New Germany Items.

We have read the items from
Grantsville, Accident and other
places in our county with consider
able interest. and deem it but right
to contribute something ourselves.
New Germany is not an incorpo-
rated town, but there is no telling
what it may be in the future. We
have two churches. one store at
Swauger's Mill and another will be
opened by the first of May.
Mr.. Philip McAndrews is think
ing of starting blacksmith shop.
Next we want postoff1ce, who
will be the first to agitate the cause.
There is still plenty of ice here.
Some Of our old people believe in
the ground hog sign, which would
give us two more weeks of "weath-
err"
Mr.. G. ]. Otto contemplates start
ing his steam saw mill and lath saws
| in short time. There were 1860
logs put to the mill in sixteen days
by one team and four men.
We can vouch for the assertion in
the Grantsyille items, that Mr.. A. l.,
Gnagey's attention is attracted by
one of our fair maidens. But he
should be careful, as the ice has moi
all left yet.
Mr.. Scott Bickel is boarding a.
Mother Swauger's.
Mr.. Charles Yeast is boarding a
Mrs. Mary j. Otto's.

Cherry Tree Meadows.

Business here is somewhat dull,
owing to the Bender saw mill not be-
ing in operation.
TIE coal mine here belonging to
Mr.. Jacob Feigh was flooded a few
days since. which compelled sus-
pension of work for a time.
A short time since we had dance
in this neighborhood, which was kept
up till about two o'clock in the night,
when a general row took place. A
young gentleman from the Forks"
region, who considers himself the
champion of that section, was badly
used up.
Mr.. Jacob Spiker has made very
handsome pulpit for the new United
Brethren church which is to be erect
ed on the mud pike, near Benjamin
Switzer's. Mr.. Spiker expects to take
trip west soon.
Mr.. Henry Feigh had wood chop
ping on Friday of last week. Be-
tween 25 and 80 cords of wood was
the result.

to Garrett county to preside over his
farm on "Frazee's Ridge,' in district

Frazee to come to this city, but we
don't know what to do with him un-
less we match him against John l..
Sullivan. AS he is one of the biggest

he would think Pittsburgh agrees

fat too.

in one half the overfowed district in

the entire losses along the Ohio and

Smoke and Widespread Consideration
FORT WORTH. Ten, April 16.--A dis.
patch from Williams Ranch, Brown
county, says that at about O'Clock sun
day morning great meteor fell on the
outside of the town, killing several head
of cattle and destroying the dwelling
house of Martinez Garcia. a Mexican
herdsman, who, with his family, consist
ING of his wife and five children. are
buried beneath the ruins. In its descent
the meteor resembled a massive ball
of fire, and the shock was similar
to that of an earthquake.
1t is still hot and steaming. 1t is im-
bedded in the earth probably 100 feet and
towers above the surface about 20 feet. 1t
covers about an acre of ground. The con-
cussion was terrific, nearly every window
in the town being shattered. People were
hurled violently from their beds, and goods
i'll the stOrehouses were thrown from their
shelves.
No lives were lost as far as known, eX-
cePt the herdsman and his family, al
though several buildings fell to the
ground. Cattle fled in terror in every di-
rection. The air was filled with sulphu-
rOus smoke. The widest confusion pre-
vailed, and it was long time before any
body could even conjecture what had
happened. This is the largest meteor that
has ever fallen, and it has already been
visited by many people, and will doubt
less continue to attract great attention
for months to come. 1t has OccasiOned
great excitement not only here, but all
over the surrounding country.

NOT DOWN ON THE BILL.
Mayor HarrisOn's Tariff speech at the
lrOnuOis Club Dinner.
CA5cdg0 NpecidI, Nh


An incident occurred at the IrOauOis
Club banquet last night which was not
down on the bill, and which has served to
create, in a certain measure, comment to-
day among those who were present and
among Democratic leaders generally.
Mayor Harrison, Of this city, was men
toned for the concluding toast, and when
he arose to speak it was after O'Clock in
the morning. He Immediately deserted
the topic named for him, and proceeded
to discuss the tariff. Those preceding
him who had ventured upon that topic
made full advocacy OF free trade, and
the dissenting utterances with which the
concluding speaker proceeded to fill up
his time served, at least, to guarantee
him the close attention of those present.
His position was cOuched in the following
extract from his speech:
on may make your tarifffor revenue
only in your next platform, but you will
split the Democratic party; but if you
take the position Of protection, hydra
headed monster that must be stricken
down, you will not split the Democratic
party, Protection is monster. Free
trade is thing for dOctrinal people not
educated up to it. 1t was a good thing
20 years ago when we held the power of
the administration i'm Washington. but
take that as your plank and YOU do not
win from the Republican party single
one of its adherents. You will drive
thousands of our own people from our
ranks, and you will probably have a
Presidential candidate writing a letter at
the wrong moment that kills your plat
FORM
The papers this morning printed a
speech which had been given them as the
one Mr.. Harrison would deliver, and.
owing to the late hour, the true version
was not given publicity, but will be pub

to talk, with the exception of two-Broad-

NITRO-GLYCERINE AFLoAT.
Objects of the Iroouois Banquet.

CHICAGO, April 16.-COngressman W.
r. Springer. of Illinois, who has been in
this city since Thursday, was interviewed
to-day in regard to the published state
ment that the general sentiment of the
Democratic leaders present at the IrOquois
banquet favored Samuel j. Tilden for
President in 1884. He said that the meet
ing was not in the interest of any candi-
date, and as far as he knew no prefer
ence was expressed. The only object
of the meeting was to enun clate Demo
cratic principles and to voice the senti-
ment of the party on the great questions
of the day. There was an overwhelming
sentiment. however, in favor of tariff
for revenue only, and he was convinced
that the representatives of the Northwest
would demand the insertion Of this plank
in the platform of the next National DEM
Ocratic Convention.

largest firms in the business, made an
assignment to-day to Geo. /. Whitney, for
the benefit of their creditors. Their liza
bilities are $1,500,00O, and their assets
about 81, 100000. The failure was due TO
extensive speculation in pig iron
since 1879. James Marshall has
been purchasing largely of pig under
the belief that prices must advance. The
dullness of trade after the long strike,
then the uncertainty as to what Congress
would do about the tariff, and finally the
absence of the expected advance after the
tariff bill had been passed, all contributed
to bring about the failure. The Pittsburg
banks are the largest creditors, but will
lose nothing. as they have ccllaterals for
their loans which will realize the amount

carpenters made demand for $3 30 per
day, and that eight hours should cOnsti-

the employers refused the demand, work
was stopped, when the men were told to
resume their labor on their own TERMS
Two others of the shops, where the men
had struck, sent word later to
the carpenters committee that they
would pay the rates demanded,
and asking for fifteen men to 90 to

two men. The committees are to-day
