Drowned In Mill Pond.

Robert G. Lake, the 1-year. old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Washington
Lake, of the Second district, was
drowned in Back Creek mill dam
on Wednesday evening oflast week,
and his body was found Thursday
afternoon at 5 o'clock. After sup
per, while his parents were away
from home, the little fellow got in
a boat and went out on the pond to
fish, and is supposed to have lost
his balance and fallen into the
water. When Mr.. and Mrs. Lake
returned they could not find their
son, and upon making search dis
covered the boat adrift on the pond
with the boys hat and fishing line
lying on the seat. At once it was
supposed that he was drowned, and
an effort was made to locate the
body. Thursday morning the
waste-gates were raised and after
running about two thirds of the
water out of the pond the body was
found in what is known as the
cove. Coroner Frazer, of Elkton
deemed an inquest unnecessary.

long Row In Paper Boat.

Capt. George W. johnson, a
member of.the Nonpareil Rowing
Club, of New York city, who left
st. Augustine, Fla, May 6 in a
paper boat came up the Chesapeake
Bay and passed through the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal yester-
day. Capt. Johnson, who is Sc
years of age, has rowed all the way
from his starting point, making 10
stops thus far in his journey. He
is several days behind his schedule,
due to rough weather.
The craft in which he is making
the journey has lines similar to
those of single racing shell.
There are 80 thicknesses of paper
on the boat and 365 newspapers
from all sections of the country
were used in the work. They
were pasted together, one on top of
the other and over all was placed
heavy coating of shellac, which
renders the surface smooth and
waterproof. The boat is fitted with
compartments and is prac.
tically unsinkable.

aberdeen Men Run Italian Out OF


Sam Cincotta, an italian fruit
dealer of Aberdeen, Hartford
county, was driven out OF the town
Thursday night of last week, be-
cause of shocking misconduct.
He had been arrested week ago
for insulting Mrs. Harry Bowen, of
the vicinity, and had paid fine
for his behavior. This did not
seem to be sufficient punishment
for him, and Thursday afternoon
he locked the young daughter of
William 3. Holloway in his banana
room when she went to his store
from school at noon, and kept her
there until, through exhaustion
from crying and fear, the child
promised to meet him in the grove
near Aberdeen High School at
o'clock that afternoon.
Upon being released from the
room the girl went back to school
in a hysterical condition and con-
fided the affair to a school friend,
who informed her teacher, and the
news then went to Miss Holloway's
parents.
Mr.. Holloway went to Aberdeen
and after comforting with the men
of the town the excitement became
so intense that Cincotta was threat
ened with lynching if he did not
get out of the town by midnight.
To avoid such extreme measures
Henry Tarring took Cincotta and
his wife and child to Havre de
Grace, where they took an express
to Baltimore. Cincotta did not
have time to settle his business
affairs.

notice that some of the bridges
were not strong enough to support

so using them did so at their own
risk.

All Quiet.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

A Ii quiet along the Potomac tonight
Save-Why this wild yell for the Sheriff?
A couple OF statesmen having fight
About the attack the tariff
Wild bowls rend the air, and an ear.spittDg cry,
Then the innocent bystanders scatter.
AS a thrty.two pellet sings sinister by
The head OF the rock ribbed standpatter
Then buecoat appears, and the Earring notes fail
AS two Congressman lodge for the night IN the jail
a Ii quiet along the Potomac more,
Save-What is that uproar proceeding
From yon Senate chamber? clerk has the floor
And the last special message he's reading
Get the hook cries Senator Knock of his block,
Throw all that fool tripe in the gutter"
And the clerk somewhat peevish colldes with rock
And is carried away a shutter.
But slowly and surely the turbulence wanes,
And quiet DER the Capitol reigns.
a LII quiet along the Potomac again.
Save-What is that voice rising higher,
Proclaiming in accents uncommonly plain
Thief! Murderer Reprobate Liar?"
The voice Is the Presidents-his is the speech
And adjectives-even the scon is his
While some malefactor hases forth out Of reach
OF the troublous Executive Offices
All quiet-so the old beautiful song
All quiet again-but, ah! never for long.
