This community was much pain
ed at the untimely death Of Miss
Ella Money, second daughter Of
William H. Money, residing near
Greenspring, who has been snatch
ed away from a circle of large
friendship and affection just as she
was blooming into womanhood.
Several years of residence in this
town made her we'll known here
where her rare gift in music was
appreciated, and il the country
where she resided she was no less
esteemed for her bright youth and
usefulness. On Sunday in the
brightness of the perfect day,which
it was, radiant in all except the
clouds of her sorrow that fell heav-
lily around the bier, the people from
this town and from the country
for miles gathered to pay tribute
Of respect in the last sad rites ia
Glenwood Cemetery. The floral
designs were as beautiful and ex-
pressive az the grief was sincere
and profound.
The Railways The visitation Of
the officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad down our lateral roads
Monday gave rise again to the re-
ported sales-this time the Della
ware and Chesapeake being the
one designated as about to fall into
the hands of the Pennsylvania. It
may or may not be SO, and there is
no way Of finding out until the Of

ing superintendent Kenney and
Mills, Trackmaster M honey,
George v. Massey, and Manlove
Hayes went down the Peninsula as
far as Crisfield, then back to Clay
ton and to Oxford, thence to Cen
treville over the 10. A. & K. R.R.,
and from there to Baltimore and
Washington. The impression has
somehow obtained a strong foot
hold that the gridiron railway Of
the Peninsula will sooner or later
belong to one corporation.

Mayo, associated editor of the New
England Journal of Education, who

plimentary terms of the manner in
