A Narrow Escape.
Engine Nearly Crosses High
Bridge On Ties.

Another miraculous escape from seri-
GUS disaster to men and rolling stock of
the Western Maryland railroad occurred
last Sunday. Two engines We're coming
east, No. 1O4 having No. 735 attached to
it, the latter running backward. At
whatever rate of speed they were ruu-
ming matters not, but, when approaching
the high iron bridge, the driving wheels
of engine 735 mounted the rail and the
engine dropped to the ties.
Before stop could be made engine
1O4 had taken the 1875 eight rail lengths
on the bridge over the ties. The crew
on 735 were scared very badly, there be-
ing no place to jump except to the bot
tom of the ravine 70 or 80 feet below
them, or the place all would have landed
had the engine toppled over.
The engine was put on the rail and la
ter taken to Keymar where she went off
the rail second time. She was again
righted and proceeded west to Highfield.
at which place she got off again and did
considerable damage.
The engine is now in the repair shop
at Hagerstown, the flanges on her driv-
ers being worn very much. No one was
hurt in this series or get-offs.

Ado|phus Fearhake Dead.
Deputy In Court Clerks Office
Was About to Take S.15
Car For Frederick.

While on his way from his cottage to
the S.l5 car on Braddock Heights Tues
day morning, Mr.. Adolphus Fearhake,
the well-known deputy in the office of
the Clerk of the Court, was suddenly
seized with heart attack, fell over near
the station and expired in less than five
minutes, in the presence of group of
fellow colonists who were also about to
leave for Frederick. Mr.. Fearhake walk
I'd alone from his summer home, and
when he had nearly reached the station
his knees seemed to give way and he fell
to the ground, losing consciousness and
dying without uttering a word.
What makes his death all the more
sorrowful is the fact that Mrs. Fearhake
has been lying at the point of death for
some days. 1t is very likely that the re-
allzation of his wife's condition contrib
utedn large measure to Mr.. Fearhake's
sudden demise.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence on T.. Patrick street, in
Frederick, at 3.45 this afternoon. Col
umbia Lodge of Masons will have charge
of the services and there will be an escort
from Jacques de Molay Commandery,
Knight Templar. Interment will be in
Mt. Olivet cemetery.

day of this week at the instance of State S
Attorney Sam'l A. Lewis. The gypsies
were in the mountains near Deerfield

trary to the laws of Frederick county.

then asked the palmist if he had license.

Lewis went to Frederick and sent Depu-
ty Deeter and Constrble Hauver to ar
rest the gypsies. They were taken to
Frederick, found guilty, but were not
compelled to pay fine. They were
given their liberty by paying $50 costs in
the case and promising to leave the coun-

killing his cousin, Lee Wastler, almost
instantly.

Wastler and Harris went out in the
woods to look for game, Leroy remaining
at the rock and climbing to the top of it.
After going some distance, Lee sighted

lock and found him dead.
1t is reported that Lee deliberately

Avoid SelatiYe COUGH Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis and
pneumonia use cough medicines that con-
tain iodine, morphine, heroin and other
sedatives when you have cough or cold.
An expectorant like Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is what is needed. That cleans
out the culture beds or breeding places
for the germs of pneumonia and other
germ diseases. That is why pneumonia
never results from cold when Cham
berlains Cough Remedy is used. 1t has
world wide reputation for its cures. 1t
contains no morphine or other sedative.
