CFOasdale'N Whine,

1t was matter of surprise on Mon.
day 10 hear of the discontiDuance of the
morning edition of the Baltimore Day
of which William 7. Croasdale wa,
editor, but this surprise was increased
the day following, when 1t was authori
tatively announced that the great editor
had retired entirely from the editorial
chair of the Day. The following is MI
Croasdale's egotistic card on retiring.
TO THE READERS OF "THE DAY.,"
hereby announce that l have retired
from the editorial control and manage.
ment of this paper, having agreed tc
transfer all intrest of myself and others
to Mr.. G. w. Cruikshank, who will as
sume complete control of the editorial
direction and business management OF
the paper. My reasons for. this step may
be briefly stated.
First, I would not be willing to re.
sumo the conduct of an evening paper
in this city after the failure of our at
tempt to secure sufficient support for
the morning edition, under any circum,
stances.
Second, believe "The Day." under
my hahoBohIoh', Souu bCNCt IuIuli bllC
conditions requisite to it's recognition
rs Democratic paper in this commu
nifty, and could not consent to con-
duct 1t or any other paper here as an
advocate of Democratic principles, but
implacably hostile to the men and in
tluences CONT olIing the Democratic
party in this city.
Under these circumstances l gladly
retire from task to which have given
all my energies and my best ability and
my conscientious work for about two
years, with sincere thanks to those who
have given me their support in my en-
d avors to give Baltimore q good news
paper and an outspoken and fearless
organ of opinion.
gladly bespeak for my successor,
Mr.. Cruikshank, not only all the sup
port given me, but that withheld from
me as well and have no doubt that he
and the excellent staff he has about
him will make The Day great and
growing success.

House last night very affecting seen,
was witnessed in the audience. Will,
affecting at times, 1t was also quit,
amusing. and the audience were kept ii
a cOnvulsion of laughter. A young
man, accompanied by two ladies, evi
IDENTIFY sisters, occupied seats in the cir
Gle, with the young man seated between
the two. The eldest of the girls was
about 10 or 10, and during each inter-
mission she persisted in acting very
lovingly towards her friend and escort,
by putting her arms around him and
resting her head on his shoulder, while
her face was often in close proximity to
his. When laughed at by those around
her, she became even more demonstra-
tive, until her sister, who was several
years younger, becoming disgusted with
such actions, chided her upon her
improper conduct, which angered the
elder, and hot words were exchanged.
This was kept up until the younger girl
became tired of wasting words, and re-
sorted to tisticufts to settle the matter,
and the two made things lively for
few minutes, while the young man was
placed in an unenviable position. AT
this point the audience were in an up
roar, and vented their feelings in shouts
of laughter, while the usher and special
police FASTENED to part the belligerents
and settle the difficulty. When spoken
to the youngest girl burst into tears,
while the other, naughty as she was,
did not appear to be the least bit con-
cerned, and continued to rest her head
and arms on the shoulder of her gal.

A BALTIMORE SENSATION,
Reform Members Leaving City
Council In u Body ObnOxiOua
I.ex1slatlOn

BALTIMORE, Feb. 12-There was ;
stormy time in the first branch of tn
Baltimore City Council tonight, ending
in bolt Of the eight reform members
leaving the fourteen regular Democrat
remaining and preventing any legisla
,ion. The trouble was over an ordi
nance to re-establish the old board O.
fire commissioners and to do away with
the Office Of fire marshal. The fire
board was abolished, and the office o.
fire marshal was created during Mayor
Whyte's administration and he ap
pointed to the place j. Monroe Heiskell
Heiskell took the tire department.
out of politics and made the investiga
ton which resulted in the indictment OF
all the fire commissioners, including
Mayor Whyte himself, for Inalfeasance
in office. Heiskell ran tor Mayor
against Latrobe, and came very near
being elected. One of the first acts OF
Latrobe after his election was an an
nouncement that he proposed to secure
the abolition of the office of fire mar.
shal and to re-establish the fire
board.
There was much public Indignation
at this move, and 1t has been bitterly
opposed by all the reform members in
the Council. 1t is plainly charged and
generally believed that Latrobe is
pressing the matter, purely out of re.
venge upon Heiskell for running against
him for Mayor
Tonight the ordinance TO re establish
the fire board was put upon its passage.
The refOrmers tried in every way to
prevent it, but finding that the regular
Democrats, who were carrying out the
order of the bosses, were bound to rail-
road the ordinance through, the reform
ers, by previous understanding, arose
in body and marched out ofthe Cham
Der. The President shouted TO the Ser
geant.at- Arms to stop them, and he
tried to bar their passage at the door,
but they overpowered him and filed out
of the City Hall.
The Sergeant-at- Arms went after
them and managed to catch two, and
tried to compel them to come back.
They resisted him and he was unsuC-
cesstul. The regulars were, therefore,
obliged to adjourn and the ordinance
was not passed. The law does not al
low the arrest of the boilers, and they
affirm that they will not return to the
Chamber unit the Objectionable ordi-
nance is Withdrawn. There is much
excitement in municipal circles over
the event.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~ - Ex. Senate
Mcdonald Qt SIadianA. arrived her
last night, Hhd made tour OF the capi
tai today. He was greeted with tn
distinguished and cordial consideration
that is due a promising Presidential
candidate. The Mcdonald boom, which
has been moving right along in Indiana
and Of her Of the Western STATES, has
not caused any great commotion In
Washington. Every Democrat had a
kind word to say for joe" as he IL
famil arly called, and his friends would
rejoice TO see him nominated if they
thought he could be elected, but for a
sacrifice Joseph is altogether too old
and lovely.
Before Congress met a majority Of the
leading Democrats from the. East
thought that Western man should be
nominated, but, since the election of
Carlisle az Speaker, bringing with it the
Morrison calamity tariff bill, the faces
of the braves are again turned towards
the rising sun. With prospect Of
losing New York, Connecticut, Ohio,
Virginia, California and Delaware, as
the result of tariff agitation, the East
ern Democrats care not to scour the
prairies for candidate. Rather would
they seize upon some good man of large
wealth, who favors protection and the
national banking system, and is re-
garded with respect by the money
changers of Wall street.
Hence II IL that the presence of Mr..
Mcdonald Is needed in Washington to
inspire the doubtful with hope and re-
store confidence in the fainthearted.
The tariff cannot be laid aside, despite
all the Eastern men, who hoped for
time that the Morrison bill might be
smothered in committee.
One Of the ablest Democratic politi.
clans in the House said this evening
that he had no doubt some sort of bill
would be reported. Hewitt is a great
source of uneasiness to the committee"
said he He reminds of the little spit
fires we used to make with powder
when l was boy. They would siss
and snap ana then go out, and, about
the time we thought it safe to approach,
explode with great flash. Still, l
think Hewitt will support some sort of
q bill"
"What will the House do with it?"
Kill IL, of course. Mills, under
stand, will make any sacrifice to get q
bill before the House. ! really believe
nothing could make Mills so unhappy
as to elect a Democratic President. He
would think principle sacrificed some

AFloOd on she Juniats

Mrs. E. j. Dennis, 215 East Third
street. have received letter from her
son.in-law /. G. Lantz, Thompson
own, Juniata County, Pa, giving
quite a graphic description of the
flood thaf took place on that
triver last week. At9o'clock on Thurs
day the ice started and in 10 minutes
the bridge was u thing of the past.
Three spans left at Cnce. One of them
went quarter of a mile and stopped,
and others drift cd about 100 yards from
the piers. AS soon as the news reached
Millerstown the people began to come
from there. Three men went out on the
broken ice and fired two spans in order
to save the MillerstOwn bridge.
One span ofthe Thompsontown bridge
remained in its place. At half past 4
o'clock the ice started again, and took
the other span. In 20 minutes the
water commenced to swell back in the
Then began mad race, some in seds
and some on foot, for the high ground
towards town. 1t Is supposed there
were 50 sleds and 800 people in the race
The water came across the field and
covered the road for short distance.
In three minutes from the time it broke
out it began to fall, and soon left the
road bare again. The last span of our
bridge took one span OF the bridge at
MillerstOwn.
This is the greatest ice food ever
known along the Juniata. The ice is
showed out along the shore in immense
piles, some places higher than the
houses. 1t broke trees off three and
four feet thick like threads. 1t was a
grand hut awful sight. The loss is
great, and may be much more when
the other ice comes down from above,
hut all the mischief that can be done at
our place is done now.
