Salaries ON the Canal.-A dispa

WI thC dlSpdlCu
from Frederick, dated December 2Sth, says
"Col. L. V. Baughman, President of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, has issued in
structions to Paymaster Gambrill to notify
the employees at Cumberland and George
town that they will he put upon half pay
4 during the months Of january and Febru
ary. This order does not apply to the boss
es and the men under them, who will have
considerable work to perform during the
winter months, as all the repairs to locks
and the bed of the canal are made after the
water is turned off. The lock-keepers have
also been notified that they will be retained
on half pay, for while they will have moth
ing to do, it is necessary that the canal pro.
perty should be protected hence they are
kept to do police duty. Those at Cumber.
land who will be affected by the reduction
in wages are Paymaster Willison, two clerks
and the inspector and gauger There is
work to be done in Cumberland throughout
the winter which will be in the hands of the
collector and those above named. The col.
have nothing whatever to do, will be drop.
ped from the rolls during January and Feb
ruary The two superintendent, Messrs.
Moore and Stanhope, will each receive $75
per month during the winter Their regu.
lar monthly pay has been $l25. The col
lector at Georgetown, Mr.. Snowden, and
clerk, the harbor MASTER engineer at the
outer locks and dredge boss will also be put
on halt pay.
-Col. Baughman expresses il as his belief
that the pay-rols OF the canal have now
been cleared of all unnecessary help, and
that the force has been cut down SO close
that in the event of u brisk season it will re-
quire hard work 10 pull through He is de.
termned, however to adhere strictly TO the
policy laid down IN his letter of acceptance
In speaking OF the counsel for the canal,
over which there seems 10 be disposition
on the part OF some to find fault, Col. b. |
says 1t was distinctly stated that no general
counsel had been appointed. Ex.At.orney-
General Gwinn, as counsel for the company,
he understood, hal been receiving $4,000
per annum, with M extra fees for trial cases.
In reference to the appointment OF ex-Gov.
Thomas an Mr.. Thomas NJ. L,nnhan as
assistant counsel. he hal MT yet examined
the conditions under which they had re.
crived their appointments from his prede-
ccssor, Mr. Smith. AS far as their pay as
assistant counsel is concerned President
Baughman says that unless there is special
contract in existence they will have to take
their chances for payment along with the
other employees Of the canal, who deserve,
in his estimation, much credit for their pa.
tience and loyalty To the company under
very trying circumstances"

W. l.. Coyne seems to be trodding in
a thoruy path. A short time since he
was arrested and found guilty of
willful waste of the city's water. Now
it comes to light, according to the in
dictments returned by the grand jury last
night, that be has been appropriating
the city's gas to his personal use, and
charging it up to the Knights of Labor
organization. 1t seems, according to the
evidence produced before the grand jury,
that Mr.. Coyne has been in the habit of
turning on the meter in the hall occupied
by the Knights of Labor soci ETY., above
his lodging quarters, allowing the gas to
enter the pipe extending into the hall be-
low, which he devoted to his private use.
II seems that the janitor of the hall when
meetings were over, would not turn out
the gas in the hall, but simply shut it of
through the meter. Consequently when
Mr.. Coyne turned the meter on again il
sent the gas all over the hall. The I'M
usual consumption of gas led to an in-
vestigation. resulting as above stated.
The grand jury returned five separate
indictments against the defendant, fol-
which he was arrested by Sheriff Reticker
this morning The amount of gas con-
sumed amounts to $50, and Mr.. Coynt
was held for grand larceny for tina
amount in the SUM of 81 500, and Judgt
Lynde furnishing security,he was released
from custody until time for trial. Mr.
Coyne denies the allegations, and says
is wholly the work of spiteful enemies.

The butchers of the city wish it under
stood that they are well pleased with
their new slaughter house on the Dlngte>
dine place, and are using it altogether tor
killing their meats They are chuck full
of reasons why it is better for all con
cerned to use the present one instead OF
the citys abattoir, and hope the council
will not endeavor to force them to kill at
the CITY institution. A man is hired to
keep their place clean, and things are Just
exactly right with them Meanwhile the
abattom of the city is nearing compile
ton. and the authorities say the butchers
must patronize the new place Although
we are sorry to note the fact, It's eviden
that there is blood on the face of thu
moon as far as the butchers and the city
are concerned

OCEAN PARK.


Yesterday was perfect day at the beach.
The event of the day was the beginning of
the lecture course. The lectureship COM
mittee have engaged Rev. DIR. Dunn, Presi-
dent of Hillsdale College, to deliver a course
of eight lectures on Human Nature" The
first one was given this morning; subject,
"Human Nature-Its Origin" DR.. Dunn
has been tersely described by one of Hills
dale's graduates as a ''fine specimen of
grand bearing old minister" The subject of
the morning was handled in that clear, vigor-
Gus style for which the Doctor is famous.
After defining nature in general, human
nature was defined as that which dis
tinguishes man from everything else in the
Universe The man has that knowledge
which stands out independent of instinct.
The sweetness of mans animal nature is
sometimes mistaken for piety. Human ma
ture has the power of distinguishing between
right and wrong, which we call conscience
Human nature is immortal.
The different theories for the origin of
human nature were considered. The sim
plest is that the mind springs up with the
body because God planned to have it so. The
evolution theory is not incompatible with a
lCuSiOuo LliC doouhpblOn lc-
Semblances prove origin was ridiculed. No
science has ever found a trace of any prop
erty or quality of matter in mind. The eYo-
luton OF mind from matter was emphatically
denied.
At the close of the lecture several ques-
tions were asked, bringing out more fully
some of the points touched.
In the afternoon the woman's convention
was continued from yesterday. Mrs. Burl-
ingame gave one of her interesting Bible
readings. Five minute addresses on mission
work followed by several of the ladies spec
tally interested in this particular branch OF
the Lords work.
AT 30,adjournment was taken to the chap
| ell where an informal meeting was continued
| until late hour.
Mrs. j. X. Barney of Providence, r. l
| National Superintendent of prison, Jail anC
| public work for the w. c. L. u, delivered
| an admirable lecture on temperance, tax
| ing for her subject: From Jerusalem to Je
| richo". She first read the parable of tn,
| man who went from Jerusalem to jericho
| and fell among thieves. Applying this to the
| liquor traffic she arraigned good people who
| passed by on the other side for their indiffer
| ence. Illustrations of thrilling interest were
| taken from the speaker twenty years ex
| perience in work among the unfortunate in
| mates of our prisons and jailS.
This morning at 10, 80 the second lecture OF
the Development Of Woman's Nature" vii
be given, and there will be a Sunday schoo
