OFFICE OF STPREME DICTATOR,
Boston, April 10, 1879. {
To all Grand and Subordanate Lodgee,
greeting:
1t is with great satisfaction that the
Supreme Officers submit the following
statement relative to the Widows
and Orphans Benefit Fund It is
we'll known that a large number of
deaths occurred in our ranks from vel
low fever during the Yast year.
Aside from this cause we suffered an
unusually heavy death rate during
the past year. Up to July, 1878, cur
deaths had never numbered over
twenty-one in any month.
In the month of July the MINI
Der of deaths was 80 II August, from
yellow fever, 33, otbor causea 81.
In September, yellow fever, Ito, other
causes 80. In October, yellow fever,
AZ, other causes SO. In November,
yellow fever s, other causes Ri. To-
tai from yellow fever, 1913, other ca,ls-
es, l43.
Making the tosal deaths IRON 81
causes In the period OF hVe months,
three hundred and thlrty-slx' and re-
qairing the sum Of 100000 to meet
the calls upon the W. y .. l.. Fund,
an amount greater than had ,eon
dlsbursed from this fund from the be-
ginning OF the Oraer, five years pre-
vlous.

The NEW RA1LRoAD-A Byanc1

The NEW RAILRoAD-A Branch
to F1ostbs~g.-In conversation yes
terday with a prominent coal opera
tor and stakeholder in the new Cum
berland and Georges Greek railroad
we learn that the road will assuredly
be built. All the necessary prelini-
nary steps have been taken, and a
foundation for work 80 solidly laid
that nothing short of the improbable
or superhuman will stop it.
It was also stated that a branch
would be laid to Frostburg, though
this had not been determined by any
formal action. Our distinguished in
formant thought it would be uncom-
mercial to pass city like Frostburg
without stopping and affording her
business people advantages equal to
those given to other places in the re-
gion. Indeed, mutual interest would
compel the branch to Frostburg.
Upon the completion of this enter
prise brilliant future is predicted for
the region and the city of Cumber-
land. By securing favorable connec-
tions with the Pennsylvania railroad
in Maryland it has enlisted directly
in our interest vast power hitherto
liberal and sagacious patron of our
most formidable rival-Clearfeld.

With total loss more than double
that of any other like beneficiary So
ciety, we have paid in full every ben
eft caused by the epidemic, and prov
ed to the world the ability of our Or
ganization to successfully meet the
severest trial. This work has been
done with hardly more than the usu-
al number of suspensions, and though
our growth was temporarily checked
by the extraordinary demand upon
it's resources, a rapid increase is now
taking place all over the country, and
we now number at least fifty thous-
and members.
These events have proved the Wis
dom of our system of one general jur-
isdiction , for the Widows and Or
phans' Fund, and the efficiency of
our laws for the government of the
Order. No extra judicial measures
have been necessary to meet the emer-
gency, and all consultation required
between the Supreme Officers has
BEEN carried on by letter.
Aside from the payment Of death
benefits, about $4,000 was contrib
uted voluntarily for the relief of the
living, who were in want and suffer
ing by reason of the epidemic.
In this record every Knight of
Honor may take a just pride. 1t
places us in the front rank as & great
benevolent and business institution,
and secures future of untold useful
ness for our beloved Order.

The flank movemant made on Mr..
McCardell by the German PEOPLE
last week is the prominent theme of
discussion in political circles. 1t was
a we'll known fact that Mr.. McCar-
dell's strength lay with the people,
and if he could have come before the
primaries it would have been almost
impossible to beat him; you cam
electioneer against man simply be-
earse you don't like him. The move
then was to strangle him quietly
without any great hue and cry.
Therefore, his decapitation was rele-
gated to the city executive committee,
in general way friends of McCar-
dell, though controlled, | fancy, by
the canal people in any square issue
as between McCardell and them. So
the fight will bo made in tbs conven-
ton, and it will be exceedingly bit
ter. The McCardell people claim
that they can control the convention
anyhow and will nominate their man.
The canal people are working
theoretically for Mr. Thomas Griffin,
who, it is claimed, will have a strong
personal following outside Of his
merely party vote. There are other
complications which ! defer till next

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Baltimore Letter.
Especial correspondence to the JOURNAL
BALTIMORE, April 6, 1879.

Especial correspondence to the JoURNAL.]
BALTIMORE, April 6, 1879.
May has opened clear and bright
in the city and the weather SO far has
been beautiful but nothing has occur
red to disturb the monotony of the
staid and quiet city. The first of
May is not here as in some other
large cities, particularly New York,
great moving day; people here are
not 80 fond of the troubles and vexa
tions of life as to add to them by
moving often and it is not an infre-
quent thing to know of a family rent
ing the same house and occupying it
for a great number of years. The
flowers in the woods and gardens are
a little backward this season, so there
was not 80 much "going a MaHing"
as usual, but the grass in the parks
and the green trees are making the
city look beautiful.
Frederick Douglas lectured here
the other evening to colored people,
although quite a large number Of
whites went to hear him. He smoke
very feelingly about the exodus Of
the negroes from the South and adj
vised his brethren here, who are, how
ever, not afflicted with the moving
mania, to stay at home and support
themselves and families and never
trust themselves, without money and
in rags, to their Northern hreth-
ren, who are considered to be only
theoretical philanthropists, the Kind
whose zeal in the cause becomes cool
er the nearer they come to the OBJ
iects of their pity. The words of
Fred..Douglas should have been heard
all through the South, so the negroes
could weigh the matter we'll after
hearing the testimony of enc of
their own race, and above all such a
man as Douglas, to whom they are so
willing to listen.
The principal sport INDUCED in now
is gudeeon-f fishing; and during the
last few years this has become. such a
popular amusement and pleasure that
especial accommodations are HOW pro-
vided, near the streams Whare the
little fish are to be found, Tor gudgeon
fishers, who attend in large r'.ns ers
every day. The Relay House on the
Washington Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is the most popu-
lar place for finding gudgeoas and
the ride is so short, and so little time
consumed in getting there that it is
remarkably pleasant. Gudgeoas are
very small fish, not hard to catch and
it is no unusual thing for twenty or
thirty dozens to be hooked IN a f~w
hours they have but few bones and
these are so small that they a,o gen
orally eaten and nothing is more pal-
atable than a gudgeoh-breakfost or
supper. LADIES as well as gentlemen
enjoy the sport and some aa very
successful in angling. The season
lasts so short time that everybody
land their sisters, and cousins and
aunts" go and crowd into the small
space of time as much enjoyment and
as many fish as possible.

Recognizing the fact that the relation
ship existing between the Counties of
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion to visit the City frequently dur
ing the year; in consideration of these
facts and the liberal patronage extended
the "Maltby" in the past deem it but
matter of justice that some discrimination
should be made in their favor. I have
therefore concluded to
Reduce the Price of Board to 50 a day
feeling confident that the same will be fully

merit and secure an increased share of
their patronage. Assuring them that

The Democratic Party Gone Astray
Hartford lCOnnl TimeSl

The Democratic party was strong under
the policy and administration of Jack
son. 1t is always strong when standing
on solid constitutional ground, the rights
of the States and the people, and the
powersof the Federal Government strictly
maintained, with a sound basis for the
currency, leaving tine people in their Or
dinary avocations a. free and untram-
eled us possible. In short, while maintain
ing sound principles and the doctrines of
truly free Government, the Democratic
party is always strong. But when it de-
parts from this position and strays away
among quicksands to please individual
opinions, or cater to some selfish organi-
zation, it becomes weaker. As Jefferson
said, let us put the good ship upon the
right tack.

The question is, we to repudiate
our debts and swindle our creditors be-
cause other States, North Or South, may
have thus corrupted their morals and dis
honored their names by doing 50? This
is, indeed, a very grave and vital question
for the people of our grand old State to
consider, and finally to determine at the
ballot-box on the 4th of November.
Public dishonesty and repudiation seem
to be rapidly growing in the land, and in
some quarters and by some parties, even
here on tine sacred soil of Virginia, they
are unblushingly taught. Unless the
brand of ignominy he at once and for
ever placed on the corrupt teachings of
these dangerous demagogues, both indi-
vidual and State honesty and credit will
be entirely destroyed

cars that the latter consented to buy for
about half its value this precious brick,
from confessed murderer, who alleged
