Junior PLAY.

The junior class has started on its
class play. The members have selected
a three-act mystery entitled Mystery
in the Library" which proves to be
three acts of thrills and comedy. What
could be more thrilling than group of
college students gathered In a basement
room Of an old college on dark,
stormy night, only to find out that they
are not alone--but that a mad man is
roaming about the building? An at
tempt is made to take a pupils life and
another is kidnapped What few
chances are there of anyone's returning
when he once ventures out into the
black gloomy hall? And what harrow
ing and blood curdling experiences the
pupils pass through before they finally
solve the Mystery in the Library

WIN. SARTORIUS
DIES AT AGE OF
EICHTY-SIX
One of PocomOke's Oldest Citi-
zens Died Wednesday At
His Home, Market st.
FUNERAL SERVICES WILL
TAKE PLACE SATURDAY

One of Pocomoke City's oldest and
most highly respected citizens answer
ed the last call on Thursday morning
yesterday when William Sartorius,
aged sc years on September Is, passed
away.
Mr.. Sartorius was born in Accomack
County, Va, of German parents whose
home was in Hanover, and who came
to this country when German Militar-
ism compelled every male citizen to
enter the army. Opposition to war
fare led the elder Sartorius to flee his
native soil at the first opportunity
carrying his family with him.
When William Sartorius was only IA
years of age, he with his father came
to Pocomoke City after a residence in
Elizabeth City, N. c., and later con-
tinued the business of jeweler. For
years he could claim the distinction OF
being the only business man living
here who had been his contemporaries.
He was a member, also, of the Nation
al Jewellers Association, and was at
one time the third oldest man in this
country, active in the work OF his
trade.
He had lived long enough to see
many changes in Pocomoke and
throughout his life here, he won the
high esteem of his fellow-man, and
died with a character and reputation
above reproach.
Besides his widow, who before her
marriage was Miss Susan Ellis, of this
city, the deceased is survived by two
sons: DR.. N. E. Sartorius and William
B. Sartorius, both of Pocomoke; and
by three grandchildren: William S,
Sartorius, principal of the school at
Ocean City, Md; Norman W. Sartor-
JUS, at the Maryland General Hospital,
Baltimore; and Mrs. Ruth Wells Arm
strong, of Glen Burnie, Maryland.
Funeral services will take place
from the home at 2 P. M, on tomor-
row (Saturday); interment in the
cemetery of the M. P. Church, Rev.
Mr.. Ditto officiating. The pallbear-
ers will be Charles P. Council, G. E.
Schoolfield, Colmore E. Byrd, Sylves-
ter Messick, Robert J. Lambden, and
Charles T. West.

TWO POCOMOKE
CITIZENS VICTIMS
AUTO ACCIDENT
Mr.. And Mrs. Edward Landing
In Hospital Recovering
From Painful Wounds

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Landing are,
at present, in the hospital at Sails
bury, receiving treatment for wounds
inflicted when the automobile in which
they were riding became uncontrol-
liable, turned over several times, cut
ting and bruising the occupants, but,
fortunately, causing no very serious
injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Landing were near
New Church, Va, when the accident
occurred. Mr.. Landing was driving
and, according to his statement, he
cannot account for the trouble except
on the ground of something in the
way of a pain which struck his back
This made him, for an instant, ease
up on the steering wheel, and that was
long enough for the car to leave the
road and somersault several times.
The machine was badly wrecked anC
it is miraculous that Mr.. and Mrs
Landing were not fatally stricken. Al
it is, they are reported as recovering
and will soon be home.
Mr.. Landing is well known as 6
member of the supplementary police
force of this city, and his friends are
much gratified that he escaped more
serious results.

DR.. LANDLORD
IS FOUND DEAD
in AUTOMOBILE
Was Found With Bullet Holes In
Head And Automatic In
Automobile With Her
WAS PHYSICIAN OF BIG
PRACTICE IN SOMERSET

After DIR. Catherine F. Landlord, of
Princess Anne, had been missing from
her home long enough to cause I'M
easiness; and after a search her dead
body was found in her car near Prin-
cess Anne; it is exceedingly difficult
to describe the feeling Of horror and
deep regret that settled down upon,
not only Princess Anne, but also in
Somerset and in neighboring counties.
She was 81 years of age.
DR.. Landlords absence from he1
home on Tuesday of this week began
to cause concern later in the after
noon. Extensive search began and
she was found about $50 same even
ing, with her body fallen over on the
front seat of her car and towards the
right. On the seat was a forty-five
automatic, and two bullet wounds in
the head revealed the cause Of her
death.
While DIR. Henry M. Landlord was
an inferno in a Mid-Western hospital,
he met the woman whose tragic death
occurred Tuesday. They married and
since living in Princes Anne, they have
built up large and lucrative practice.
The wife was eminently successful and
her numerous clientele will sadly miss
her ministrations. Besides her pro-
fessional association, she had won the
friendship of many friends who will
sincerely mourn her passing.
Besides her husband, she is sur
vived by two children. Catherine M,
a student at Goucher College; and
Henry M, Jr., of Princess Anne. Fun
eral services were held in the Presby-
terrain Church yesterday, Thursday, af-
ternoon.

MAYOR JACKSON
IS RENDERED A
BANQUET mon.
Letter Signed By Central Com
mittee Presented Favorable
To Mayors Candidacy
MIR. JACKSON WAS THE
SPEAKER ON PROGRAM

A dinner was given on Monday last
in Snow Hill, at the Hotel Purnell,
in honor of Mayor Howard w. Jackson
of Baltimore, who was the first to
throw his hat into the ring as par
ticipant in the fight for the governor
ship of Maryland.
According to preceding announce
ments, the function had no particular
sponsor, was free to all who would
buy ticket, and everybody was well
come. The dinner was attended by a
very satisfactory number.
Mayor Jackson was the speaker of
the evening, and in his opening re-
marks he stated: "The action of the
recognized leaders of the Democratic
Party in Worcester County in indors-
ing my candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Governor Of Maryland,
has made me very happy; and well
come this opportunity to come here
tonight to express my appreciation in
persons, and to thank you for your
good wishes and support"
The Endorsement" referred to was
evidently the result of a previous
meeting of the State Central Commit
tee, at which it was decided to place
Worcester County as far as possible,
behind the candidacy of the Baltimore
Mayor. In anticipation of Mr.. Jack
sons visit to Worcester, the dinner
was arranged and at this the follow
ing letter was read:
Pocomoke City, Md.
September "a, 1887
Hon. Howard w. Jackson,
Mayor of Baltimore,
Baltimore, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Jackson:
Realizing the apparent crystalliZa-
ton of sentiment for you for the
office of Governor of Maryland,
we have caused to be interviewed
and we ourselves have interviewed
election districts of Worcester
County for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the extent to which such
sentiment exists.
AS result of this inquiry, we are
able to inform you that in our
opinion there is a genuine senti-
ment favoring your candidacy for
this office and the preponderance
of opinion is that we should so
advise you at this time, and ex-
tend to you the pledge of support
of many Democrats of Worcester.
From the number interviewed who
have expressed themselves as IA
vorable to you, we believe that as
the time of election approaches,
you will find the Democratic party
of Worcester County almost
unitedly and solidly behind your
candidacy.
We realize the excellent and out
standing administration you have
given Baltimore during your term
as Mayor, and because of this
experience as well as because of
your ability a a man of affairs,
we believe you will go to Anna
polls in January 1889, with ability
as an executive second to no one
who has occupied the Executive
Mansion.
It is therefore both a privilege
and a pleasure for US, each in
dividually, to express our con-
fidence in you and our belief that
will give Maryland sound and
wise administration, and we
pledge you our support in both the
primary and general elections of
1888. We each do this in our in
dividual capacity.
Very sincerely yours,
This letter, reliable information
