The Hagerstown Herald 81 Torch
says The corn fields never looked
more promising than they do this
season. With favorable weather we
may expect a large crop, which to
gether with the heavy yield Of wheat
will make money easy with the
farmers and give an impetus to
trade. In the mean time old corn
is high, has already reached $l.l0
and may go higher. It undoubtedly
will, if the report from Chicago of a
corner in corn is true The farmers
must have corn to feed at almostany
price, especially as oats are short"
The Hagerstown Herald Dc Torch
says: An unusually distressing acct
dent, which in the end proved fatal,
occurred TO Edwin Cunningham, a
fourteen year old boy employed at
fertilizing works Of Huyett and
Schindel. Young Cunningham at
tempted to adjust belt, which bad
become detached from its pully on
the line shaft, while the machinery
was in motion He had been pre-
viously cautioned against this, as it
is considered a dangerous operation
On the present occasion one Of the
hands called to the boy to stop, but
before he could get away the betting
was thrown against him and he was
carried around the shaft three times
and each time striking against tim
beers above. His left foot was torn
from his leg which was terribly
mangled and his left arm torn off at
the shoulder in the three revolutions
of the shaft, when the body Of the
insensibIe boy was hurled to the roof
of the building, from whence he fell
heavily to the floor. 1t may be i'm
agined that after this terrible ex-
perience there was little nope of re-
covery. After lingering about seven
hours he died.

A SAD and distressing accident
occurred at Siding Hill, on the B.
& O. railroad on Wednesday, in
which a father lost his life in trying
to save that Of his child Mr. VIM.
Clay is watchman employed by the
company at that point, and the
house in which he resides with his
family stands near the road The
child had gotten on the track just as
No. IA passenger train was approach
ing and running to make up time.
The fathers attention was drawn TO
the danger of the littleone, and with
a desperate effort he attempted TO
save its life, by taking the child in
his arms aud springing across the
track, but too late, the train over
taking him and both were killed.
Mr.. Linthicum, the engineer, did
all in his power to avert the calami-
ty. but it was beyond human power
to do so. Mr.. Clay was esteemed as
one of the most faithful watchmen
along the line OF the road and was
much respected. He leaves a wife
in a most delicate condition, who
has the heartfelt sympathy of every
one in her deep affection.

Washington, 2S.-The Senate finance
committee does not like the schedule pre-
pared ty the ways and means committee
on sugar. It does not seem to senator's
to be much Of an improvement on the
report of the tariff commisson, which was
out of all keeping with the revised list.
They have reduced the rate fixed by the
Commission on high grades, which we
import but very little, and have left it
practically unchanged on coarser sugars,
which are mainly imported for use in
refneries. There seems 10 be a great
difference of opinion as to what reduc-
ton was actually recommended by the
commission. Some of the ways and
means committee maintain that upon
lower grades it is 10 per cent, while
mem ers Of the Senate finance committee
declared it is less than per cent. The
course OF this singular discrepancy may
be traced to change OF basis for impo-
sition to regulate The standard regulated
by color fixes the duty, while the come
mission has recommended the test defined
by the polariscope. There promises to
be good deal Of difficulty in arriving at
a settlement Of the question of sugar
duties.

RTahoue1apd Beck.

Washington. 23.-The Senate WAS sur
nrised st the appearance Of Malone as q
fiOure in the civil service reform debate.
His speech was written one. He denies
that he bad caused more than four clerks
to be turned out of the department.
When he made this assertion excltediy
DENYING many stories charging him
with manipulation of departments, the
Senate was very quiet. Beck Vas lean
ing upon his desk in front of him, and
groaned outright at Mshone's denial. So
loud and insulting was this groan, that
it made q sensation. It was an insult to
the dignity of the Senate. Beck ap-
peared very much ashamed of what he
had done. Several democratic senators
spoke very sharply to him about it and
he claimed that he groaned inadvert-
emily. Before Malone finished Beck
and he had very sharp encounter.
Beck recited some charges of last fall in
the face of Mahone's denial. Fignlly
Malone challenged him to 60 with him
before the judiciary committee
and investigate the whole subject
of Virginia politics, crying out II will
90 there with yeu, and thence damned
be he who cries hold. enough"
This very cheap bit of defamation was
construed by some of the groundlings IS
Haunting Of the code. Some feeble
minded brethren tried to make sensa-
ten Of it, but with poor success. Ma
hone might as we'll have asked Beck to
go with him to the Supreme Court. The
Judiciary committee have enough to do
without going into Virginia politics.
There are sensational stories in circuls-
tion tonight about hostile meeting, but
there is little doubt but that the battle
will end in words. Beck told Malone
that he did not want to fight, and that
under the codes provisions it prevents
anything further in the matter. The
truth is that Beck regards the whole
affair Of little importance. He is q
Scotchmsn, and though brave as lion
he ia too good natured to indulge in pis.
toll practice. Neither is there any dis
putting the personal bravery of Malone.
He was one of the Aercsst confederate
generals, but they won't meet anywhere
except in the Senate.

Clubs.

New York. 2S There Is talk Of
another first class club to be organized
Immediately to meet the present great
demand for Admittsnce into existing
clubs. Club men generally were little
surprised the other day when it was an
nounced that the Knickerbocker Club
had admitted d. o. Mills, Of Wall
street. Mr.. Mills is very unexcertional
gentleman, and thu only ground for sur
prise was that the Knickerboeker has
fought shy of admitting any Of the Wall
street element. This club is an offsheot
of the Union Club and it originated in
the distaste with which some ofthe mem
bers viewed the large influx Of Wall
street operators, who when they came
into the rooms devoted themselves
mainly to talking shop" and to turning
the rooms into beer garden. Enough
members seeded to organize theKnicker-
booker.
