RAILROAD.
RAILROAD PROJECT.

lSAiIAhOAD tROJECI.
Some time ago a special committee was
appointed by the Mayor to visit the Man
ayers of the c. r. 1. & P, at Chicago, with
a view of requesting that the road make a
new depot in this city, somewhere in the
vicinity of the one occupied by the Rock
Island & Peoria The committee consists
of Messrs Robinson, Dart, Lynde, Rosen-
field, Harper and Lundy. The members
have had several informal meetings, but
have been delayed from making the trip to
Chicago, by the high water and other i'm
portant matters.
1t is not probable that the committee
will visit Chicago before the first of next
month.
REACHING OUT.
The Chicago Journal says:
A prominent railroad man informed q
reporter yesterday that it is understood the
Rock Island and Pacific is'making active
preparation 10 place itself IN direct business
relations with the great Northwest; and
that as soon as the Council Bluffs line was
completed the Rock Island Company
would, in self defense, to secure what it
claims as its share of business, take such
stand as will make its advent into Minnea-
polls and st. Paul feature in railroad
history
RECEIVERS REPORT.
0. r. Glover, receiver for the Chicago,
Rockford and Northern Railroad Company,
has filed a report in the United States Court
setting out that in July, 1880, an order was
made in the case of Campbell against the
company, directing that the Chicago and
Iowa Railroad Company should, until
further order, furnish the rolling stock for
and operate the Chicago, Rockford and
Northern road, and collect and receive all
the earnings, under an agreement between
the Rockford road, the Chicago and Iowa,
and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Mr.. Glover has, under this arrangement, re-
ceived from w. III. Holcomb, receiver of the
Chicago and Iowa, $14, 30, on account
of the 25 per cent. of the earnings of the
Rockford road, and the 90 per cent of the
earnings of the Chicago and Iowa road on
joint business between June 1, 1880, and
December 81, 1880. He has paid out for
current expenses, attorneys fees, and court
costs, $6,s96.o8, leaving balance of
S7,299.12 on hand. Judge Drummond

Poisoned ellis.

Mr. EdStOr Not being resident of
Rockville it may seem somewhat oflicious
10 draw attention again to the possibility of
sanitary defects, but the position SO unex-
pectedly conferred upon me president of
the Board of Health of the county, must
plead my excuse, apart from my great inter
est in our county seat IL is now n pleasant
and attractive village, and may, and do1bt-
less will be made beautiful one The first
requisite, however, is TO guard jealousy its
reputation as to health. With its high stu
alton, fresh air and pure water (when un-
defiled) man, only, can make ii unhealthy,
by ignorance or carelessness. The good
sense Of its citizens has no doubt taken
steps to abate the pig pen nuisance com
planned Of in the county papers, but death
and disease come in an insidiOus form, often
unsupported, through contaminated drink
ing water In order TO draw attention to
this, quote an article showing how prompt
ly action was taken in New Haven, one of
the most healthfu and beautiful cities in our
country. II is the seat Of Yale College and
Of large manufacturing interests and suspi-
cion, even, of unhealthfulness would affect
its prosperity seriously. Can Rockville af-
ford 10 be less careful One human life sac
rificed where it might have been saved would
be a heavy penalty to pay for want of care.
1t is possible that the people of Mont
gomery are already aware of the dangers
resulting from having ccss-poos, pig pens,
stable and barn yards and other breeders of
disease situated so that the drainage could
flow into wells and springs used for drink
ing purposes. II would only he wise, how
ever, for each one to give thought To the sub
ject, and take prompt action il necessary.
"New Haven has Abandoned five hundred
wells because Of their nearness 10 sinks and
cess.pools. There are many Of the smaller
cities that might follow the example of New
Iaven--towns and villages where the wells
and the sewers are just "a close together, and
where the same danger is 10 be apprehended
from poisoned water. Still the majority of
people think the matter unworthy of attcn-

Tournament "A tournament ana

Tournament "A tournament and fcte-
champctre were held ON the grounds all
joining Carroll Chapel, near Forest Glen
Station, in this county, on Tuesday aud
Wednesday last The tournament on We'd
ncsday was largely attended by residents Of
the county and large excursion party from
Washington City. The fitting, which was
spirited, occupied couple of hours in the
afternoon, and at its conclusion the corona
ton ceremonies took place. The charge 10
the knights was delivered by Hon. George
Peter, who also delivered the coronation al

on Montgomery avenue have disappeared,

deserve the thanks of the citizens and the
lasting gratitude Of the travelling public for
the thorough manner they are having the
work performed. And while on this sub
ject We would caution some Of our unthink-

posits are not only repulsiye TO sight, but
