Negroes Killed In Riot.

An early morning riot Sunday among
negroes at Friendship camp-meeting,
near Clayton, resulted in the deaths Of
/ George Jackson, of near Middletown,
who was shot through the heart, and
John Pierce. of Mount Pleasant, who
was shot through the back. William
Guy was also shot through the neck,
and bullet was removed from his back
by DIR. J. S. Cobb. II is believed Guys
wounds are serious.
According to Guy. the negroes were
shooting crap along the Delaware &
Chesapeake Railway, close to the camp
grounds. A dispute arose, and revolv-
ers were brought into play. Camp
meeting officials say that for time it
sounded like target practice.
Constable Boyer, Of Clayton, and De-
putty Coroner FAIRIES were summoned to
the camp grounds. Jackson's body was
removed to an undertaker's. where DIR.
Cobb, of Clayton, performed an autopsy.
which revealed bullet wound through
the heart. Pierce was taken to Clayton
and died in the evening, after DIR. Cobb
had removed bullet which had pene-
trated his liver.
John Knapper, of Portsmouth. Va.
and Arthur Adams, of Seaford, Del,
and two unknown negroes were locked
up to await trial for the shooting.
Two revolvers and razor were found
on knapper. Guy claims Knapper
shot him.

Locomotive RUNS AWAY
Locomotive Going AZ High Speed Near
Love Point Crashes Into Train-En-
gineer And Fireman Hurt.

As result of runaway engine
colliding with the late passenger train
on the Maryland and Virginia railroad
going to Love Point Monday night.
James Brown, the engineer, is at the
point of death, and Gus" Roe. fireman,
is seriously injured.
The accident happened just after train
No. had crossed the bridge at the
narrows, about o'clock. The runaway
engine had been lying in the yards at
Love Point all Sunday, and how ii was
started is mystery. When discovered
1t was rushing along at a mad rate
without crew. The intelligence Of its
coming was telephoned to Chester
Station TO the agent at that point, with
instructions To open the switch and side
track it. Ii was, however, too late. 1t
passed there at a speed of 40 miles an
hour. with train No. due in few
minutes. The fireman saw the run
away engine first and endeavored to
jump. but before he could do so the col
lsion was on. hurting him into the
marsh 60 feet away.

gers escaped injury, although some of
them were quite badly shaken up.
Engineer Brown is a resident of Queen
Anne's county. He was badly scalded.
as well as cut about the head and face.
so that but little hope is entertained Of
his recovery.
Train No. leaves Rehoboth about 5
O'Clock and does not make connection
with the Baltimore boat. Most of the
passengers were residents of the Island
returning from Wye Camp.
Wrecking crews worked all night at
the scene of the wreck and it was late
Tuesday morning before they succeeded
in clearing the track The engines are
a total wreck, being wedged tightly in
to one another The baggage car of
train No. 3 was also demolished and the
baggagemaster owes his life to the fact
that he was called into one of the rear
cars to make out his report few
minutes before the accident.

Origin OF Dog Days.

According to the generally accepted
doctrine. the dog days begin on July Sd
and end on August 18th, but there have
been disputes as to every possible point
about them. 1t was universally agreed
that they were connected with the dog
star, but which one? The real dog star,
Sirius or Procyon, the Little Dog?
Then there were disarrangements as to
the particular astronomical performance
of the star that fixed the dog days; as
to their number, which varied in differ
ent estimates between 80 and As: and
whether they were to be reckoned be-
fore. after, or around the stars perfor-
mances. The forty settled on precede
the rising of Sirius with the sun. A
belief grew up that in these days dogs
went mad. but terrestrial dogs have re-
ally nothing to do with it. The original
belief was that the star and sun to-
gether brought intense heat and all
sorts of plaques.

ed with the plotters who caused the
death of the Grand Duke Sergius.
From day to day since the raid on
the revolutionary headquarters the po-
lice have made arrests as rapidly as
the reports of the secret service agents
warranted, until it is known that some
800 prisoners have been taken. Every
possible secrecy has been maintained,
and not one word of official informa-
ton has escaped from the authorities.
1t is, however, known that many of the
prisoners are members of the Russian
nobility, and the positive documentary
evidence against several of them is be-
yond question. In the case Of Prince
Obolenski, the assassin of Grand Duke
ment and the pressure to know the
fullest details, the police have stead
tasty pretended that they have been
unable to identify their prisoner and
that his name and history are I'M
known. This policy is pursued out of
consideration for the other members
of the distinguished Obolenski family,
and also to conceal the truth of the
widespread generous growth of revo-
lutionary recruits in official and aristo-
cratic circles.
The terror of the czar as a result of
the disclosures as to the spread of nihi-
lism among the upper classes could
hardly be more clearly shown than in
his punishment of the official in his
own household whom Prince Obolenski
indicated as being implicated in ter
rorist plots. After the arrest of this
man the car personally examined the
evidence against him and ordered him
brought to his library. What took
place at this interview has not, of
course, been told, but it is known that
the emperor personally named the pun
ishment. Seeking to find something
measurably worse than death. the en-
peror directed an immOvable iron mask
to be riveted over his face. Chained
to a little window in the prison tower
overlooking the palace he was kept in
solitary confinement until he died, an
awful example to any other conspira-
tors who may be partaking of the
cars bread.

Introduction that Charles Dickens pro-
ceeded to reveal, in the Tale Of Two
Cities" the vital details of the awful
drama of the French revolution, pic
turing that character whom none can
put out of memory who has once read
the story-Madame Defarge, the female
creature who sat knitting, always and
persistently knitting, knitting into a
fiendish record, descriptions of those
selected to die on the gUillotine when
once the wheel of fortune should bring
the revolutionists in power.
There is knitting of this kind in Rus
STA to-day. Nor is it the coarse and
bungling work of the ~peasantry. If
Count TOlstoi has not been knitting,
certainly his finger of warning has
pointed in many directions. Ominous
records have been woven in the most
unsupported quarters. Because the con-
demned are not marched in physical
lire to the g~uillotine. shall it De said
their fate is the less methOdically
planned. There are those who are
content to protest, and Tolstoi is one
OF these. But also there are those who
count. and those who kill. The reign
OF terror is not less at hand because
the Russian bomb displaces the French
g%uillotine. The insecurity is not less
general than in those tranquil days
which ushered in the French evolution.
