He had been iu failing health nearly a year and for several mouths had not been able to attend to judicial duties, so that his death not unexpected. The Fourth Circuit loses an honorable, conscientious and right judge. He will be remembered rather more for au interesting person ality, and for his amiable traits of character, than for hU public achievements, although he served constituents and his country with ability and fidelity, in every positioi in which he was placed.

Elected Congress by the aud Know nothings in 1854 when only 2'J year of age, he was oue of the little hand tul of border stati men who refusei to be carried away by the lieree see tional temper which at that time tool passession of the South, and he ha the eonrageto vote for the expulsioi of Pre-bton B. Brooks from the HOUM of Representatives after his attack on Senator Sumner. He was a candid.it in 1856, and 185S, but was beaten bj William T. Hamilton, who was then the Democratic leader in Westeri Maryland. When the Thirty sixth Congress met in December 1S59, he was electei of the House, am held that cilice i appointed Col lector of the Port of Baltimore bj Lincoln in April 1861.

To take pos session of the Baltimore Custom House, in the midst of the turiuoi and civil strife that prevailed at th time of his appointment, and to tiol it for the Government, required man of courage, discretion and un flinching loyalty, and Collector Hoff man measured up to the place. held the office until President Andre Johnson "swung around the circle and then he was succeeded by Co Edwin Webster. Mr. Hoffman re mained in Baltimore for a year two, before returningJtoCuinberlan He took an active part in the Con gressioual campaign in I860 in tt Fourth District (now the Sixth i whe Hon.

He would have reached the conststntional limit (JO yearg) during the present year, but the laet legislature extended hie tsrrn to 1898, when his fifteen ear term would have expired.

Judge Hoffman was not au a give party leader. His political successes were due mainly to his personal popularity, and to the public conli dence in his integrity. He was are- markably handsome man, tall, "rect, dignified, a born gentleman in his demeanor, somewhat reserved, but with ail BO kind and courteous that DO one feared to approach him. Hi tastes were scholarly and leaned to literature even when he WAS in practice at the Bar. He graduate.

Kuuiors concerning this scheme have beeu afloat around Washington for boiue time, but without deliuite verification. Now it is announced positively that a company has been formed to construct such a line, and operations are expected to begin very soon. It is probable that the corporation will be beaded by Uov.

Frank Brown of Maryland, who is also president of the Baltimore Traction Company. He has been invited to become president of the new company, but has not yet definitely accepted. The plan is to run a trolley road straight across country, following as far as possible the existing roads, from Washington to the battle Held, a distance of about seventy-live miles. It will pass through Cooksville, Skyesville, Westminster and Union Bridge. It will be joined at Rev.

C. W. Porter Found in a Single Head- Last Saturday, Mr. Charles W.Por- ter, North Jonathan street, bought heads of cabbage from Mrs Frederick Frank for 23 cents. Yesterday, Mrs.

Porter cut open one of largest heads and was surprised to iiud a perfect miniature head under each leaf that she removed. In all, the head of cabbage contained 48 little heads, all very solid and perfectly formed. The larger the leaf, the larger was found the head which was shielded by it. Mr. Porter had the curiosity on exhibition and many old farmers said they never saw anything like it.

Mr. Porter said he has cut open thousands of heads of cabbage but this oue beat them all. HP thinks o7 heads of cabbage for cents is a tremendous bargain. POLITICAL GOSSIP Washington County is Anti-Gorman Schley. Cleveland's Champion.

Tbe country is a rich farming district for the entire distance and it is thought that aside from the trafllo obtained from the sight-seeing visitors to the battle ground, there will be a revenue of considerable size from the transportation of freight through this district, and it is expected by the projectors that the lines and their connections will cause the diversion of a t'reat amount of garden products into the markets of Washington and Baltimore that otherwise would find only local markets. The enterprise finds its life from a charter granted by the last legislature of Maryland to the Maryland Immigration and Trust Company, which grants the right to this corporation to "construct, equip and operate steaut, electric and other railroads in the The right is given to it to lay tracks and use such highways, roads aud streets as may be gra'uted to it upon suitable terms by the county commissioners of any county or by the municipal authorities of any town or city in the state, and it is expressly provided that the company shall have all such rights in the condemnation of land as are granted by the general laws of the state to railroad corporations.
