STRAY TOTS
Six Little Fresh Air Children Sent
To The Wrong Station.
CAME TO RISING SUN TUESDAY

= A party of six little girls, rang
| ing from six to nine years, arrived
at Rising Sun station from Balti-
more, on the 4:45 train on Tuesday
in charge of a young woman, who
stated they had been sent by the
Fresh Air Society of that city for a
two-weeks' stay with Mr.. Shippers.
She did not know Mr.. Simpers'
initials nor where he lived, but
supposed he would be at the sta
tion to meet them. After waiting
for some time number of the
townspeople interested themselves
and through the kindness of j. E.
Brumfeld, the station agent, and
IS. j. Morrison, who lives at the
station, accommodations were pro.
vided for the little tots for the
night.
AS there is no family of Shippers
living in or near Rising Sun it took
some time to straighten out the
tangle. The following morning it
was learned that W. F. Shippers,
living near Bay View, was the
party who had arranged to receive
the children and distribute them
among the members of the M. P.
church at Bay View, and had gone
to Leslie and North East stations to
meet them. Word was sent him
Wednesday morning and the six
little Jewesses, with their chaperon,
were conveyed thither. The mis-
take had occurred through lack of
explicit directions, Mr.. Simpers'
postofice address being Rising Sun,
R. F. D. No. 1, while his nearest
railroad station is Leslie.

"Jim Crow" Law Suit.

Willis King, cOlored, has brought
suit against the p, B. & W.
railroad, for $1,000 damages fol
alleged ejectment from a train
operated by the company. The
suit, which will be tried at the
next term of court, will determine
whether the "Jim Grow" ACT
passed by the Maryland Legisla.
ture will hold under the law.
King in his bill of claim says
that he bought ticket for BALTIC.
on July 1. He took a train the
same day and rode unmolsted as
far as Wilmington. Here the con-
ductor informed him that he was
about to pass the Maryland line
and would have to move into the
car reserved exclusively for colored
passengers. King, indignant, re-
fused to move.
'The car upon which the plain
tiff was a passenger" continues the
statement of claim filed in the case
by Kings counsel, "was going
direct to Baltimore and the white
passengers in the car were not
molested. Therefore, the plaintiff
refused to go into the "Jim Grow
car" At the next station, known
as the North East station, Mary
land, the conductor took hold OF
the plaintiff and violently elected
him from the car. BY reason
of this the plaintiff suffered great
pain of body and anguish of mind
and was compelled to leave the
train before he reached his des,
tination."

Want The WooIsey Road.

The Commissioners of Hartford
county have been presented with a
numerously signed petition of tax
payers residing along the Level
route, asking that the pike from
Churchville to Havre de Grace be
constructed over that route. The
petition pledges $500 and in ad-
dition the farmers residing along
the route agree to furnish all the
stone required for piking the road
free of cost. The amount of cash
pledged, together with material
promised, is a big item and will
doubtless lead the Hartford commits
sioners to select what is known as
the Level route for the proposed
road.

New Camps Opened which WIN Produce

The greatest mining activity In the

During the past season a number OF

next season, and the best authorities

one OF the districts IN which great
activity Is expected Is Warrior. The
