"THE Baltimore Gazette says that the
local politics of Baltimore have gotten
into such muddle as TO fill every decent
citizen with disgust at the daily work of
the self-constituted leaders,"
Just how much the Gazette did tow
ard getting up "such muddls," is a
proper question for that paper to examine
at its leisure. We cannot see how the
Democrats of Baltimore are likely To
fail in coming cut of the "muddle,'
however, with clean, clear majority

PLON-PLoN REFUSES TO ACCEPT

LONDON, July 14.-The Morning
Post, in its issue of to-day, publishes
the following son Saturday the ex-
Empress Eugene sent message to
Prince Napoleon saying she would re-
ceive him, also his two SONS, the Princes
Victor and Louis, and the Princess Ma
thilde, al the conclusion of the funeral
services at st. Mary's Church. Upon
leaving church the Prince was seen TO
entee into an animated discussion with
the Princess Mathilde. The latter at its
termination proceeded to Camden place,
while the Prince hurried into carriage
saying a Londresr taking his sons with
him. Ills reason for thus refusing to
obey the Empress wishes is difficult tt

/ MR.. GuTHRIE may not find it 'iabor
In vain,y TO try to convince the Reput-
lican Of its systematic unfairness and
adroit ma aruvres to avoid the admls-
zion Of the truth. But he will fail, new
srtheless, in getting an open admission
from that paper that the policy OF the
Democrats in the City Council is either
correct or intended purposely to serve
the public interest. 1t is "dyed In the
wool" in Radical partizanship and as
well might the Chairman of the Finance
Committee expect the ethiopian to
change his skin,or the leopard his spots,
as to expect the Republican to admit
that the Democrats were intent on do
ing right. But Mr.. Guthrie's statement
published elsewhere, will be read with
pleasures by all parties for all that.

From the Republican.
"Whatever may be said derogatory to
the manner in which Mr.. Lynch secured
his election as street Commissioner, there
is no disputing his competency to I'LL the
Office with credit to himself and TO The
city,"
Now since the bitterest political oppo-
nent of Col. Lynch's election says there
is "no disputing his competency" and
even before his election affirmed its salts
faction with his conduct as member OF
the City Council and the excellence OF
his private character what more could be
asked? May we not all conclude that the
CITY Council has done well in elecIing
the Colonel to his Office. There can be
no reflection on others IN asking that all
shall be content with this decision. Nor
can we conceive of there being any more
lack of honor in a Conscientious vote for
ones self than there is in canvassing the
community for votes and recommends
tions, especially when many who do sc
feel and know they are not fullyquali
fed for the duties Of the office that ma!

There is a great deal of manly gallant

will Of the Prince Imperial, which is now
made public. Under other circumstances
we probably should have smiled at the
earnestness with which he asserts the

an element of pathos to the boys ambi-

COOKING BY GAS.- ue w liIiiiuStoh |
Coal Gas Company are advertising gas |
cook stove for sale that should attract
the attention of housekeepers; especially
those who have small families who feel
the need of bringing economy to the aid |
of pleasant housewifery, and to effect a
revolution in the kitchen whereby the
wife or mistress is not debarred the
choice Of brief visits to it during the hot
summer months. Those who would like
to see these stoves in operation should
call at the office of the gas company
where four specimens of d iierent sizes
are now arranged for operation with a
view TO exhibition and the sale of stoves.
The Company desire persons to call and
the stove will be shown with due and
careful courtesy. So many wives desire
to superintend their own cooking that
these stoves should find no difficulty in
being Introduced to general use, if the
expense were not in the way. And this
we are assured by the President OF the
economical view. The price of the stove
seems very low, and is no bar to their
use. One that will roast, bake and
boil two gallon pots at the same time
only costs SIT and consumes "a feet of
gas per hour. Another size that will do
almost as much costs 50; and smaller
sizes still sell for ST. 1t costs but a
trifie to put them in your house. We
presume a fair breakfast or tea could b,
gotten in half an hour. SO that it woul,
seem to be very cheap, only cents. Fo
the use Of these stoves in the day tim
the Company propose To furnish gas a
81 so per 1000 feet. We may be mis-
taken, but we can hardly believe tia
our best housekeepers would be withou
one of these stoves single summer
they could be convinced that they col
sumo no more gas than we have state
upon the authority of the President {
the Wilmington Coal Gas Compan.
The Company is the agent for their salt
and advertise them in another column
1t has been said that gas could be mad
and given away, the sale of the refus
for fuel paying all expenses. If TIL;
time should come in this city, gas stoy
vendors would no doubt find there wei
millions in the business. We are tol
that several influential ladies of wealt
and refinement who have purchase
these stoves are delighted with then
and would not be without them. w
are not writing in the interests of I'll
Gas Company, and refer to this matte
for comfort and economy of the reade
The only objection We see to the stove
the cost of the gas, and of that the pu
chaser must be the judge. But at 81
per 1000 feet we feel sure that any lad
may, with economy, rid her house of Il
great heat consequent upon the use of
coal fire al least five days in the week.

THE readers OF the newspapers are
daily shocked at the horrid crimes re-
ported from all sections of the country,
and it is not surprising that people should
sometimes indulge the fear that the pro-
gress toward morality had stopped and
that the influence Of evil had the as
tendency. That this is not the case,
however, the reader may soon convince
himself by carefully looking back upon

San east bound freight train on the
U, P.-was approaching the Camp Car
lin switch, a short distance west of the
depot, the engineer, Mr.. Olmstead, no
ticed a freight car on the track a little
ahead of him. In an instant he had
the brakes applied and the engine re-
versed, just managing to a v the train.
1t appears that an empty car had been
started on the down grade from Camp
Carlin, and it failed to stop until it
reached Sthe main track. To the engi-
neer's sharp lookout is undoubtedly
due the safety of the train and the
probable saving of life, as the night
was very dark and the road considered
free Of distractions.

THE GOVERNORS LECTURE.


A very fair audience assembled at the
Methodist church last evening to hear
Gov. Hoyt deliver his lecture on "a
Glimpse Of the British ISLE" AT the
appointed hour Rev. Mr.. Gillian arose
and said the entertainment would COM
mence by a quartette, which was ex-
ceedingly well rendered by Mrs. Cow
hick, Miss Slaughter, Messrs. Human
and Jenkins-Miss Clara Graham pre-
siding at the organ in a very creditable
manner-after which Mr.. Grafton sang
a ballad entitled 'Jennie, the Bride Of
Kildare" affording much pleasure
thereby.
Gov. Hoyt then stepped to the front,
and in a clear, well modulated voice,
commenced by giving a resume of the
early history of the Inhabitants of what
are now known as the ''British Isles, -
which he condensed into a very inter-
esting prologue; then he took his audi
ence in imagination with him, stopping
at Queenstown for a change of mail;
he described the lIarbor and the city,
and then started for Liverpool. where
he spoke of the immense amount OF
shipping, the vast commercial interests
of the place, the solidity Of its archi.
lecture, ETC.. thence he got aboard the
train, when he deliberately portrayed
their elegant system of railways; he
pointed out the agricultural beau.

About a week since it became our
duty to chronicle the effects of a storm
that prevailed along the Union Pacific
line from Hillsdale to the North Platte.
On Thursday evening this locality
was visited by another but more terri
BILE storm, which did damage to a far
greater extent. Late in the even
ing our citizens stood in groups on the
streets, watching the lightning darting
about the brooding, angry looking
clouds that lay one to the northeast
and one directly east The lightning
flew about like great ribbons of fire
from N edge of the cloud to the other,
to lie answered by a similar flash a mo-
ment or two after from its vicious
neighbor-cloud. The telegraph and the
arrival of this mornings early trains
brought the story.
The storm commenced about eleven
O'Clock at Hillsdale, travelling eastward,
gathering force as it went, reached
Sidney about two O'Clock a. m., but
had not reached its full force then, and
did not until in the neighborhood OF
Alkali, a small station on the track,
where it demolished things in a lively
manner. The train boys say il was
warm enough at Sidney, for it deluged
the town, leaving some three feet OF
water on the streets, and making the
inhabitants imagine that their last houl
had come.
An employe on a train that was
caught in a hail squirt on the outer rim
Of the storm, caught a bucket full Of
the hail that fell and brought it into
Cheyenne, and Notwithstanding several
hours interviewed before the train
reached this city, the hailstones were
as large as duck eggs, crystalline and
as hard as marble. A detailed account
of the damage done has not been re.
ceived, but when it is remembered thai
such missiles as those described fell
over a section two miles wide, somt
idea of the destruction can be obtained,
The trains east of Alkali were detained
some eighteen hours, to permit work,
men to erect temporary crossings ovel
the places washed out.
