A Successful Affair

The dance and oyster roast given
at Boucher's Grove across the Spa last
night by State Capital Lodge, No. %,
independent Order of Mechanics, was
a decided success in every particular.
The night was an ideal one for dan
cling, and it is estimated that nearly
400 people were on the grounds. The
committee in charge of the affair, of
which Mr.. H. S. Kenchington was
chairman, did all in their power to
make everyone enjoy themselves and
it is needless to say that they did so.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock it was an
nounced to the dancers that the roast
ed oysters were ready, and an inter-
mission of about a half hour was
given, when all enjoyed themselves at
the roast, which was free for all.
Mr.. William III. Freeman was in
charge of the dancing, which contin-
ned until 1I.30 O'Clock. Music was
furnished by Prof. Schreyer's or.
chestra.

Injured His Hand.

Mr.. Weems Duvall, of the Third dis
trict, met with a painful accident
this morning while coming across the
Seven river in the scow, now used foI
ferrying purposes. Mr.. Duvall was
loading, his wagon on the scow,
which is too small for the purpose of
ferry boat, and had his hand caught
in a jam by the wagon pole, which
tore the flesh from the second finger
of his right hand, exposing the bone.
The injury was very painful and Mr..
Duvall Immediately rode back home
and to the Office of DR.. Zach Ridout,
who dressed the injured member.
Later Mr.. Duvall came to town to
transact his business. Great complaint
is being made about the size of the
small scow used to ferry the residents
of North Severn across the river.

WHAT OCTOBER WILL GIVE
Forecast By Rev. Irl Hicks For The
Tenth Month Storm Con-
ditions. Etc.

The storm period in progress at the
close Of September will be felt the
first two DAYS of October in the cas-
tern parts of the country while the
high barometer and change to the fair
and cooler weather will have advance
eastward beyond the central valley OF
the Mississippi.

falling barometer and more falling
weather. All these October disturb
ances will wind mp with rising baron
eter, change of winds TO Northwestern
lv and much cooler weather. The
first regular storm period proper for
October is central on the 18th, and ex-
tends from the Sth TO tho 18th. Ii is
possible also that delayed equinoctural
storms NAV reach the southern coasts
at this period. Within forty sight
hours of noon ON the Sth, seismic dis
turbances in many parts of the earth
need not cause surprise.
The next storm period will be cen
trail on the 10th and 18th. The Mer-
curry brace shows that Mercury equi-
noctial disturbance is central on the
18th, reaching from the 18th TO the
close Of October. This fact will tend
TO a prolonged spell of unsettled, dis
turbed weather. During the regular
Vulcan period, central on the 22d, the
already unsettled elements Will return
to very decided storm conditions.
From about the 2lst to the oath gem

be expected. The eliminating crisis
of this period will fall on and touching
Monday, the oath. The last period of
disturbance in October. blending with
Mercury equinox, is central on the
27th and 2Sth.
At this time look for a reaction to

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Issued BY The Department of Ag-
riculture For Past
Week.

The prominent feature of the week S
weather was the severe cold wave
which dominated conditions from the
2lst 70 the oath and brought excep-
tionally low temperatures for the sea-
son ON the 22d and 23rd. The week
was marked by strong ranges in tenn
perature and very little rainfall gen
orally The first two days were
warm; a decided drop in temperature
occurred on the 2Ist to 7.degrees below
normal, andson the 22d the mean tenn
perature at Baltimore was is degrees
below normal, the maximum being
only 81 degrees
1t warmed up rapidly again at the
end of the week. reaching degrees
above normal on the 25th. Heavy to
killing frost was general over the
northern and western portions Of the
Section on the 22d and 23d. and light
frost over the southern counties.
Freezing temperatures occurred in
North-central Maryland. and readings
as low as % degrees were reported IN
Garrett and Washington counties.
Only once previously, since 1871, has
such low temperature been recorded
so early in the month. reading OF 40
degrees having occurred on Septem-
Der 10th, 1878. The mercury has
dropped lower but once in that time,
and that was on the last day OF the
month in 1888, when it reached min
imum of 80 degrees.
Much late sugar corn was caught in
northern districts. and some tobacco
in Anne Arundel and Prince George
counties. But the chief source of loss
will probably be tomatoes, sweet po-
tatoes and lima beans In Anne Arun-
del and Prince George counties very
little wheat has been sown and over
the southern part of the Eastern
Shore blowing is not all done, this
work having been prevented by the
dry weather earlier in the season.

inability to pay their bill, when he
gives them the option OF. leaving the

as the most intensely homely young
creature in the kingdom. Her musical

boniface, her uncle, provided the lat
ter shall secure her some brave man
as a husband, who shall doubly display
courage by an act of heroism and mar
riage TO the girl The young Ameri-
cans consent, of course, and one of
them, TO fulfill the double considera-
tion, is TO wed the niece in a den of
lions on big fete day. Then the Eng
lish Daisy, a London beauty, appears
on the scene. and every one makes

St. Michaels and All Angels.

Today was observed in the rituals
tic church as ST. Michael's and All
Angels Day. There was Holy Com
munion at ST. Anne's Church at a.
m and evening prayer at O'Clock.
In the Scriptures it is related St
Michael was an arch-angel who pre-
sided over the Jewish nation as other
arch angels did over the Gentle
world. and that he had an army of
angels under his command with whom
he fought with the dragon ON Satan
and his angels. White contending with
the devil he disputed about the body
of Moses and it is generally supposed
that the fight of st. Michael and his
angels mentioned in the Revelation
denotes some eminent victory of the
Christian church.
