The Way Democratic Nominations are
Managed in Maryland.

The report of case which was tried in
Baltimore is taken from the american Lao
Register. The circumstance serves very
we'll to exemplify the potency OF, and
dependence placed in lager and other bev-
erages by the leaders of that guileless
party, and the morality and fine sense OF
honor which influence them:
The father of the appellant, who is a
citizen of Baltimore, desired to be nomi
mated by the Democratic party at the
primary election held on the 4th Of August,
1873, as it's candidate for member of the
first branch of the City Council for the
Fifth ward, at the election which was held
in September of the same year. He was in
Europe at the time, and the management
of the canvass was left entirely to the
appellant, who accordingly applied for as
sstance to the appellee, the keeper of a
lager beer saloon, who professed to have
potential influence with the numerous Ger
man voters of the ward.
The appellee stated that he had already
been applied to on the subject by another
person, but was willing to give his aid to
the appellants father for ar adequate con-
sideration. A contract was accordingly
made between the parties, by which the
the appellee was not only to give his politi-
cal influence in favor of Stasburger, Sr.,
but was also to furnish lager beer and
cigars to the voters of the ward at the
saloon of appellee. And the appellee now
brought this action against the appellant
for refreshments furnished, as he alleged
in pursuance of the contract, on the day of
the primary election, to the amount of $1s,
consisting of two kegs of beer, a box of
cigars, and also some extra beer supplied
after the kegs were exhausted. 1t was not
denied that some of this beer was ordered,
and an order to the appellee, written by
the appellant and signed Strasburger &
Son, firm of which the appellant was
member, and produced at the trial, was in
these words: Put the amount of beer up
that / told you, and l will pay" The
beer and cigars we're consumed early in the
day, but without the anticipated effect,
for Strasburger, the elder, failed to obtain
the nomination.
Judgment was given for plaintiff, and
defendant then appealed to this court.
The court reversed the decision of the
Magistrate, and decided that the entire
contract was contrary to public policy and
therefore void.

gSome men can only see things retro
spectively. Instead of looking forward to
what they might do they only look back to
what they might have done. They learn
from experience, after it has become little
late in the day. Such men are the non
advertisers "Book- farmers were once
despised by the self called "practical"
farmers, but when the latter saw the form
er's crops, they changed their minds.

B-The last Legislature of Maryland
appropriated So, 800 to be expended in
stocking the streams of the State with such
fish as the Fish Commissioners considered
would yield the greatest profit. The Com
missioners' original plan was to purchase
Matching apparatus and propagate the
young fry of shad, but on corresponding
with Seth Green, they found that to pur-
chase the right to use his Matching troughs
for the State would cost S., 900, nearly the
entire appropriation.
The next plan of the Commissioners was
to purchase young fry from the State of
New Jersey which had procured the right
to use Green's Matching apparatus. A
large number Of young shad were conse-
quently purchased from the Commissioners
of that State, and placed in the proper
tanks for transportation. The young fish
were placed in charge of a competent and
"trusty" agent to bring over to Mary
land. 1t is necessary that the water be
changed at certain period in the tanks, to
keep the young fish alive and healthy.
This careful agent, however, got drunk on
the way and neglected his charge, which
not being provided with food or fresh
water, all persisted, and that is the reason
why the Susquehanna and other streams in
the State did not receive an accession to
their shad of several thousand, which would
have returned to the places they were put
into the rivers at season in the near
future, adding largely to the catch by our
fishermen.
The Commissioners proposed, we have
been informed, stocking some Of the streams
with bass and other fish which spawn later
in the season. Next Spring, if the balance
of the appropriation is sufficient, an effort
will be made to place quantity of shad
fry in the rivers of Maryland. We hope
the Commissioners will employ cold
water man to take charge of the next lot of
little fishes they invest in. A man who
gets drunk while on duty is not worthy to
have the least confidence reposed in him.

RS-Indian Agent Miles writes from the Cheyenne
and Arrapahoe Agency in the Indian Territory, under
of September Goth that he learned through Indian
channels the day previous that General Miles had been
forced 10y the Chtyennes to retreat to the vicinity Of
the Antelope Hs. Encouraged by their success the
savag-s had sent ont war parties, of which had
encountered General Davidson the Washa, and lost
three braves. Another party of 25 camped the
2jt about 80 miles west of the agency and Miles sent
"A courier to teansters of their danger TIL.
followed late in the day by Captain Cramer
with cavalry company. Agent Miles felt anxious his
wife and three children being detained between the
agency and Caldwell by floods with escort of only
10 soldiers. He thinks the Cheyennes will fight like
demons and scour the whole country" on the Kansas
border.
Two years ago we met dozens of these
red devils of the Cheyenne tribe on the U.
P. r. r., between Omaha and Cheyenne,
begging about the stations and shooting
nickles from split sticks, which the passen-
gers set up, with arrows; lot of utterly
worthless vagabonds.

BELLA1RE. .
Mrs. RAIDER, an old and highly res
pected lady, and resident of this city for
many years, died Saturday morning.
Mrs Roder was good old lady and high
" esteemed by all who knew her. She
died with full hope of a blissful life on
the other shore.
Our friend and fellow citizen F. NJ
Snively, Esq, returned home yesterday
after soiourn of two weeks in the
Hoosier State.
NOTHING transpired yesterday-that
is nothing of special notice.
YESTERDAY WAS very warm and beau
tiful.
THE eclipse was on hand last night,
and attracted the attention of many.
OUR policemen had quite a lively time
yesterday afternoon, after couple OF
fellows who wanted to get on their mus
Gle, and succeeded in getting on to very
considerable extent. One of the Offend
ing parties was conducted to the city
prison after lively chase and some
''knock-down" arguments. The other
believed in the doctrine that he who
fights and runs away, may live to fight
another day" So he Just walked off on
his cal" and has not been heard of since.
ABOUT twenty juveniles left the Pub
lie Square Saturday afternoon, while
match game of base ball was being
PLAYED between the Bellaire nine and
the Clippers, and went up Indian run to
witness two of their number engage in II
prize fight; but after arriving on the
ground it was discovered that "sand .
was not component part of either of the
parties make up; consequently there
was no fight.
ABOUT half past six o'clock Saturday
evening a fire broke out in one of the
rooms Of the window glass factory, in
| South Bellaire, but f1rtunately the flames
were extinguished before much damage
was done Our fire companies deserve
great credit for their promptness, for in
less than three minutes after the alarm
was given, the Liberty Hose Company
No. |, and the Phunny Hook and Lad
der Company, were on their way to the
fire. The Liberty Hose Company No. ],
was on the street first.

ACCIDENT AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
During the third heat in the trotting
race at the Driving Park on Saturday
afternoon, q. ID. Upton of Cadiz, Ohio,
while ving."Revcnge' was thrown out
of his sulky, and made narrow escape
from being killed. While going past
the judges stand, the horse became
frightened and made sudden plunge to
one side, throwing thu driver out. A.
he fell the lines became wrapped around
his legs, and everybody expected he
would be dragged after the aving animal.
He Immediately raised himself up, how
ever. and caught hold of the sulky with
his hands, and held himself in that posi-
ton. The horse continued 10 run, and
finally jumped over the fence, taking
sulky and man with him. The horse
was compelled TO stop by running
against another fence, which was
stronger than the first A large
crowd gathered around the wreck,
and Upton being picked up and exam
led it was found that he had escaped ssri-
Gus injury, much to the relief of those
who witnessed the accident, He was
bruised somewhat about the head and
shoulders by striking q post Of the fence
The sulky was smashed to pieces. .

LAURELs FOR THE NAIL CITY BOYS

LAURELs FOR THE NAIL CITY BOYS
We always had a great admiration for
the members of the Nail City Base Ball
Club, both as regards their playing and
personally; and we claimed they could
handle bat and ball with any amatuer
club. but we had no idea they would
carry off the laurels with professionals,
but such is the case. A lot of well known
base ball players from the East, who hap
pcned to be in the city on Saturday
their names will be recognized in the
score given below-wanted to play a
game. and invited the Nail Citys to
friendly combat, which invitation was
accepted. They went down to the grounds
in South Wheeling to show the Nail City
bows trick or two about the national
game;-but, alas! their expectations in that
line were busted" To be convinced of
that tact it is only necessary for the
readers to cast their optics down the
score and note the result.

BASE BALL.-lStanddrd Us. Washing
ton College Nine.-According to arrange
ment the Standard nine and about thirty
five or forty friends left for Washing
ton, Pa, on Saturday morning,
to play match game Of base
ball with the College nine Of the above
place. The Standards have been sue
cessful in all their former games,
including one with the Washington
boys, and they and their friends
naturally felt that victory would
again be perched upon their banner in
the impending struggle, and consequent
ly in going up they were in jubllant
spirits, but We are sorry to say their ex-
pectations were not fulfilled.
They arrived safely, and the game was
called at 1890, Mr.. S. Woodward, Of the
Bethany College club having been chosen
umpire. In the first inning the College
nine made seven runs and the Wheeling
boys only two and thus from the start
the latter had to play an uphill game.
1t is said by those who witnessed the
game, that the Standards did not play as
well as usual and didn't seem to be in
their best trim. On the other hand,
their opponents played with vigor
and determination, and from the
start it was evident they intended
to do their level best for victory, not
even the swift balls of Junkins soaring
them from their purpose. The game
closed OF 2:50p. NJ, and stood 90 to 90 in
favor of the College nine. We under
strnd another game will be played be-
tween the clubs, the time Of which will be
mutually agreed upon hereafter. We
trust the Standards may have better sue
cess next time. We append the score:
