Elkton. during the recent Thanksgiving period.
Every of Mrs. Tulls living children and
grandchildren were present. accompanied by
the husband of her daughter and the wives
of her sons.
As most of our readers know, Mrs. Tull is
tine daughter &C the late Francis A. Ellis,
whose memory a most estimable and up
right Christian gentleman, still survives in
this community, and was a sister of the late
DR.. Charles M. Ellis. the recollection of whom
still continues in the aifectionate regard of
many friends.
Family reunions like this one, serve an ad-
mirable purpose. They preserve the old family
ties, keep alive the affections of the family,
withdraw and women, for a time, at
least. from the sordid things of life and help
to perpetuate and uphold one of the most
valuable institutions of society
Those who attended this reunion, besides
Mrs Tull were Mr.. and Mrs Richard Reese,
Miss Elizabeth Reese and Master Richard
Reese, Jr., of Wilmington, Del. Mr.. and Mrs
Charles n. Tul, of New York City Mr. and
Mrs. Rudolph Tull, Miss Elizabeth Ellis Tull

City.

To Curb The Races

Race track owners are, it is said,
not exactly pleased with the looks of
the election returns. Talk already is
to the effect that an anti-race track
bill will be offered in the coming Leg
islature. and that this will be met by
a bill for State regulation.
1t is said by Democrats that the
election returns prove conclusively
that the race tracks hurt them. The
presence of race tracks is blamed for
the defeat of two of the Democratic
canqidates for the House in Hartford
county.
In baltimore county Senator Ben
sons supposed friend mess for the
racl1. interests in the last Legislature
is suspected of having cost him SC me
votes.
In Anne Arundel county, where the
powers-that-be have apparently stood
with the race track interests, the
Democrats came near losing the coun-
ty. Harrington and the candidate for
the State Senate winning by little
more than a nose. There is a race
track in Anne Arundel. the so-called
Laurel track. The president of the
company owning this track is Richard
johnson, brother-in-law of State
Senator Arthur p. German. Mr.. John
son was elected to the Senate from
Howard county by the smallest vote
such candidate has received in that
county for many years. Last autumn
he ran for Congress. and was defeated
and at that time it was admitted that
his race track connection lost him
many votes.
There is a race track in Prince
I'eorge's county, built since the last
Legislature adjourned 1t got there
through some almost Invisible loop
hole in the law-one of those OPENINGS
that only an astute lawyer could find.
The Democrats somehow seem to get
the criticism for it. That question
may have had little to do with the
election. but the county went Republi-
can in laet weeks election

at the la"t session, when the contest
was hv no means lacking in spectacu-
lar features.-Balto. News.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, a lid blew off of one of the diges-
ters at Radnor Pulp Mill, Elkton, re-
sulting in the death of two we'll known
men of Elkton-Edward w. Morgan,
aged Sc, and Frank Vandegrift. aged
Al years. Other workmen in the mill
heard a call for help and upon inves-
tigation the body of Vandegrift was
found in the mill yard by Jacob Bid
die. 1t is thought he was blown
through the window and caught hold
of the outside, but later fell to the
ground. The fall caused his instant
death, but had he not fallen his burns
were of such a serious nature that he
could not have lived for many min
utes. Mr.. Morgan was fatally scald-
ed about the limbs and face. having
crawed through the scalding pulp,
that flooded the room. to the exit,
where he was given assistance. as no
one was able to enter the room which
was filled with the scalding steam. He
was hurried to Union Hospital and
lived until about ten-thirtv o'clock
Thursday morning. This terrible cal
amitv has put d cloud over our town
and community and the bereaved
widows and children have our sincere
sympathy. Both men were of good
character and were excellent hus-
bands and well liked by their fellow
workmen. as we'll as by all who We're
acquainted with them.
