THE every Evenings Elkton
(Md) correspondent speaks of the
prospect of Il spring Fair, by the
Cecil County Agricultural Society.
Such Il movement, if rightly con-
Quoted, would prove successful. tinan-
ciallv as well as otherwise, There
will be. of course, an objection rails
ed by some persons about the rae
inc. which in measure will cUnsti-
tute the meeting. \ spring Fair
would give an opportunity for the
proper display of agricultural nipple
ments, phosphatcs, stock of all
classes, and the ladies department
need not be shorn Of any Of its at
tractiveness and worth. The time
for the exhibition generally falls in
the "month of roses, and when
spring is budding into summer. II
is a time that the farmer, after 8
long winter and chilly spring, would
arouse himself into action, and call
ing to his boys, tell them to "slicl
up the critters for the coming cxhi
bition." We earnestly hope tn
managers will give spring Fair
1t will do them good and please TIN
people.

THE latest thing now, is to do
away all parades and displays hith-
erto shown, at the Inauguration OF
the President. Perhaps this would
do very well, but it looks almost
impossible to hold the Democrats
under any bonds just at such an
occasion. If there is much fuss and
jollifcation at the Inauguration cere-
monies, considerable excuse can be
made. However we are in favor OF
quiet affair, and "retum to the
simplicity Of our forefathers.

THE p, w. and B. Railroad are
contemplating straightning their
line to Baltimore. beginning south
of Newark. This is merely rumor,
yet such an undertaking would no
doubt prove beneficial in many res
poets. 1t would lessen the distance,
and by doing so avoid the heavy
grades at Iron Hill and Bacon Hill,
and the sharp curve mt the former
place. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will be quick to recognize
the feasibility of the above if it be
TO the best interests of itself and the

A Duel With Kni,cs.

SOUTH BosroN, Va, September H..
"A deadly encounter took place
near Whitmell between John Dixon
and Jackson Davis, two rivals. A
Baptist revival has been progress
ing in the vicinity since Monday
night, among the visitors to which
was Ellen Alton, aged 10, who re-
ceived much attention from the
young men. Dixon and Davis were
the most persistent admirers. She
inadvertently made an engagement
with both of them for last night, and
each repaired to her house at the
hour fixed to escort her to church.
She settled the matter by accepting
Dixon's escort for the evening. as
she thought he had the prior claim
Davis sulked all evening during the
religious exercises. After Dixon had
taken his charge home the men met
in the road near her house bv agree
ment. 1t is understood both were
armed with knives, and had a duel
in which Dixon left his rival lying
in the road and fed. Davis worst
wound was terrible stab in the
stomach, which is believed to be
mortal.

if Morgan. for the determination of
a band of horse thieves that haye
long infested that section. Brand,
one of the gang, was arrested and
placed in Jail to-day. He confessed
that there is a regularly organized
band, with strongholds at points
through Tennessee and Kentucky,
so thot stolen property can be rush.
ed from station to station with safe

been stolen and the citizens are arm
ing to clear the State of the despera-
does. Trouble is anticipated. Sher-
iff Morgan was formerly one of the
most renowned of the moonshiners,
but has reformed, and has since
done much valuable work toward
ridding the State of lawlessness. The
robber band is composed of desper-
ate outlaws.

WHAT Republican does not re-
member how four years ago last
Tuesday night, dismay sat upon
the hearts of the friends of General
Garfield when it was flashed along
the wires that Maine was lost? ? Now
the victory is SO sweeping as to daze
the most hopeful. We elect Gov
ernor by a majority greater than was
ever before given in the State for
that office, and that, too, on the
largest vote ever polled. We carry
every Congressional district, secure
every member OF the State Senate
and have an overwhelming majority
in the House, while every county in
the state has gone Republican. This
is more than the most sanguine Re-
publican had dared hope for, worse
than the most timid Democrat had
/ feared. Governor Robie has the un-
precedented majority of 20, ,6l5 votes.
Itis no wonder that in the face of
this, the Democrats are sick unto
death, and their ever ready calcula-
tors have abandoned as hopeless all
attempts to explain away this crush
ing majority. Previous to the cleo
ton, when the Republican State
Committee was claiming 10000, they
said that nothing less than 1000
majority could be regarded as a
tribute to Mr.. Blaine's strength /;
when the returns indicated 1900
they moved their figures up to 20,-
600. asserting that nothing less
would help him in other States, and
now when even this Improbable fig
ure has been passed, they are as
dumb as an oyster. For the first
time within the memory OF man the
noise and brag and bluster has been
knocked out of them, and for once
in their lives they realize what ri
diculous asses they have made OF
themselves. When they have re-
covered from their stupor, and by
pinching themselves and tweaking
their noses, and in other ways ascer-
tanning,
"If this be ]. as ! suppose it be-"
they will commence clustering and
shrieking and making spectacle Of
themselves by boasGng that Ohio
will certainly go Democratic, for
here the liquor dealers and the Ger
mans will resent to Mr.. Blaine the
prohibition vote in his own State,
and the people unswayed by state
pride or by his Immediate presence,
will sternly rebuke his lack of per-
sonal integrity. But the fact cannot
be discounted that the people OF
Maine, who know him best, have
indirectly passed upon the charges

MR.. RLAINE's MODEST EXPECTATIONS.
Senator Cullum, of Illinois, arriv-
ed in New York yesterday from
Maine, where he assisted in the can
vass. He was in Augusta on cleo
ton day, at Mr.. Blsine's residence.
He says that the Republican major
ity was more than double that antic-
ipated by Mr.. Blaine, who had been
expecting from 5000 to 5000, and
would have been satisfied with the
minimum estimate. Mr.. Blaine he
reports to bein most excellent health
and spirits, and confident of his cleo

NEVER was there an engineer
more handsomely "hoist with his
own petard, than were the Demo
Gratis of Maine with their prohibition
engine. With the intent of using
the vote in favor of Prohibition in
that State against Mr.. Blaine in
Ohio and other Western States, con-
tanning large numbers of Germans
and other anti -prohibitionists, they
sought to swell it up to the full
measure of the Republican strength,
by quietly casting their ballots for
it. But in their eagerness, and In
their ignorance of the general senti-
ment of the people, they piled it on
too thick, and consequently prohibi-
ton has 1900 majority where the
Republicans have but 10000, thus
proving that there were as many
Democratic as Republican votes cast
for it, and in most laughable man
ner exposing their trickery, uncov-
ering their hypocrisy and leaving
them naked to the scorn of their en-
emies.

The attempts of the Democrats
and Independents to persuade them
selves that, after all there wasn't
much of shower in Maine, are
most laughable. Among Others,
Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, with most sublime assurance,
turns from his falsified predictions
and cheerfully falls back upon the
assertion that the old parties are
rapidly disintegrating and that the
Western States, will, in November,
assure the overthrow of the Repub-
licans.
Better put up your umbrella, Col
onel. A few more showers, such as
that in Maine, will not only spoil
your natty clothes, bat may drown
out of you the gift of prophecy.

gold DiscoyerX.

HELENA, September l0.-There is
great excitement at BENTON over the
confirmation of the report of an inn
portant gold discovery in the little
Rocky Mountains, 100 miles north
east of that place. When the discov-
cry was first reported the citizens OF
Benton sent a committee consisting
of ?. H. Aspling and Dennis Halpin
to investigate the matter. They tele-
graphed to-day that the mines were
good. About 100 claims were taken
up. Those worked pay from s6 to
S11 per day to a man working with
an ordinary gold pan. In one in.
stance $500 was taken from pit 20
feet square. Jerry Collins, the edit
or of the Benton River Press, tele-
graphs that half the citizens Of the
town are either preparing to join the
stampede or are already gone.

Gratifying Figures.

AUGUSTA, September 10-The fol-
lowing dispatch was forwarded from
here to-day:
Hon. John A. Logan, Illinois.
Returns from remote sections of
the State increase the majority be-
yond all expectation. In 35S towns
the Republican majority over Red
man exceeds $4,000, and the pros
pect is that in the complete returns
the majority may reach 1900, and
possibly be the largest ever given in
the history of the Republican party
in Maine, with two exceptions at the
close of the war. The latest returns
show that the Republicans have
carried every county in the State,
and have elected every member OF
the State Senate. The magnitude OF
the Republican vote is a surprise to
both parties, and shows that large
number of Democrats joined our
ranks.
