Injured in Runaway.

Miss Bessie Zepp, daughter of How
ard Zepp, a prominent Woolery's dis
trict farmer, was dreadfully injured
in a runaway accident Sunday.
With her father and sister she
was returning from the Providence
Methodist Protestant Church, near
Gambler. Carroll Slasman, her broth
er-in-law, with his wife and baby, was
following to pay visit at the Zepp
house. He was driving two-horse
buggy, when the horses became un-
manageable and ran away down steep
hill. Mr.. Zepp and his daughters had
reached the bottom of the hill and
saw the runaways approaching. He
and one daughter jumped from the
runabout, but Bessie was unable to do
so and the horses sprang upon her,
crushing her down. Then the horse
in the runabout ran away and the
two teams, in a confused mass, plung-
ed forward, dragging the young wo-
man probably quarter of a mile.
When at last freed she was uncon-
scious. The extent of her injuries
has not yet been fully ascertained,
but it is feared they will prove fatal
When the teams collided Mr.. Slas-
man and his wife and baby were
thrown from 1.-The buggy, but only
slightly injured. The runaway horses
finally swerved from the road and
tumtled in heap into deep branch

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
Another suggestion as TO the Great
National Boulevard.

In furtherance of the suggestion
for the establishment Of a national
avenue from the city of Washington
to other famous city OF the dead at
Gettysburg. and to commemorate the
first and only time in the history of
the nation that its President ever ac-
lively assumed the duties of command
er-in-chief of the United States forces,
Louis P. Shoemaker of Washington
advocates the establishment of the
proposed national avenue and suggests
that it start at Fort Stevens (the lat
ter was the scene of the first and only
battle of the civil war fought within
wood avenue to the District line,
thence west with the District line to
18th stretet, and thence, with a pro-
longation of 10th street, to Gettys-
burg.
"The object of starting this avenue
at Fort Stevens, at which place there
should be a national park of at least
several acres,"- Mr.. Shoemaker says,
"is to commemorate the fact that there
in July, 1864, when Gen. Early, COM
manding the southern army, attacked
the federal forces, President Lincoln
himself actually assumed the active
duties of ommander-in-chief of the
United States forces. 1t will not only
commemorate the first and only actual
service that any OF our Presidents,
during their term of office, ever rend-
cred in the field in time of war, but
it will also commemorate the
first and only battle of the civil war
ever fought in the District of Co
lumbia.
LET us have eventually along this
national highway" he continued, "a
statue of every President, and, if pos
sible, of every Vice President of the
United States, thus affording an il
lustration of our art and an evidence
of our patriotism"

FOR TEMPERANCE.
November % is Worlds Temperance
Day i'm SUNDAY Schools.

Every school in the county should
make special preparation to make it
a red letter day. Delegate E. X. War
rem, at the Louisville convention, said
the temperance tide seems to have its
origin among the Sunday school for
ceS. Marion Lawrence emphasized
that part which the Sunday school
had done in awakening the people to
their large endeavors along the line
of public prohibition and personal alb
sstinence. Other speakers repeated
this thought so persistently that it
was impossible to escape the conclu-
sion that the matter which at present
seemed of pre-eminent Importance is
the continuation of the present temp
erance reform.
Let every school in the county fall
in line. Let us grasp our opportun-
ity. There is no greater obstacle in
the way of our christian religion and
society than the use and sale of al
coholic beverages in our state and
county. Why not use every means to
make September 27 memorable day?
In the coming years some of our boys
may be lost to the church, to God,
and society, should we waste our op-
portunity.

Hanover-Reisterstown Trolley.

From time to time this paper has
had something to say regarding the
proposed Electric Line between Han
over, Pa, and Reisterstown, Nd, and
that there has been dearth of news
of late regarding this matter, has
been due to the fact that these plans
miscarried
Upon unquestionable authority, we
are now glad to announce that this
road will be built, and in very short
time, the initial steps having been
taken to that end.
On Thursday of last week, DR.. J. H.
Sherman, Messrs. J. E. Masenheimer,
and Jacob A. Frederick, of Manches-
ter, accompanied by Mr.. Jacob N. De-
hoff, of Greenmount, went to Hanover,
Pa, in Dr. Sherman's automobile, and
by appointment met the principal pro-
moters of the proposed road, who are
as follows: Captain Lands, and
Messrs. Day and Kershaw, of Phila-
delphia; Judge Steward, and MeSsrs.
Loucks and Coler, York; Messrs. Harry
and George Gitt, and Messrs. Shep-
herd and Myers, of Hanover. 1t was
emphatically decided at this meeting
to build the road. In the near future
citizens living in Carroll and Balti-
more counties who are interested in
the project, will be asked to attend
a public meeting to properly organize
the Company, when steps will be in
stituted toward securing the right of
way in these counties.
1t is understood that the Philadel-
phia parties will finance the building
of the road, and as they have almost
unlimited capital to back them in
this enterprise, there will be no ques-
ton of their being able to secure the
right of way through the various
towns, which is all that will be asked

Mrs. Virginia Poole, wife of VIM.

M, of congestion of the lungs. She
had been extremely ill and great
sufferer for about a week before she

one can who possesses the lovely
christian character that she had. She
had been married less than one year.
Before her marriage she was a nurse
at the Robert Garrett Hospital, of
which she was a graduate with high
honors. The writer has known her
for a number of years, and has looked
upon her as one of noble christian
character, which should be the great
est consolation to her surviving
friends, those that are christians con-
soling their aching hearts and warn
ing to those that are not to make
ready at once, for they know not when
