Kingsville, 18th District-Mr. VIM. Bur-
ton, whose illness has been noted in your
paper, died from heart disease at the home of
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Charles Gorsuch, at
Fork, last Sunday morning. He was buried
from his late residence, Thursday last, at P.
German officiated. Mr.. John Arthur was the
funeral director. Mr.. Burton was IA years old
and until the last few years was an active man.
He was gentleman of the old school, polish :
ed, refined and always manifested great def
erence for others. Until few years ago he
was real estate agent, in which business he
had grown to be a man in very easy circum-
stances. His former home was Norristown, Pa.
The sleet on last Friday and Saturday played
havoc in our community. The Maryland
Telephone line running from here to Belair is
wrecked for miles. Much damage was done
to fruit and ornamental trees. The beautiful
residence of DR.. J. f. H. Gorsuch, at Fork,
suffered very severly, the fir trees and silver
and sugar naples and great deal OF shruDDery
is seriously injured.
DIR. J. L. H. Gorsuch attended the Johns
Hopkins University jubilee celebration on
Saturday last. 1t was magnificent gathering
of scholars from almost every state in the
Union, every important university in the
country being represented. The committee
sent out but few invitations in the county and
those who attended will not soon meet such
another gathering.
Mr.. VIM. Crossmore, of Upper Falls, is erec-
ting a large canning house at that place.
The patrons of the postoffice at this place are
making vigorous fight against the proposed
rural free mail delivery in this section.
The high water in the Gunpowder has fur
nshed fine sport for many persons over here
by washing hundreds of German carp ashore
along its banks. great many have been
caught in the last few days. some weighing
IA pounds each. ID.

Monkton, 10th District.-The storm of
February 21st, 1902. will not be forgotten very
soon. Some of our Oldest residents say they
never before saw such destruction to the trees.
The country hereabout looks like cyclone
had passed through it. 1t will be long time
before our beautiful lawns, driveways and Or
chards will look as they did before this storm.
And then the trees will have to go Through an
other ordeal in 1902, this being the year for the
17-year locusts.
My Lady's Manor were badly tangled by the
heavy sleet of the 21st and communication
was greatly interfered with. As soon as the
storm was over, however, matters were rap
idly gotten into shape again.
One of the street lamps in front of Squire
Kauffmans residence was broken by falling
limb from one of his ornamental trees.
Monkton grist mill came near being tied up
during the late cold weather The miller, Mr..
Harry A. Walter, had four feet of ice to con-
tend with. But everything is now clear and
the mill is running full blast.
The s'blind auction" that was announced to
take place here on Saturday night last at the
home of Mr.. Bosley was postponed on account
of the weather until Saturday night, March
LIST, from to 10 O'Clock. Admission 10 cts.
Light refreshments will be served Free
There is a great deal of sickness through this
section of the county and the physicians are
kept going night and day. There are many
cases of pinkeye and some people are nursing
very sore eyes.
There are three mail routes going out from
Monkton, but only one of them is a rural free
delivery route at present VIM. ID. Shepperd,
the carrier, will make his first trip March LIST.
Starting here it goes by way of Shepperd post
Office, Hopes school house and Hess postoffice
and returns by way of Manor and Shepherd.
He will leave here at 6.15 A. NJ. and return
about l p NJ, in time for the Baltimore mail
to leave at 214 instead of 5.23, as heretofore.
Miss Eva Shepperd, daughter of Mrs. J.
Winfield Shepperd, of My Lady's Manor, is a
student at Bryan & STATIONS business college

Manor Glen, 10th District.-The meeting
of the Ladies' Aid Society of Good Will M. Z.
Church was held Monday night last at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. William l.. Amos.
There was large attendance and the occasion
was one of more than ordinary interest.
The heavy sleet of Friday and Saturday OF
last week did a good deal of damage, both
forest and fruit trees having suffered severely.
The Christian Endeavor meeting at Chestnut
Grove Church last Sunday evening was in
charge of Mr. Arthur Owens, who made an
interesting address. Owing to the condition
of the roads the attendance was small.
Mrs. Anna Trapp, of Jacksonville, who had
been visiting relatives in Baltimore, has re-
turned.
The debate that took place last Saturday
night at the store of Mr.. II. P. Parrish, Manor
Glen, was very interesting. Mr. Charles H.
Isennock took the law side of the subject and
Mr.. Parrish talked in behalf of the physicians.
The judges decided in favor of the first named.
Another meeting will be held at the same
place, Saturday night, March LIST, when an in

Sparks, NJ G. r. Friday, February
2lst, will be day long remembered by those
living in the country. Everything outside was
clad in an armor of ice, but the extra covering
proved no protection, as the trees could not
bear the weight of ice and such cracking and
crashing was never heard, in the absence of q
cyclone The rain continued all day and by
nghtfall the Gunpowder river overfiowed its
banks and, while not doing any damage to the
station property here, made it unsafe to cross
the road. To add to the excitement of the
evening came the news of the wreck of an ex-
press train Just below here. Fortunately the
trouble was not serious. A large limb had
fallen on the track between the station and
Mystic Quarry and in some way had caused
the engine of the train to slip off the track,
but none Of the cars were derailed. The train
was somewhat delayed owing to the time
taken in. getting the engine on the track
Sunday last was beautiful day. The sun
rose over a land of exquisite beauty, with
glistening trees and shining whiteness.
Tuesday the rain again poured In torrents
and every rut turned into rivulet. The snow
melted the rain fell and by evening the Cum
powder river again overhowed. Fortunately
no damage was done, although the road was
impossible. The water had gone down several
feet by Wednesday morning, but was yet deep
enough to cause the milk shippers much ankle
ty in crossing. The wagon of Mr.. J. b. Miles
was TUNED by the current and began to go
down stream. BY the courage and good judg-
ment of Mr.. Miles the horses were forced to
higher ground and so escaped.
Miss Sue Underwood, of this place, is visit
ing Mrs. Keecb, of Georgetown D. G.
Mrs. George Underwood is suffering from an
attack of grip.
Miss Blanche Edwards, who had been visit
ing relatives in Baltimore, has returned. >.

UNION today.
= Last week Mr. William s. Keech, of
Towson, advertised valuable setter dog in
THE UNION, the animal having mysteriously
disappeared from his home. A day or two af-
forwards the dog was found chained up in a
gentleman's stable near Ruxton, and the COL
ored coachman who had him told rather
shady story OF how he came there. The sup
position is that the dog was enticed away and
held for a reward-a trick that is not uncom-
mon these days.
THE storm of last week made trouble
some travelling on the suburban trolley lines.
The York road line was badly tied up on
Friday afternoon and many of the cars did
not reach Towson at all. Some passengers who
left Baltimore early in the afternoon were over
three hours getting here and then were obliged
to walk good part of the way. General
Manager House said the storm was the worst
of its kind that he had seen in an experience
of forty years of railroading.
Through all the heavy rain storm of
last Tuesday Abram l.. Bosley and Miss Leila
B. Huntermark drove from Parkton to Tow
son, procured license and then returned to
Cockeysyille, where they were married by
Rev A. I. Pindell, of Sherwood Church.
After the ceremony they again entered their
buggy and proceeded homeward. The dis
lance they drove during the day was nearly so
miles. Young people with nerve like that
ought to get through the world all right
= There appears to be general wish that
CdLuucI OuOeudkeI Will uOt ueCllut
the office of School Com missioner, to which
he was last week nominated by Gov Smith.
Although Democrat, Mr.. Shoemaker can be
depended on to discharge the duties of the Of
tice without fear or favor and without any re-
gard to politics. A story has been circulated
that he was given this position in order to get
him out of the way for another office to which
he aspired. 1t is almost needless to say that
this is not true. He was not an applicant for
any Office.
1.-THE ice in the Gunpowder broke up on
Friday evening of last week and caused one OF
the heaviest freshets that stream has ever
known. Great blocks of it, about foot thick,
fioated down and much of this lodged on the
flats and banks along Loeb Raven. The
Sweet Air turnpike Immediately east of Mere
dith's ford bridge was completely blocked by
a great wall of ice that had lodged against a
post-and-rai fence, forming almost complete
ployed on Monday to cut an opening through
this ice jam.

POLICE WHRN6D BUT
DIDN'T PREVENT KILLING
Sam Miller, a Kansas City Tailor,
Went to Memphis and Shot His
Wife

MEMPHIS, Dec. 2.-Sam Miller shot
and killed his wife, Mrs. Gussie Miller
| acre today.
Miller is a tailor by profession and
has lived in' Kansas City for several
years. He LETT there yesterday for Mem.
l'phis, and the police received warning. OF
his purpose to kill his wife when he ar.
rived.
BY some means Miller succeeded in
eluding the detectives who were waiting
for him at the railroad station, and i'm
Imediately proceeded to the store kept
by his wife.
1t is alleged that he was armed with
two revolvers and that as soon as he
saw her he began shooting. The wom-
ans three children were about her at
the time.
Miller was arrested before he left the
store, and it was then discovered that he
had been wounded in the head. The
police think that Miller either willfullv
shot himself to substantiate plea of
self.defense or with the intentionsof sui-
eide. The wound is not serious one,
the bullet merely grazing his forehead
He claims that his wife shot him and
that he then disarmed1 ands her.
Both the man and woman are Russian
Jews.

Is CHARGED WITH
HIS mF6'S MURDER
Warrant Sworn Out HgaInst Lee
Weigel and Served Upon Him in
His Bed.

Texarkana, Tex, Dec. 2.-The Weigel
tragedy remains the sole topic here. Not
in years has the community been so ter
ribly wrought up.
1t is known that Weigel purchased a
quantity of poison at Montgomery, Ala,
In addition to that procured here on the
night of his arrival. Physicians state
that Weigel was sufferiong from NOR
phine poisoning when found. The au
topsy on the dead woman's body failed
to develop any trace of poison.
This post mortem revealed another
knife wound not noticed before on the
woman's body. It was made by very
marrow, keen knife blade which entered
p short distance below the left nipple
and pierced the heart. :
"A warrant was sworn out and served
upon Weigel as he lay in his bed yester-
DAY afternoon, charging him with mus
der. He continues to improve, and his
recovery is now regarded as certain. w.
=. Quinn, purchasing agent for the Red
River Valley Railroad, a brother of the
dead woman, reached here from Shreve-
port this morning. He broke down and
cried like a child when led into the pre-
sence of his dead sister.
Il cannot undertand it at ALL" he
moaned. "How could he have the heart
CO harm my poor sister? She was as
good woman as ever lived and this ter
rible ending to so pure life is almost
too crushing to be borne"
The whole affair remains as great a
mystery as at first.

B6vERIDGE and The REPUBLICAN,
MAJORITY OPPOSED TO HDMIS-
SION OF HRIZONH HND NEW MEXICO
There Fire Fourteen Republicans, HOW6v6r,
and Thlrty-Slx Democrats to Mdk6 a
Majority for the Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2-There
is no longer doubt that Senator Bev.
eridge and majority of the Republi-
cans OF the committee ON Territories in
tend to antagonize the Omnibus State
hood bill.
Beveridge and thoee who stand with
him, embracing majority of the Sen.
ate Republicans. will advocate the ad.
mission of Oklahoma and the rejection
of the claims of Arizona and New Mex
leo.
\ Pressure was brought to bear on the
President by the party leaders to dis
courage Statehood for the Territories in
his message and the fact that there is no
reference to the subject in the message
is construed to mean that the President
stands neutral on the subject
There was further conference OF the
anti-Statehood Senators in Beveridge' g
committee room today. Beverldge is
working ou his report, in which il ia un.
derstood he will assail the qualifications
of New Mexico and Arizona Heitfeldt
OF Idaho, will make minority report
advocating the passage of the Omnibus
bill as it came from the House.
The attitude of the committee Is un-
certain. All the Democratic members
favor the Omnibus bill and so does Sem
ator Quay. Bard of California holds
the balance OF power in the committee
