words to express myself in favor of
the proposition.
"The interurban as proposed could
not help adding thirty-three and one
third per cent to the value Of the farm
lands close to the right of way. In
the roads in Ohio, and other places
where have seen them, stoppages are
made at every point along the line
desired by the passengers. This means
immediate and efFectual communica,
ton with the markets for the farmers.
It means that in spite OF bad roads the
farmer will be able to get his produce
to market at the time when It is most
valuable. 1t means better price for
farm products. 1t means a saving of
time and saving of the team. With
a freight and passenger service the
farmer is doubly benefited.
"The interurban will have direct
benefit upon the price Of real estate in
the city also. 1t gives better facilities
or business in the town. It win attract
people to the city in that way.
THE sentiment expressed by the
business men of Oskaloosa has my
heartiest support, for an interurban
viii give us better chance to build
up our town"

st. Louis Suffers Most Severe
Weather Ever Recorded.

St. Louis, Feb. 15.-Oficial records
the indisputable proof of the United
States weather bureau, show that this
has been the coolest winter, to date
that st. Louis has ever known; that
the mean normal for this February
is % degrees lower than that of any
previous year; that the present rec,
ord of continuous ice and snow is the
longest; that the temperature of Is
degrees below zero recorded yester,
day morning is the lowest ever
known for February and, with two ex-
ceptions, in 1864 and 1884, the lowest
temperature that st. Louis has ever
experienced.
In this vicinity twenty lives have
been lost and thousands of heads of
cattle on southern ranges have per-
ished with the cold. Every mode of
traffic in the affected district is prac,
tically at standstill; especially is
this true of the railway service
Throughout Missouri and from 9th
er points in the peach-growing dis,
trict have emanated reports which
seem to assure practically a total loss
of the crop. Other fruit has been
greatly injured.
The zero line extended into Arkan-
sas and northern Texas.

Missouri and the blizzard, reaches the

RACE RIOT AT GREENWOOD.
Enraged Populace Drives Negroes From
The Town. Great Excitement Pre-
vailed For Hours.

Probably the worst race riot between
whites and blacks that ever occurred in
Sussex county happened at Greenwood
Friday night, in which two hundred
whites and half as many negroes par
ticipated. The trouble started about
eleven o'clock, when three negroes beat
into insensibility half-witted white
man, who was slightly intoxicated, and
got into an alteration with the negroes.
They took advantage of him, and he
now lies in critical condition.
The news soon spread among the
whites and a general fight ensued. Two
hundred white men organized, and with
clubs, pistols and guns, began to rid the
town of the negroes. Every negro,
whether woman or man, found was run
out of the town, and several pitched bat
ties took place.
A dozen negroes, who were caught
one at time near town, were beaten in
to insensibility by the angry mob and
left to die in the fields. The whole town
was aroused, and the fighting continued
until early Saturday morning.
Not until every negro had fled the
town was quiet restored, and it came
near being resumed Saturday, when a
number of negroes went to the differ
ent doctors Office to have their wounds
attended to, but cooler heads prevented
further trouble.

NOW LET'S PLAY BALL.
Pocomoke City And Snow Hill Clubs
Start The Ball In Snow Hill Next
Tuesday.

Preparations are being made to han
die and take care of the large crowd
that is expected to come to Snow Hill
on the Fourth of July to witness the
opening of the baseball season at Wash
ington Street Park, between Snow Hill
and Pocomoke City. Besides the two
games of ball-one in the morning. and
one in the afternoon the managers of
the baseball team, assisted by the ladies
of the town, will hold an ice cream and
cake festival in front of the Court
House in the afternoon and evening.
Manager Williams and five of his
players arrived in Snow Hill Tuesday
night and the remainder of the Snow
Hill baseball contingent arrived Thurs
day. The players and their respective
positions are as follows: Wescott.
Schaefer, Williams, pitchers; Borroughs,
LIST base; Whitelock, End base; Heck
man, Bird base; Cater, hort stop;
Black, left field; Ritter and Kite.
catchers.
From what we can learn the merits of
the individual players of the Snow Hill
and Pocomoke City clubs, the two
teams are about evenly matched, and
two good games are confidently looked
forward to on the glorious Fourth.
An opportunity to judge of the line
up of the local team will be given this
friday afternoon, when the Indians"
of Berlin, will play game with the
Snow Hill club at Washington Street
Park. This game will be regarded by
the two contesting teams as preliminary
practice for the hard contests on the
Fourth, when Snow Hill will have
Pocomoke City as competitors on its
home grounds, and the Berlin boys will
journey to Salisbury to wage friendly
battle with their ancient foes. In the
Berlin game Friday, Wescott and Will
Jams will do the twirling, and Ritter
will be at the receiving end.
For the morning game on the Fourth
of July, the battery for Snow Hill will
be Schaefer and Kite, while Wescott
and Ritter will be on the rubber in the
afternoon game. Pocomoke City has
three excellent pitchers Smith, Web
ster and Baker on its staff. and two
seasoned catchers Marine and Bassett.
Manager Burroughs of the Pocomoke
City team has gotten together live.
hustling team. and they will give Snow
Hill stiff fight on the opening day.
The grounds at Washington Street
Park are in fine condition, the diamond
being as hard and smooth as a plank
floor.

WOUNDED BY PISTOL BALL.
Two White Men Fired Upon From Am
bush While Riding Home Late Satur-
day Night

day Night
(CorresApndence of the MEssENGER)
I SHOWELL, Md, June %. Herman
'Campbehand James Williams, of Camp
belltoWn, attended festival at Shovel
astfSaturdAy night, and while returning
home on horseback were fired upon by
someone hidden i'm the bushes along the
roadside, the bullet taking effect in Mr.
Campbell's right side The bullet enter
ed the right arm near the shoulder,
making an ugly wound, and up to the
present time the doctors have been I'M
able to locate it; but, should blood
poison not develop, no serious results
are anticipated. However, it was close
call, as the bullet was in direct line for
the heart, and had it happened that the
young man had turned to the right at
the moment of the shooting, it would no
doubt have resulted fatally.
The shooting took place about IL
o'clock, at point where the woods are
very thick, near Curtis Chapel, a negro
church near Campbelltown. There had
been picnic at Curtis Chapel just be-
fore the shooting occurred, and as soon
as the bullets were fired the assailants
were heard to run pell-mell through the
bushes in which they had been conceal
ed.
AS neither Mr. Campbell nor Mr..
Williams We're ever known to have an
enemy, it is presumed that the motive
prompting the attempted crime was no
other than pure meanneSS, inspired and
fed by a liberal application of bad
whiskey, which some of the young color
ed bucks attending the colored picnic
seemed to have taken.
There should certainly be some action
taken to appprehend and punish the
perpetrators of this crime The young
colored sports are in the habit of load
ing up on cheap whiskey, and after ex-
amining their hardware" to see if
everything is in good working order,
they start out to hunt trouble, or make
trouble, and generally succeed in both.
Should our County Sheriff, with about
twenty deputies, make raid on the
crowd at one of the big meetings some
Sunday, and make a search for con-
cealed weapons, it is almost certain
they could get one-horse load of
pistols, black jacks, razors, and brass
knuckles.
We certainly hope that something will
be done to break up this condition of
affairs, and that right soon, for it is not
safe for anyone to be out late at night
in a vicinity where there is big gather
ing of colored people like that held at
Curtis Chapel last Saturday night.
