Miss Annie Simpson, of Dayton, Howard
county, and Mr.. George G. carp of Rock
vile, were married at noon, on Wednesday
OF last week, at the brides home, by Rev.
c. E. Dryden, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. The bride was attended by
her cousin, Miss Ethel Frazier, of Ellicott
CITY, as maid of honor. The brides brother,
Mr.. Lester Simpson, was the best man. The
bride was attired in light blue messaline
satin, Her going-away suit was of blue
broadcloth with hat and gloves to match.

On Friday afternoon, February II, Mr..
Claude W, Owen, of Gaithersbure and
Washington city. delivered an address to
the students of the Rockville High School
upon the Origin and History of the Com
mon Law. The subject, although tech
nical one, was ably handled and presented
to the students in such a way that it was
both attractive and instructive. Mr.. Owen
took his audience back to the time when
the Jutes inhabited Sleswick and showed
how their customs formed the basis for the
great mass of law which is now called the
common law of England He showed also
that not only did their customs form the
common law but also many of the words
and names that are now in use in the
English language. This lecture was the
fourth in series of talks that have been
arranged by the management of the high
school upon topics of interest and instruc-
ton. On Friday, February "a, Mr.. William
Terrell. of Kensington, will address the
school upon the Handling of Real Estate"

Explosion Of A B. s. o. Boiler.

On Monday morning last the boiler o.
freight engine No. 2349 exploded on thu
Metropolitan Branch of the B. & o. Rail
road, between Randolph and Halpine Sta.
tons. At the time of the explosion the
engine was pulling a large number Of
empty cars up grade, which were to be
taken to Brunswick. A shortage of wateI
in the boiler is said to have been the cause
of the explosion.
Three men of the crew-Samuel A. Mar.
key, brakeman; H. G. Jacobs, engineer
and 7. j. Welsh, fireman-were injured by
the explosion. The latter two were not
seriously hurt. All of them were taken to
Providence Hospital, at Washington city
for further treatment after Drs. Linthicum
and Henderson, of this town, had dressed
their wounds. Jacobs and Welsh were
later taken to their homes in Baltimore,
which is also the home of Markey, who is
still in the hospital, and the authorities
there have no hope for his recovery, so
critical is his condition. He received scalds
and burns on the head, hands and body
and several broken ribs. one of which
pierced his left lung He was hurled 800
feet from the tracks.
Fireman Welsh gives a graphic account
of the disaster. He said:
1T was fortunate for me that was not
in the cab. had stepped out into the
tender to pull some coal down preparatory
to firing, when heard whistling noise.
Then there was loud crash, followed by
the cries of the crew. Iron flew in all d.
rections, and the escaping steam and rush
of the hot water made deafening noise
was thrown out on the side of the tracks
and escaped with few injuries. If had
been in the cab doubt if would now be
here to tell the story. for my side of the
engine was most injured"
The boiler was blown from the truck and
landed crosswise of the tracks, which i'm
peded travel on the road for several hours.
There was no damage to the tracks or cars.
and the wheels Of the engine. tender and
train were not derailed.
Smaller parts of the locomotive we're car
ried more than so feet from the tracks.
AS the steam and hot water were released
the report was heard for miles around and
many farmers in the vicinity fastened to
the scene to give what aid they could.
The Baltimore officials who visited the
scene report that they attribute the cause
due to water being allowed to get low in
the boiler. They found that the crown
sheet had been burned blue. indicating

LOcusts Due To Arrive Some Time
Next Summer.

Boys who have heard Of seventeen
year-locusts" all their lives will have a
chance to see some of the genuine ones
this summer. This insect is one of the
most remarkable in the world. 1t actually
does take seventeen years to develop, and
the recurrence of the brood at intervals of
seventeen years has been traced back to
1924 in Connecticut, and to IT'S in New
Jersey. 1t is much like the ordinary locust,
except that it is red where the common
locust is green.
The temperance of the brood at sew
enteen-year intervals has been traced more
recently in other localities, and its range
is now pretty well defined as covering
eastern New York, part Of New England
Carolina.
1t may not be generally appreciated by
the public but there are two distinct types
of these long-maturing lOcusts, a thirteen
year and seventeen-year variety. This
year the thirteen-year southern brood will
overlap the regular eastern seventeen-yeaI
brood. These apparently irregular appear
ances have tended to throw discredit on
the regularity of the appearance of the
different brOods, but it can be said on the
authority of the Department of Aericul-
ture that they are absolutely so reliable
that the calendar can be regulated by them.
The appearance of the locusts in great
numbers usually causes some uneasiness
among the public as to possible damage
to shade trees and orchards, but as a mat
ter of fact the damage they do is slight
and in the case of young orchards can
almost entirely be obviated by trimming
back the trees that have been attacked.

In Memoriam

In sad but loving remembrance Of m
daughter, Annie Briggs Small. who departed
this life one year ago, February 10. 1910.
Gone but not forgotten.
One long year has passed
Since God reclaimed His own,
Took back from earth His precious gift
And left US here alone.
LIES storms will soon be ended
And the evening bells will toll.
And our hearts will know no sorrow
When the pearly gates unfold.
There well meet again our loved one,
Who has journeyed just before,
There well walk and talk together
On that bright celestial shore.
By her mother.
