ton. She was waiting at the station Tor the
passing of the 4'30 train from Washington.
In order to join her husband, who had alight
ed on the opposite side Mrs Van Hoy
failed to notice that mail train was coming
at great speed on the down track, and after
the passengers had alighted from the other
train she started to cross After stepping
on the track she must have seen the ap.
preaching train, for she had turned TO re-
trace her steps when the guard OF the engine
struck her and hurled her against telegraph
pole
Among the first to reach her side was her
husband, who had witnessed the shocking
accident from the opposite side Of the track,
and who had just prevented another lady
from rushing to a like fate Several persons
shouted to warn Mrs. Van Hoy Of her dan :
ger, but the noise of the train and the ring
ing Of the alarm bells must have drowned
their voices. The unfortunate lady was
taken to the dry goods store opposite, but
life was extinct She is survived by two
children, a girl and boy, aged ten aud twelve
years. The family for some time resided
at Rockville.

cent Of crime and poverty Is caused by the
use Of liquor sold In the public saloon. On
that basis the people Of this county are taxed
to the extent of $4,000 for the crimes and
poverty caused by drink II the number OF
places where liquor 10 sold is reduced the
cost of crime is reduced II the number Is in
creased crime increases, the cost Increases
and taxation must necessarily increase. So
that in order to get back the $lS, 900 we
spend we must license over 10 places in the
county at $3.50 each, but as this large mum
Der of licensed places under the protection of
the law would according to the inevitable
largely increase the crimes, II follows that
we could never make the income equal or
even approach the cost This is especially go,
because according to law, only q small frac-
ton Of license now goes to the oInty, nearly
all OF 1t goes directly into the State treasury.
Further, II We were to license 100 saloons
in this cOun ty at $3.50 each and could get
S25, 900 per annum to pay our crime bill, not
counting the enormous increase In crime these
saloons would make, we want to ask where
would we locate these crime iucubators 2
Would we put one OF them near your home,
or near your church, or near your public
school, or on the public road where your
wife and children now travel safely, or would
you put II near some other citizens homer
High license is fallacious AS any argu meut
that Satan ever invented for man deception,
and as dangerous, and the wise will not be
deceived thereby.

another years time TO this very good work
as opportunity offers with increasing vigi-
lance, an d activity, and firm reliance on
