SHOOTING
THAT MAY PROVE FATAL

Last Saturday Cora TulI, the year.
old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Tull, living near "A School House, In
Milford Neck, was accidentally shot by
james Wilson, the ~ yearOld son OF
Mrs Edward Carpenter, who resides on
an adjoining farm.
During the latter part OF the morning
little Cora Tull, in com pany with James
Wilson and Uriah Hudson, a colOred
boy Of about l2 years, were all playing
at the home Of Hudson's father, Will
liam Hudson, and during the time
young Hudson suggested that they go
up stairs and look at his fathers revOl-
yer, which they at once proceeded to
do. As soon as the revolver was found,
young Wilson began playing with 1t
and pointing il at his playmates, think
ing that the weapon was not loaded,
whereupOn, unexpectedly the revolver
went of, the bullet hitting little Cora
in the left ear, glaneing and running
down the neck.
Dr. j. u. Dawson was at once sent
for to render surgical and medical aid
and at this time the child is in a pre-
carious condition and will most prob
ably die.
The case was at once reported to JUS
tice Of the Peace Gardner w. Joseph by
George Bennett, the grand
father Of young Wilson, and upon the
statement Of Mr.. Bennett, ana the in
gained from others, no legal
steps Of any kind have been taken, as
the affair seems to have been purely
accidental.
This is only one case Of many but
It does seem that this accident alone
.hOuld be sufficient to warn the parents
II children OF the danger OF keeping
oaded firearms lying csrelessly around
he house where children can easily
nave access to them.

Two handsome pleasure launches
owned by George Williams Of Mills
bOrO and Woodburn Martin OF George
town with both boat houses were burn
ed to the waters edge Tuesday evening
at a probable loss Of over $4,000 which
there was no insurance. Martins boat

Indian River while both his boat aud
Williams boat were considered among
the finest on the river. The boat be-
longing to Williams was formerly
owned by Lave Cross the baseball
player. A hot muller IN Williams
boat is supposed to have caused the fire
which started in his boat house and
then caught on Martins. People were
afraid to enter the boat houses on ac.
count OF the quantity Of gasoline stored
there and both boats burned to the
waters edge and sunk The gasoline
tanks on both blew up but caused no
extra damage.

Evening attractions at the Teachers
Institute.

1t would be very difficult to secure
three better entertainments than those
that will be given in Annoy Hall at
Milford, Delaware during the three
nights of the Sussex County Teachers
Institute. Several years ago. gentle
man Of some means and liberal inelina-
ton conceived the idea of educating a
double q1altette Of girls for high class
concert work With ample means and
not impatient of time, he selected from
the wide circle Of his acquaintance eight
girls Of superior character and musical
ability and furnished them means to
complete their literary and musical
education, guiding the latter in the
direction Of their contemplated work
This is something unique in the history
of company organization and gives the
Vassar Girls a distinction enjoyed by
no other. 1 consider myself aud all
others concerned quite fortunate in be
ing able to enjoy such an evening as
they will give US, without being obliged
to 90 to one Of the large cities. This is
their first year in Lyceum work, their
fret five years having been spent in
touring the 20 or 30 larger cities Of the
country All those who enjoy a musical
treat would do well to keep the Vassar
Girls in mind and not forget that they
have been booked for Monday night.
On Tuesday evening the Common
wealth Concert Company will give one
Of their delightful entertainments. So
far has this company departed from the
old quartet methods that it has earned
the reputation OF being 1.-THE quartet /
that not only sings we'll, but entertains

lot selections, solos, readings, and selec-
lions upon bamboo chimes, zolophOnes,
