We remind our readers and the public gen
orally that an adjourned meeting ofthe friends
Of the Maryland Central Rrailroad will be
held at the Court House, in Bel Air, ON Tues
day next, Nov. 9th. This meeting will go
far to show us whether our hopes may be
any longer centred in this work, for COM
munication by railroad with the outer world
We presume that our friends of the Edge
wood route will take immediate steps, after
this meeting, to see to the prospects for that
road, and that the initiatory steps will he taken
TO convene, q meeting in its interest. Let us
have railroad at the earliest practicable time,
and see that we do not expend our time and
energies in meetings only.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE In BALTIMORE
CITY.-Last evening about seven o'clock
one of the extensive buildings, known as
the Abbott Rolling Mills, situated near Har-
ris's creek, Canton, accidentally caught fire,
and before it was eXtinguished large por-
ton of the works were destroyed. The fire
caught in what is known as the shot She'd"
and, though early discovered, the workmen
were unable to stop its progress. The bull
dings front on Hudson street. The main
building was three hundred feet long and
ninety feet wide, connecting with another
building on the east side but recently erect
ed, 200feet long and 90 wide. On the west
side of the main building there was anoth-
er building one hundred and fifty feet long
and thirty feet wide. All were of heavy
frame work, iron braced, and covered with
slate. They were especially erected and
used for the rolling of railroad iron, and
were filled with costly machinery required
for that purpose. The cost of the building
and machinery was stated to be not less
than OO,000-how much the actual loss
is, could not be learned last night, nor
could the amount of insurance, if any, be
ascertained. The loss must be great
BdH.Sun.
Subsequently, it is ascertained that the
loss by the above fire will be about $4,000
upon which there is insurance to the
amount of 100000.

THE ELECTION.

The election passed off quietly throughout
this county, on Tuesday last, and a very light
poll was made-not much over one-half OF
r1e registered vote being cast. The result
was not difficult to predict, and was in ac-
cordance with previous expectation. We
think it much to be regretted that so many
voters absented themselves from the polls at
this particular election Although the obvi.
GUS reason for so doing was the assurance OF
the result being in favor of the Demo
cratic party, still the moral effect of our
full strength being recorded as unmistaka-
bly, opposed to the revolutionary tendcn-
cics of the Republican patty, would have
been something for us in the future AS il
is the returns received so far indicate the
election of an entire Democratic representa-
ton in the next Legislature, from every
county in the State. This may not be en-
tirely certain in regard to one or two counties,
although we think it is, but even grant
ing that We lose those, it will not affect, one
way or the other, the status of that body.
From New York the returns indicate that
the Democratic State ticket is elected by
from 10000 to 10000 majority-lcaving the
Legislature, as it was previously, Republican
The Democratic majority in the city has fall
en- off somewhat, but is more than compensa-
ted for by their gains in other parts of the
State, Horace Greedy, the Republican can
didate for comptroller, runs 1000 ahead of
his ticket in New York city.
Massachusetts, Illinois and Wisconsin have
gone Republican, from all indications. In
Alabama, the returns from the city of Mobile
show success for the Democrats West
Virginia, with her mixture of "let up" Re-
publicans and proscriptive Republicans,
shows divided vote. New Jersey has gone
Democratic. The elections in all these States
were held on last Tuesday.
Upon the result in our own State we have
every reason to congratulate ourselves; and
as much important business will be before
our next legislature, it is well that we shall
be represented by men of character and in
tegrity throughout the State
We presume that some of our newly cleo
ted county officers will qualify at an early day,
and new c0icial faces will shortly be seen
among us, although happily in the persons of
very old personal friends. We are sure those
whose terms are about to expire will bear
with them, wherever may be their future
walks in life, the best wishes of their fellow
citizens for the able and courteous manner
in which their respective duties have ever
Ecen discharged

THE NoRTH-GERMAN LLoYD.-The En-
ropean Mails correspondent at Bremen
writing on October 6, says You are no
doubt aware that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company is largely interested in
the North. German-Lloyd's line of steamers
between Bremen and Baltimore, holding one
half of the shares specially issued for the
construction of the vessels now running
with such success between those two ports.
The above mentioned enterprising Ameri-
can Railroad Company has made a fresh
proposal to the equally enterprising Ger
man Steam Navigation Company, which
some people might be disposed to stigma
tie as the height of audacity, it being
nothing more nor less than to run new line
of steamers between Baltimore and Liver
pool on the same terms as the Bremen and
Baltimore line, viz, each Company to fur
nish one half OF the capital required, the
profit and loss to be for joint account, the
steamers to be placed under the German
flag, and the management exclusively in
the hands Of the North German Lloyd.
Such signal manifestation of confidence
has created a favorable impression in this
city, and it was with deep feeling of re-
greet that the directors of the North Ger
man Lloyd were obliged to decline for the
present the tempting offer, not from any
fear of the result, or danger from Compel
ing with the formidable Cunard and Inman
steamers in their own port, but from the
necessity of directing all their attention
and energy, to the perfect organization
of the new line they have undertaken to es-
tablish between Bremen and Central Amer
lea, and which of course requires much
forethought and consideration in working
out with all its details, so as to have every
thing arranged for commencing the spiri-
ted undertaking with reasonable chance
of success"

sang that it used to be, and generally devo-

usual number of petty depredations, and much
to the credit of the place, but little mischief
was done.
