To make a local paper interesting,
it is necessary that the editor should
be made acquainted with the local
news. Many people who know of
items worth publishing quietly keep
them to themselves, and then find
fault with the paper because no men,

Maryland Pensioners.

The commissioner of pensions has
been ordered to prepare for Congress
full and complete list of the names
of all government pensioners. Pos
sibly it may contain the names of
some who are improperly drawing
pensions to which they are not enti-
tied, and possibly also it may not in
clude some who are in every way en-
titled to place on the pension list.
AT all events, the publication will be
looked for with great interest by the
public, and much anxiety is express
ed for its appearance, which will be
after the opening of the next session.
1t will show, among other things,
that there are in the State of Mary

REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrivals of Cattle during the
week amounted to 1925 head, against
2,S06 last week and 1875 head the cor
responding week of last year. and the
sales were 2,170'head. against 1888 last
week, and 1,849 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
The market has shown TODAY a
little more activity than last week,
but at slight decline as compared
with the prices ruling then, rs far as
medium and common Cattle were
concerned tops, as to quality, show
no decline, as the figures obtained for
them were &c higher, which is attrib-
utable to the somewhat superior quail
ity of the offerings to-day. Prices
ranged from to &c., with most sales
at 38054c.; more than 1900 head
were sold on private terms to F. r.
Lingham for shipment.
THE SWINE MARKET.
The run is much more numerous
than last week and, with no improve
ment in the demand, prices are off as
compared with the figures ruling last
Monday, the decline being fully 4c.
The quality of the offerings shows a
falling off, as there are many more
grassers than there were in last Mon.
days's receipts. Common stays and
soWs sold at 6(063c., and the better
grades 7(07$, Same time last year
Hogs sold for 10(0I2c., with extra
weight Off at the lower figure.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
There is an increase in the receipts
this week oyer last week of more than
1,4OO head, and no Improvement in
the quality. There has been no out
side demand, and the butchers bought
sparingly. making altogether a rather
dull market. Stock Sheep have been
fairly active, and the prospects are
good for fair trade in them. Butcher
Sheep sold at 3(@5c.; Lambs 4064,
few at the latter price. Stock Ewes
sold S2(@3.50 per head, and Wethers
4(944c. per ID. The corresponding

3(958c. anC Lambs at 43053.

Chris Magee, of the Cameronian
tribe in Pennsylvania, IN an inter4
view, recently predicted that the
keystone State would probably give
from 10000 to $4,000 Republican ma
jority in the next election. He said :
"Of course, Pennsylvania will give
Republican majority, but its plural
ity will depend largely on how Ohio
goes. If the Buckeye State will give
Republican majority of any reason
able amount, 1 can safely put the
majority of the keystone State at
from 10000 to 10000. This is but a
reasonable estimate under the present
circumstances, with every indication
OF an increase if the Democrats con-
tinue their present course of proce-
dure. or course, am glad they are
acting as they are, for even at this
present time there is no earthly hope
OF their winning even one candidate
in the State.

Killed by a Jealous Niece.

A special despatch from Black
Shear, La, gives the following par.
ticulars of tragedy which occurred
on Friday evening of last week SIN
little settlement called Cowhouse,
on the southern edge of Pierce coun-
ty, country bellies and beaux were
enjoying the pleasures of dance.
Among the ladies present were Miss
Roxie Wilson and Miss Smith, each
of whom had train of admiring at.
PENDANTS. AS dance succeeded dance
the ill-concealed rivalry increased and
an open rupture occurred between the
parties. Miss Wilson's young brother,
who was present, sharpened knife
and, rushing into where his sister was
just taking her place in the final break
down, handed it to her, with the adj
vice not to be run over. Miss Roxie
thereupon sprang at Miss Smith with
the fury of tigress, giving her sey-
eral frightful lunges with the kniye.
One cut partially disemboweled the
poor girl, and another made huge
cash across her breast. She fell faint
ing to the floor, and cannot live. Miss
Roxie was taken away by her friends
and has not yet been found by the
officers. The butchered woman was
an aunt to her assailant. This case
will revive the interest which sway
ed the state during the Kate Sothern
excitement, which was almost similar
in its nature. Kate killed her rival,
Narcissa Howart, while set for a
dance was being made up. She was
tried, convicted and sentenced to
death. Sogreat was the outcry against
the execution of a woman that the
Governor committed her sentence to
mprisonment for ten years. She was
sent to a convict camp owned by a
relative, and kept house for him, be-
ing accompanied by her husband. In
three years the soft-hearted Governor
pardoned her out entirely. While in
the so-called penitentiary she had
two children, one of whom is named
Alfred II. Colquitt. The Southern
public sentiment is now more dis
posed to let the law take its course,
even if the criminal is woman"

Damage by the Lat6 FroSts.

CINCINNATI, o.. Sept. 10.-Frost is
reported very general throughout

A slight frost fell here Saturday and
Sunday night, damage generally
slight, hut on some low ground the
corn was considerably injured.
DUBUQUE, IA, September 1O.-The
frost on Saturday night nipped the
vines in this vicinity, but so far as
learned it has not seriously injured
the fruit. Corn is not injured. unless

not to any extent. The average dam
age, it is believed, is by no means as
serious as was expected, and crops as
a whole have received but little dam.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 1O.-A
dispatch from well posted and re-
liable correspondent at Topeka says
he cannot learn that there has been
any frost in Kansas, at any rate not
enough to do any damage. Corn in

danger, much of it is already in
shock.
