Church Folk Meet On Campus

The community twilight service
in which every church in town had
been invited to participate, held on
the College Campus, last Sunday
evening, was pronounced by those
present a splendid meeting. A
choir composed of voices from the
various churches Of the town led
the singing. The sermon was
preached from the text found IN
the 56th Psalm, the twelfth and
thirteenth verses, by Rev. A. Van
Oeveren, pastor of Head of Chris
tiana church. The discourse was
filled with a happy breadth of vi
sion and lofty conception OF
community ideals.
The speaker referred to the
blessedness of coming together for
a season, to join in praise and
prayer; to recall to our minds 1t
isn't church we worship but a
God behind a church. 1--WE live in
one community" the speaker de-
clared, 1--WE all know one another;
l will say we all have faith in one
another; I will go further-we all
trust one another. Nevertheless
the denominations all represent
ing a people striving toward God,
have grown up. And l say to-
night than God for the denomina-
tions." Mr.. Van Oeveren repeat
ed a conversation with COM
panion on recent fishing trip,
as setting forth his feeling in re-
gard to the place of denomlna-
tions. His companion, a Baptist
minister, said, "Well, you're a
Presbyterian, I'm Baptist. How
do. you make it?" Mr.. Van Oev-
eren replied with the question,
"Do you catch all kinds of fish
with the same kind of hook?" and
declared he believed the various
denominations necessary to meet
the needs of the varying DISPOSE
tions and temperaments OF people.
On next Sunday evening Rev.
Joel S. Gilfillan, evangelist of the
Presbytery of New Castle will
preach. On the following even
ING the services will be in charge

CECIL COUNTY
FARMER MISSING
Friends Fear Suicide

Residents of the Fair Hill Sec
tion, Cecil county, Maryland, are
mystifed over the disappearance
of Algernon Quein, aged 35 years,
farmer of that locality, who has
been missing since Thursday, July
22nd. Family and friends fear he
may have committed suicide, hav-
ing become affected by the heat.
On Sunday workmen from the
Providence Mills searched the
nearby woods and the waters of
Little Elk Creek, but could find no
trace of him.
Quein is married and has five
small children. On the day he dis
appeared he had been hauling in
hay. He lived on the farm of his
father, John w. Quein, a store
keeper at Fairhill. Quein had
been complaining of pain in the
back of his head and it is thought
he was probably affected by the
heat, because of his strange ac-
tions. While hauling a load of
hay to the barn one of the horses
dropped dead. This seemed to
greatly affect the young man and
he fell in a swoon across the dead
horse. He was assisted to his
house by friends.
Soon afterwards Quein changed
his clothes and left the house. He
did not say where he was going
and the last his wife saw of hin
was when he entered the corn fielC
in the rear of the barn. This was
about II o'clock in the morning
and at o'clock he was seen by {
boy who knew him crossing {
creek near Providence which il
not great distance from th'
farm. This was the last time tina
any one who knew him saw o.
heard of him.

TERRIFIC STORM
AT CAMP MILLER
Louis F. Wagner, Militiaman,
Killed

The tragic fate of Louis F. Wag-
ner, reporter on The Wilmington
Morning News, and a member of
Company C, Organized Militia of
Delaware, cast gloom over the
closing hours of the 18th annual
encampment, o. M. of Delaware
at Camp Miller, near State Rifle
Range, New Castle, last Friday.
The camp was visited at 6.15 p. m.
by terrific wind and rain storm,
during the course of which bolt
of lightning struck one of the
round tents on the street of Co.
C. of Wilmington, killing Private
Wagner, and stunning the three
men with him.
The day had been clear, and de-
spite a slightly dark cloud seen
overhead, it was not thought that
storm would come soon. All the
exercises incident to the day had
been gone through and prepara-
tions had been made for a gala
night, it being the last one in
camp. Sergeant Walter F. Farren
of Company c. had issued the first
call for regimental parade when
he noticed signs of storm and ad-
vised the men to hold their posi-
tions until the weather should set
tie. For few minutes rain fell
lightly, and the men were ordered
into their tents. Wagner and his
three companions went into the
last tent. The rain beat harder
and harder and the wind increas.
ed to a veritable cyclone. The
bolt of lightning, which proved
fatal to Wagner, was felt by
many in the camp. Aside from the
men in the tent which was struck
number of others in the camI
were stunned, all of whom have
recovered.
Wagner, who was 81 years o
age, is survived by wife ant
two children. Funeral service
were held at the late residence il
Richardson Park on Monday. Gov
ernor Charles r. Miller, comman
der-in-Chief of the camp, adju

WRECK in WAKE
OF GREAT STORM
Campers Have Narrow Escape

Probably the most violent wind
and rain storm that has visited
this locality for years was that
which began with a gentle rain
about five o'clock on Tuesday
evening, gaining in fury during
all the night. The rain beat in
torrents until after daybreak, ac-
companied by cyclonic winds
which made the night an unforget-
table one. Practically every yard
in town this morning was heaped
high with debris, scores of trees
were uprooted, and wires were
down in every direction. Corn
fields for miles around were laid
low, with, the farmers declare,
little hope for the recovery of the
crop.
Old residents along White Clay
declared this morning they had
seen the stream higher only once
in twenty years. The Nonantum
Paper Mills, owned by Curtis &
Bro, Inc, were closed all day ow-
ing to the high water mark. Work
men in the mill watching water
early this morning, noted rise of
one foot and half, by actual
measurement, between six-thirty
and seven o'clock. The bridge
and adjoining roadway was flood
ed, making travel exceedingly diff
ficult.
Campers from Newark along the
North East river found themselves
in desperate straits. Occupants
of the bungalows belonging tt
DR.. Steel and L. w. Lovett were
forced by the rapidly rising
water to vacate their quarters be
! tween three and four in the morn
ing, when they made their escap,
to higher ground. Shortly afte.
Mrs. H. R. Tyson, Miss Reeves ant
the Steel children had left tn

bungalow was swept away. Mrs
L. w. Lovett, Mr. and Mrs. Thoma
Cooper, of Wilmington, and MI
