Horace Marvin Found Dead.

The body of little Horace Marvin. of Dover,
Del. was found dead on Saturday last on his
fathers farm and returned to his parents, on
the beautiful childs fourth birthday, and just
two months to the very hour from the time he
disappeared
The medical men selected to make the
autopsy found that the boy had been drowned;
that his body was in a remarkable state OF
presentations; that his death was not due to
violence other than poison or sutfocation; that
his stomach was entirely empty, and that star
walton might have been the cause.
There was pathetic scene when Under.
taker Pritchett, in the presence OF the coron-
er's Jury, cut from the body the clothing.
Three little undressed dolls, each four inches
long, were taken from the pocket OF his Bus
ter Brown suit and laid on the operating table.
His little purse was opened, and four bright
pennies rolled out on the table. A dainty
little pocket handkerchief was removed from
his blouse pocket.
There was another touching incident at the
farmhouse, when. after the autopsy the body
was surrender to the undertaken and DIR. Mar
vim. 1t was laid out in white metallic casket
and removed to the parlor. There Mrs. Myles
Standish, his aunt, and Mrs. Swift, the grand
mother, had prepared wreaths of apple bios

To Issue 100000 Worth of Bonds.

A deed of trust from the Washington, Fred,
erick and Gettysburg Railway Company TO
the Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company,
to secure an issue of $500, 900 worth of bonds,
was filed for record in the office of the Fred.
erick Circuit Court on Monday. The deed
covers all of the property and franchises OF
the company, but at present only $3.50, oOO OF
the bonds will be issued, to complete the troll
ley line, now in course of construction to
Thurmont, a distance of about II miles. The
residue will be reserved for the extension OF
the line to Emmtsburg, on the Pennsylvania
line.
Secretary c. C. Waters, of the railway com
pany, stated that, while the bonds would be
offered first to the stockholders and afterwards
to the local public, arrangements had been
made for the placing of the entire issue, or
all not purchased here.
In connection with the arrangement for this
bond issue, the fact developed that the rail
way company will have working agreement
with the Western Maryland Railroad for the
interchange of business, both freight and pas
senger, at Thurmont. The trolley line will
be standard gauge road, built for hauling
regulation steam cars, and loaded cars, it is
said, will be transferred from the Western
Maryland Railroad and hauled direct to Fred
erick. This will enable the Western Mary
land to compete with the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads for the hauling
of coal to the Frederick market, and is ex
pected to be of advantage to Frederick.
