bride was becomingly attired in rust
color satin, with hat to match. The
happy couple left Union Station at

will visit Mt. Vernon and other
places of interest, going from there
through Virginia to Norfolk and

STAND PIPE DRAINED AND
THOROUGHLY CLEANED.

Since the painting of the stand
pipe on the inside, some time ago,
the towns water supply has been
very much tainted with smell ana
taste of tar. AS this did not clear
up after frequent DRAWINGS of the
big tank, the Town Commissioners
decided on heroic measures and ON
Tuesday again drained the tank,
scraped and cleaned the bottom,
which was found to be covered by
about a quarter Of an inch of the
soft tar preparation that had been
used In the painting. After being
scraped and cleaned gasoline was
sprinkled about in the tank and set
fire to, going off with bang. This
cleaning has had the desired effect,
the water again being back to
normal.
It is claimed the paint used on the
inside of the stand-pipe was not the
proper sort, the. blame being placed
on the parties who did the work.

CHURCH PETITION REFUSED.
EIlxton Presbyterian Church Asks
Transfer To Baltimore
Presbytery.


The New Castle Presbytery, at
their meeting in Frankford, Del,
Oct. 8, refused the application of the
Elkton Presbyterian Church to be
transferred to the Baltimore Pres
bytery. The vote was over two to
one. The Presbytery of New Castle
fatty Stated its position with regard
to the action of the Elkton Church,
and emphasized their attitude by an
overwhelming vote.
Instead of settling the controversy
for all time, and bringing peace to
the discontented flock the decision
only served to fan the flames of de-
finance and bitterness. 1t had been
hoped by all concerned that some
sort Of working agreement could be
reached during the meeting of the
Presbytery.
The disgruntled members of the
church in question have even threat
ened to disassociate themselves en-
.tirely from the Presbytery. In an
ewer, the ruling body declares sucA
action would constitute open and
fragrant rebellion against the
Church. The body further stated,
through its spokesman, Rev. John
MacMurray of Newark, that in case
such action was taken by the Elkton
church, legal proceedings will be
instituted to compel the congrega-
tion to vacate the edifice.

BALL GAME CALLED OFF.

Greatly to the disappointment of
base ball fans the game arranged to
be played here Saturday afternoon,
between Rising Sun and Elkton,
with Herb Pennock of the Boston
Red Sox on the mound for the home
team as tRe stellar attraction, had
to be called of ON account of rain.
Manager Biles had advertised the
game widely and indications were
that a big crowd would have been in
attendance. Both, teams were on
hand but the frequent showers and
drizzles made playing conditions i'm
possible, and the game was finally
called off. The managers of both
teams carried enough rain insurance
to just about cover the expense they
had been put to,

PROHIBITION OFFICERS MAKE
RAID.

Prohibition officers last week
made raid on moonshiners' quar-
ters on Giles Island in the Susque-
hanna river below Port Deposit, and
captured seven stills and thousands
of gallons of peach mash.
The largest still was located on
the north end of the island, and
1900 gallons of peach mash were
dumped and the stills wrecked. No
arrests were made, as it is said the
operators were tipped OFF, before
the prohibition men arrived.

AUTOS COLLIDE.
Stranger Fined For Reckless Driving
BY Our Magistrate.


BY Our Magistrate.
A bad accident occurred about
three o'clock Saturday afternoon at
the foot Of Pigeon hill, just west OF
town. when two autos side-swiped
each other, but the occupants luckily
escaped. with nothing more serious
than some minor cuts and bruises,
and a bad shaking up.
One car was driven by J. H, Haw-
ley, of near West Nottingham, and
the other by Abraham s. Inkelas. of
New York City.
1t is asserted by those who wit
messed the accident that the Hawley
car was coming down Pigeon hill at
rapid clip, the other car just start.
ing up. The machines met at
about the concrete bridge, at the
foot of the hill, striking each other.
The force Of the impact threw the
New York car clear cross the road,
to the left hand side, and down the
steep embankment, where it brought
up on its nose in the marsh. The
four occupants, two women and two
men, were badly cut and bruised,
one of the women having a bad cash
above the eye that required a ply
sician's attention. Fortunately none
of them were seriously hurt. Their
machine, Buick, was badly dam
aged.
The Hawley~car swerved to the
left and ran down the embankment,
one front wheel being broken. The
occupants were not injured.
Mr.. Inkelas lodged complaint with
Justice of the Peace b. p. Nichols
and notified Motor Police head
quarters at Bel Air, being told an
officer would be sent Immediately.
The officer, however, did not appear
on the scene until Sunday morning,
and then took the case out of the
hands of Magistrate Nichols, going
before Magistrate "A. j. Jones for
the hearing. "a
Mr.. Inkelas testified that he had
driven from New York and had pur-
chased pair of chains and placed
them on the rear wheels of his ma
chine that morning, when it began
to rain. He was driving carefully,
he stated, as one of the occupants of
his car was an aged lady just out of
the hospital. He pulled to side of
road when he saw the other car ap-
preaching, and the right hand
wheels of his machine were clear or
the concrete roadway when collision
occurred. Hawley testified he was
coming down hill with his machine
in second gear.
Magistrate Jones ruled reckless
driving on the part of the stranger
withM our gates, despite his testi-
mony, and fined him $500. The
costs, $1.20, were placed upon Haw-
ley.
Mr.. Inkelas, who plainly had the
sympathy of the crowd at the hear
ing, stated he would appeal from the
ruling of Jones.

why does not the presumption hold
good that the majority is right there
as elsewhere?
The strikebreaker occupies in the
industrial world a position precisely
analogous to that of the renegade
and traitor. He represents, type of
man universally condemned. in any
other sphere of human activity. He
sells himself for less than the thirty
pieces Of silver. but too often lacks
the grace which caused Iscariot to
go and hang himself. He commits
the objectionable sin of betraying
his fellows. He purloins that to which
he has no claim and is the one
stun bling block in the path Of the
onward advance of the wage-earner.
The attempt to make him respect

would have them do unto you?" BY
what torutous logic can it be assert
ed that the man who, from selfish
personal interest, seeks to profit by
the industrial difficulties of his fell
lowmen, is acting in accordance with
the Golden Rule? .
There are sometimes, but rarely,
extenuating circumstances under
which the srtike- breaker acts. He
may be driven by want-but this sell
dom happens, for, at least when la
Dor is organized, those who are in
real need are provided with the ne
cessities TO life from the union funds.
He may, sometimes, be actuated by
feeling Of friendship for an en-
ployer. But the strike breaker, pure
and simple, the non-union man who
embraces the opportunity of taking
jobs which his fellow-craftsmen have
forsaken on principle, is actuated by
no such motive, but by unadulterat-
ed selfishness.
He sets up his desire for individual
advancement as of more power and
influence in determining his course
of action than the welfare of his
kind. He permits himself to be used
as a club to strike, down the aspira-
tions of labor. He contributes the
one great impeachment to the success
of the principle of collective bargain
ing, upon which the trade-union
movement is based. He probably in
spired the saying Of a philosopher,
