BULLETS STOPPED A FUGITIVE.
joe oxford Was wanted for Break
ing a Large Plate Glass.

Failing to heed the command of
Mounted Patrolman McQuade to halt,
Joe oxford, a negro, yesterday felt the
sensation of having two pistol balls
whistle by him. Where words had no
effect, the bullets acted as a barrier.
oxford was wanted for breaking a
large, plate glass in the window of
Young & Co.'S drug store, on Haber-
sham and Anderson streets, Saturday
afternoon. He kept out of the way of
the police, and when Officer McQuade
came in sight attempted to escape. The
patrolman fired two shots before the
negro came to a halt, near Price and
Anderson streets. oxford was sent to
the station house, and will be given a
hearing by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning.

THIRTEEN-CENT STAMP

Postnaster-G General Payne, Edwin q.
Madden, the third assistant postmaster
general, and Major Reeve, chief OF the
stamp division of the Post Office Depart
ment, have decided on a new stamp,
particularly designed for the foreign
mail service. It is to be of denomina-
ton new to the postal service-thirteen
cents. At present it is impossible to
send registered letter through the for
eign mails without using two stamps, one
of five cents to pay the postage and one
OF eight cents to pay the cost of registra-
ton. When the thirteen-cent stamp is
on sale this will, of course, be obviated
bv the use of one stamp. The design Of
the stamp provides for portrait OF Presi-
dent Harrison, and Mr.. Madden and
Major Reeve Monday decided on the por-
trait from which the stamp is to be made.
1t is an excellent likeness and one OF the
cIearest prints which could possibly be
obtained. Mr.. Harrison is shown seated
at his desk in the Executive Mansion,
with his face turned little to the left
from the camera. The portrait is said to
have been favorite with both President
and Mrs. Harrison.

TWO KILLED

A disastrous freight wreck occurred at
an early hour Tuesday morning on the
Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad, a
few miles north of Port Deposit. Two
trainmen lost their lives, and a brakeman
is slightly injured. The killed are
ENGINEER HATCH, aged 45 years.
FIREMAN WILHOLLEN, aged %
years.
The only man injured is BRAKEMAN
WOLF.
A southbound freight train en- route
from Columbia, Pa, to Perryville, Cecil
county, with 40 heavily loaded coal cars
crashed into large rock on the track
near Gully station at 1 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The train was running at
high rate of speed at the time of the ac-
cident. The locomotive struck the OBJ
struction with such force that the engine
and 20 cars were piled up into one great,
mass of wreckage.
The engineer and fireman were in
stantly killed. A brakeman by the
name of Wolf was fastened under the
debris and wasonly rescued from his per-
ilous position after many hours of hard
work Oh the part of the railroad officials.
He was caught under the wrecked cars,
which were piled over him in great
mass of broken timber, coal, etc. When
assistance arrived Wolf stated that he
was but slightly injured, but begged the
trainmen not to attempt to move the
heavy timbers that hemmed him in, as
the slightest movement OF the wFeckage
would crush him instantly. By that
time the wreck trains from Columbia
and Perryville arrived on the scene and
the officials decided that the only safe
plan was to dig a tunnel under the place
where Wolfe was imprisoned. This
required many hours of hard work and
it was after u o'clock Tuesday before
the brave brakeman was released.

STATE AND MARYLAND NEWS
FRUIT BENEFITED

There is absolutely no truth in the
report that the peach crop has been in
Jured by the storm of last week, said
a down State fruit grower, Tuesday.
The sleet down the State was not one
half as heavy as it was in Wilmington
aud | have not heard yet of one tree
being broken.
AT this time of the year it would be
almost impossible to hurt the coming
crop unless you broke the limbs and in
that way lessened the crop, but even that
would not hurt the trees, as the sap is
low enough to offset any harm from such
cause. The snow is a benefit to the
crop, as it will help back the buds and
perhaps prevent the tree from sprouting
until winter is over. 1t is the frost that
does the most harm to fruit trees and it
generally gets in its work of destruction
about the latter part of spring after the
buds have made their appearance. I
would say from present indications that
we will have a large crop of peaches this
year unless the yellows makes its ap-
pearance.
As for the apple crop, equally good
reports are to be made The trees are
tough and wiry and when covered by the
frost simply dropped. To-day they are
as straight as ever and give every indica-
tion of yielding well. Small fruits, such
as berries were also helped by the storm"

HUNGER TAMES THEM

The heavy snow which has covered
the ground the past week has caused
something of a famine among the birds
and small animals of the woods. Many
of them have become so tame that they
have displayed willingness to be So
ciable with civilization for few crumbs
and other morsels of food.
The partridges have become so tame
through hunger that they have ventured
out of their wooded retreats and made
daily visits to the houses in the vicinity
in search of food. Judging from these
signs, there must be a scarcity of eat
ables, as partridges are very cautious
birds when in the wild state, and are not
at all inclined to be friendly with human
kind. Partridges are usually fortunate
in finding sufficient supply of food, un-
less the winter is unusually long and the
snow heavy. When the earth is covered
with snow which lies for any length of
time, the partridges are shut off, as it
were, from their commissary base.

DOG ADOPTS KITTENS

Three weeks ago two black kittens
made their appearance at the home of
Farmer Samuel Guessford, near Fields
boro. The mother cat left them alone
one day for a short time. 1t was then
that bird dog owned by Mr.. Guessford,
grasped one of the kittens and ran up
stairs. The dog returned almost i'm
mediately and taking the other kitten in
its mouth, made another hurried trip up
the stairs, Guessford followed the dog on
its second trip and found the kitten safely
slowed away in one corner of an old bed
in room that was seldom used. From
thst time to this the dog has played
mother to the kittens. The mother cat
seems satisfied with her lot, and never
interferes with the dog. At times the
cat will spend few minutes with the
kittens, but invariably when the dog
puts in an appearance, the cat will sur
render her family to the dogs care.

DELAWARE BUoYs GONE

s. NJ. Schellinger, ore of the Delaware
pilots, Monday reported that the lights
and buoys in the lower Delaware bay have
been neglected, and are in an inefficient
condition. He said that the wreck of
the schooner Arthur G. Wade on Friday
night was due largely to the dim light on
the breakwater.
He also complained that the two buoys
supposed to be on Cherry Island flats are
not there. The iron one at the western
end is sunk, and the spar buoy has been
broken off level with the water by drift
ing ice. These conditions, he added,
would surely result in disaster if the
Philadelphia Lighthouse Board officials
do not remedy them.

MAx1Ms FOE THE MARRIED

A. Conan Doyle, time creator of Their.
lock Holmes and various other inter.
esting characters, is responsible for the
following:
Since you are married you may as well
make the best of it.
So make some maxims, and try to live
up to them.
And don't be discouraged if you fail.
You will fail, but perhaps you won't
always fail.
Never both be cross at the same time.
Wait your turn.
Never cease to be lovers. II you cease,
some one else may begin.
You we're gentleman and lady before
you were husband and wife. Don'i
forget it.
Keep yourself at your best. 1t is 6
compliment to your partner.
Keep your ideal high. You may miss
it, but it is better to miss high one than
to hit low one.
A blind love is foolish love. Encour.
age the best.
Permanent mutual respect is necessary
for permanent mutual love.
The tight cord is the easiest to snap.
If you take liberties, be prepared to
give them.
There is only one thing worse than
quarrels in public. That is caresses.
Money is not essential to happiness,
but happy people usually have enough.
So save soma.
The easiest way of saving is to do
without things.
If you can't then you had better do
without wife.
The man who respects his wife does
not turn her into a mendicant. Give
her purse of her own.
If you save, save at your own expense.
In all matters of money prepare always
for the worst and hope for the best
From "a Duet" by A. Conan Doyle.
