Captains Henry Ruark and Henry

They caught total during the week of

the blue fish were sold for $4,000 per

has been the best this year that has been
known for a number of years, and the

There is great deal of complaint
upon the part of the patrons of the ID.
M.& v. Railroad because no Pullman car
is run on this line. 1t is long trip from
Franklin City, to Philadelphia and per-
sons often go to Pocomoke City and take
the train from that town just because
they can get seats in a Pullman. There
is no evident good reason why the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company should not
place Pullman on this line on the after
noon train up and the afternoon train
down. We think it will prove paying
move and as the Pennsylvania has the
reputation of catering to the wants and
needs of the people along its lines we
hope to see this service inaugurated in
short while.
"A gentleman of this town caught 65
catfish in about two minutes on the Po-
comoke River last Wednesday afternoon.
He was going down the Pocomoke in a
motor boat, when he noticed barrel
floating down with the tide. 1t was
submerged to the edge, and as he passed
it by he saw that something alive was
inside. He turned his boat back, caught
hold of the chimes of the barrel and
emptied as much of the water out as he
could. The remainder was fairly alive
with catfish weighing from six or eight
ounces to a pound and a half. Two
Bohemian boys came alongside in a
boat and the gentleman turned his catch
over to them. They emptied the barrel
into their boat and counted IS catfish.
The catties were attracted into the bar
rel because it contained number of
spoiled salt behring's.

Fire At Ocean City.

Fire, caused by the explosion Of an
oil lamp at the Ocean City waterworks
Saturday night, partially destroyed
the building and seriously damaged the
gasoline and steam pumping plants. A
building belonging to Joseph Schaefer,
adjoining the pumping station was also
destroyed.
Several buildings, including the Sea
Side Hotel, Glendale Hotel and the rail-
road station, were on fire, but with the
water supply from the city tank and
the work of bucket brigade the flames
were extinguished with little damage.
The city will probably be without
water for a few days while one of the
pumps is being repaired.
1t looked for a while as if the entire
south end of the city would be destroyed,
and it was only through the hard work
of the volunteer fire department, the
bucket brigade and the Ocean City life
saving crew, headed by Capt. John B.
Jones. that the city was saved. Every
one fought the fire, women and children
joining the men in carrying buckets Of
water.

A Great Event.

Last Sunday the Christian Church
here observed what was called De-
claration Day. 1t was observed by the
churches of this denomination all over
the land, celebrating the one hundredth
anniversary of the Declaration and
Address" made by leaders in the re-
ligious movement for the uniting of all
Christian people on the principles laid
down in the New Testament. In the
morning Mr.. Hopkins preached on the
topic, Where the Scriptures Speak. "
showing some of the principal points
for which the people in this movement
have stood during the past, and noting
the great increase in numbers. The
movement has grown until the last
statistical report showed 1885, 0S6 en-
rolled.
The churches of this denomination
have been conducting a centennial cam
paign with various special aims. One
is daily worship in every home. Others
are all the church and as many more
in the Bible School; every church well
housed every church debt paid 200,-
900 trained workers thousand re-
cruits for the ministry and SO, 200 at
Pittsburgh in 1909. at the Centennial
Convention, which meets October ll-19
to hear reports of results attained, to
celebrate the anniversary and to plan
for future work. Some forty schools
and other organizations of activity will
be represented. Their reports show
perhaps the most wonderful growth in
a century of any religious body since
the apostolic church. Mr.. Hopkins is
on the program to lead the song service
at one of the sessions. and hopes to at.
tend the convention.

COL. RICHARDSON
BUILDS A TOWN
A Former Worcester COuniiar
Has Made His Mark In
The State Of Texas.

It is always the pleasure of the MES
sENGER to note the success of former
Worcester Countians as we'll as those
who remain at home. Thirty odd years
ago poor boy left Snow Hill for the
Southland to carve out his fortune.
Asher Richardson was that young man.
He landed in Texas, became COW boy,
but like most Marylanders was not con-
tent to remain IN an humble position.
He was Industrious, faithful to duty,
energetic and optimistic. In few
years he was the owner Of large ranch;
in few more, a number of ranches, and
his cattle roamed for miles and miles
over the plains of Texas. He had herds
of horses, great fiocks of sheep. and his
landed possessions were so broad that it
would require days to drive around a
single tract. Mr.. Richardson was not
content to follow the methods of his
neighbors but branched out in many di-
rections. He drilled wells for his stock,
thus providing pure. flowing artesian
water. He raised fruits and farm pro-
ducts and has made fortune.
The last and most important enter
prise of Mr.. Richardson is the building
of town in Texas on the site of one Of
his ranches, which has been named Ash
erton, and although not yet year old
it has 800 inhabitants, with prospects
that before the firstssof next January
the population of Asherton will be from
800 to 1900. II is one hundred miles
southwest of SanAntonio and is consider
ed the great wonder town of the South
west. Carpenters, bricklayers and ma
sons are working like beavers houses
are springing up like magic. 1t is the
building up of a great country through
the efforts of one man and that man is
Asher Richardson.
AS the site on which Asherton is be-
| ing built was remote from transporta-
ton, Mr.. Richardson constructed a 49,
mile railroad and paid for it himself.
He is president of the road, Mrs. Rich
ardson is vice-president and Asher Rich
ardson Smith, formerly of this town. is
one of the directors. His title is now
Colonel Asher Richardson and he is build
ing q $50, 600 home in Asherton. He also
has handsome home in San Antonio
and splendid residences on several of his
ranches. Il is claimed that Asherton
will be city of from $500 to 8. 900 with
in eighteen months.
Col. Richardson is frequent visitor
to Snow Hill where hiss mother, Mrs.
Harriet Richardson, resides.
The MESSENGER has received this
week copy of the Asherton News, a
bright newspaper which has just COM
menced publication at Asherton. The
editor says that the publication of this
paper is made possible by the magma
nimity Of Col. Richardson, who has fur
nished the entire plant and put up a build
ing for its occupancy.

The Snow Hill Races.

Because of the bad weather on Mon
day the people who usually attend the
horse races here were under the impress
sion that the Snow Hill track would be
in such bad condition Tuesday that
the racing would not be very at
tractive, and as a consequence the at
tendance was not nearly as large as was
hoped for. The track was in excellent
condition and the racing was good. The
judges were Messrs. L. 7. Hearne,
Montgomery Stage and William Hudson.
No entries were made in the 2.30
class advertised.

three to start, as follows: Hastings
Easter Prince" Ernest Parsons
Little Dick" and James B. Robins
+" Strawberry" Prince was first in all
three heats, with mark of 2:394. Little
Dick was second, and Strawberry was
third in each heat.
In the 2:40 class there were four en-
tries and four to start. as follows:
Sewell Richardson's Richard Prince, :"
S. Hastings Sidney Collins" Willis
Wimbrow's baby Lou" and Alexan-
der Pusey's Winnie, Jr.," Prince won
the race in three straight heats. Time
