Central.
It has been quite a while since you
have been written the news from this
place. The summer is almost gone,
although we are now having the hottest
weather of the season ; but the cool
evenings, with their cool refreshing air,
make it very pleasant. In fact this is
considered one of the best climates
anywhere in the Eastern States. No
fog, good water, and a nice breeze
makes this section very healthy, es
pecially in the summer season. Our
crops are all splendid. I just took in
a view of Henry C. Hess' potato
patch, containing less than an
acre and a half. , I think he will have
500 bushels.
The bark pealing is done. The
Pentecost Company pealed about six
thousand cords; Mr. Brady, for the
Tanning Company, about a thousand.
I suppose you know all we Central
folks like to fish. Well, since the
trout season ended a number of us
have taken a trip to the ponds. Among
those from Central we mention : Cole
Kocher, John Barney Hess, A. M.
and J. H. Vansickle, M. F. Shoemaker,
I. B. Gibbons, and J. F. Lamon, all
having rather good success and an
enjoyable outing. There is no time
that fish tastes so good as when you
camp out and fry them over an open
fire.
Our little village is all peace and
quietness, and our Hotel is being run
on first class principles, and is gaining
patronage every day.
The campmeeting passed off the
most pleasantly it has for years. The
scribe attended on Sunday morning,
and he says the sermon of Rev. Buck,
with the splendid music put forth, was
worth any intelligent persons time to
listen to.
This was an off year for politics.
Poor attendance at either caucus
especially the Republican. Mr. Ste
phens came and waited when darkness
was near at hand, and concluded to
go home. Finally C. E. Yorks put in
an appearance and related a joke or
two then he also strolled homeward.

Killed While Playing Indian.
Another boy has been sent to the
grave playing Wild West. A rumber
of lads were playing at killing Indians,
recently, in Mehoopany township.
Nine ytar-old Lenford Love was a
redskin and 1 2 year old Fred. Doty
was a cowboy. According to all es
tablished rules of boyhood fighting the
young redskin was to die by the hand
of the cowboy, and Doty placed a
supposedly empty revolver to the
mouth of little Love and pulled the
trigger. Unknown to the boys the
revolver was loaded and the bullet
passed through the child's neck, sever
ing the spinal cord and instantly kill
' ing him.

The Uncertainty of Life in a Sailboat.
Near Ocean City, Md., a party of
ten, (comprising six women and four
men) bent on the pleasure to be found
in a boat ride and a "fish-fry," were
panic stricken and capsized. All but
three men of the party were drowned,
The names of those who drowned are
Mr. and Mrs. William Storrs of Phila
delphia, and their young daughters
Jda and Minnie, along with Luella
Hall, Lina Hall and Myrtle Stevens
of Bishopville, Maryland. The Times
says of this accident:
The party was under the direction
of William Hudson, who had taken
them out in a small pleasure boat
which scarcely afforded accommoda
tion for half their number.
When about two hundred yards
from shore, in water about seven feet
deep, Hudson attempted to tack,
probably for the purpose of returning.
The boat keeled so that the women
in the party became frightened and
two of them sprang, with screams of
terror, to the windward side. This
caused the boat to lurch even worse,
and all hands becoming frightened the
craft was quickly overturned.
Mr. Storrs, who, though he had but
one hand and was blind in one eye,
was an expert swimmer, and succeed
ed in getting his two daughters on the
bottom of the boat. He then swam
to his wife, and was making his way
to the boat with her when the two
children became frightened and again
sprang into the water. Reaching their
parents, they clasped them about the
neck and all four sank together.
Hudson placed the two Hall girls
on the overturned craft and swam to
the assistance of Miss Stevens, but
before he could reach her, she, too,
disappeared beneath the waves. Lina
and Lulu Hall, in the meantime, had
followed the example of the little
Storrs girls and either fell or jumped
into the water. They, too, were
drowned before assistance could reach
them.
Hudson and two young ladies, who
were also in the boat, were rescued by
a fisherman.
Hudson, the skipper, protested to
Mr. Storrs against the party crowding
into his small boat, which could only
carry comfortably four persons. Storr's
answered:
"Oh, there is no danger. The wa
ter is shallow ; we are close to shore,
and the wind is light." 1
Before entering the boat Mrs. Stores
took her husband's gold watch, over a
hundred dollars in money and their
rings and other valuables and tied
them in her apron. She was tightly
clutching the bundle in death.
"Sugar," remarked Johnny, as he
lifted several lumps to his open face,
"has reached the top notch, and a
drop may be expected." Life.

some place in the
body. It may be
one place or an
other, the cause is
generally traceable to a common source
impure blood, and impure blood starts
in the digestive organs.
That most dreadful disease consump
tion is what is known as constitutional.
It is in the blood. In reality, it is scrof
ula of the lungs, and it can be cured 98
times in 100 if proper treatment be taken
in its early stages. Sending good, clean,
pure, rich, wholesome blood continu
ously through the diseased parts will
gradually eradicate the disease. If the
medicine taken be Btronidy purifying,
healing and soothing, the cure will be
even more rapid.

Obituary,
The sad intelligence of the sudden
and unexpected death of Maggie
Odessa Tilly, caused not only the im
mediate family to be startled, but, also
the entire community. The family
were encouraged by the physician,
that she was slowly convalescing, and
they need not have any alarm as to her
condition. But alas 1 the beautiful
lily of the home was so unexpectedly
nipped by the frost of death, and she
peacefully passed into the beautiful
paradise where flowers never wither or
decay. Just before breathing her last
she gave the comforting testimony of
her security in Christ by exclaiming,
several time?, " I'm not afraid." Miss
Tilly was failing in health for several
months and her frail system seemed
to collapse at once. The deceased
had many excellent characteristics
and commendable virtues. She was
very sympathetic, courteous, and
generous. She was a faithful member
of the M. E. Sunday School, at Buck-
Horn, and just recently elected Sec
retary of the Epworth League cabinet
of the above named place. We com
mend her parents, sisters and brother
to Jesus, who is able to assuage all
grief, bear every burden, and bind up
the wounded hearts. Impressive
funeral services, were held on Wed
nesday A. M., Aug. 14, amidst a large
concourse of people. Her age was
20 yrs. 7 nios. and 22 days.
Mr. and Mrs. Tilly desire me to
state through the columns of this
paper, their great appreciation of the
assistance the neighbors and friends
rendered during the illness and death
of their daughter. Interment at
Dutch Hill Cemetery.

Republican Harmony With a Club In It-
It is said that Senator Quay was
forced to take issue and act in the
role of an opponent of our great cor
porations. And it is further said that
his speech in the convention will be
sensational ; nor will his fight for the
lowly as against the lofty be ended
should he be turned down in the con
vention next week. After the delivery
of his anticipated sensational speech
the lines of battle will be laid down in
a manner too impressive to be mis
understood by those who do the voting,
as they will be given to understand
what the real animus is, and who the
real animals are, from the Quay view
of it and from his horn 01 the dilem
ma. This reminds us of a little
poetry we once learned that seems
somewhat applicable to Quay's case.
It runs as follows :
"The devil got sick, and the devilja saint
would be.
Then the devil pot well, and a devd of a
saint was he."
A Threatened Disruption.
The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company will as miners of
coal make no concessions to others
in the coal combine ; but it persist
ently demands 21 per cent of the out
put of the anthracite coal. The re
port that the company had receded
from her demand is said to be false.
An official of the Company says :
" Our position is unchanged and
no concessions will be made." Re
garding a report that a movement
was on foot to settle the existing diffi
culties, he said he knew nothing of
it and that so far as Reading was
concerned the situation was precisely
as it stood four months ago.
But the consumer don't want to
congratulate himself too soon about
the prospects of cheap coal this winter.
The optimist who sees nothing but
sunshine will not wantonly lend his
