"A long ticket for Tuesdays election
made counting exceedingly slow. The
returns from the first precinct were re-
ceived from ChurchviIle shortly before II
O'Clock Other small precincts soon fol
lowed. These indicated the general re-
suit, and while the exact returns were not
obtained until Wednesday morning, the
general result was well-known before 2
O'Clock Tuesday night.

81 told you So" The average Demo-
cratic voter is just now being pestered by
the few knowitalls, who claim to have |
the gift of second sight; however after
the event has transpired. 1t is easy for
any one to know. now that the election |
is over, but we do not believe that there
is single human being living, who
possesses the gift of prophecy with suf-
fcient accuracy to have foretold the ex-
act results of TUESDAYS election.
Mr.. S. A. Williams acted as one of the
challengers at the election on Tuesday.
His duties, however, were not OF an
arduous nature. consisting only of
making list of the voters, which was
afterwards gone over, so that the abb
sentees could be sent for. Inthe morning
several negroes were forced to give up
booths on account of the time limit.
The rush was soon over, however, and
voting the rest of the day was done in a
desultory manner.
The election passed off quietly in
Hartford. A large vote was polled, as
is shown elsewhere by the official returns.
There were no reports OF disorder and
the balloting was conductedin manner
satisfactory to both parties. The ticket
measured over forty inches in length.
The voters, as a rule. experienced but
little trouble in marking it. This county /
always has had reputation of fair
elections and honest count, and Tuesday
adds another record to this chapter.

different varieties from Mr.. Bakers own

The Baltimore County Union says
that farmers are in straits to procure
hands to husk and harvest their corn be-
fore the. bad weather sets in. In TIE
meantime, able bodied young negroes go
prowling over the fields and woods with |
guns on their shoulders in quest of rab- !
bits and birds. Hartford is in the same |
fix, but those who opposed tie Suffrage
Amendment should not complain, as
this is one of the fancied rights of citizen
ship that is fast making the negro a |
worthless and useless member of. our
community. /
Captain ]. S. Burke, one of the first
railroad conductors of the old Maryland |
Central, now the Maryland and Pennsyl- |
yania railroad, was killed in the freight |
ward of the Virginia and South Western |
railway at Intermont, Virginia, on Fri |
day. He was caught by a car while
doing some switching work, and was |
mashed to the ground, crushing both of
his lower limbs Both legs were shortly |
after amputated, but the injured man

patrons of our railroad shortly after it
was established.
Mrs. Rebecca Gillispie Peel, nee Giles
pie. of West Nottingham, Cecil county,
who, Immediately after her marriage,
| about three months ago, went as a mis-
sionary to China, was recently slain, to-
| gether with four companions, by an en-
ragged mob Her chief, DR. Machlem, who
is at the head of the American hospital in
Langchow. protested against the estab
lishment of Chinese theatre immediately
adjoining the hospital, whereupon the
Infatuated mob followed the seven mis-
sionaries to a cave where they had taken
refuge land slew all except DIR. Machlem
and one companion. The true incentive
for the outrage was another link in the
chain of Chinese boycott because of our
exclusion policy, and will be promptly
and thoroughly investigated by our De
partment of State.
