Tie first day of Congress waa marked by the
introduction of several bills to ropeal tho Salary
Grab law. Senator Wright, Of Iowa, proposes
to repeal tho increase Of the salary Of members
OF Congress, but to leayo TINT Of tho President
1T $50, 900 until the close Of tho preaont Admin
iBtration, whom 1t shall bo 925, 900. Senator
Oonhling lns been splitting hairs ever since last
March concerning the power Of member Of
Congress to roturn to the Treasury the baok-pay
voted ut tho Last session, and now offora bill to
make such return legal It Is to be hopod :hat
no such bilt for tho relief Of idiots will paaY.
The prevailing sentimont aeems to bo in favor
OF repeal Of tile law, 80 far as Congress- is con-
ceruod, End so far as tho present Congroas iB
involved, loss tho money already drawn. Each
member OF the prosont Congress has already
received nino months forward pay, or 98,125, bo-
fore taking his scat. 70 repeal the Salary bill
will DO to leavo him but $3,875 for tho romsin-
object to diegorging, and will probably retain
tho high salary for tho year ending in March,
and for clio year to follow will tako 96, 900 with
miloage. This, however, will not satisfy tho
country. The people demand the unconditional
repeal Of tho Grab law In tho very words in
which It stands, beginning at last March, and
anything less taan this will bo visited With pop
ular indignation.

Ilo tyranny OF party IN kenoraI, anu TIC fol!g
Of the Democratic party III particular, weso illus
trAtod simultaneously by the holding OF Demo-
cratic CAUCUS just prior to tho assembling Of
Congress. With clear majority Of tWo-tArdn
against them, tho Democrats Of the House woso
determined to porpotuate tho traditional absurd
ity of sticking together as party through thick
and thin, eron at tho sacrifice OF the Influence
thoy might otherwise exert By freedom Of action
and by ali alliance with the right sidc when tho
majority party is divided on any quoation. Tho
attachment OF tho Democratic party to the cor
rupt school Of poltica was further illustrated by
the refusal Of the caucuB to adopt q resolution
coudemnatory Of the salary- -grabbera, and also
by the persia!ont choca OF Fernando Wood as
tho Democratic nominee for Speaker, There
waa only one suving feature about this
aotlon,-tha withdrawal OF A1r. Cox. of New
York, and Mf. Holman, Of Indiana, from
the caucus, when 1t lad committed itself to
this attitude on tho aalary-grab Tho fact that
Mr.. Cox received twenty-ono Democratic votea
for Speaker, In opposition to tho oaucus caudi-
date, Fernando Wood, and in spita OF hla ALL
nounuement that he whH not d candidate, makea
| it appear that there arc about twenty-five Demo-
cratic members Of the House who are restvo
under old party restraint, and ara not afraid to
| kick oyor tho traces onca In while. This Ia a
good beginning, and, II that number not tnds-
pendontIy On al occasions. they may b able
somatinaa to defeat combinations betwean tha
| two partteg for corrupt purpoacs.

DAMAGE CAsE.-In the Superior Court OF Bal.
gimore, on Friday of last week, before Judge
Dobbin, the case Of Joseph Walker against Philip
Gladfelter, removed case from Baltimore coun-
ty, was on trial. This was al action brought ia
recover So, 900 damages against the defendant fol
louling with impurities the waters of the Falls oil
the Little Gunpowder, near Parkton, BALTIC. CO
The defendant, in connection with Mr.. John A.
Dushane, is manufacturer of paper, his mill be-
ing situated a short distance above the dam oil
plaintiff.
Mr.. Fisher in his opening statement before the
jury stated that the mill used from a half to a
whole cask of bleaching powder per day which
finds its way into the drain, and down into sew
ers and thence into the Falls. They also use sui
phuric acid and other poisonous compounds
The water below is nearly as black as ink cat
tile cannot drink it. 1t would destroy a pair OF
shoes on a person wading therein. Washing
clothes in it would bring blood from the fingers
in few minutes. The result is that the value
of plaintiffs farm is greatly deprecated and his
sgrain-mill property also.
Two large bottles of water were brought into
fcoGrt, one of which is labelled sample out of
the fSis' and the other, ''from the race near the
house, The testimony OF scientific chemists will
be introduced in the case.
The defendants pleas claimed that the right to
use the wster for the paper mill was prescrip-
tive right accompanying the mill property, which
had been used as paper mill for over twenty
years. The plaintiff demuEed to the pleas, and
after argument the court decided, in substance,
that the defendant must show that be possessed
the right to use the water in the same t0ay as he
n0aO using II for twenty years. If the other paper
mills on the stream over twenty years are doing
the same thing, the plaintiff can assert the same
rights against all the mills which contribute tc
the pollution of the water, and the fact may bt
proved by defendant in mitigation of damage;
against himself if any are found.
The case has occupied the attention Of the
Court all week and was not concluded at the
time of our going to PRESS.

administered the right of confirmation to a
class of twenty-five persons, and ordained Rev

rated with flowers, and large congregation
was present to witness the ceremonies The
Introductory services were conducted by Rev
Mr.. Haines, rector of ST. Timothy, after which
the candidates for confirmation came forward
to the chancel, and were addressed by the bish-
op and confirmed according to the ritual. The
ordination sermon was preached by Rev. A. P
Stryker, rector of st. Barnabas, who, at the
close of the sermon, gave an exhortation to the
candidate about to be ordained.
Rev. Mr.. Kilgour was afterwards presented
to the bishop for ordination by Rev. Mr.. Stryk
er, and the services were conducted by the bish
op in accordance with the prescribe form. Th,

New PASSENGER CARs.-The managers of the
Northern Central Railway Company have within
the past two weeks placed upon their road eight
new passenger cars, the wood work of which is
finished in beautiful manner The panels be-
tween the windows are of polished roet ash and
the trimmings Of polished walnut, relieved with
delicate carving and gold stripes. The old
fashioned lattop window has been abolished
and the circular head adopted. The ceilings Of
the cars are frescoed in a beautiful manner, and
each car is supplied with selfacting ventilators,
which not only permit currents of fresh air to
rush through but ehectually exclude the dust
An important feature in the Citing up of these
cars are the stoves of peculiar pattern, so con-
structed that the feet of passengers in cold wealth
err are kept comfortable by placing them on metal
chambers that radiate from the stoves. The in
terror painting of the cars is Of bright, cheerful
color, and the exterior of brownish crimson,
which is most beautifully set off with stripes o.
gold. The cars were constructed at York, Pa
and large number of the same style are being
built

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING-A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
During the prevalence of the thunder storm ON
Wednesday afternoon last, the large frame dwel-
ling house occupied by Mr.. Burton G. Carpenter,
on the Watson farm, two miles south of Milford,
was struck by lightning and badly wrecked
The fluid seems to have struck near the centre of
the roof, and dividing, traversed the building in
all directions Passing between the ceilings and
floors it tore off the laths and plastering, and
piled them in heaps upon the floors below. The
weather-boards were torn off, the windows and
doors wrenched from their fastenings, and SILVER
ed to fragments and altogether the building is
badly damaged. Mr.. Carpenter was sitting in
the door at the time, and leaning against the wall
with his family seated in the room near by
They all fortunately escaped serious injury, be-
ing only slightly benumbed by the shock. A
dog lying on the porch few feet from the door,
was instantly killed. There was no combustion,
except slight charrng of the timbers. Milford

youngest is more than sixty years old. When
this troupe was last in the United States two
young ladies were riding in car and wished tc

one suggested asking the aid of an old gentleman
sitting on the seat next behind them. "Oh, no, u
responded the other, "don't trouble the old man. u
To their establishment this aged individual rose
stepped in the aisle, made low bow to the young

VALUE OF LAND IN ENGLAND The annual value
of the rent-bearing land in England and Wales
is stated to have increased from about two hun
dred and forty millions of dollars in 1853 to near
ly two hundred and eighty three millions in 1870
This is shown by the official returns of the prop
erty tax. A piece of ground bought in Hoborn
(London) for eight hundred dollars in 1852 now
yields twenty thousand dollars rent per annum.
These instances of enormous increase are, of
course, exceptional, owing to location or other
circumstances. In the United States there has
been also a vast increase in value We have
quoted these English items to show that while
the paper currency of this country has had some
thing to do with nominal increase of values, it is
not the sole cause
