barrel of one held by Lewis l.. Humphrey,
seventeen years of age, who was his i'm
mediate companion, on the way home
from the hunt.
The other boys gun was discharged,
the load of shot tearing its way through
the victims right side and arm. Dr. John
Simpson, of Oxon Hill, was sent for and
after an examination decided to ampntate
the arm near the shoulder as the muscles

Condition Of the Crops.

The weekly report of the Climate and
Crop Service of the United States Weather
Bureau, issued Tuesday states that the
rainfall in the western counties Of the
state was normal, moderate Northern
central and South ern Maryland, deficient
about Baltimore, and heavy in Eastern
Maryland and Delaware. Corn is report
ed as being improved in some places by
the warmth and sunshine of the first part
of the week, but is so backward that the
farmers fear heavy loss in case of an
early killing frost. Reports of the tobacco
crop are not so favorable as earlier in the
season. Complaint of apple dropping
has become quite general, but the out
look for good crop is still regarded as
being promising.

qu1etest and most tranquil spot in the
vatican. The pontiff lay on the bed,
the pillows Of which were not whittier
than his face, which has a strange as
pect, owing to his not having been
shaved for so long. His hands were
folded over rosary, which he had used
tor over fifty years. The famous arm
chair stood invitingly neal, with his
stick beside it. While Contra, his valet,
prayed and wept before the huge ivory
crucifiX, DR.. Lapponi sat beside the bed

Took Some Food. ..
The doctor from time to time rose
OF which this morning the pontiff tool
some. Indeed, DIR. Lapponi succeeded
in having him swallow several tea
~spoonfuls of coffee, milk and brandy,
mixed.
The silence of the sickroom was oc-
casionally broken by a hacking cough,
due to the gathering of phiegm in the
pope's throat. These coughing spells
had the effect of rousing the pontiff
and causing him to open his eyes and
revive slightly. While the doctors
were examining their patient this
morning, believing him to be in a
stupor, his holiness suddenly fixed his
eyes, even now bright and by no means
l~lfeless, on them, saying:
Ih1S time, doctors, you will not win
In your brave fight with DEATH"
1t is your holiness who is brave"
replied Lapponi; but before the remark
was uttered the pope had again be-
come unable to understand what was
said.

THE LAST HOURS.
Ieo's Mind Continued MarveIousIy
Bright in His Lucid Moments.

Rome, July 2~0.-Although this morn
ing bulletin gave the impression the
popes condition was somewhat ameli-
GRATED, In reality the doctors did not
think SC. They considered the lowering
OF the pulse and the diminution of res
plration due to a great prostration of
the whole organism, which was aug
ment1ng Notwithstanding the fact the
patient was at times taking a little
nourishment The pope continues now
and then to mutter prases, although
unconscious.
His mind had evidently returned to
events which had impressed him most
before his illness began. A. one mo-
ment he would be feeling about with
MS hands, and moving his hand from
slde to side, trying to lift himself while
he murmured, what crowds, what de-
votion, my dear people," Then, falling
back inertiy, would sigh and says: "Oh,
the weight of these robes. Can I hold
out until the end?"
This was followed by scraps of Latin
verses and prayers and then would

LEO Kill.

Gradually the shadow Of death spread
over the pontiff, his extremities became
cold. the features assumed the fixed
r1g1d1ty Of death, and DR.. Lapponi
noted his last 1uttering heart-beats,
which gradually became slower and
slower until they finally stopped.
News of the pope's death spread rap
idly throughout Rom and caused the
most profound sensation. The whole
city is in mourning.
Crowds at Vatican.
A large crowd is gathered about the
vatican, but perfect order prevails
there and elsewhere in Rome. The
pope's death agony was short n ter
minated by a parOXysm Of choking.
After a short interval Cardinal Sera-
nno Van Nuetilli intoned the requiem
amidst the weeping of those present.
Then all kissed Pope Leo's hand be-
lore leaving the chamber. The off,
cfal Identification of the pontiff's body
will occur tomorrow morning in the
presence of the members of the sa-

Monsignor Volpini. Monsignor Cas-
