When the automobile in which
four persons were riding turned
turtle on Sunday, Denton Petry, Of
Hanover, Pa, was pinned under the
machine sustaining a fracture Of two
ribs, deep cut requiring four
stitches to close, decorations on the
face and rupture of the blood vessels
of both eyes. Fortunately the other
three passengers escaped with only
a severe shaking up. Those in the
car were Mr.. Perry, Martin Bechtel,
Herbert BeachteI, or Pennville, Pa,
and Adam Croft, OF Silver Run. On
the return from Littlestown, while on
the pike, near Sells Station, Mr..
BeachteI wanted to try running the
car. The machine was stopped and
they changed seats. They had only
gone a short distance when the car
started to the side of the road. The
driver made a sudden turn of the
wheel to come back on the road,
which hurled it over, wrecking the
top and throwing the occupants to
the side OF the road.
With his strength failing rapidly
through fighting off an attack of gas
tritis, Francis Shipley, of Ruxton, Md,
submitted TO an operation for blood
TRANSMISSION Wednesday afternoon at
the Union Protestant Infirmary, Bal
timore. This step was taken by the
physicians having the patient in
charge for the purpose of increas-
ing the vitality of the ill mar, in an
effor to save his life. When the sur
geons informed his relatives that new
blood had to be transfused into his
veins many offered to undergo the
ordeal, but after short consultation
William Wilson, resident Of Sykes
vile, a relative of Mr.. Shipley was
accepted. Shortly before the opera
ton on Mr.. Shipley 1t was decided
that the age OF Mr.. Wilson would
make the recovery of both parties
less rapid than if the blood Of a
younger person were used. When this
fact was made known Mr.. Shipley's
wife offered her blood and after a
consultation between the physicians
and the sick man it was decided to
accept her. At late hour Wednes-
day night both husband and wife we're
reported to be improving.
The first excursion of the season

Queen City OF Maryland and Hancock.
one Of it, most picturesque towns.

Western Maryland Railway and will

able or the year. "a special train
composed OF first class coaches of the
Western Maryland Railways new
equipment, will be run on fast time
and ample time will be given in each
town to see and enjoy everything. In
both there are fine hotels which serve
excellent meals at moderate prices,
and ample accommodations for the
comfort and welfare of all. This ex-
cursion will give our residents an op-
portunity to visit their friends and
see the sights and spend a most en-
Joyable day. The trip will be one on
exceptional scenic splendor, crossing
the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains
and traversing the course of the
Potomac river, with its many pretty
scenes, also the old Chesapeake II
Ohio Canal, with its quaint craft
drawn by mules, which date back
long before the era of railroads.
These craft with the plodding mules
contrast strangely with the flying
