BAGLEY, July 22-MiSs Elsie Bagley,
assisted by an older sister, most delight
fully entertained few of her little friends
last week with a "Miniature Seaside
Sojourn" at Timber Hall, the farm owned
by her grandfather, Mr.. Otick Bagley,
during his lifetime, but now in the posses
sion of her father, DR.. Charles Bagley.
The Little Gunpowder divides this farm
from Baltimore county as it winds
through pleasant grove; and here,
where the water was in perfect trim, she
led her little friends and soon they were
enjoying the pleasures fthe water-bath-
ing, swimming, etc.-with enthusiasm
unparalleled by that shown by those
sojourners at any of our modern ocean
resorts. Reluctantly leaving these
pleasures they returned to the shore,
and beneath the branches of the trees.
and famed by the cool breeze, they soon
had transferred from a basket to tempo
rary table delicious repast which they
heartily enjoyed.

his speed and came to standstill to
watch this machine cutting, tying and
dropping the sheaves of wheat, thus
doing a great amount of work much MOI e

than of old The workman observed the
autoist and paused to watch him as he
manipulated his machine so as to rapid

But short time had elapsed, but as the

ConOwinpo Bridge.

DARLINGTON, July %, 1907.
The people of Hartford appreciating the
inconvenience and financial loss in being
cut off from the railroad by the burning
of the bridge at Conowinge June 5, have
taken steps to impress upon the stock
holders of the company, the necessity of
rebuilding the bridge without unneces-
sary delay.
Pursuant to a call sent out by Mr.. c.
A. Andrew, about fifty representative
men of Hartford met at Glencoe. Satur-
day, the Goth. A permanent organiza-
tion was formed with DIR. Ephraim Hop
kins as chairman; and A. F. Galbreath,
secretary.
Mr.. Andrew read paper, showing the
business interests affected by the loss of
the bridge, besides the great incon-
venience to the travelling public. In his
own business during the last year he
hauled from Conowingo 1000 tons of
coal, 500 tons Of fertilizer, tons of salt,
no tons of canned goods, besides thous-
ands of feet of lumber and about 10000
bushels of grain. The three flint mills ship
400 tons each year, all of which had to
be hauled across the bridge. The six can
neries in this part OF the county which
pack about 62 ,000cases of tomatoes and
corn will he compelled to go out of bust
ness unless the bridge is rebuilt 1,700
head of COWS and horses were taken from
| Hartford to Lancaster and Chester coun-
ties last year where the farmers find a
good market for surplus stock. Over
GOO tons of store goods are annually
brought into Hartford from Conowingo
| With these great industries at stake
the DeODie are anxious TO know what is
going to be done bv the company. A
committee was appointed to meet the
stockholders at their meeting at Como.

two weeks annual field work on Satur
day evening last after spending the last
week at the rifle range at Glenburnie
near Baltimore. Each company took
about forty men.
The first week was n new experience
for our State militia At the invitation
of our general government, battalion
consisting of four companies of State
militia was incorporated into the United
States regulars at Fort Howard, making
a regular battalion of artillery reserves.
| The State militia consisted of Company
A, under Captain Markicy, of Frederick
Company B, under Captain Fisher, OF
| Hagerstown; Company ID, under Captain
McComas, of Bel Air; and Company II,
under Capain Wagler, of Westminster.
Their reception by the regulars was
cordial beyond criticism, (Which is not
! with the heavy artillery and the mortars
was equally novel and valuable. During
the sham battle, which occurred on the
thirteenth, Major NJ. A. Reckord was fire
c1mmaIder alternating with Captain
Chase, as senior officer The battle last
ell twent -four hours, the commanders
alternating with each other every two
hours. The last attack occurred about
midnight, and lasted about four and a
half hours. The scene during this period.
when the air was made lurid by the glare
OF the powder, and the powerful search
lights swept the Bay for miles around,
making objects more distinctly visible
than in daylight, is described as having
been thrilling in the extreme, with all OF
the realities Of war, except its fatal
casualties.
The skill and accuracy displayed in the
firing of Z inch guns is fepnrted as
having been extraordinary;outof12 shots
fired at target set up seven miles away
eleven would have struck vessel direct
and the twelfth would have struck it on
ricochet. The ballrequired from twelve
to fourteen seconds to travel this dis
tance and it would reach the vicinity of
the target about the samc time that the
sound of the explosion did,
When these balls struck the water, they
would sometimes ricochet (rebound) for
a distance of two miles, and as they
whirled through this space their scream
was terrifying in the extreme. During
one days practice the calculations were
made and the firing done by the State
militia unaided and they made ten per
cent of actual hits. The regulars could
not commend them too highly for their
skill. la mortar practice guns are fired
from pits, the ball going high into the air
and dropping on the hull of the vessel
In this case also the firing was excellent
though it is necessarily much more diff
cult in this manner to hit an object. AS
an evidence of their cordial treatment
the regulars strongly urged the volunteers
to become regularly enrolled with them
aud engage in annual practice so that in
the event of war they would be imme-
diately pressed into active service in the
regular artillery; but whether or not this
proposition will be accepted is left for
future determination. Certain it is that
the boys returned with much widencd
experience in the art of war, and were
profoundly impressed with the hospita-
lnr1f ba
regular army.
