Double Pipe Creek Items.

On Tuesday of last week, as we were cross
ing the bridge, we saw something lodging
around in the creek below, and upon exam
lining the spot more closely we saw n little
fellow scarcely three feet in height and not
twelve years old Juggling away at large stone,
almost larger than himself. Inquiring of him
what was up, he informed us that he was
building a dam for his set-net. We thought
he might with propriety leave that undone,
but what was our surprise when BILLY in
formed us the next morning that he hauled 81
of the finest suckers caught this season, some
of them measuring 16 inches and over. Since
our little friend has put the ball to rolling
there have been over 500 caught here, many
measuring II inches and over, and looking
like shad.
Tramps have been very numerous for the
last month. Would it not be expedient for
some of our Frederick county officials-say a
few magistrates, constables and a sheriff-to
come this way. We would be willing to fur
nish them with this surplus of ours free of
charge, since the tramp business pays so well
over there.
F. J. Shorb, after trying in vain to purchase

pork, accepted the offer.

AND BEAUTIFY
IL YOUR HOMES

With new wall papers, and select them from
a stock, you will then know what you are
buying; when you select from samples it is
very often you do not get what You select, as
you are selecting from some old stock which
has been picked over in the city, and most
likely you get an inferior article from your
first choice. We think our trade deserves
first choice or none, therefore we keep full
line of new paper, shipped to us as soon as
finished and as we do not have TO buy just
enough for a room at a time and pay retail
prices and expressage ON each package, we can
afford to put prices that cannot be beaten if
they do get the old style at half price. The
demand for the class of goods we carry is
increasing daily. Our numerous spring Or
ders have already compelled me to employ
two more skilled workmen from the city, which
with my present force will enable me to do
all work prompt. All the novelties pertaining
to Window Shades and Picture Frame depart
ment always on hand. Come to see us and
we will convince you we have what we say;
we never advertise what we do not have.

A dispatch from Columbia, S. S., March

was unroofed, and the tin lodged in the trees
hundred yards away. The chimneys were
hurled through the ceiling and the iron col
umns of the piazza carried away. The family
narrowly escaped. A number of smaller
houses in the same neighborhood were
wrecked and fencing and immense trees
thrown about like chat. The cyclone next
struck Winhorn's plantation, where it did
serious damage.
The adjoining farm of G. I. Taylor came
next in the furious march of the tornado.
Mr.. Taylor's dwelling, frame building, was
completely wrecked. His family were caught
in the ruins in their night clothes and were all
painfully hurt. His furniture and household
goods were demolished and his stock of food
scattered to the four winds. Several other
buildings in the vicinity were blown down.
The cyclone was funnel shaped, a quarter OF
mile in width, and kept in the valleys.
More serious reports are looked for. The
entire population of this city were aroused by

Ratification Meeting in Washing

The first ratification of the action
of the Chicago convention by the Re-
pubicans of the District of Columbia
took place last Thursday night, with
the accomplishments of large and
enthusiastic audience, electric lights,
fireworks, display of flags and bunt-
ing, fine band music and speeches by
some of the best oratorial talent of
Congress. Gen. Hawley called the
meeting to order, after which Judge
Shellabarger opened it in a speech.
The nominee of the Republican party
he described as the fittest person Gall
things considered) that could have
been selected. He was perhaps the
best known man in the country, and
was the purest and most exalted man
in the republic. cheers He eulo-
gized John A. Logan for his patriot
ism and bravery. Judge Lawrence,
of Ohio, read series of resolutions
indorsing and ratifying the Republi-
can nominations. The resolutions
were adopted with cheers. Judge
Shellabarger introduced Hon. John
Sherman, who said: 81 am ready to
accept, approve and ratify the action
of the Chicago convention, and l will
support the nomination cheers of
Blaine and Logan, as heartily as 1
have those of Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes and Garfield. Blaine
and Logan represent a strong and
national government. Senator Sher-
man made an extended speech, after
which Senator Hawley was introduced.
He began by calling for three cheers
for James Gillespie Blaine heartily
responded to then for three more for
John Alexander Logan. Alike re-
sponse1 Then some one in the
crowd shouted "three cheers for Haw-
lay" Loud cheers. The Repu5li-
can party, Senator Hawley said, was
not made up of 100 or 1900 "good
men of Boston" any more than 1900
drops of water made the Mississippi
river. He smiled when he heard g
"good man" talk about organizing g
new party in which pleasant people
should have a good time. They might
as well talk of having an ocean where
no man would be sea sick and where
sailors would encounter no storms
These "good men" might try to es
tablish new party of the future but
the Republican party had the gooG
will of the "business" and did moi
propose to discontinue. Cheers.
Several other distinguished gentlemen
made addresses, including Represent
atives Perkins, of Kansas, Phelps, O
New Jersey, and Senator Malone, o
Virginia, all of whom spoke brilliant
ly in support of the nomination o.
Blaine and Logan. The enthusiasm
of the audience was maintained to thu
end of the meeting without the slight
est abatement, and the meeting closeC
with tremendous cheers for the ticket
Addresses were also made b,
Messrs. Reed and Milliken, and Bou
telle, of Maine, and many others
Letters were read from Secretary Lin
coin and Senator Hale, eulogizing tn
candidates. At 11.30 the meeting

That grand old Methodist, Matthew
Simpson, passed into eternal rest at
his home in Philadelphia on Wednes-
day morning of last week. The World
very truthfully says: In losing Bishop
Simpson the Methodist Episcopal
church loses one of the ablest and

Few dignitaries in that church have
been so widely and fervently loved al
over this country and few have won
such attention and such deep respect
from all other denominations. He
was in all respects the ideal Chris
tian preacher.

The Albany evening Journal says {:
"Have any men of prominence in the
councils of the Republican party left it
because of the Chicago nomination
Is there anything like the discomfort
and depression IN the Republican par
ty that followed the nomination of
Gen. Grant in 1872, or even in the
nomination of Hayes or of Garfield ?
Think of the long list of Republicans
who refused to support Gen. Grant
and took up the cause of Horace
Greeley-Senators Sumner, Schurz,
Ferry, Trumbull, Fenton, Gov. Cur
tin, Stanley Matthews, Charles Fran
els Adams, William Cullen Bryant,
David A. Wells and others. Think
of such a detection and of all the
following that Greeley had
in 1872. What was the result? Such
a defeat for the Democracy that it has
not recovered from the blow to this
day."
