July.

July, for you the songs are sung
BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through tie day the lisping breeze
Is woven with their treetop glees;
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales like story books.
For you a fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom urns,
Which temptS the bees to hasten home
With honey for their honeycomb,
The river, like looking glass,
Reflects the ficecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes us almost doubt
If earth and sky aren't changed about.
July, for you in silence deep,
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on one glorious holiday,
When all our books are put away,
And every little maid and man
Is proud to be American.

Yorkville, s. g., July 49,
The death of Mr.. James Duff, at
Blacksburg, last Friday, from
morphine, was probably not due
to accident as given out at the
time; but to intent. 1t seems to
have been a case of suicide. Mr..
Duff had working interest in the
store of Jones & Duff. Some
time ago he mortgaged the stock
toA. H. Pollock, for 81, 500, and
made an unlucky investment in
cotton futures. 1t is though that
this was the cause of his suicide.
MIR. Dudley Jones is now investi-
eating the affairs of the store,
with view to ascertaining the
facts.

Deadly WhirlWind
GraSpS Baltimore.
Twelve Fatalities In Less Than
Twenty Minutes Valuable
propertyDestroyed.

Baltimore, July 2O.-A fierce
tornado, characterized by u wind
storm of extraordinary velocity,
thurfder, vivid lightning and a
heavy rain, suddenly burst upon
Baltimore at 1.3Op M, today,
coming from the southwest, with
the net result that II persons lost
their lives, hundreds of houses
were unroofed, trees in the pub
lie parks and streets were torn up
by the roots, many buildings dam
aged and several people injured.
The storm exhausted It's fury in
less than Is minutes. The dam
age done in !he business portion
of the city was comparatively
slight, being confined to their
blowing down of signs and inJu-
ries to roofs. 1t was in the resl>
dence portions of the city along
the river front and in the harbor
where the wind spent its violence.
Of those who perishcd nine
were drowned IN the harbor from
open beats, one was killed by a
falling tree and one by Il live
wire.
The drowning of Mrs. Schuler
and her children was the most
pathetic incident of the hurricane.
Michael Schuler with his wife and
three children accompanied by his
brother.iu-law Joseph Cooper,
and his wife had gone out into the
harbor for sail in = 30foot boat.
When the storm came Schuler and
Cooper took in the sails. Schuler
sent mis- wife and children into the
little cabin and he stood at her
tiller to keep the vessel, head to-
ward the wind.
A sudden gust of wind threw
the boom of the vessel around,
knocked Schuler down and pinned
him to the deck. Another gust
capsized the boat, releasing Schu-
ler, who with Cooper and the lat
ters wife were thrown into the
water, leaving Mrs. Schuler and
her children.
PINNED IN THE CABIN.
Cooper saved himself and his
wife by hanging to the bottom of
the overturned boat, and Schuler
saved himself in the same way,
