In Congress it was Blaine who referred
to Conkling's "super-eminent, overpower-
ing turkey -gobbler strut" 1t was Blaine
who, in taking up Theodore Tilton's decla-
ration that the mantle of Winter Davis had
fallen on Conkling, exclaimed "The re-
semblance is great 1t is striking. Hyperion
to Satyr. Thersites to Hercules, mud to
marble, dung-hill to diamond, singed cat
to a Bengal tiger, whining puppy to
roaring lion" And then it was Conkling
who styled Blame "frivolously impcrti-
nent fellow" Under these circumstances
it is doubtful whether kindly feeling ex-
lists between Blaine and the New York
statesman.

EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE,

The Engineer Killed In the Wreck and the
Fireman's Body 800 Feet Away.
Engine No. 1913, belonging to the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, exploded at
Locust Point few minutes after seven
O'Clock on Wednesday morning, and killed
Joshua Dixon, engineer, and David J.
Burke, fireman.
The engine, which was attached to a
train Of coal-hoppers, was at the time
standing exactly opposite the south end
of Ramsay's machine shops. Just before
the explosion Dixon was seen leaning
out the south window of the cab. Burke
was eating his breakfast inside the cab.
A terrific noise was heard, and the air
was filled with steam. while Scalding
water and fragments of the wreck were
hurled high in the air and scattered
around for several hundred feet. As
soon as the steam cleared away and the
wreck could be approached Dixon was
found lying on the ground near his en-
CINE, bruised, lacerated and scalded. He
was alive, but dying fast. The force of
the explosion had torn nearly all his
clothing off. He did not seem to hear
anything said to him, but was heard to
say several times in an agonized voice
"Oh, my! Oh, N.Y. In few minutes
he breathed his last. Burke, the fire.
man, was hurled through the top of the
cab up through the telegraph wires on
the east side of the track and 300 feet
away to the water-side in Woodall's ship
yard, where his crushed and mangled re-
mains fell into the mud and water among
some logs. The body was nude. Death
must have been simultaneous with the
explosion. One of the dead mans sus
penders and part of his trousers were
seen dangling from the telegraph wire,
and were removed soon after the acct
dent.

EX-SHERIFF LOGAN DEAD.
Taken Away in the Prime ofLife.

The news of the death the night pre-
vious of ex-Sheriff of this county, Geo, H.
Logan was received here on Monday
morning last. He died at his home near
Zion in the Ninth district about half past
ten o'clock, on Sunday night, after a
lingering and painful illness of brigh.s
disease of the kidneys. He had bsen
suffering for long time, but was con-
fined to his bed only about week pre-
vious to his death. Mr.. Logan was one
of the most highly esteemed citizens of
Cecil. Of pleasant and corteous manners,
man Of strict integrity, and unblem-
ished reputation, he held the sincere re-
gard of all who knew him. He was a
nephew of the Hon. Hiram Mccullough,
time since the death of his mother, MIR.
McCullough's sister. Mr.. Logan was
56 years of age. He served as collector
of taxes for his district for two terms and
was elected sheriff in 1879. He made
most excellent official, performing the
duties of the position with impartiality
and fairness. At the close of the term
he removed to his farm where he resided
up to the time of his death. His funeral
took place on Wednesday last, the re-
mains being inferred at Rose Bank Gem
etery, Calvert. A majority of the citi-
zens of the neighborhood with many
from distant points, attended the funeral.
He leaves widow and one son.

Boiler Explosion.

The fireman at Singerly's pulp mills
tried the experiment of running cold wat
er into red hot boiler on Wednesday
morning, and the giving way of several
of the plate rivets in the crown sheet
only prevented a disastrous explosion.
The boiler was the large high, pressure
steam-digester boiler which supplies
steam for cooking the pulp. The guage
showed no pounds of steam a. the time
the water was turned in, and at once it
went up to no one knows how many
pounds. The weakness of the rivets
proved safety-valve in this case The
crown plates opened and allowed the
steam to escape into the fire box. AS it
was, the boiler was very much damaged
Had these rivets held, the whole thing
would have blown up and, no doubt,
wrecked great portion of the mill,

lie Grabs the Money and Runs
AWAY.

The contractor firm of Fitzpatrick and
Michigan, who for some time past have
been operating upon the B. II o., new
Philadelphia extension, between New
ark and Wilmington, employing large
gang of Italian workmen, and who pro-
fessed to be the only straight firm on
that part of the road now turn out to be
frauds of the worst kind, one of the
members being an ex-eastern peniten-
tiary convict. The concern were largely
in arrears to their laborers, although
they boosted about Newark that they
did not owe cent.
On Saturday last Fitzpatrick & Nc
Guigan endorsed check for the money
with which to pay the hands, and it was
drawn from Wilmington bank, and an
employe, Mr.. Creswell, started to go
to the section for the purpose when he
was set upon by Fitzpatrick and Nc,
Guigan, and the money foreibly taken
from him.
Fitzpatrick was afterwards arrested at
Norristown, and McGuigan was over
hauled i'll Philadelphia. The former had
81, 600 in his possession and the latter a
less sum. Both intended to make way
with it, and claim that they were forced
to endorse the check.
The Italian laborers, when they found
that the contractors had gone back on
them, seized all the property on the Sec
tions, among it some twenty-five horses,
and until assured that they would be
paid determined to hold them. They
found, however, that the law was the
stronger of the two.
The last advices report Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick, it has been proven, is an old
jail bird. He served nine years in the
Eastern penitentiary for completely in

Personal.

Mrs. Edward S. PoiSt, of Hebron, Thier
county, Nebraska, with her two children,
is visiting friends in Elkton. Mrs Poist is
daughter of Mr.. Lemuel Whiteman, of
this town. With her husband she went
West i'll 1863 sixteen years ago, and this is
her first visit East since that time. She
gives a very interesting history OF the Won
derful growth of the country where they
settled, and also has a number of photo
graphs of buildings and views in and about
Hebron. When they went there, there
was no town at all and the country was
sparely settled. Now there is a large and
busy town containing many fine buildings
1t is a great grain centre. They have two
large elevators, from which thousands of
bushels are shipped daily. Corn is the
principal grain crop Of this section. II is a
prairie country, the soil of which is Won
derfuliy fertile. No fertilizers are needed
to make the largest kind of crops. When
first settled of course there were but few
trees, and they on the water courses. Mrs.
Poist shows photograph of a grove the
seed of which she planted about their resi-
dence, which have now grown to large size,
nearly as large as the average tree npon our
streets. They are of the variety known as
the cottonwood, and of rapid growth. Mr..
PoiSt was a member of the first regi-
ment Minnesota infantry, and was wounded
ut the battle of -antietam. He availed him
self OF the privilege of soldier under the
homestead law, and preempted a piece of
and there, buying additional, and settling
upon it, and has been very
successful. His land is now almost in the
town of Hebron and is very valuable Mr.
Poist at one time edited and published two
newspapers at Hebron, sound Republican

Local Political.

Mr.. George Cotton and G.. Dodd Nc
Farland, of Baltimore, spoke to the De-
mocracy at the court house on Thursday
evening.
Democratic consolation-'If we can't
beat you, We give you big scare every
four years."
Individuals of the Democratic persua-
sion, who never owned $25 at time, are
running about town offering to bet a
hundred or so on Cleveland; of course it
is all buster.
Saint John, not the Baptist, was rep
resented here on Monday night last. The
meeting proved in many respects, a Dem
ocratic love feast.
Is any Republican so blind, as to be
unable to discern the drift of the St.
John movement in Cecil county. Don't
be clam and throw your vote away.
Cast it for the right man, James G.
Blaine.
Surely no Cecil Republican will be SO
stupidity like an oyster, as to cast his
vote for st. John and that other end of
his ticket. If any one contemplates do
ing such foolish act, we call upon him
to come to dead halt and consider that
he is worse than throwing his vote away.
He is almost casting it for that wine bib
Der and debauchee, Stephen G. Cleveland,
instead of a temperance man.
Any sensible man, could not help but
see, in the proceedings of the meeting at
the court house on Monday night, the
drift of the St. John movement in Mary
land. 1t is direct attempt to decoy Re-
publican votes in that direction. A few
Democrats profess to be in accord with
the movement, but when election day
rolls round, they will vote for Sheriff
Cleveland, as sure as the sun shines,
while they will laugh in their sleeves, at
their Republican dupes, casting their
ballots for St. John directly, but indi-
| rectly for the sheriff of Buffalo.
A game of brag and buster has been
adopted by the local Democracy. They
claim everything. This may be good
plan to keep up their spirits, but it won't
win. Nary time!
Mr.. Cotton spoke in glowing terms of
the old flag and of our grand old coun-
try, as compared with down-trodden
Europe, &C., at the court house on Thurs
day evening, but he forgot to remind his
audience that, had the Democratic party
had its way we would have no country
now to boast of.
A number of Cecil Republicans went on
to New York to witness the great Blaine &
Logan business mems parade there yes
