The Democratic Advocate from Westminster, Maryland • 2

She Advocate. WESTMINSTER, MD. SATURDAY, MAY 15,1886. Tne Duty of the State. The militia of Maryland should be promptly and thoroughly organized.

We do not know that we have any of the Chicago and Milwaukee social brotherhood in this state, but if they should make a demonstration in Baltimore it would be well to be prepared to give them a warm reception. The last legislature appropriated $50,000 to arm the militia of the state, and they should be armed and drilled. Star. The recommendation of the Star is the dictate of prudence and forecast. The danger is not over, and it is the part of wisdom to for it.

It is too late to begin preparation in a crisis like that at Chicago or Milwaukee. Since the outbreak in those two Western cities we may look for similar outbreaks elsewhere. The feeling is contagious, and will be likely to spread. The Star may dismiss its doubts as to the existence of the Nihilistic element in Baltimore. John Most and Justus Schwab have both been there and harangued the communistic element, who applauded their utterances to the echo.

These men have been permitted, under the administrations of Mayor Latrobe and Mayor Hodges, to utter, without hindrance or interference, their seditious and incendiary appeals, advising their adherents to haifg and shoot and burn and kill. The counsel of these outlaws has borne its fruit in Chicago and Milwaukee, and may bear similar fruit in Baltimore. How long since the blood of her citizens (lowed in her streets through mob violence? Should such a state of things occur again, her authorities cannot say we are blameless, since they winked at these incendiary proceedings of Most and Schwab, who did not go into a corner to utter their intolerable incendiarism, but spoke out with boldness and distinctness, and their utterances were duly recorded in all the city journals. It is time for us, as a people, to pause in the toleration we have extended to the outcasts of Europe. They have come in and partaken of our hospitality, and are now ready to requite our kindness towards them by throwing us and our wives and children out of doors.

Outcasts and ingrates as they are, they know nothing and care nothing for the principles of civil liberty, and utterly despise the rights of person and property. The only argument that they can appreciate is such as they heard at the mouth of the musket in Milwaukee. In the present state of the country it is foolhardy, it is criminal, not to make preparation for the worst. If the country does not awake to a speedy realization of its true condition, the only remedy for existing evils will be through blood. The way of safety is the way of all necessary precaution and preparation.

The Riots in the West. The riots in Chicago and Milwaukee were but the legitimate results of an almost criminal neglect on the part of the authorities. Anarchists and Socialists have been allowed free license to preach their doctrines of mur- der and arson, and to publicly advise the use of the pistol and the torch against all who have by industry accumulated property. The unsettled condition of labor afforded them a good opportunity to put their doctrines in practice, and gave them a strong ally in the idle laborers who were easily misled into acts of lawlessness and violence. Speis, Schwab, Most and other Anarchists should have been imprisoned or banished upon their first appearance as agitators here, or bcticr still, should not have been permitted to land in this country.

All of these were outlaws in their own country, and fled to America to escape the prison or halter. America is the asylum of the oppressed of every land, but it is not the refuge of the lawless. This is the land of liberty, not of free license, and the sooner Anarchists and Socialists are made to understand this the better. No War in Europe. The threatened war between Greece and Turkey has been averted by the intervention of England, France, Germany, Russia and Italy.

Greece was desirous of retaking from Turkey some of her lost territory, and but for the intervention of other governments would have undertaken to do so. As between Greece and Turkey, Greece would have been worsted in the fight, and would have lost more of her territory. The spunk of the little power is to be admired, however, and she was only restrained from declaring war by the blockade of her ports by the vessels of the united powers. The intervention of other governments was a mutter of self interest. Had Greece and Turkey engaged in war, all Europe would have been involved.

Russia could not see the Forte's dominions enlarged, and would i have sided with Greece. England could not let Turkey be divided by Greece and Russia, and would have gone to the rescue of Turkey. Germany, in that event, would have endeavored to stretch herself down to the Mediterra- neau, and that would have involved France and Italy, who do not desire the German empire to be extended. By authority we publish this morning, in a supplement printed at this some thirtyseven laws passed at the late session of the Legislature. They relate to various subjects, and were regarded by the Governor and Attorney-General as proper to be published for tiie information of the people.

They embrace acts relating to insolvents, landlord and tenant, pleadings and practice, inspection and sale of fertilizers, protection of dairymen, of deadly weapons, spread of infectious diseases among cattle, to protection at railroad crossings, attendance and pay of witnesses, sale of goods by gift, to divorce, sale of cakes and candy containing deleterious matter, to the sale of tobacco, cigars and cigaretlsto minors, Ac. Several relate to pleadings and practice and other matters of interest to members of the bar. Everybody should read them. Also in the supplement will be found a humorous and witty address on and Stalwart Eastern Shore Journalists. The young men of the Peninsula take to metropolitan journalism as naturally as ducks take to water.

Stanley Fletcher, of Somerset, is on the staff of the New York Star. J. Bratton, brother of Hon. Robert F. Brattan, of Princess Anne, is city editor of the Baltimore Morning Herald.

Lynn R. Meekius, of Dorchester, is on the staff of the Baltimore American. Waiter Scott Way is a contributor to Bidt, also to the Deiroil Free Press and the Philadelphia Weekly Times, Geo. Alfred Townsend is a Sussex county Delawarean. Thomas M.

Coleman, of Queen county, has been connected with the Philadelphia Ledger since 1850. We doubt not that our contemporaries across the bay can make many additions to this list. The License Law. A correspondent asks the Advocate construction of the new license law that goes into effect June Ist, and whether or not it applies to The act passed by the last General Assembly, relating to the license to be hereafter paid by pedlers, has excited a good deal of interest in various localities, and especially country hucksters are most numerous, it can be safely asserted, however, that the new law does not apply to any person who was exempt under the old law. In fact the only made by the new law is.

that it increases the license to be paid, and does not comprehend any person or class of persons not within the operation of the old law. Commercial Interests. The Wholesale Grocery and Sugar Association of Baltimore, and other business associations, are petitioning for the appointment of Thaddeus S. Sharrets, of Baltimore, as one of the Appraisers at the Custom-House in that city. As to Mr.

Sharretts we know nothing personally, but we endorse the position of the Baltimore business men, that the Apprais. ers should be business men of sound discretion and staunch integrity. Merchants are more deeply interested in these officers than in any other under the government, and have constant business relations with them. Upon their capacity and discretion they are partly dependent for their prosperity. At one time Baltimore was the leading city in the sugar trade, but by customs discriminations and otherwise that trade has almost departed.

It is proposed to revive it, and another sugar refinery is to be established shortly. The success or failure of this undertaking will depend in a large degree on the capacity and fairness of the Appraisers, and we hope the Wholesale Grocery and Sugar Association and other business men of Baltimore, numbering 3,000 we understand, will be granted the reasonable and modest request that at least one of the three Appraisers be a man of business training, and of their own recommedation. Mr. Sharretts, we learn, is not seeking to be an Appraiser, but is put forward by various business associations of Baltimore for the position, and has consented to serve if appointed. His endorsements are certainly strong, as to character and capacity, while his Democracy is also strongly vouched for.

The whole people of Maryland are interested in the growth and prosperity of Baltimore, and are willing to aid her merchants and manufacturers in anything that will tend to enhance her importance as a trade centre. Therefore, let the business men have an Appraiser of their own selection. In his report for the year ended April 30, Third Auditor Williams of the Treasury Department shows that $14,440 were saved in the matter of compensation to clerks. I nder Republican rule government clerks wore allowed leaves of absence, with pay, for long periods and often. In consequence a large number of clerks had to be carried.

Under Democratic rule clerks have been allowed only such vacations as the law permits, and the Department has been able to reduce the number considerably. During the year ended April 30, 1885, the number of days that the clerks were absent aggregated 0,108, and during the succeeding year 3,491, a saving to the government of 2,077 days. How this world is given to gossip. Society in Washington, New Albany and Buffalo is all in a flutter over the approaching nuptials. Bissel, his best man, the bride return from Europe, the arrival of her trousseau, and the probable place of the ceremony, are all subjects of the greatest moment now in society circles, and female tongues are chattering over it all with the greatest volubility.

It is said that the ceremony will take place in Buffalo, on the 12th day of June. The United States has little affair on hand with the Canadian Government, growing out of the fishing interests. A yankee fishing schooner got into Canadian waters after bait, contrary to treaty stipulations, and the authorities took her in hand by seizure. The valiant Senator Frye, of Maine, visible in peace and invisible in war, is outraged beyond measure, and wants the United States to declare war at once. This government is going to act fairly and justly, however, and will wait for official information.

The late Thomas F. Gary, it is said, was the richest man in Caroline county. In ialbot common report awards this distinction to Hon. I. Davis Clark; in Queen to Col.

Win. Mclvenney; in Kent to Mr. George B. Westcott, and in Cecil to Mr. Jacob Tome.

who is said to be worth from six to eight millions. and is a capital feature of the Baltimore American but the folly farther go Socialists Choer for Most. New York World of Thursday. 0 Heated discussions were had in all the cast side saloons, where Socialists are wont to gather, last night. Beer of course was plentiful, and the louder they talked the happier were the saloon-keepers, for talking makes thirst.

One speaker at the assemblages, who said he had a talk with Johann Most while in General Sessions, bitterly denounced the police for arresting Most. and Inspector he said, men of the same stamp. They are cowards. Our noble hearted leader is sleeping to night with the burglars and cut throats of this city. They treat him worse than a dog at Police Headquarters.

Police Capt. 1 McCullagh, of the Seventeenth Precinct, and the Headquarters detectives gathered around him and called him all the hard names they could think of. Capt. McCullagh was cowardly enougli to approach Most when handcuffed and tell him he would feel the greatest pleasure of his life if he could cut the rope that would strangle Most. Our leader, like the gentleman that he is, did not answer the coward.

Most also directs me to tell you that the story that be was found under the bed was a lie invented by Inspector all know exclaimed a chorus of voices. made up the story. He qever missed an opportunity to praise himself, These detectives, they are worse than reptiles, but they can't get the best of cheers for yelled a iqan, and they were given. says his indictment can't stand, as it properly drawn, and going to get out of tnis all At this meeting resolutions were adopted denouncing Most's arrest as an outrage and saying that free speech is tolerated all over Europe and not in this country, the land of the free. The appointment of 500 more policemen, making an additional expense of $500,000, was condemned, as taxes would be increased and in consequence rents.

The police force, the resolutions stated, should be reduced 500 anil not raised. The resolutions ended by declaring that is the duty of every Socialist to know how to use a rifle. Now is the time to learn. Recruits should be looked up, as we need 50,000 men before we will strike a The Work of Congress. The Journal Clerk of the House has prepared a statement showing that since the beginning of the session the number of bills introduced into the House was 8740; joint resolutions, 171.

The number of bills of a private nature which have passed the House is 051, and the number of bills of a public nature 172, making a total of 823. Of this number 170 private and 49 public bills have passed the Senate. The House has received 881 bills passed by the Senate, 129 of which were public and 252 private bills. The House has passed 80 of these bills, 33 of which were of a public nature and 03 of a private nature. One public bill was returned to the Senate at its request.

Shaw in Baltimore County. From the Towsontoisn Voice. Hon. Frank T. Shaw is nqw representing the district; it is his first term; by all the customs and usages of the party he is entitled to a renomination.

He deserves it, be has made a faithful, good member, and is fully entitled to our recognition of bis right to an endorsement, which we hope to see given to him heartily, freely and squarely. To do less than this, is to viertate that party custom of which Mr. Talbott and his friends have made much, and for which they and he are such great sticklers. A little swarthy woman followed a little swarthy man into Justice Court in Brooklyn the other day, and said she had followed him from Braetzonshine, Prussia. The roan was bar husband, she said, and she accused him of abandonwept.

The couple were married in Prussia in 1862, he ran off to America in 1867, and got a divorce from his wife i. Chicago last year. For nearly 15 years the little woman has been 1 chasing him around the country. A DEATH-DEALING STORM. Terrible Disaster at Xenia, Ohio.

Many Houses Swept Away and Lives Lost by the Sudden Rising of a Stream. Columbus, 0., May 13. special from Xenia. Ohio, says last evening terrible clouds were seen gathering and terrific lightning followed peals of thunder. This lasted until 9 when an extraordinary clap of thunder seemed to open the gates and the rain fell in torrents.

The people living in houses on Water street escaped by every way possible. The spout seemed to vent its fury on that portion of the city. For a stretch of 150 yards the Little Miami R. R. is swept away.

The spout struck the houses on Water street and tore them to pieces as if they were shells. A resident of the street states that within two minutes after the clap of thunder he stood in water to his waist, he being about twentyfive yards from the creek. hen the waters reached the residence of Aaron Ferguson it was swept away with nine inmates and lodged against a bridge, where they were afterwards rescued. The next damage was at the coal yard of Samuel Clark, in which was located a tenement house, occupied by a family named Powell, nine in number. Up to 9p.

m. none of them had been heard from. The next point of destruction was in what is known as the bottoms. A dozen houses, occupied mostly by colored people, were -here swept away. One family, by the name of Morris, were swept away.

The last seen of them was at the Miami street bridge, when a man was seen at the window by the terror stricken crowd waving a lighted lamp. The next instant the house disappeared and they were gone. Only one. a boy 13 years of age, has been found. The work of finding the bodies still continues to-night.

The office has been turned into a morgue, and there are now 22 bodies there. The scenes are heartrending. Whole families lie disfigured on cots. The following is a list of the Lindsay, colored; Mrs. Casey, colored; Mrs.

Anderson, colored; a child named Anderson; Mrs. Corcoran, white: a crippled idiot named Corcoran; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Anderson; Stephen Dundon; Orrin Morris, wife and five children, white; Wm. Past, colored, wife and five children; Wm.

Adams and wife. The loss of property is lumber yards and all bridges gone completely. The scenes in the devastated district are indescribable. Forces of men are busily engaged clearing away, and hundreds of people surround the places. The rink has been turned into a refuge for the homeless, who are many.

Among losses are McDowell Torrence, lumber, Miami Powder Company, I Little Miami Railroad, 1 private individuals, $50,000. The city engii neer places city loss at $75,000. The Little Miami Road has about 16 miles swept away. In addition to the above the bodies of two children were found this evening. The complete number of bodies found is 25, with 11 persons still missing.

Another account says There was a terrible wind and rain-storm at 10 last night, with a wonderful electrical display. Water backed up at the east end of town to a lake against the Pan-Handle Railroad. The bank gave way suddenly and the flood came dashing through the town along Shawnee creek in waves 15 or 20 feet high, and swept 20 or 30 houses away, and did damage. Twenty bodies were recovered and there is still a number missing. Whole families perished in the flooded districts.

The following are among the dead: Mrs. Nellie Anderson and sister, Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Samuel Cochran and two sons, Matt Evans, wife and child, Orrin Morris, wife and five children, Stephen Dalton, Wm. Powell, wife and six or seven children, Lewis Anderson and wife, Mrs.

Ed. Lindsay. Cincinnati, May storm of last night which did such fearful work at Xenia, i Ohio, was far reaching. It is heard of in Illinois, through Indiana and Ohio, and at Winchester, Va. Here there has been an unusual electrical disturbance for the past three nights.

On Monday night there was almost uninterrupted lightning from 11 P. M. until 0 A. M. Tuesday night a similar condition existed, accompanied by heavy rains and hail.

Last night there was another electrical storm, with wind, heavy rain and hail. The Xenia storm, however, was much more furious. The counties of Montgomery, Clarke, Butler, Warren and Greene lie adjacent in Ohio, and form an elevated plateau with but shallow valleys and low hills. In these counties are the towns of Dayton, Springfield, Hamilton, Lebanon and Xenia. In the eastern county of Indiana, adjoining this district, is Connorsville.

At all these places the rain of last night was of i the heaviest volume ever known. Dayton i measured inches in about three hours. Xenia was situated so as to meet the worst results. Shawnee run traverses the portion of the city adjacent to the Little Miami Rail- road, which lies lower than the main portion jof the city. The railroad embankment rises i above the general level, and the stream flows through it in a large culvert.

Last rainfall was entirely too much for the capacity of the culvert. The water rose, and at lust swept away the embankment, and with accu- muluted force rushed upon the small cottages located on the low banks and bore them from their foundations. STORMS ELSEWHERE. A violent storm, lasting fifteen minutes; i passed over Winchester, Virginia, Wednesday evening. Two clouds of greenish cast, hang- 1 ing low, one from the northeast, the other from the southwest, met and burst immediately over the city.

The wind attained a great velocity, and hailstones the size of walnuts I fell to tlie depth of from two inches to three i feet. Trees were stripped of their foliage, and the rain fell in torrents, filling the streets and cellars. Every house with a western exposure had all the window glass destroyed. Carriages were overturned on Ihe reads leading to the city, the occupants narrowly es- caping with their lives. A cyclone struck Williamsport, Indiana, on Wednesday evening.

Several houses and barns in the north end of the town were carried away. Reports come from At- tica, two miles east of there, that several of the business buildings, including a new mill, were destroyed. The Revere House and the Chicago and Great Southern railway office i and the wagon bridge over the Wabash river were torn down. Several persons were on the bridge at the time it went down and all are supposed to have been killed. At Wil- liamsporltwo brick houses belonging to Henry Butt were torn down and Mrs.

Butt was badly injured. William Hixon. a butcher of Lanark, 111., drove under a shed to escape the fury of Wedperday's storm. The shed was blown down, and one of the foundation stones struck Hixon 1 on the head, fracturing his skull. He died 1 about hours later.

A very seyere storm of rgin and light- ning visited Evansville, Indiana, on Tuesday 1 evening. The African Baptist Church, a large brick building, was wrecked, stores were unroofed and fences, trees and chim- neys levelled. The losses on property are believed to aggregate $200,000. On the river 1 a steamer had her upper works blown away. 1 1 Two men were drowned in a skiff and a man was killed by a falling tree.

The greater portion of Vichy Springs, twelve miles north Missouri, wasde- 1 stroyed by the storm of Tuesday night. Most of the dwellings and many of the stores were demolished or unroofed. No lives were lost, but persons were injured. Osage City and gedJla, Missouri, were flooded by storm, and at one house was demolished and several others i were unroofed. Two railroad bridges were demolished in the vicinity.

i At Mortonville, Kansas, the Breck block i and a bank were demolished by the storm of i Tuesday. 1 Hailstones, some of which were eleven in- ches in circumference, fell at Mineral Point, Missouri, on Tuesday afternoon. A colt was i killed by one of the hailstones. 1 Hailstones as large as goose eggs fell at i Bonne Terre, Missouri, on Tuesday evening, doing great damage to the crops and smash- i ing glass. The iron roof of the boiler house i of the St.

Joseph Works was riddled as if by i 1 grape shot. Warring on a Pensioned Soldier. 1 From the Chicago. Herald. The New York Tribune which assumes to 1 be the keeper of ail the loyalty there is in this country, and which is in a state of per- i petual alarm lest some Union soldier shall be I unfairly treated, has a contemptible attack on Gen.

Black, Commissioner of Pensions, in nearly every issue. Black draws a pension, js a Democrat and an office-holder. If he 1 bad been a bounty-jumper and was a Repub- lican he would be a patriot in the eyes of the i Tribune whose editor took care not to expose 1 himself to Southern bullets. 1 The Treasury Department was on Saturday 1 advised of a curious evasion of payment of duty on imported wool. A flock of sheep 1 was driven across the Mexican border and i duty assessed on them as live stock.

They 1 were then sheared and the wool placed on the market, without having been subjected to duty. This arrangement resulted in a saving of about 50 per cent, in the matter of duty I alone. 1 It is announced that a match between Jno. Sullivan and Charles Mitchell has been definitely arranged, to take place within three i weeks in Chicago, 'fhree-ounce gloves are to be used. Maryland Affairs.

The Talbot received sixty Springfield muskets from the Springfield armory obtained by a requisition from Gov. Lloyd on the War Department. The Baltimore races sit Pimlico begin Tuesday next. There are about 260 stalls on the grounds, everyone of which is engaged, and arrangements are being made for stalls outside. Joseph Shafer, a well-known farmer residing near Middletown, Frederick county, was found dead in bed from heart disease on Thursday morning of last week.

He was aged 74 years. The washing of the banks of the Choptank river, near Cambridge, has exposed some human bones. They are believed to be the bones of Indians, and their size would indicate that they were giants in height. Mackerel have been caught in the Miles river, in Talbot county, the first ever known to be taken from the river. Among other strange things reported, is the catching of shad in the same river with hook and line.

The Maryland State Temperance Alliance and the Maryland Temperance League, have been consolidated under the first mentioned name, with the agreement that the united body shall be nonsectarian and nonpartisan. It is proposed to have a regular old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration in Easton next Independence Day, with military parades, booming of cannou, target shooting, a barbecue and patriotic oratory, like it used to be done by our fathers. A severe rain and hail storm passed over that portion of Washington county lying adjacent to the Western Maryland Railroad Monday night, doing considerable damage to the wheat and fruit crops. At Smithsburg hundreds of window-glass were broken. The steamship Acadia, belonging to J.

L. 1 Bell importers of tropical fruits of Baltimore, has not been heard of since she sailed from Port Antonio, Jamaica, April 10th, and is given up for lost. She was a screw steamer of 224 tons burthen, and had a crew of 15 men, besides her captain. Mrs. Elizabeth R.

Boynton, who was attacked with apoplexy about three weeks ago, and had been a critical condition ever since, at the home of her mother, Mrs. R. E. Murphy, in Port Deposit, died last Saturday night, aged 61 years and one month. Mrs.

Boynton was the eldest daughter of the late Col. John Creswell, and sister of Hon. John A. J. Creswell.

Representative Shaw was at the Postoffice Department on Wednesday to indorse the petition protesting against the action of the First Assistant Postmaster-General in changing the name of the postoffice at Long Green. Baltimore county, to Long Ridge. Gen. Steven-1 son was absent from the city, and Mr. Fowler, i his assistant, will not take any action on the i protest until his return, Isabel Kunkel, aged 12 years, of Frederick, was badly burned on Wednesday night.

In lighting the gas in her room she set fire to her i dress. Her screams quickly brought her father and mother, who, by promptly wrapping a blanket around her, succeeded in extinguishing the flames, bat not until her splendid suit of hair was nearly burnt from her bead, and her face and arms also painfully burned. The incorporators of the Piedmont and Cumberland Railroad Company on Monday organized at Piedmont by the election of S. B. Elkins president, Harry G.

After the delivery of certifficates and announcement of honors the annual address to the graduating class will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. John W.

M. Williams, of the First Baptist Church, Baltimore. An interesting addition to the programme will be an address to the alumni, which Mayor Hodges has been invited to deliver, and which will conclude the exercises of the day. Col. L.

Victor Baughman, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, reports that great damage was done by the recent rains at Shepberdstown and at points fifty miles below Cumberland and three miles above the Great Falls. Sand bars have also been formed all along the canal. It was the intention of the canal management to turn the water in and open navigation last Monday, but it will be impossible to do so now for several weeks. Superintendent Riser has gone to the scenes of the damage, and will make a report as to the extent of the repairs necessary. As soon as hi a report is received a large force of men will be put at work in order that the canal may be opened to the trade at the earliest possible moment.

An unsuccessful attempt was made last Mon- day night to lynch Hery Davis, a negro confined in Belair jail on the charge of criminal assault upon Miss Elizabeth Welch, near the Black Horse, Harford county, about two weeks ago. Between 12 and 1 about i 25 or JO men appeared at the jail, and arousing the sheriff, Mr. Robert Carman, asked him to come down. He refused to do so, whereupon they said they had come to lynch the negro Davis, and intended to do it. Mr.

Carman warned the crowd against making any attempt upon the building, telling them he was prepared to defend the building and the prisoner, and meant to do it. He also told them the best thing they could do would be to disperse and get home before daylight, lest they should be recognized, which they did. A new enemy to the peach orchards has appeared in the peach growing sections of the Maryland and Delaware pepinsula this spring, and is playing havoc with the young growth of the trees in many orchards. The enenjy is a worm from a quarter to threeeighths of an inch long, and about as thick as a pin. Its color is dark brown.

These worms eat out the entire hull or leaf end of the young shoots, which of course kills the ends of the twigs. Some orchards in Kent and Sussex, Delaware, look as if a fire had passed over the ends of the limbs and scorched the twigs and leaves, presenting a similar appearance to the forests infested by locusts last year. The technical name of this worm is not yet known by the peach growers, and 1 its origin and habits are likewise unknown. The area in which these worms appear in destructive numbers is comparativelg limited. Last week the Susquehanna bridge eta the Philadelphia branch of the Baltimore and Qhjo Railroad was successfully swung free of the this great structure was practically completed.

This gives the new line a continuous track from Baltimore to its connection with the Chester branch of the Beading Railroad on the west bank of the Scln ylkill. in the city of Philadelphia. It is understood that the terms of a traffic agreement have been drawn between the Baltimore and Ohio and the Reading companies for the use of the tracks of the latter and of the Jersey Central between Philadelphia and New York for a terra of three years. With the final consummation of this agreement the new line will be opened for the through freight and express traffic of the Baltimore and Ohio to and from New York byway of the Chester branch of the Reading. The line will be ready for this business next week, and it is expected that freight trains will be nyqnjog jn both directions over the new road in a Tew weeks.

Carman iSalman, an Italian workman on the new Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was killed by a fellow workman, Douala Serocca, at 9 o'clock Saturday night, near Abingdon, Harford county. The two men. with four others, occupied a shanty on Chilberry Hall 1 farm. A quarrel took place between Salman and Serocca, and they went out unaccom- nanied into a clearing near by to have a fight, afterwerds Serocca returned and informed the others that he had killed Salman. He then changed his clothing and, bidding his companions good by, left.

He is 23 years of age. Qii Sunday morning Sheriff Carman, of Udair, vas notified of the occurrence and yent tp the spqt. The Italians had all disappeared. The body of Salman was found in the clearing with eleven cuts in it. From the appearance of the body, Salman in the scuffle with Serocca had evidently caught his foot between the stumps of two saplings, and falling, became an easy victim for knife.

The Italians before leaving said that Salman had a hank book and SIOO in his pocket when he went out to fight, but they were not found on the body. They charged that Serocca had taken them. The murderer could hot be found. News of the Week. A Florida firm is shipping 2,500 bird skins a month to Newark, New Jersey, to be used as hat decorations.

served a term as a Whig member of Congress from I 1847 to 1840. He occupied a seat next to John Quincy Adams, who fell into his arms when stricken with paralysis. 1 William J. Blew died at the county hospii tal in Chicago last week, and the physicians think his death was hastened if not caused, by fright received while he was undergoing mock initiation ceremonies in a new local court of Foresters, which he joined a few weeks ago. Nineteen Socialists and Anarchists, including four ringleaders, were arraigned in Milwaukee on Saturday morning, on charges of riot and conspiracy to kill.

Each was remanded in SSOOO bail. It is expected that the Grand Jury to meet on the 18th inst. will indict more than one hundred of these people. A missing merchant of Claremont, N. 5 has been heard from by a letter dated London.

in which he explains that seven weeks ago he found himself aboard an English 1 steamer, 120 miles out from New York, with his baggage and SSOOO in money all safe, but he had no recollection of leaving New York or how he got on the steamer, i The amount of contributions which have been received by the Treasurer of the Benevolent Fund, in Chicago, is $33,637. The money contributed by the Board of Trade, the wholesale grocers, the lumbermen and the metal workers has not been received by the association. The total amount will nearly reach $75,000. The six-day bicycle race at Minneapolis, between Prince and Schock continues to attract much attention from the fact that both, riders are far ahead of the best previous records. Schock never leaves his wheel.

Prince lost a little over a minute Wednesday. Neither contestant shows any signs of wearing out. The total score for three days is as follows Prince, 545 miles 4 laps; Schock, 533 miles 3 laps. Some of the heaviest rain and hail storms ever known in Kansas and Missouri fell in those States on Thursday of last week, doing I great damage to property. The loss in Springfield, Missouri, and the surrounding country is estimated at An ice dam at Fort Scott, Kansas, broke and swept a house some distance from its foundations, drowning an infant.

A mother and child were drowned by a water spout near Emporia. Memorial Day was observed in Danville, Monday, and the Confederate graves were decorated. Near the Confederate monument is the National Cemetery. All the speakers spoke in complimentary terms of the in who sleep under the stars and stripes. That did their duty I and fought for was the sentiment expressed.

After the speeches soldiers and citizens marched through the National Cemetery and decorated the graves of the Union soldiers with flowers. It has now been ascertained that of the Polish and Bohemian rioters who drank supposed whisky when they sacked the drug store in Chicago, on Wednesday of last week, eight have died and four others are in a dying condition. There are probably other victims who will not be heard of. It appears that the principal drug swallowed by them i was wine of colchicum, which resembles sherry, and has a strong smell of alcohol. It is an almost certainly fatal poison when taken in quanties larger than a teaspoonful.

A violent storm swept along the Conei maugh Valley in Western Pennsylvania on Monday night. Near Conemaugh, a number of empty freight cars, standing on a siding, I were blown over upon the main track. A 1 west-bound freight train of 25 cars, going at a speed of 30 miles an hour, dashed into the obstruction at midnight. All the cars were smashed up, and Conductor Thomas Connors, Engineer Thomas Mowray and Fireman Michael Myers were killed almost instantly. The rest of the crew escaped with slight injuries.

All trains were delayed twelve boars. From Glasgow, Scotland, comes a special cable dispatch to the Nautical Gazette, which announces the construction on the Clyde of a most formidable engine of war, which threatens to annihilate every ironclad in the world. according to the claims of the inventors. It is a vessel with a speed of 22 knots, armed with Maxim guns, throwing 10 six-inch shots 1 a minute, and also a shell containing 400 1 pounds of blasting gelatine, which can be hurled 1.500 yards. Each one of these 1 shells, the makers of this mysterious engine 1 of naval warfare say, can wipe out of exist- ence the largest ironclad afloat, Another Socialist meeting was held in Chicago on Sunday, at which the red flag was i displayed and incendiarism ventilated, but the gang were cut short in their proceedings Iby the police.

In a saloon under the hall three Anarchists who were cursing the laws and the authorities, and who had their pockets stuffed with Anarchist literature and with lists of and in various parts of Ohio, Illinois and Massachu- setts, were arrested and taken to the station i house. A frjemj of one of the prisoners, who called to see why he had been arrested, was asked if he, too, was a Socialist. He prompt- ly avowed that he was, and was locked up with his friend. Miss Kate M. Hastings, of Darien.

has filed a rather singular bill in the United Suites Circuit Court at Chicago against the Illinois Benevolent Society, to com- pel it to pay her $3,000. She charges that in i November, 1884, Eugene H. Wright, her in- tended his life for her bene- i fit in the association ftr $3,000, and the ap- plication was made out under the direction of the agent. It was made payable to M. Wright, wife of Eugene H.

and the policy was filled out in the same way. In March, 1885, Wright died befpre the marriage took place, and now thp association declines to pay the insurance on the ground of misrepresentation. Herr Most, the Anarchist, has been arrest- cd in New York, and will be tried for making a an incendiary speech on Good Friday night. I Two other Anarchists, who spoke at the i same meeting, have also been indicted. I Most heard of the indictment against him, and had been hiding for several weeks until Tuesday night, when he was found in his nightclothes under the bed of his mistress, Lena Fischer, aged 18 and of attractive appearance.

The meeting at which Most made his fiery speech which formed the basis qf the indictment by the grand jury was held qn under the upspieps of the Work- Rifle Club. An army musket lying on the stage put Most on his mettle, and he shouted to his listeners to arm themselves before it was too late and they themselves shot down. He then grabbed the musket and cried out: is not so difficult to arm. I can furnish you with 10,000 such fine breechloaders with bayonets at only Buy muskets and revolvers, and when you have enough shooting arras arise and take what belongs to you. We have not got artillery 5 I yet, but we will have it in A Check to the Saturnalia.

From the JS ew York Star. I Two or three weeks ago the Washington correspondence contained the announce-1 ment that the President had referred 285 pri; vate pension bills to Commissioner Black for examination and report. No little surprise was felt in political circles at the time touching the action. Both parties had gone mad with demagogy. Republicans and Democrats were straining every nerve to excel each other in fulsome adulation of the element, and in making capital with the soldier vote at the expense of the 1 public treasury.

The very wise and patriotic expedient of pensioning those who had sufr fered in the cause of the Union had passed beyond its original limitations and become inflated beyond recognition even by its proi jectors. Raid after raid upon the treasury was organized, each one hungrier and more savage than its predecessor. Members struggled for precedence in the number and liberality of the pensions proposed by them. Milr lions were piled on millions as the orgie deepened. It would have been a farce had it not already become a tragedy.

About this time, when thoughtful men of both parties were beginning to be terrified at the prospect, when one of the leading Democrats in the House had drawn up a statement of the hundreds of millions, the gigantic expenditures, involved in the various pension schemes then before Congress, and when the fathers of the party were asking themselves whether the Democracy could afford to make itself responsible for such incredible wastefulness, the torrent of private awards was precipitated upon the President. The authors and contrivers of these special donations evidently had not considered the possibility of hesitation on Mr. part. Insane themselves, they were incapable of imagining reason and moderation in another. Hence their surprise at the delay.

They had expected that he would be eager to preside over the saturnalia. He sobered them and reassured the rest of the country by showing that he was in full possession of his faculties. There are abundant indications, indeed, that Mr. Cleveland does not intend to permit the record of his administration to be overloaded with folly and wickedness. Against this epidemic of licentious prodigality it is evident he intends to bring to bear the salutary influences of his authority.

Already there are rumors that not only the extravagant abuses of the pension policy, but other malodorous and disreputable jobs are to be passed under the guillotine, and one can discern a reddening in the political East as though the sun of common sense and patriotism were about to rise. Labor Notes. General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, has issued a call to the various assemblies of the order lor a special session of the General Assembly, to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, May 25th. The causes leading to the calling of the session are given as follows: 1. The rapidly increasing membership of the order requires changes in the laws which the General Executive Board have no authority to make.

2. The laws in relation to the gevernment of boycotting are wholly inadequate to compel obedience on the part of assemblies that believe in boycotting for every offence, whether greater small. 3. The laws in relation to strikes do not give the General Executive Board power to interfere in such matters until after the strike has been inaugurated, i 4. The order has become involved in difficulties with trade societies, and an effort is being made to create a rupture between these societies and the Knights of Labor.

The Furniture Association of Chicago, at a meeting on Saturday night, adopted the following: Resolved, That hereafter no member of this association will knowingly employ in his factory any Communist, Anarchist, Nihilist or Socialist, or other person denying the right of private property or recommending destruction or bloodshed as remedies for existing evils. That this Association hereby agrees that ten hours shall constitute a labor, but any manufacturer whose orders are not sufficient to warrant his keeping his factory open for so many hours may regulate the hours of labor by the demands of his business, and that wages shall be paid by the hour on the old terms. The piano makers in New York whp are on strike for ten pay for eight i work met on Sunday to listen to resolutions 1 by their Grand Lodge, declaring their strike I to be a failure and ordering the men back to their shops on Monday morning. The lutions were adopted. All the railroads in Chicago resumed oper- ations on Monday morning, the strike of the i freight handlers having collapsed.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild on Thursday, in response to a resolution of the Honse, sent to Speaker Carlisle a list of sixty customs districts iu which the expenses of the government are greater than the revenue, with the draft of a bill providing for their consolidation with contiguous districts, and providing for fixed salaries for all collectors and other principal customs officers. In I the list mentioned the Secretary proposes to except from the consolidation Mobile, Brazos 1 de Santiago and Alaska.

Democratic Members Leave the Ohio Senate.

i 1 Fourteen of the twenty Democratic mem- bers of the Senate of Ohio arrived in Chat- tanooga last week, in a special car. They left Columbus, Ohio, secretly, Tuesday night, and met at Covington, Kentucky, where they took the car for Chattanooga. They left Ohio in order to get beyond the jurisdiction of a process that might be issued to the at-Arms of the Senate, They state that they are mpfely standing by their constitutional rights, and have no intention or disposition to obstruct legislation; that the appropriations I bill has been passed and all important meas- ures disposed of, and they now leave the Sen- ate to preserve the Constitution of their State and defeat the plans of scheming politicians. 3 They are firm in their determination not to yield an inch, and will remain until a com- promise is effected.
