Those of our people who went off to the
summer resorts early and returned because the
weather was too cool, should have waited until
the first of September and then gone away. 1t is
generally believed that the summer hotel men have
stood in with the clerk of the weather. hence these
immense drops Of perspiration.
For upwards Of q week We have experienced
the hottest weather of the season, the thermome-
ter every day reaching about 30 degrees. There
has been peculiar humidity in the atmosphere,
rendering the temperature almost beyond endur-
ance. II Is rarely that we experience such long
continued heat wave in September.

The Democratic convention for the Sc
cond Congressional district will meet in Towson-
town, Wednesday, Sept. 18th. Doubtless a very
large number of prominent politicians will be at
tracted, as this will be a continuation of the
"agony" which commenced in Elkton and ended
temporarily in Baltimore. The man who will
win the prize-but then that's something else

The Scientific American says: "Brakes
should never be strongly applied to moving
trains on bridge of any size, and the best
railroads prohibit such practice when necessary
to reduce speed in crossing, the brakes are ap-
piled before reaching the bridge and then released
when crossing. Very likely many bridges have
had their lives much shortened, and many acci-
dents have happened, from neglect of this rule"
The sanitary council of Maryland, under

Many of the house-keepers of this place
have experienced great trouble procuring help
during the present summer, some families being
obliged to do their own work because they could
not get help. There are any number of idle peo-

Next winter some of the same people will have to
be supported on charity, but if the charitably
disposed would serve them right they would re-

not help themselves.
The new order of things on the Maryland
Central makes it incumbent upon all north bound
trains to keep out of the way of those south bound
in other words the latter have the right of way.
The result ofthis arrangement was that on Monday
evening the $50 from Baltimore laid on the sid |
ing at Hyde's for nearly two hours, waiting for
the train bound south from Delta, and passengers
who should have reached Beair about o'clock,
did not get there until after 9. Other similar de.
lays have occurred and the result is that the num-
Der of "growlers" is beyond precedent. We hope
that all will come right in time.
The new schedule on the Maryland Gen.

Under the new arrangement
ladies who desire to go to the city on shopping
expeditions must either take the SIS train or
wait until the $50, the first being too early and
the latter too late The result of this is that they
as well as others who would patronize the road,
are either driven to the horse-cars or the North
ern Central, connection With the latter being made
by Coles stage. 1t is hoped that something may
be done to afford better accommodation.
The Democratic Central Club, of this place,
held meeting in Robinson's hall, Friday night
Of last week, at which Messrs VIM. S. Keech and
Chas. E. Fendall made stirring speeches. But
then things-politically speakng-are dull, devil
sh dull. Our Democratic friends should have
leld their meeting Friday night of this week.
Then they could have discussed that little affair
which took place "'way down in Maine" last Mon
lay. Plenty of food for thought in the "varous
