accepted the resignation of the Hon.
orable T. Alan Goldsborough as Rep
resentative to Congress from the First
District of Maryland. In his reply
to Mr.. Goldsborough, Governor O'Con-

Permit me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your resignation at Repres-
entative in the American Congress
from the First District of Maryland.
Realizing that this resignation is
necessitated by your qualifications as
Judge, I of course accept the same.
In doing so, however, I wish to take
this opportunity to make public &C
acknowledgement of the fact that during
your lengthy service as the Repres-
entative from the First Congressional
District of Maryland, you have de-
voted yourself conscientiously and
zealously in the public interest. The
people of the First District, as well
as throughout the State, have bene-
fitted immeasurably from your distin-
guished service and as Chief Execu-
tive I express deep appreciation of
the signally successful efforts you
have exerted during your public ca
reer.
Wishing you much happiness and
success in your judicial service, I beg
to remain,
Yours very truly,

SNEAK THIEVES SEEM
TO Be PROWLINC ABOUT

It looks as If some sneak thief has
been providing around in private
houses and public places appropria-
ting whatever of value is available.
Mrs. w. w. Holt lost wrist watch,
taken from her home while she was
up stairs. Miss Pauline Dryden's
pocketbook was filched of $40 in cash,
from room in the rear of the Ham
ilton Beauty Parlor where she is en-
ployed. Miss Louise Powell, employed
in the office of III. M. Walters, insur-
ance, in the Peninsula Building, while
in another part of the building, was
deprived of her pocket book contain
ing SIG in cash, keys, and important
papers, which she had left in her of
flee.
Reports have come in, also, Of pet
ty thieving in some Of the stores.
These are not so well substantiated
as the above, but conditions are such
as to make everybody careful about
locked doors. Seems as if homes are
being watched for the departure, of
occupants.

AUTO ACCIDENT
CAUSES INJURY
TO SIX PERSONS
Head-On Collision Occurred A
Short Distance I'm Virginia
At Maryland Line
VARIOUS HURTS TO
ALL SEVEN CONCERNED

An automobile accident in which
seven persons were concerned, hap
pened on Monday last, only about 100
feet from the Virginia line. All es-
capped fatality, but all were more or
less injured.
A crash between a north bound
truck, bearing Connecticut tag, and
a passenger car, carrying a New York
license, staged. an apparent head-on
collision, which at this writing has
not been explained so far as reason
for it is concerned.
In the Connecticut truck there were
three persons: Mr.. and Mrs. Heckler,
of Coventry, Conn.,, and a hired man,
Joe Treviiori. Mr.. and Mr.. Heckler
suffered broken leg, and the former
several fractured ribs. The hired man
was bruised and lacerated.
In the New York car were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Buskin, of Irvington-on-
the-Hudson; and Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Marcy, of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y,
bound. so reported, for Florida. Mr..
Buskin sustained a fractured arm and
nose; Mrs. Bussin, fractured leg and
pelvis; Mr.. Marcy, fractured arm and
ribs; and Mrs. Marcy severe bruises
and decorations.
Halp was hurriedly sent from Po-
comoke, and, after first aid treatment,
all were carried to the Salisbury hos
pital, where they are doing as well as
could be expected.
Just how the accident could have
taken place at point where vision
was unobstructed and where there
was good width of road, is mystery
which the victims have not been in
condition to explain as yet. It all
goes to show that eternal vigilance
on the road is the price of safety.

LIONS CLUB IS
HOST TO MANY
LOCAL FARMERS
First Event OF The Kind BY
Local Organization Proves
To Be Successful
COUNTY AGENT KELLER
SPEAKER OF EVENING

The Lions Club, one of Pocomoke's
service organizations, put on its first
Farmers Night, and about 70 persons,
including farmer guests, were pres
ent. The evening was Enthusiastically
successful.
President Landlord made speech
of hearty welcome to those present,
and stated it was the intention of the
club to make this function an annual
event. On the part of the farmers,
Mr.. Howard H. Anderson spoke in re-
spouse, and made it clear the farmers
appreciated any cooperation between
the business men of Pocomoke and the
tillers of the soil.
The speakers of the evening was
Mr.. c. 2. Keller, county agent, of
Somerset, who took occasion to dis
cuss recent legislation in Congress in
relation to the different problems of
the Agriculturist.
A most pleasing program Of music,
vocal and instrumental was presented,
those taking part being Miss Jeanette
Dix, in vocal solos, tap dancing and
duet with Mrs. F. Reide Onley, both
these ladies being from Temperance
vile, Mrs. Young, of Bloxom, presid-
ing at the piano as accompanist.
The Harris brothers, of HOMETOWN,
Va, gave vocal selections to the ac-
compartment of a banjo. "Parson
Jack" recited an original poem, de-
picting an old farmer at his first pro-
fessional ball game. Griffin Callahan
and Parson Jack constituted leaders
in club singing, and Griffin favored
the audience with a solo, rendered in
his inimitable, characteristic way.
The dinner was served at the Whyte
House Grill and was one to please
the most exacting both in choice of
food and excellence of cuisine, and the
damage done to the platters was
abundant evidence of the keen enjoy
ment Of the feast.
The club is to be congratulated on
the success of their initial farmer en-
tertainment, and with this as sample
the future holds out an occasion of
real pleasure to planters and reapers.

H.. B. PILCHARD
DIED TUESDAY
AT AGE OF "a
An Invalid For Thirteen Years,
Finally Succumbs To Para
lytic Ailment
FUNERAL SERVICES ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON

In the death of Mr.. Henry Boston
Pilchard, which occurred on Tuesday
of this week, Pocomoke City lost one
of its most prominent and highly es-
teemed citizens. For IS years, Mr..
Pilchard had been prevented by ILL
ness from participation in the activi-
ties of life but his accomplishments so
long as he was in health will long be
remembered and they stamp him as
man of sterling worth and valuable
in his citizenship.
The deceased was born in Pitts
Creek neighborhood on November 6,
1866, the son of Henry and Sallie Pill
chard. Very early in his career he
chose carpentering as trade, and so
well did he succeed in this, that he
rapidly arose to be a contractor Of
almost statewide reputation. He
made the construction Of banks q
speciality, and today there stands monu
ments of his mechanical ability in
almost every county on the Del-Mar-
Va Peninsula. His work was of the
highest order, and there never was
any doubt as to the integrity which
characterized all his dealings.
Mr.. Pilchard's value as a citizen
soon drew attention to him as a polit-
ical office holder. For three terms
he served as Treasurer for the coun-
ty-two, for four years; and one, for
three years, and his retirement from
campaigns was due to impaired health
and not to any decrease in his popu-
larity.
AS said above, Mr.. Pilchard strug-
gled against the inroads of disease,
his stamina being that shown in few
constitutions. Besides his widow, he
is survived by two daughters, Mrs.
Grady E. Powell and Mrs. H. Merrill
Walters, both of Pocomoke; by two.
grandsons, Henry and Harrison Wal
tiers, the former an attorney of this
city; the latter, connected with the
State-tax department in Baltimore;

6 TrOuncing
COLD WEATHER MAKES
GOOD PLAY IMPOSSIBLE

With the temperature in the low
forties and the wind in the high TWEEN
ties: with both teams making enough
misplays to necessitate the use Of
double digits in recording them and
inexperience the deciding factor in
their defeat, the Pocomoke high school
baseball team played and lost their
opening game of the 1889 season, last
Wednesday afternoon, amid perfect
football weather and by football
count of IL to 6, to strong Temper
anceville,, Virginia, high school nine,
playing their first game of the year
and who are favored to capture the
Accomack County Championship.
Both teams got exactly half as
many hits as they did runs, and made
more errors and wild heaves than
they did counters. The local boys
did not show up nearly as badly as
the box score would indicate. No
player made more than a single error
and except for their inability to find
the plate, due largely to the terrible
weather conditions the hurlers pitch
ed good ball, allowing the big Virginia
sluggers only six wildly scattered
hits in the inning game, no two
coming in any one frame and only
Levers getting more than one SAT-
ETY., he getting credit for a single
and double out Of three official trips
to the rubber.
This abbreviated contest lasted two
hours and a half and Coach Neubauer
very wisely refused to allow either
of his three pitchers to remain ex-
posed to the wind and cold for more
than an hour. Of this trio, Crockett,
who started the game, was the better,
giving up only three hits in four in
nings played very nicely, which mixed
in with two errors and a walk gave
the Accomackians two runs, and he
left the game. with his team out in
front 8 to 2. They also led at the
end Of the 9Th, to 8 as each team
scored single run in this frame, but

MAYOR JACKSON
IS NOMINATED TO
SUCCEED HIMSELF
Wins Over His Opponent By A
Majority Of Over Thirty
Six Thousand Votes

Howard w. JACKSON was nominate
ed on Wednesday of this week to sue
coed himself as Mayor of Baltimore,
by majority of 36,191 votes over his
opponent, Charles H. Buck. A vic
tory in the general election is prac-
tically assured. Mr.. Buck was the
candidate of the O'Conor-C urran-
Bruce state organization.
The Baltimore Sun has the follow
ing to say, editorially, concerning the
election: "Nr. Jackson's victory in
yesterdays primary is a testimonial
from the people in which he may take
pride. The rank and file Of the
Democratic party has demonstrated
that it believes he has made good
and a strong Mayor. Mistakes and
weaknesses are in his record, but the
vote shows that in the minds Of q
large majority of the dominant party
the whole Of the Jackson record in
the City Hall is good, very good. In
organized worker-strength, the two
fractional machines were so closely
matched that the overwhelming VIC
tory for Mr.. Jackson must be written
down as a personal victory on his re-
cord. The majority of the Democrats
Of Baltimore preferred Mr.. O'Conor
for Governor, but it is clear now that
the Gubernatorial primary last Sep
TENDER did not reflect the opinion Of
the party on Mr.. Jackson's services
as Mayor. His election in May Is 10
be expected. IF he Is reelected, he
should take office with an inspiration
and gratitude that win exact Of him
the very best Of his unusual ability.
