Mr. Cullen made a brief and clear statement of canal affairs. The memorial adopted is as follows: To the Honorable The Board of Public Words of Maryland: Gentlemen; In the matter of the disposition of the State's interest in the Chesapeake Ohio Canal, in the maintenance of which as a waterway the prosperity of our town and county so largely depends, fully realizing the value of the ownership of the State's interest in this work to the lein of the creditors now operating it in order to fully complete their title, aud its hick of value to the State or to any other person or corporation not so interested (with the idea of a railroad on its banks eliminated as evidenced by the lack of bids to your proposal recently advertised.) We hereby petition your honorable boch- to dispose of the State's interest ir the waterway to the trustees of the bondholders of 1844 now operating it or to their allied interest, the B.

O. Railroad Company, upon a basis of the offer made you by that corporation, providing, in the'interests of the people of the State at large and more particularly of the counties through which it runs, that the purchaser shall build ample bout equipment, improve the physical condition of the waterway and maintain it as such, and assure such volume of business as shall make the work a live-going aud aggress've concern Copies of the memorial will be sent to towns along the canal to be signed by persons who are interested in the welfare of the waterway, and promptly forwarded to ihe Board of Public Works. Meetings will also be held in these towns. The coal shippers, boatmen and others in Williamsport who favor maintaining the canal as a waterway are in hearty sympathy with the movement inaugurated at the meeting. Cowen Denies It.

Poet Laureate, Tommy Martin, received from a friend the following article which speaks for itself from a southern paper: "No better example could be fonnd than that the bitter feeling once existing between the North and South has died away than was shown in the first Maryland Regiment recently mustered out at Camp Mackenzie. In the regiment were two heroes of the civil George L. Fisher and First Lieutenant Owen Norris, one a hero of the Confederacy and one of the Union army. When civil war shook the country, these two gallant men took np arms in defense of the causes they thought right, and, when the strife of battle as over, retired to farms, living the peaceful life of tillers of the soil. When a foreign foe threatened our country, none were quicker to offer their services for the defense of the flag and honor of their country than these two former as friends, aye, as boon companions, they enlisted in the same many an evening would si, discussing the battles of former days.

Now that their country need their services no longer, they have returned to their different homes, but the picture of these two heroes, arm in arm will long linger in the eyes of the men of the regiment. Captain Fisher was a German by birth, b.it, with his pa cuts, moved to America, and settled in Maryland. When civil war was declared, he enlisted as a private in the First Maryland regiment of Union soldiers, soon rising to first sergeant. He was so popular and such a fighter that the company was called "Fisher's Company." After peace was declared, he accepted a lieutenancy in the regular army, and served as an officer for thirteen years. From the date of his retirement until the outbreak of the Hispano-Americau war he has been a planter.

When volunteers were called for, this ex-army officer, war scarred veteran and national guard captain of eighteen years' rank, was offered the captaincy of Co. which he accepted aud held until mustered out, returning to his home near Baltimore Lt. Owen Norris was born in Baltimore in Is4o. He was reared in the city and when the war between the states broke out enlisted at the early age of 10 in the First Maryland of Confederate soldiers. He served with such gallantry that at the cl jse of the war he wore ep'aulets.

After Lee's surrender, Lt. Norris returned to his home aud soon moved to the Eastern shore, entering agricultural pursuits. At the end of the first day's righting at Gettysburg, the company in which Lt Norris was serving was the advance company of the Confederate line and Capt. Fisher's company occupied a like position in the Union ranks. Little did these two men dream that nisht the hated enemy in front would some clay be serving under the same flag and be his bosom friend.

WAR FLAGS. The First Maryland Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment Association gave its annual banquet Monday night at Du- sliane Post Hall, in Baltimore. There were three flags in the hall, relics of the war. One had been presented to Co. by the ladies of Hagerstown; another was presented by the the ladies of Baltimore to Co.

He landed in Williamsport Tuesday and was about the town all right. He says he interfered to stop the fracas, but didn't stop it. Some of the guests had been drinking and a fight was precipitated by John Stewart and Albert Alderman. Stewart was getting the best of the fight when Alvey Alderton went to his cousin's rescue. Silas Deal also took a hand, and Alvey Alderton knocked him senseless by a blow over the head with a paling.

A man named Bender saved Stewart who got several fractured ribs. Olpiiiw dodged a rock and escaped a full speed, is said to have been laid out lifeless by a rock striking him on the head. Stewart secreted himself under a bed up stairs, and upon refusing to obey a command to show himself, bullets were sent upwards through the ceiling and perforated the walls and windows.

Mr. Bikle believed things might, be expedited some if the council would withdraw the present bill against the commissioners and a new bill was prepared iu which the council and commissioners were together the plaintiffs.

Miss Horst had not been well for the past few weeks and Tuesday morning she arose with a severe headache. Her mother went to Mrs.

Joseph Eshelman's on an errand about 8 o'clock in the morning and about 10 was notified by Mr. Sperow that her daughter had inhaled gas. On arriving home they found the young lady almost unconscious and she never awoke to tell the story of the sad accident. It is supposed that on arising from the sofa on which she had been reclining near the stove, she fell against the pipe and knocked it down, and, perhaps fainting, was unable to call for help, She and her mother lived alone, and as no one was there, it is supposed she lay in an unconscious condition for some time, and then rallying went to the door and called for help. Mr.

Sperow and Mr. Murray heard her call and went to her assistance. Dr. D. C.
