WITHDRAW.
Llnthicum and Furst Out OF the
Race.

Two names have been eliminated from
the list Of Democratic gubernational possi-
biities Congressman ]. Charles Linthi-
cum announced his retirement from the
field in speech delivered at RossviIIe,
Baltimore county, and Frank A. Furst
issued statement. in which he made
clear why he could not accede to the
wishes of friends who had urged him to
enter the field.
The declination of these gentlemen
leaves the two candidates who remain in
the race clear field AS it looks now
Emerson c Harrington, of Dorchester. or
Blair Lee. OF Montgomery. will be the
Democratic candidate. unless at the last
moment compromise should be effected
by the bringing out of third man, ac-
ceptable to both sides. but of such a
happening there is not. at this time, any
probability.
Mayor Preston, having espoused Lees
cause, will stand by him to the last,
while Senator Smith is on record as say
ing that Harrington will have his support
and that he will fight for him to the last
ditch.
Democrats agree that it will be battle
royal, both Lee and Harrington adherents
being prepared to contest every inch of
ground in the state.
Congressman Linthicum. who was an
avowed candidate and the FIRST in the
field. states he had hoped. being a city
man, to obtain the support of the city Or
eanization and had begun preliminary
campaign. but Preston and his friends
did not deem it wise to support city
man at this time. fearing the counties
would oppose his candidacy for this
reason.
Mr.. Linthicum takes the view that
without the aid of the city organization
he could not hope to win, especially under
the unit system of voting.

AUTO ACCIDENT.
Narrow Escape At Dahgerou.
Brldne.

With their automobile suspended by
the rear axle from the coping of the
overhead bridge over the tracks Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. south of Charles
town, Wednesday morning. Edward and
Louis A. Hazard, of Baltimore. narrowly
escaped death when they retained their
seats in the machine while northbound
express train passed beneath them.
As the machine, which was operated by
Hazard, entered the bridge it became un-
manageable and skidded, the rear wheel
collapsing. The front wheel crashed
through the railing of the bridge and the
front part Of the machine hung over the
edge of the bridge directly over the tracks
below.
bridge and held the machine suspended
partly over the side of the bridge while
the northbound express passed but few
feet beneath
Hazard and his companion remained
in their seats and escaped uninjured.
Part of the railing and the stone work of
the bridge were demolished. The auto
mobile was nndamaged except to the
rear wheels.
The scene of the accident is spoken of
by all autoists as a dangerous bridge, as
in fact are nearly all of the bridges cross
ing the railroad on the road between
Perryville and Elkton, on account of the
sharp turns approaching them. The
bridges are placed straight across the
railroad and as consequence the APP
proaches are very dangerous unless car
is going at low speed.

school, Garden Al liberty Grove.

Mr.. G. F. Marsh County Agent informs
us that when calling on the schoolssin
search for boys to join the Boys Corn
Club he was agreeably surprised to
find school garden at Liberty Grove.
Miss Grace Rawlings, the teacher. in
spite of the Encouragement she received
from the community for she was told tn at
it could not be done. that the poultry and
live stock would destroy the plants, per-
severed and was successful in interesting
the children in the subject and now they
are very proud of their work.
AS the soil was not suitable for garden
ing and land 10 the vicinity was consider
ed too valuable to be used for such pur-
pose and as she could not get any one 10
draw good earth as every one looked
upon the project as a joke, she had to
have recourse TO a couple of drygoods
boxes. The children carried the boxes to
the school and then with little express
wagon drew sufficient good soil up the hill
to fill the boxes. II
The children took entire care of the
garden even to,coming up on Saturday to
water the plants and to see that the hens
did not scratch them up.
AT the time of Mr.. Marsh's call there
were onions. radishes and lettuce ready
for use which made pleasant and whole
some addition to the .children's lunch
which they thoroughly enjoyed.
II is to be hoped that another year that
the community will be sufficiently interest
ed in such work to provide plot of
ground and have it plowed and fertilized
for a garden that with the attention, of
the children will not only provide sufi-
cient vegetables, watermelons and musk
melons for the children but also some for
them TO take home for their parents.

INDIAN MAKES THREATS
THE LIFE OF A WITNESS

Indian cinnabar Jim was brought
from INLAY yesterday by Constable
Rich and placed in Jail. Jim was
bound over by Justice Copley to keep
the peace, bail being fixed at $50o.
This action was taken on account
of threats the Indian made against
superintendent Craft of the Inlay
mine and others. Mr.. Craft was a
witness at the preliminary eXamina-
tion of w. r. Petty. who killed Ind
ian Ike near Humboldt a couple of
months ago. Petty was discharged
on the ground that the killing was
done in self-defense. Cinnabar jim
Is brother-in-law of Indian Ike and
he was dissatisfied with the result of
the examination, claiming that the
killing was not justifiable. He has
been making threats against the wit
nesses with the result that he was
arrested and bound over to keep the
peace Unless he furnishes the bail
which is unlikely, he will be kept in
the county jail six months, the limit
provided by law. Cinnabar is an old
offender and has been in Jail a num-
ber of times. -Winnemucca Star.

SINKING TO CATCH TWO
DEEP MEASURES OF COAL
Coal Mine Near Tonopah is Pros
pected Already to 428
Iaeet.s

According to General Manager H..
a. Darms. the coal mine at Coaldale
has been working full blast the last
six months. The shaft is now 428
feet deep He has had 5000 gallons
Of water an hour to cope with, but
ii is easily handled with the new
so horsepower engine that he has
recently installed II the statistics
of Darms are true, the larger vein
should be penetrated within 60 feet
and the third vein within 120 feet.
These two veins should be reached
early in the fall and Tonopah and
Golddeld would benefit by a cheaper
fuel. Judging from samples the coal
is equal TO that shipped in from
other states.
This is the only coal mine in the
state of Nevada and for the fact that
TonOpah is a silver camp, investors
were slow TO venture into this field.
A producing coal mine in this sec
ton means a great deal to the state
of Bonanza.
