Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Meet
ing.

The regular monthly meeting of
the directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company was held at
Camden Station yesterday. The
president in some appropriate re-
marks announced the death of Mr..
Samuel Kirby, who had been direc-
tor for nearly twenty years consecu-
lively. Resolutions offered by Col.
Nicholas and seconded by Col. Walsh
were adopted, recommended by the
chief officers Of the company and
committees of the board for an an
nual inspection of the property of
the company and the award of mon
ey premiums to specified officers of
the road, transportation and machi-
merry departments on the Main Stem,
branches and divisions of the most
effective and judicious management,
as shown by the improved condition
of the tracks, stations, machinery,
DC. The various guarantees of the
act of the last session of the General
Assembly of Maryland Incorporating
the Employees Relief Association
were authorized. Under this act
powers have been conferred on the
society for system of deposits from
employees under guarantee ofthe Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad company,
thus creating savings fund, and for
the purpose of making from this fund
loans to employees to assist them in
the purchase and improvement of
homesteads.
President Garrett made a state.
ment of his recent trip to the West,
in effect that he found all lines of the
company much improved and prac-
ticaly prepared for increased busi-
ness. He said there is an intense
desire in the West for competing
points on the seabOard. In referring
to the general policy of the company
in abolising the system of middle
men and doing all its own business.
Mr.. Garrett mentioned its express
and independent telegraph. He said
the Western Union claiming to rep
resent capital SSO,OOO.0OO and at
tempting to grasp the whole busi-
nes of the country, was most unde-
sirable monopoly. A new cable com
pany will be formed, probably with
the title. Baltimore and Ohio and
European Cable Company" to COM
bine with the land system of the Bal
timore and Ohio telegraph lines. Mr..
Garrett also said the investigators
connected with the subject of differ
entail rates have demonstrated and
made generally known the enormous
geographical advantages of Baltimore
and the great fact has been proven
that through its cheap coal which
literally crops out at so many points
upon its lines, the Baltimore and
Ohio road had for many years trans
ported and could continue to trans
port merchandise at a less cost per ton
per mile than the New York roads,

A Reform Convention.

One day a lobster who had been
beaten at old sledge went over to see
the Shark about it, and the two Door
souls talked 1t over, and finally de-
cioed to call a reform convention.
A call was " ritten out, signed "many
citizens" and duly posted, so that all
might read. When the day arrived it
brought the Shark, the Lobster. the
Devil-fish, the Wolf, the Tiger. the
Eagle, the Serpent and the Alligator,
and it was really affecting to see their
tears as they shook hands and spoke
Of the painful necessity that had
brought them together.
The Shark took the chair and an
nounced that he was strong advo-
cate of reform. He had heard of the
Wolf eating sheep, ana he felt that
such things must be stopped or the
country would be lost.
"Ifi it's any worse to eat sheep than
sailors. then I want to know it =" re-
torted the Wolf Besides that. it ia
the tiger who raises all this outcrv
by his misdeeis. 1 move you, sir,
that he be reformed.
"Gentleman," slowly remarked
the Tiger, as he rose up, "I've been
malIciously slandered. Pm a peace
ful, lawabiding citizen, and 1 think
1t too bad that every murder commit
ted by the Devil-fsh should be laid
at my door. hope he will reforIn."
"Mr. Chairman, Pm astonished,"
remarked the Devil.tish, as he took
the floor. II supposed you all knew
me to be one ofthe humblest, feeblest
creatures in the world. l wouldn't
hurt anybody for cent, but it is the
Alligator and his doings that has
made this convention necessary"
THAT'S another" exclaimed the
Alligator, as he left his chair. "For
years past have borne the odium of
crimes committed by the Eagle, and
I'll be hanged if l stand it any long
er. Reform must begin with the
Eagle"
II rise to say" explained the
Eagle, that look so much like the
Serpent that he shoulders his mis-.
deeds off on my back. l hope the
convention will hurt mis- feelings as
he has hurt mine"
"Well, now, but l am surprised"
observed tho Serpent. "The wicked
Lobster has SO managed that l must
suffer for his crimes. He comes on
shore, kills an OK or horse, directs the
finger of suspicion at me, and then
hustles back to his water home and
is safe. Gentlemen, ask to be set
right in the eyes of the world"
The Lobster arose, heayed a deep
sigh as he looked around, and then
said: "If the Fish-worm had been
invited TO this convention should
have had chance to clear myself by
charging him with having commit
ted crime in my name. Under the
circumstances l move that we adopt
a resolution to the effect that the
Hare must be hung for highway rob.
berry, and adjourn"
Moral: Never begin reform at
home.-DetroH Free Press.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION IN THE
FOURTH DESTRUCTION last Wednes.
day, w. A. Reese, of Greenville county,
was nominated by reclamation in the
Fourth district Democratic convention.
The nominee is about IS years old and
an ex. member Of the Legislature. Res
olutions were adopted condemning the
administration of President Arthur be-
cause he has given no evidence of any
inclination to promote the prosperity of
Virginia, but has striven to place ner at
the mercy of her most bitter enemy,
Malone, traitor to the Democratic
party, traitor to his State, and broker
trading on Virginia's honor and at the
expense of her shame. Resolutions
were also adopted calling upon Demo-
Gratis to give Massey their united sup
port for Congressman .at-Large.

Tucker Nominated by Acclamation.

Atthe Democratic Congressional Con-
vention for the Sixth District, held at
Lynchburg, on last Wednesday, Hon.
J. Ran. Tucker, rs was expected, was
nominated by reclamation for re. cleo
ton. The convention was only in ses-
sion about one hour and a half. Maj.
John w. Daniel being called upon
made splendid speech, predicting a
grand victory for the Democratic, Con-
servativs party this fall.
The report in the Lynchburg Id
vance says:
"Maj. Daniel, in response to loud
calls, took the stand, and delivered q
ringing speech, which was applauded
to the echo, in which he cordially en-
dorsed Mr.. Tucker, and predicted the
overwhelming defeat in November of
the most corrupt coalition that ever
'dragooned free people, There is q
time to fight and time to surrender.
On the debt question he fought to the
best of his ability, but he had not, from
causes beyond his control. been able to
meet his constituents in Richmond on
the LIST of January, but 1t was the debt
that was defeated last year, and not
himself. Now we have no debt issue,
and will drive Malone and his spoils-
men to the wall.
Maj. Daniel, in felicitous style and an
earnestness that was apparent to all,
discussed at some length the chief is
sues of the day, including the River
and Harbor bill, and the lodging tao.
tics of Malone, Paul, and others Of that
ilk. He drew graphic picture of the
fawning and hollow hearted conduct of
Malone in lodging the vote on that bill,
and peeping through key-hole from
behind door when Senator johnson
and other noble Democrats were cast
ing their honest votes on the bill. He
had been asked II be would 'eat crow
by supporting Massey? He replied yes
he would rather eat crow twenty-four
hours a day than that buzzard should
eat him y and that was the question to
be decided. He discussed the situation
in each of the Congressional districts,
and reached the conclusion that the
prospects of the Democratic party were
never brighter or more cheering than
at present. 1t is an insult to the Eng
lish language, he said, to call Mahone's
diabolical crew Observation-Disclosures
is the only proper appellation-Capt.
Rives being the last addition to the
crowd-Rives who publicly declared
that Malone misapplied 5000 of rail-
road money; in which, the speaker
added, 'Rlves was historically and ac-
curately correct His arraignment of
Malone aud his 'foppers' was terrific,
and was applauded to the echo"
Maj. Daniel concluded amidst a per-
feet storm of applause, and was followed
by w. w. Berry, Hon. VIM. M. Cab
ell, Capt. Taylor Berry, and Col. Ed
mund Pendleton.
Capt. J. II. H. Figgat, of Botetourt,
moved that committee of five be ap-
pointed by the chair to notify Mr..
Tucker of his nomination
The chair appointed the following:
]. H. H. Figgat, Edmund Pendleton,
Alexander Mcdonald, L. A. Sale, and
Taylor Berry.
On motion of DR. Clayton, of Bedford,
the Convention then adjourned.

CINDERs IN THE EYEs.-Persons
travelling by railway are subject to con-
tinued annoyance from the flying cin-
ders. On getting into the eyes they are
not only painful for the moment, but
are often the cause of long suffering that
ends in total loss ofsight. A very simple
and effective cure is within the reach of
every one, and would prevent much
suffering and expense were 1t generally
known. 1t is simply one or two grains
of faxseed. These may be placed in
the eye without injury or pain to that
delicate organ, and shortly they begin
to swell and dissolve glutinous sub.
stance that covers the ball of the eye,
enveloping any foreign substance that
may be in it. The irritation of cutting
the membrane is thus prevented and
the annoyance may soon be washed out.
A dozen of these grains slowed away in
the vest pocket may prove in an emer-
gency worth their number in gold.

him, "If he had gone back on him ?''
