The w. C. 7. U. Supper.
Reported for the democratic Advocate.

The supper given at the parsonage by the
Deer Park w. G. T. Twas attended by about
100 persons The gathering was one of the
most pleasant and profitable as well as grand
success. 1t was through the hearty co-opera-
ton of the friends in the neighborhood, who
furnished donations, that caused it to be the
complete success that it was and for which the
ladies of the Union feel very grateful. The
program was brief yet seemed TO please.
These meetings mean labor, but it is hoped
that good seed is being sown that will bring
abundant harvest.

Thrilling Experience Of Young
Lady--Two Boys Drowned.

MIDDLErowN. Nd, Feb. 23.-Miss Katie
Lutz, a young lady Is years old, daughter of
Mr.. Lewis Lutz, living between Middletown
and Minersville, Frederick county, had
miraculous escape from drowning this after
moor at Shootsville, mile or so west of Mid
detown. Miss Lutz was crossing footlog
over the Little Catoctin in company with Mr..
Samuel Crone. In making the transit she
became dizzy aud fell headlong into the
stream, which was greatly swollen from the
melting snow. The current was very swift,
and she was swept down stream rapidly. Her
companion ran across the log and along the
bank and seized her, but she was quickly
swept from his grasp. About 800 feet farther
down the stream, near where it emplies into
the Big Catoctin, Messrs. William Siger and
Lawrence Biser ran to the rescue. As she
was carried by the swiftly rushing water to-
ward the bank Mr.. Sigler seized hold of her,
but the current again tore her from his grasp.
Mr. Biser ran to tree and, seizing hold with
one hand. leaned out as she was carried down,
feet foremost, hands extended and head part.
ly under the water. He grabbed her hand
and was fortunately able to hold on to her.
1t took the united efforts of the three men to
pull her, all limp and unconscious, from the
swift water. She was carried to Mr.. Bser's
home, near by, and the usual methods of
resuscitaton were successfully used. DR..
Beckley, of Middletown, was sent for, but
when he arrived Miss Lutz was fully restored
to consciousness.

HAGERsrowN, Nd, Feb. 26.--James Dens-
more, aged 20 years, and Roy Snodderly. aged
II years, were drowned in Antietam creek, in
Washington county, this morning while at
tempting to drive across the swollen stream in
a wagon. A younger brother of Roy Snod-
derby was with them. He got out of the
wagon on to the back of the horse to guide
him through the water. They were warned
not to make the attempt. II e swift current
carried the horse off its feet, upset the wagon,
and in a moment all three boys were founder
ing in the water. They we're carried rapidly
down stream in sight of many persons, who
were powerless to rescue them. The horse
was drowned and only the younger Snodderly
escaped with his life. He drifted down stream
about rs yards, when he struck a tree which
stood in eight feet of water. He climbed up
into its branches and sat there, drenched and
shivering, for two hours. He was finally res
cued after repeated attempts by John Bailey
who got into boat and pushed out through
the torrent toward the tree. He threw rope
to youLg Snodderly, who finally got into the
boat, amid the cheers of those who stood on
the banks. The rescue was witnessed by his
father. The boy was nearly frozen.

Pittsburg. Penn. April 23.-The ten
round bout between Hughey McIoVerll,
brother Of Terry McGovern, and Frank
A1cCloskey, Of Pittsburg, was the hard-
est fight witnessed here for years. II
took place at the Millvale baseball
grounds and was witnessed by 1000 PEG
pie.
1t wound up in a riot, however, which
was only quelled by the scores OF police
officers from Allegheny and Pittsburg
who were present to see the show, but
were not on duty. and they punched
around County Detective Bob Robinson,
who took command and stopped the row.
Tim Hurst was referee McGovern
weighed IN at 112, NcClOskey at 1l3. The
Pittsburger rushed A1cGoyern from start
to finish, and A1cGovern showed seien-
tific training in keeping away from him.
Terry advised his brother to keep up
this game, and both looked as if they
would have gone 10 more rounds. Hurst
declared the battle draw. The crowd
was dissatisfied, and Loudon Campbell,
a Pittsburg boxer. during an argument
struck Tim Hurst while he was not
looking. This was the signal for a gem
eral fight Red Mason, the promoter
and manager of the show, got in Hurst's
way and was laid out. During the mix
UP a gang OF Allegheny thieves dove in
to the crowd. and spectators reported to
the police that they lost over $500
through pickpockets. 1t is suspected
much more was lost, some keeping their
loss a secret. It is the belief the row
was started to give the thieves a chance
to get in their work.

hearing the strange tale of his client,
said no jury would convict him. He
had been sworn to secrecy and went 10
Wichita expecting to return today and
begin on line of defense for Cum
mings. When Elliott returned today he
found that Cummings had decided to
hold to his original plan to plead guilty
and ask the mercy of the court. Many
persons had seen him and. not knowing
the secret part of his story, but believ-
ing his confession that he had killed the
girl by an accidental blow, had talked
him into staying by his first decision
and entering a plea of guilty
It's the strangest case in my prae-
tice as an attorney said Mr. Elliott to-
day, and il Cummings would let me
tell his story as he has told it to me,
the court would not take his plea Of
guilty He would walk from his cell a
free man"
Elliott is the only one to whom Cum
Inings has told his story and he says he
is bound to secrecy by professional
ethics. He says his client will plead
guilty tomorrow and take his sentence.

Kansas City. Kan. April 23-Two
Kansas City, Kan. saloons were held
up and robbed in true border fashion
last night. the robberies occurring with
IN about half an hour of each other and
the police believe that both were COM
mitted by the same men.
About 10;36 o'clock two men, wearing
black masks and carrying revolvers,
entered Delehunty's saloon at Kansas
avenue and Adams street in Armour
dale, and told the bartender, Mike
Kelly to turn his back to the wall.
There was no one else in the saloon
Kelly did as commanded Then he was
told to march to the rear of the saloon
which he did. While one of the robbers
covered him with a gun, the other went
through the cash register and got So
and two loaded revolyers- They then
went out the front door and ran rapidly
in the direction OF Swift's packing
house.
About thirty-five minutes later half
dozen customers and the bartender,
Joseph Settles, were held up IN Robert
Burton's saloon at Seventh and Central
avenue by two men who answer the des-
cRiption of the Armourdale robbers
Some of the customers started TO run
for the doors, but shot from gun IN
the hands of one of the robbers stopped
them. The robbers rushed into the
place. and addressing the bartender,
said: I'VE want your money or your
life; if we don't get one we will get
It was at this juneture that some Of
the men started from the room One of
the robbers wheeled around and fired a
bullet into the wall The customers
lined up and did not say word. The
bartender handed over $14, all there was
in the cash drawer. Then the robbers
turned their attention to the others in
the ROOM From a man known as
Dutch joe" who is the proprietor of
sal kon at Fourth and Central avenue
they secured $50. The others did not
have any money
The shot fired by the robber aroused
the whole neighborheod in the vicinity
Of Seventh and Central avenue and men
ran toward the saloon. When the rob-
bers went out the door, however, dis
playing their guns, the mob fed. The
robbers started east from Seventh street
and no one attempted to follow them.
The robbers in each instance wore
black masks and each carried a re-
volver. They are given the proverbial
description of the long and short man,
but otherwise the police have nothing
to work on.
The two saloons are about a mile
apart. If the robbers took street car
from Armourdale they could easily have
reached Seventh and Central avenue
within twenty minutes
