Himself In Jersey. Other Items.

After our outing of last week, which
necessitated the commission of our usual
note to the Chronicle, we are again at our
usual routine of daily life-and right side
up with care. Our jaunt with the boys
to Trenton, n. j., where we were so
magnifciently entertained BY the Demo-
cratic nominee for president, was mem
orable and most delightful one. Most
particularly to our boy, and why the pa
pers should so elaborately comment upon
the incident of our boy kissing Mr. Viii
son we cannot comprehend. How could
a sensible child hesitate to press the
symptoms of love and admiration upon
the cheek of such a noble, attractive and
msguifying gentleman. And why should
such a gentleman for a moment hesitate
10 reciprocate the feeling with such a
bright, animated and lofty spirited youth?
Yes, the feeling of sympathy seemed to
be mutual and natural, and it was heartily
enjoyed by all present, and so elevating
and inspiring to the boy, and an event
such as impressed him with the noble,
serious knowledge of the honor that was
50 generously conferred upon him from
such lofty and grand source. And for
this honor heis indebted to his namesake,
the Hon. Willard salisbury.
A terrible accident occurred at our sta
hon last Saturday that was distressing
and pitiable to the many spectators and
sympathizers. While William Conway,
4 former Georgetown man, IS years of
age, who was recently married and was
making his home in Baltimore, was try
ing to reach his old home to see his sick
and aged mother, met his tragic death.
AS his train on the Queen Anne road
pulled in, the train on the Pennsylvania |
road was pulling out Thinking that this |
was the last train he sprang to catch it. /
As lie struck the steps of the rapidly |
moving car, his foot slipped and the car
struck his shoulder, knocking his head |
70 the ties, where he lay unconscious.
He was removed to the station where Dr.,
Samson and others gave him the best of
care. His brother, Arlie Conway, of
Georgetown, was notified by phone of
the accident and came Immediately in an
automobile, having covered the miles
in Il minutes. The unconscious man
was taken to Georgetown, but died before
he reached there. The mother and wife
are almost overcome with grief because
of the accident.
We are glad to report the condition of

many friends, is much improved. Her
son, Wilbur, is at her bedside.
Our youngsters seem to revel in their
social gayety and the pretty girls vie with
each other in their elaborate entertain
nents. The affair at Col Duffy's mag
nihCent home was a brilliant one. The
lawn was decorated with bright lights and
filed with seventy-6ve bright faces eager
for the entertainment that was hard to
Surlnss. Col Duffy has been to a city
hospital for an operation, from which he
Is rapidly recovering. Not particle less
