KILLED IN THE RAILRoAD.-I.ast night
about 10 O'Clock, a fatal accident occurred on
the W ashington branch OF the Baltimore and
ohio railroad, near the corner of 9th and l.
street northeast, by which Thomas COnIan
nagman employed al that point, was killed.
IL appears that the incoming trains were ac-
customed, until recently. to come in on the
inner or south track. On the approach of
thls train Conlan took his lamp and crossed
over 10 the north track, expecting that the
tram was ON the other tack a. usual. He
must have been looking in the opposite
direction al the time, for the engine struck
him in the back and threw him about tven-
ty-five feet He was picked up and taken 10
his residence, near by, and being then alive
Dr. ID. Ii. Street was called but he could do
but little, AS his injuries were such as to
cause death in less than an hour. Besides
The injuries, in the back there was a cut on
The head. The deceased was somewhere in
the neighborhood OF 50 years Of age, and
resided with his family near the place where
he met the fatal injuries. The Coroner, DR..
Patterson was summoned this NOR ming

Mr.. Talbert. of Baltimore county. Md. was
introduced. and in his speecf claimed that
Il 1ilden and HendrickS were elected fairly and
squarely receiving 2n3 electoral votes. He
claimed that the contested states making mn
~ electoral votes had each given "a fair demo-
crauc majority. and that the only intimida-
lion was by the republicans tn the democrats
especially the cOlOred democrats They had
quite forgotten Oregon and he defended the
recent action OF the governor. Applying the
rule adopted a. 10 the south how could they
go behind the certificate and 3Ir. Ti!den will

there are enough patriots in MARYLAND and
The District of Columbia 10 sweep 10 from the

bald and determined front and when these
republicans see il they will not attempt 10

THE 6J PER CENT. RECLA-
 NATION.

In order that the matter may be fresh in the minds of those officials whose duty it is to push the matter, we again advert to the fact that there is considera blc reclamation of tax money paid to A. s. Fowler in 1872, due the people of Pope county. This matter has been permitted to re- main unsettled too long already. The money has been withheld from needy men about three years already, and if there is any regard paid to the rights of the sufferers, this matter will be brought to a final settlement at next week S term of Circuit Court. As we understand it the only thing now in the way of settlement is the pending injunction case against Fowler. With that settled, the aggricved parties can then bring their claims against Fowler and his securities. Let this. matter have the attention which justice demands at the approaching term of our circuit court.

That Dover Pic Mic Again.
 DOVER, May 11th, 1876.
To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:

To the editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 We see in your issue of today, a letter from Mir. John c. Rye, of this place signing himself as SUI perintcndent of our sunday school. Had he simply signed his name to the article, we would not have felt called upon to answer it, but as he signs himselfin his of ficial capacity, many may suppose that he expresses the sentiments of the entire school, which is not the case. Nor do we wish our friends who were with us at our May Day pie nic to suppose so.
 Ii any one eat his dinner "the second time" we are glad of it, as we had plenty for all, and we are glad they enjoyed it. But that man who eat two dinners, we think lives only in the imagina- tion of the superintendent.
 As to the dance that came off in the court house in the after noon, we have this to say, that if there were drunken men there, we did not see them, and some of us were about the court house all the time. And furthermore, they danced at the court housp. which they had perfect right to do. They did net dance on the pie nic grounds and did not disturb any one there in any wise, and the dancing did not commence until after the pie nic was over. And furthermore we think the re- marks of Mr. Rye are entirely un- called for, and calculated to mis- lead people who are not acquaint- ed with him or the citizens of Do yer, and those to whom he refers in his remarks. Therefore we do sincerely hope that our friends visiting us on that day will not hold our sunday school or the peo- pie of Dover responsible for the letter of Mir. Rye.

From Sulphur Springs.

SULPHUR STRINGS, May f, 1876. To the editor of the DEMocRAT:
 About three years ago l had a fin, young apple orchard; in the spring the rabbits began to peel them, and to prevent the destruct- ion of my orchard, l mixed tar andss grease in equal proportions and coated about half the trees; 1; this stopped the rabbits, and l thought 1 was certain to have plenty of fruit, but 1 soon found a worse pest than the rabbit; the tar ruflled the b TX and left den for insects, and to day there is only eight out of forty alive that was coated, while those that re- ceived no tar looks finely. A small flat headed worm seems to breed in the tree near thu ground and finally cut the tree so that the wind will break them off at or near the ground. Don't drive stobs near the tree, they will cause the wood lice to damage them. I consider tar q certain death to young trees.
 We had a white frost in the vally on the morning of the 3d in 't; but little damage done.
 Farmers should look well to their hogs for there is a fine pros pect for q sweet mast this year.

MORTGAGES.

A word of caution in regard to buying on mortgages, whether It be acceptable or not, may not be out of place just at this time. There IS nothing wrong, per SC, in giving mortgage to secure your merchant for supplies or goods advanced. This is all right, and the merchants cannot be blamed for wanting some as surance of receiving his pay. The danger against which we would caution those who buy on mort gages, is the tendency to buy too much. We have had some eXpe- ricncc, and we know men will buy.a great deal more when they are getting goods and supplies on time, than when they pay the cash right down for them. It IS no uncommon thing for small far mers to say, "well $50, $75 or $l0C will be all l want, and l will just give you mortgage for, say SlOo l know that will cover all shalI want" When pay day comes and the account is cast up it IS generally about twice as large as our small farmer placed his wants at. Now instead of buying more when we get credit, we should buy less, for credit always costs something. We caution those who have to buy on mortgages t' purchase only what their necessi ties actually demand. Catch Ill once, and be the slave of th' mortgage system no !oASe..

tLe situation is the stubborn per sistency with which some good democrats lug the currency issue into the campaign. They seem by their actions and words to say that they would rather see the Democratic ticket defeated in the approaching campaign, and re- lnand the country into the hands of the present party who have plunged our finances into their existing condition, than to drop their greenback hobby for long enough time to march in . solid phalanx to the polls in November after the party which alone is responsible for the gold interest bearing, non taxable bonds is de feated and routed from place and power, then will be time enough for the democrats to attempt to doctor the currency.
 If Tlldcn secures the nomina- ton at St. Louis there is but one thing winch will prevent the dem ocrats from making a successful campaign; and that is the preju- dices of these fanatical greenback men. To keep step and march steadily forward under the ban ner of Democracy, ill the wake of whatever standard bearers the St. Louis convention may furnish us is the first duty of democrats. After a democratic president is inaugurated the greanback hobby may again be mounted.

THE BOONE co. ROAD.

Two weeks ago we appealed to our citizens to take some steps to commence operations on this road, and VIC asked some ones who would give prestige to the move mcnt to initiate the matter by proposing some plan of operations. We have as yet had no response. Since then we have seen and talk ed with several men of some prominence from those counties. They are anxious to get q road to the l.. k. & Ft. s. Ky, and they want to know what we are willing to do toward it without further delay, for they say they must have an outlet to the south. Now, we know that our citizcus favor this road and realize its advantages as much as we do. Every sone to whom we talk on the subject is warm 'ad- vocate off All seem willing to do something toward putting the road through.
 This is good, but gentlemen, don't you know that good will will not build the road unless it is accompanied by action? Time is slipping by, and the first thing you know the summer will be gone, another crop will be gath cred and ready for market and there vii. still be no road from the counties north of us to this place. If we are ever going to do anything to try to extend the trafic of our town into a broader scope ot country now IS the tune. It will cost no more now-noJ as much-as it will to talk about it two or three years more without doing anything. live are going to do anything in the premises, let's % to work and do it; if not let's say so and quit wasting breath talking about it, for talk amounts to nothing; you may try talk for the next twenty years, just as you have done for the last two, and you will find no more ac- complished than you have accom- plished by your last two years l talk

KEEP STEP.

It will now be but few weeks more until the assembling of the National Democratic Convention at St. Louis. As yet it is uncer- tain who that convention will give us for standard bearer during the Presidential Campaign. There has been q plentiful offering of names for the position, and the names have all been such as to inspire the belief that whoever may be selected, all good demo- crats can rally to the standard without any regrets or misgiyings. Any one of the names mentioned in connection with the Presiden- tial nomination-Hendricks, Til den, Thurman or Bayard-would furnish standard bearer, in whose patriotism, integrity and ability the rank and fife of the party could place implicit conf dcnce. Any ono of these names could lead the campaign to glo- rious and victorious conquest; provided, all the time, that there is no dissention in the ranks of the party. There are democrats enough in the United States there are honest men enongh in the United States, who are tired of the fraud, abuse, and profliga- cy of the administration party, to elect the ticket put out by the St. Louis Convdntion, with either of these gentlemen at its head. The great point in the coming campaign is to secure a change in the admluistraJion-to put out the present incumbent party and install D new one. To place the administration in the hands of the Democratic party is the first step toward the reform for whicl, democrats have contcnded during the present regime. To accom-. plish this purpose is the first duty of every democrat in oul
 broad land. Minor issues must
 be submerged in this great prime object. To effect this the whol,
 army of the democrats must keel
 step. There must be no strag ling to the rear after side issues
 There must be no wrangling Il the ranks over minor details o policy. To shape the policy o a Democratic administration vii
 be the work to which we will tnrl
 oui attention after we have sue ceedcd Tn securing democratic regime.

 A. M. GIBSON.

Elsewhere we make room for another call upon this getleman to announce whether or not he will be candidate for rcpresenta- tive. As there seems to be a question as to Mir. G's. candidacy, we think it is incumbent upon him to state in unequivocal terms whether or not he desires to en- ter the race for this office. If he is to be candidate his friends wish to know it; if he is not to be a candidate, it is due other gentle men who are aspirants for the same office, that he say so. If MT. C.. has no notion of entering ing the race, it is hardly justice to other aspirants for him to al low the impression to exist that perhaps he may be 9 candidate; ; he should now give frank free answer, and put the question of his candidacy at rest either one way or the other.

Letter from Pleasant Grove.

PLEASANT GROVE, May 9th, 1876. To the editor of the DEMoCRAr:
 Old Father Winter, with his, Eoary locks has packed his trunk and picked up his hat and fled to the snow clad hills of Canada, or the arctic boundary of our hcmis- phere. Everything animate and inanimate seems to cry out Fare well father Winter! We arc glad thou art gone! Business with the farmers has set in in earnest. Wheat crops look better than they have since the war. You knew everything dates back to the war ]. Farmers are working their corn which l am glad.tn say has been planted in sufficient. quantity to supply home demands. So you see there will be no corn shipped to this part next season; however, there seems to be Il large area of cotton planted ill this section. The farmers seem to be determined to raise enough of the tleecy staple to free them from taat imposing tyrant Debt.
 learn that on Thursday the 4th inst, MT. J. l.. Bynum late of Geo, who has been working for Mr. A. NJ. Gibson was killed d. most instantly by frightened horses running away with a wag on as he was riding home on the running gear. The wagon como uncouplcd throwing him in front on the double-tree, thus irightcn. ing the horses. 1 learn that Mr. Bynum had won the appreciation of his employer by his industry. We regret the loss of such men. Industrious and honest men make friends wherever they go. "Fricndslip and Virtue" says Pope, ''are the only things that are meritorious."
