Precautions.

Oyster Bay, L. L., Sept. l6.-Oyster
Bay was en- fete Monday. Clouds OF
bunting and flags adorned the build
ings and houses. Thousands OF
strangers were on the streets and cv-
cry few moments the loud report of
an anvil loaded with powder broke
the stiffness. The occasion for this
celebration was the reception which
President Roosevelt rendered to the
people Of Nassau county at his home
on Sycamore Hill. The weather was
delightful. and the members of the
committees having the affair in
charge estimate that $4,000 persons
were present. Special trains came
from Hampstead. Miueola, Far Rock
away and Freeport. in addition to
which large number of yachts
brought down parties from New York
and vicinity. One band from Brook
lyn and three from Long Island
played on the lawn during the recep-
ton.
Perfect arrangements Were madefor
The president received his neighbors
on the porch Of his house and as they
shook hands with him they passed to
the rear of the house from which
each was rendered a glass of lemon
ade The glasses were retained by
the visitors as souvenirs.
Mrs. Roosevelt was on the porch at
the time and assisted in the recep-
ton. II was decided TO dispense with
introductions. and no one was al
lowed to stop and talk with the presi-
dent. Once the line started il was
kept moving.
Extra precautions were taken 10
guard against trouble. Sheriff John
son of Nassau county had sworn in
300 special deputy sheriffs, and in adj
dition TO this, large number of Sc
cret service men were present, sta
toned about the porch.

All sorts of people in all conditions
Of life filed by the president. White
and black. poor and well-to-do, wom-
en- with babes in arms, and several
with dogs. small boys. and little girls.
all got a pleasant smile and shake
of the hand. Many were in line who
had known the president most of his
life. and their delight in renewing an
old acquaintance was apparent, but
none gave the president more pleasure
than the greeting of two old servants.
Maggie and Bridget Mitchell. who had
been servants in his fathers family.
They came from New York. where
they now live. to greet the president,
and TO show him photograph of his
father, and one of himself when he
was four years old. The president
was delighted TO see the pictures and
the old servants. and presented the
sisters to Mrs. Roosevelt.
Has His Picture Taken.
A pleasing incident occurred to-
ward the close Of the reception. The
New York policemen wanted their
picture taken with the president.
When the request was made of the
president. he he complied at once

Dora Thorn's Sled Went into an
Old Cesspool,
The BODY RECOVERED LATER
Unfortunate Girl Was a Daughter Of M. Fred
Thorn Who Lives IN This Ciiy-Mas
coasting at the Time.

Mr.. Fred Thorn. of Gettysburg.
who is working with his brother Mr..
II. p. Thorn, in the Lumber business
in this city, received the sad.news yes
erday Of the drowning of his daughter
Dora.
NJ. Thorn left on the afternoon
train Friday for Chambersburg &C.
eompanied by his rother. They Sc
cured a team at that place and drove
across the mountain to Gettysburg.
When MI. Thorn left yesterday at
teFnoon he knew none of the particu-
lars. beyond the fact that his daughter
had been drowned. Miss Thorn was a
bright young girl. IS years Of age, and
the sad news was a great shock to the
father.
Information received this morning
states that the young girl was drown
ed in a cesspool at DR.. Richards. on
Seminary Ridge Wednesday evening.
The accident occurred while Dora
and her sister Mabel, with several 9TH
ers. were ooasting down the hill.
About nine O'Clock several of them
were getting so cold that they couldn't
coast any longer, 50 they went into
town. but Dora, Mable and a few 9th
ers stayed a while longer.
Dora then said. ''I'm going down
again and then going nome. So after
they had waited long enough for hel
to have come back. and she did not
| come, they began to get scared. and
called her, but no answer came aud al
last they thought she had gone home,
and they too went in.
When they got home and found Dora
had not come yet. they told how they
had separated. Chas. Little, Dan
Shelly and John McIlhenny went on
in search of her, They came upon {
whole in the ground and Norman Nc.
| Guigan struck a match and By tht
light saw Dora's hat and sled f~ioatins
upon the water and came to the con,
clusion that she was in there. Mr..
Little went to the fire engine house
and procured a large graphing iron
and with that worked al hour and q
half before they could get the body
out.
The ~cesspool into which Dora fell
had been out of repair for some time
past and for a long time the ground
around it has been caved in. No in
quest was held.
