Easter Monday Parade.

Arrangements for the grand carnival,
trades display, military and civic parade to
take place in this city on Easter Monday are
progressing finely, and but little beyond ar
ranging minor details remains to be done.
The magnitude of the affair will far exceed
any similar demonstration ever witnessed in
Western Maryland, if Westminster and the
districts of the county do as well as it is now
supposed they will. Every business man in
the city should put one or more wagons in
the procession. The Westminster Fire De-
partment will turn out with full ranks, engine
and trucks; Burns Post will be in line; the
Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and
Mechanics have been invited and are expect
ed to participate. Wilson, Dushanes and
Harry Howard Posts of Baltimore, with
bands and drum corps, will be here, and the
military and civic feature of the demonstra-
ton will be imposing. The carnival part Of
the parade promises to be large and ludi-
crous. Many of the costumes will be pro-
cured in Baltimore, while others will be fash
Toned at home to appropriately burlesque GER
tain things and people. From Mechanicsville
section is promised large delegation i'll
wagons, carriages and on horseback, and
some laughable costumes may be looked for.
Placed at intervals in the procession will be
some eight or ten brass bands, including Will
son Post Band of Baltimore, the Westminster
band, Union Bridge band, Mt. Pleasant
band, Silver Run band with its new set
of instruments. and Patapsco band. Next
week the full program will be announced.
In the meantime we would urge all to work
with zeal and energy. The better the display
the more satisfactory it will be. 1t cannot
be too large, too ridiculous or too imposing.
A public meeting will be held at the Court
House this Saturday night

Fall of an Enormous Meteor In Texas
Loss OF life.
Fort WORTH (rexas) April 15th.-From
Williams rancho it is reported that at 2
o'clock this morning ponderous meteor fell
ct the outskirts of town, killing several head
of cattle and completely destroying the
dwelling-house of Martinez Garcia, a Mexi.
can herdsman, who, with his family, consist
ing Of wife and five children, were buried
beneath the meteor. The greatest constern-
alton prevails. In its descent the meteor re-
sembIed a massive ball Of fire, and the shock
was similar to an earthquake. 1t is still hot
and steaming, imbedded in the earth prob
ably 200 feet, and towers above the surface
about 20 feet. 1t will cover about an acre Of
ground. The conclusion was terrific, and
nearly every window in town was shattered.
People were hurled violently from their beds,
goods in storehouses were precipitated from
the shslves, and everything was thrown into
state of chaos and confusion. No lives were
lost, as far az known, except the Mexican
herdsman and family. although several build
ings fell to the ground and cattle fed in ter
ror in every direction. The air ia filed with
sulphurous gas.

QUEEN VIcToRIA's PRoPERTY.-In Eng.
land there is Crown property and there is
Queens property, of course, and come
friend of Victoria says that in all the royal
palaces most careful distinction is made
between Crown property (which goes from
one sovereign to another) and private prop.
erty. At present almost everything at
Balmoral and at Osborne belongs to the
Queen herself, but, except few pictures
and statues, her Majesty has nothing Of
her own at Windsor or at Buckingham
Palace. Till within the last few years
there was great deal of Crown property
at Osborne, but it has gradually been re.
placed by purchases, and most of it has
now been sent back to Windsor. 1t is said
the Queen uses the Crown property all she
can, and her own as little as possible, but
there is no accounting for the ways of wo
men, even if they are Queens in Christian
lands. i Philadelphia Times.
