A most distressing accident occurred
last Sunday evening, between 5 and 8
O'Clock, in the family of DR.. and Mrs.
S. V. Fiery, The two daughters of
Mrs. Rachael Otty, who has been for
sometime the housekeeper in the Fiery
family, Mrs. Fiery being too delicate
to manage the house hold, came up on
the excursion from Washington where
they were employed, to visit their
IN other.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fiery went out driv-
ing, and their young son Ben, about IA
years old. while lying on the bed in a
back room playing with a est rifle,
sister of the unfortunate young lady
and girl friend who had come up
with them, being in the room. Ben
asked the sister, Miss Ella Otty, if she
did not want to go down i'll the yard
and see him shoot, but before she had
time to reply, the gun went off and the
III went through the open door and
struck Miss Otty, who was sitting in
the front window, in the left temple,
lodging in the brain and causing al
most instant death. Coroner COlston
was Immediately summoned, who af-
ter taking the statement of the sister
who was an eye witness to the dread
full occurrence, concluded that it was en-.
tirely accidental, and decided that it
was not necessary to hold an inquest.
Undertoker Wilen was notified to
come and take charge of the body, and
the remains were taken to the residence
of Mr.. George Callahan, an uncle of
the young lady, on South Maple ave.
TO be prepared for burial. Miss Otty
was % years old, and splendid spec
linen of young womanhood both in
character and physique.
The funeral will take place this af
terpoon an o'clock, from the Epsco-
pal church, of which the deceased was
a member. The services will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. J. S. Douglas, rec
tor of the church and the interment
will be in the Fiery lot, in Green Hill
Cemetery.
Little Ben the unintentional prepe-
traitor of the distressing accident is al
most crazed with grief and self cen
demnation. DR.. and Mrs. Fiery are
also greatly distressed, as they enter;
tanned the greatest respect and esteem
for Mrs. Otty who is most excellent
lady. The greatest sympathy is felt
for concerned, and the unfortunate
occurrence has cast deep gloom over
the community.

himself very severe wrench. He suf
fered considerable pain, and after he
got home high fever set in, which
continued up to almost the time of his
death. Physicians making an eXamin-
ntion found that enlargement of the
liver had resulted from the accident.
His condition continued to grow
worse until Tuesday evening, when
thCr. seemed to be a marked improve
meut. AS late as this morning his fam
ily regarded his condition as favorable
but about noon he was seized with
faintng spells and grew rapidly worse
His wife andl he children who were al
home were at his deathbed.

S w. Raxner Keeps His Head.

Senator Isador Rayner, of Maryland
who keeps his head, while some South
ern Senators are getting on the house
tops and in Republican papsrs to shout
aloud Democratic differences, gives an
Illustration that is u rebuke to any who
wish to run campaign.
In an interview in the Baltimore
Sun, in which he gives reasons why he
does not favor government ownership,
MIR. Rayner spoke a parable and point
ed a moral.
The trouble with the 1904 campaign
was that the men who did most to
shape the policy were imbued with the
notion that the Democratic party
could win by attacking the President
and his policy without presenting Il
clear-cut and definite policy chat gave
the people assurance of real reforms.
Mr.. Rayner tells his experience III try
ing to reach rhe voters in such cam
paign and be says he prefers man
wrong-meaning that man who holds
what he considers to be a wrong view
upon some question-than one who is
afraid to buffet the waves
There are some people who assumeto
lead who are still actuated by a desire
to be simply making for the shore,
who would rather see another rudder-
less campaign with a candidate whe can
arouse no enthusiasm than 10 follow 4
man with all of whose views they are
not in harmony. 70 such men Mr., Ray
ner's rebuke comes at the proper time

this time, has remained firm and even in
better condition than at the opening of
the season. The pack, however, will not
reach the average. The few frosts have
as vet not hurt the vines.

DELAY IS COSTLY.

At an early hour on Monday morning,
a fire broke out in the building of the Bel
Air High School, and for while the
whole structure seemed to be doomed.
The origin was from a defective flue and
resulted from fire that had been built
by the janitor Owing to the hour there
was great difficulty in spreading the
alarm, the fire bell on the court house
attention to the memory of the admins
tration of Board which is daily jeopar.
dizing the interests of the town by not
having the proper repairs promptly
made. Fortunately the hose carriages
were brought to the scene and streams
turned on the building. The fire had
gotten in the partition wall and was put
out with difficulty. There is no doubt
but what the entire building would have
gone but for the timely arrival of the fire
apparatus.
AS this structure cost the taxpayers Of
Hartford county $4,000 and could not
be replaced today for SIS, 900, it seems
that general sentiment should be aroused
if our local officials do not have the fire
apparatus put in working order as
agreed. There is too much friction be
tween the county and town officials any
way. Each seems to be arrayed against
the other where there should be unison o
action. A great deal of the county's pro
perty is located in Bel Air and there is {
common interest in trying to protect the
same. A $4,000 loss to the Taxpayers
on Monday would have made big in
