Matching Wild Ducks.

While hunting down the bay few
weeks ago, Mr.. Charles Tilghman found
a wild ducks nest, being attracted to
its place of concealment by the actions
of the motherhood which had just flown
off. The nest contained eleven eggs,
and as they were warm, Mr.. Tilghman
concluded to bring them home with him.
Wrapping the eggs in his sweater, and
placing them in his cap, Mr.. Tilghman
managed to keep them warm until he
reached home. Arriving here, he set
them under hen. In just weeks
time the eggs Matched, and Mr.. Thigh
man is now the proud possessor of ten
ducklings. They are of the black Brant
species, and Mr.. Tilghman hopes to
domesticate them. A great many visit
ors call daily at Mr.. Tilghman's house
to see the young ducks.

Fire Sunday morning caused about
$25, 600 loss in the business section of
Laurel, and caused many persons to
leave their homes. Miss Annie Thorn
ington was rescued as the window cur
tains in her bedroom burned. Fifteen
buildings were destroyed. An incendi-
airy is blamed.
Help from Salisbury and Wilmington
was asked. A fire company from the
former city reached Laurel in an hour
on a special train. and helped confne
the flames to one block. The local fire.
men responded promptly, but soon saw
the flames were beyond them.
Miss Caroline White, daughter OF
the superintendent of the Marvil Pack
age Company, the heaviest loser, proved
herself heroine when the fire was dis
covered. She jumped from her window,
ran to the company's signal tower,
climbed the pole and rang the fire bell.
Soon the whistles of all the factories in
town were blowing and everyone turned
out. Many residents, fearing a conha-
grafton, carried their effects outdoors.
Several lost their gardens, as the heat
was intense, and sparks were carried in
all directions.
The flames began in the plant of the
Newton Ward Manufacturing Company.
branch of the Marvil Package Com
pany, which has plants in Sharptown.
Chestertown and Pocomoke City, Md.
The Waterman had made his rounds at 3
O'Clock, and soon after glares in the
windows aroused Miss White.
The Salisbury firemen's arrival saved
the town. They kept the fire in the
block in which Il started. Rough esti-
mates put the loss over SIS, 900, with
less than half that amount Of insurance.
The principal losers are the Marvil Pack.

Death Of Mrs. M. N. Station.

Mrs. Margaretta NJ Station died at
her home in Snow Hill Monday morning
about six o'clock. Mrs. Station had been
i'll several weeks, but her condition was
not considered alarming until few days
before her death. During her illness
she had the constant care and attention
of her devoted family, and everything
that medical aid, assisted by loving and
kind hands. could do, was done to pro-
long her life and to alleviate her suffer-
ings. The end came without a struggle,
and very quietly and peacefully she
passed into the Great Beyond.
Mrs. Station was the daughter of the
late DIR. John X. Pitts. who, in his day
was one of the most prominent and in
iluential citizens of Berlin. Her mother
was a sister of the late John NJ. Taylor,
and by their union the two families were
closely related to many Of the old aris-
tocratic families of the upper part Of
the county. The deceased was born in
Berlin sixty.seyen years ago. Her hus-
band was the late John w. Station. who
was clerk Of the circuit court at the time
of his death, twenty-five years ago.

Annie NJ. Station and Mrs. Benton II.
WhaIey, of Snow Hill, and Mrs. MILFORD
Lawshe, of Trenton. New Jersey. and
by one son, John w. Station, Esq, Of
Snow Hill. prominent member of the
Worcester County bar.
Mrs. Station was extremely domestic
in her tastes, and her gentle and easy
manner lent a singular charm to her
home. An ardent worshipper of the
beautiful in nature, she was passionate
ly fond of flowers, and she surrounded
herself with the good old-fashioned
flowers of her childhood. Culture and
refinement with her were synonymous
with life, and her eager mind was quick
TO grasp the truths of the great masters
Of thought. She was also kind and
loving mother, and devoted to her chill
dren and home.
Mrs. Station was one of the most prom
inent members of the Old School Baptist
Church in Maryland. and was well known
by members of that denomination
throughout Maryland and Delaware.
Funeral services were held at the
house at eleven o'clock, Wednesday
morning, conducted by Elder Durand,
of the Old School Baptist Church, as
sisteo by Elder Poulson, also of the same
denomination. and Rev. j. B. North Of
the Presbyterian Church, of Snow Hill.
The services were very simple and i'm
pressve, the few words that were spoken
the fervent prayer that was offered.
and the hymn that was sung, being a
source of great help and comfort to the
bereayed family and friends.
The pall-bearers were, DIR. Paul Jones.
Messrs. William j. Pitts, j. Edward
White, William C. Powell, Franklin
Upshur and C. v. White, of Snow Hill.
and Calvin B. Taylor, Esq, and DIR.
John w. Pitts. of Berlin.
The remains were carried to Berlin on
the noon train. and inferred beside the
remains of her husband in Evergreen
Cemetery. where the last sad rites were
performed, the services at the grave
being conducted by Elder Durand.
A large number of friends from Snow
Hill accompanied the funeral party to
Berlin, showing by this act the love and
esteem in which their departed friend
was so universally held in this COM
munity.
