Sad Death In Terrific Storm

The terrific storm which swept along
the Atlantic Coast on Wednesday of this
week did considerable damage in this
county. The roads We're badly washed
and the covered bridge at Meredith s
corner over Big Elk creek, on the Elk
tom Newark road was blown from its
foundation into the river But all ma
terial damage pales in significance when
compared with the sorrowfu death of the
little 10-year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Buckworth, on the Elk Landing
farm. The little fellow, attired in gum
coat and gum boots, attempted to ride
his horse across the stream. 1t is sup
posed that the horse stumbled and fell
throwing the boy into the stream. He
could swim, but his heavy garments, to-
gether with the fierce rush of the waters,
doubtless prevented his saving himself.
The body of the little fellow was swept
out into the river and was found by
Charles Rambo on Thursday morning at
Box Springs.

To Extend Racing Season

The pickings have been so good at
Havre de Grace this year that the mana
gers of that track have fixed up a scheme
TO get 10 days more of racing. Under
the law racing in Hartford county is
limited to 50 days in any one year, and
one association may run races no more
than 80 days in any one year
But the bill establishing the Racing
Commss on and which made the Hayre
de Grace track possible contains some
queer clauses, and one is so framed
that it is lawful for one association to
have races for 81 days on one track. All
that is necessary to be done is to lease
or rent the track TO another organiza-
tion for an extra 80 days.
Now it is announced that the manage
ment OF the track has done this very
thing, and that under the charter of the
Hartford County Fair Association, which
owns a half-mile track at Belair, there
VIII be 10 days more OF racing at Havre
de Grace in November, after the close of
the Pimlico season, which follows Laurel.
This means that Maryland will this
year have nearly three months of con-
tinuous running races, or more race
track gambling than the State has known
since the Legislature drove the tracks
out of Cecil county nearly 90 years ago.

Changes AT Tome

Miss Jesse Campbell has been appoint
ed librarian for the coming year. She
succeeds Miss Eta L. Matthews, who has
resigned to accept similar position at
the Northwestern University.
Albert NJ. Peoples, a graduate this year
from the Tome School, has been appoint
ed assistant to the registrar for the COM
ing year.
Carl H. Smith has accepted the position
of director of physical training and coach
of athletics at the Tome School, to sue
ceed Charles W. Mayser.
The train service on the Port Deposit
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad is SO
inconvenient the Tome School has rear
ranged its whole schedule so as to ac-
commodate the local pupils. The Direc-
tor of the school, Dr.. Thomas s. Baker,
and the Trustees have used every means
in their power to induce the Railroad
Company to arrange their trains on the
Port Deposit branch so as to allow SUI
dents from the upper districts to arrive
at Port Deposit by the hour of a. m,
but without success.
The school has been undergoing extern
sive repairs and improvements for the
coming school year. The seventy rooms,
in Harrison House, the largest dormitory
on the Campus, are being thoroughly rem
ovated and the exterior woodwork is be-
ing newly painted. This dormitory, which
has been occupied by Fourth and Fifth
Form boys in the past, will be occupied
by Third and Fourth Form students The
macadam roads, on the Campus, are be-
ing put in good condition. and the grounds
are receiving the best of care.

Court Term Closes

The September term of the Circuit
Court closed last Friday. The trial Of
State VS.. Hynson Anderson, colored, for
assault, with intent to kill, upon David
Anderson, also colored, in Paradise Alley,
Elkton, on the evening of September 4,
occupied all the morning and part of
the afternoon. The defendant, better
known as 'Blinkey'' and David, the main
States witness, quarrelled on the street,
and shortly afterwards David went gun
ming for "Blinkey', firing several shots
at him at and near Providence Hall.
''Blinkey" fed and got his gun" out Of
''hock" and reappeared in Paradise AL
ley, vowing he would kill David. They
met and "Blinkey' put David on the run
with several shots fired in pursuit Of
HIM Both were arrested, and "Blinkey"
was indicted for deadly assault His
counsel j.. Wilson Squier, pleaded self
defense in his behalf, but the jury
promptly found him guilty

| ceny, and out on bail, failed to appear.
A bench warrant was issued for him,
and the case was continued.
Hester Hess, counsel for Camille Fus-
| CO, indicted as lena Louiana, convicted
on Thursday of burglary, moved for
new trial on the grounds that the ver-
| dict was contrary to the law and the
evidence and of newly discovered evil
dence supporting his offered plea of in
| sanity. The States Attorney held that
the verdict could not be questioned, as
juries in Maryland in criminal cases
| were judges of law and fact.
/
considered the case in all its phases. The
State was not bound to offer proof of the
prisoners sanity. The jury had a right
to find the verdict they had given and
| were not subject to censure. The Court,
| however, was not satisfied as to the
prisoners sanity. The motion would not
be. granted and the prisoner would be
committed to the Penitentiary. the Court
| advising the Board Of Managers of the
prison to have his sanity determined be-
! fore a commission after his delivery
there. If found insane, he could be
placed where he would receive the
| treatment required. His term was fixed
at five years, which, II found sane, the
Court said, would be sufficient punish
ment for his crime.
new trial was refused to Robert E.
| Heimiller, found guilty of bastardy, and
he was sentenced to give the required
bond or spend a year in jail
Otis Hammond, colored, was given
year in the House of Correction for as
sault and battery.
Harry Wilson, colored, found guilty of
manslaughter, was given two years in
the Penitentiary.
