FLEEING FROM THE BOXERS

London. June 9-Dehnite returns regarding

TO reach London were filed. The Chinese troops.

some reports while another account had the
Government forces defeated in an engagement
Pao-Ting-Fu. Apparently the Legation
guards have not yet taken a hand in the fight
ing, but they are ready to do so at moments
notice.
The Boxer movement affects some hundreds
of square miles. Official dispatches TO Vienna
from Peking say that the sect is more powerful
than any political party in China. embracing
less than 100000 members. and manipulated
by Jealous and adroit men,
The representatives of the Powers are still act

present TO give the Chinese Government
ample chance to put down the disturbers alone
The Tfen-Tsin correspondent of The Daily

General Neih seems bent upon acting with
energy and dealing out heavy blows TO the
rebels. recognizing the necessity of destroying
the prestige of the Boxers. which has begun to
demoralize his army.
Secret orders from Peking for the protection OF
the rebels have paraIyzed military action and
raised the status of the Boxers in the eyes Of
the ignorant masses Although the Boxers de-
clare their first object to be the annihiation OF
Catholic converts, the wire pullers evidently

Detroit, June S.-To Admiral Dewey was this
afternoon shown the statement made by The
Manila Times concerning an alleged recovery
by General Funstons men of portion of the
archives of the Filipino rebel government which,
1t was claimed contained certain correspondence
between Aguinaldo and Dewey
After reading the statement, Admiral Dewey
positively denied ever having written Agui-

naldo in my life. Whenever I wanted to see
him sent for him. He was employed by me for
certain purposes, Just as I employed a lot Of

promises. If there had been five thousand

A Hitch In the Trolley.

Mr.. Charles P. King acting for a
syndicate, offered to subscribe for
the whole of the stock of the Cherry
Hill, Elkton & Chesapeake City
Railway Company at the meeting
to receive subscriptions held last
week in Elkton, but opposition was
made to such summary proceedings
which appeared to take away the
breath of the easy going Elktonians.
At the meeting of the board which
Mr.. King attended and offered to
subscribe for the whole of the stock,
a motion was offered by Mr.. John
S. Writ that the books be imme-
diately opened for subscription to
stock and that they be kept open
for ten days. A majority of the
board adopted an amendment Of
fered that the books should not be
opened until June 22d.
The object appeared to be in the
postponement to give local capital
lists time to consider. They hadn't,
up to that time subscribed fer a
share of stock.

On Monday, July 2, the new
national bank of Havre de Grace
expects to open for business and
commence grinding interest out OF
the bones and blood of labor. This
may seem like a figure of speech
but it is a literal fact. The bone
and blood of labor are expended in
the production of wealth or prop
erty, from which creation all in
terest is drawn, by loaning scredit"
to the organizers of labor and pay
ing the organizers checks with the
money of depositors. Wouldn't it
be better for the organizers and
their hands if the government
loaned them the money or credit
without interest?

commencement Of F. MI

On last Friday evening the 26tf
commencement of Friends Norma
Institute, of Rising Sun, was held
Miss Helena Decor, principal. The
stage had been beautifully dressed
for the occasion with foliage O
brightest green, the rich spring
dress of plant and trees. The
school room was crowded to its
utmost capacity with the school, it,
patrons and friends.
The satisfactory manner in
which the pupils acquitted them
selves was compliment to them
and their teacher, whose modest
merit shown brightest in her work,
which was reflected in the prompt
and accurate manner her scholars
performed their several different
parts.
The program opened by the
school reciting one of the Psalms,
followed by the oratorical sa'uta-
tory by Miss Maude Kirk, a neat
little poem fitted to the occasion by
Miss Mabel Duyckinck, and an ora
ton by Miss Helen Phillips, all well
delivered. The presentation adj
dress-the funny episode of such
occasion-had been assigned to
Miss Mary Haines, who presented
each one of her schoolmates with
some priceless gift, supposed to
reflect the predominating charac-
teristic feature of the recipients
life. Miss Margaret Boyd's grafton,
and the history of the class, by
Miss. Emily Duyckinck, were also
very good.
The graduating class of 1900 were
Misses Margaret Boyd, Emily
Duyckinck, Mabel Duyckinck,
Maude Kirk and Helen Phillips.
Mr.. E. r. Burlington delivered
an address and presented the
diplomas to the class. T. K.
Stubs, Esq.,, of Oxford, was the
orator of the occasion and closed
the commencement exercises of the
+. N. /. with short address most
appropriately fitted to the occasion.
The school will open September
10th with a new principal, Miss
DeCou having rendered her res
isnation.
The Institute, with a number of
friends, picniced at Gilpin's Rocks
on Saturday and Notwithstanding
the rain had an enjoyable day.

Watson Case Reversed.

The Court of Appeals has rem
dered its decision in the case of the
B. q o. Railroad Company VS..
Clinton Watson, reversing the de-
cision of the lower court.
The case was tried in the Circuit
Court for Cecil county, December
term 1899, and resulted in a verdict
for Watson, assessing the damage
at $20S3. Watson was driving a
wagon on the road that runs under
the B. & o. at Frenchtown, on the
Susquehanna river. His horses
became frightened at the whistle OF
a locomotive on the track above,
ran away throwing him out and
breaking his leg.
The Court of Appeals said that
"The only question before us on
this record are the two principal
questions which are generally in
volved in actions to recover DAM
ages for injury caused by the
neglect act of another-that is, first,
was the injury caused entirely by
the negligence of the defendant, Oh
secondly, did the plaintiff by his
own negligence directly contribute
to his own misfortune? In the case
at bar the plaintiff testiies that he
did look and listen, but neither saw
nor heard it. We have said he
was bound to hear it under the
circumstances in evidence" Re-
versed without a new trial.
