Had Marrow Escape in Flood.-Mr. Ma
than Wollman, who keeps store at Beaver
Dam, 9Th district, had a narrow escape on
Wednesday evening while attempting to cross
a bridge on a county road near Cockeysville.
He saw that the bridge floor was covered with
water and he thought that by turning slightly
to one side he would be able to cross in safety.
He had not driven five feet when a current
struck him and carried man, buggy and horse
into the stream.
Realizing his perilous position he attempted
to loosen the horse from the buggy and mount
him. He succeeded in cutting one trace and
the horse, by repeated struggles, broke the
other. In an instant Mr.. Wollman was on the
back of the animal floating down the steam.
But suddenly he was thrown from the horse
by the strength of the current and floated rap
idly down the stream until he lodged on
barbed-wire fence.
Hearing the mans cries for assistance Charles
Hoffman, Carroll Caples, Frederick Eckhart
and Andrew Keough hurried to his rescue.
Mr.. Keough went into the water and threw
rope. Mr.. Wollman placed the rope ground
his neck, and it was with great difficulty on
the part of the rescuing party that hewas con-
WINGED that the rope should be tied about his
body. Finally he was pulled from his pre-
carious position. 1t was found that he was
seriously cut about the legs, arms and hands.
The horse escaped, butthe buggy wasErecked.

Germanx Mantn Penre.

Berlin, August 2S.--ChancelIor von Buelow's exclusive telegram to the As sociated Press from Nordenay, August 26, affirming that the German Emperor and the German government have nev- CT ceased to support peace whenever an opportunity offered. was reproduced in New York dispatches to Berlin pa- pers today. The occasion was taken to compare this news with the anonymous -utterances and assertions of the British and French press that Emperor Will jams had covertly persuaded Emperor Nicholas to- continue the war. This legend. as it Is called, propafated abroad, would deny to Emperor Will fam those higher motives of statesman ship shown by President Roosevelt. The newspapers aver that the general poli- tfcal and economic situation gives Ger many adequate and powerful reasons for desiring peace, such as the safety of German Investments in Russia and the necessity for Germany Industry to sell in the Russian market, with the stability of the German administration of Poland and also important monarch ical and dyastic reasons which them selves would be sufficient reasons for the German crown to aid in bringing about peace.

the only stumbling block in the way of peace.
 The Foreign once has said that ev- cry disputed point between Russia and Japan with the exception of the pay ment of indemnity had been practically arranged on a basis satisfactory to both sides but that Russia would never pay an indemnity. If the latest pro- posals of Japan mean that she valves all claims to indemnity of any kind or description. giving up all idea of reimbursement for the expenses of the war in any grise whatever and in place thereof is prepared to accept for the restoration to Russia of the northern half of Sakhaiin redemption price, to be fixed by the actual value of the island and not to take into account Japan's war expenses or to carry a con- cealed indemnity to Japan. there Is req son for the assertion that in all prob ability Japan's proposal was never un- derstood here in this way and for the deduction. according to the Russian of ficial statement that the stumbling block to peace can be removed and that there ought to be a new and prom ising basis for the continuance of the negotiations.
