about the Wholesale slaughter ot

about the dead heathens. Ii
the numbers may be increased by facts
at the same ratio as dead English

the entire population of the Soudan

THE KENTUCKY Supreme Court
has just decided that a contract made
by telephone is valid and can be sus-
tanned in court. 1t has been supposed
heretofore that the difficulty in sus-
tanning an agreement made between
parties miles apart would arise from
the want of proof that the parties who
did the talking over the wire were the
persons they represented themselves
to be, In the case decided the op-
orator at one end of the line
did the talking for the principal and
reported the conversation in the hear
ing of witnesses, whose testimony the
court admitted on the ground that the
operator acted the part of an interpre-
-ter. With all this counting going on
through the phones, it may be expect
ed, after awhile, that there will also
be a good crop of breach Of promise
cases.

Economy Suggested.

A short time ago the Secretary of the
Treasury addressed circular to the Collec,
tors of Customs, asking them to suggest
methods for a more economical management
of their respective offices. In reply to this
circular, Col. E. H. Webster, Collector of the
port of Baltimore, suggested to the Secretary
that "the office of Deputy Collector at Havre
de Grace might be abolished without detri-
ment to the public service. Since the abol-
ishment of hospital dues, the revenues from
that office have greatly decreased, and
amount at this time to a very small part of
the compensation of the Office in charge. His
duties, though always faithfully performed,
are now about commensurate with his COL.
lections."
Col. Webster also recommends that in the
present depressed condition of foreign trade
five clerks in his office might be temporarily,
at least, dispensed with, and that an exam-
ner and two laborers might with propriety
be dropped in the appraisers department.
The government, it is estimated, would save
$4,000 a year by adopting Col. Websters
suggestions
The administration at Washington seems
to be thoroughly in earnest in carrying out
Democratic pledges ofeconomy and retrench-
ment, and in a short time the country Will
see vastly purified and improved public
service.

ing stock end implements were seized by the
Sheriff, under various attachments. His attor-
ney, Col. Herman Stump, in order to enable
Prendible to complete his contract, became Sc
curity for the forthcoming of the property and
allowed Prendible to use the property and COM
plete his contract, taking chattel mortgage to
indemnify himself. Prendible having finished
his work in Hartford, took his horses to Will
mington, Del, where they were seized for debt
under an attachment issued by Delaware
court. Col, Stump on Monday went TO Will
mington and depositing lurgc sum of money
replevicd the property under his chattel mort
gage, and as agent for the Sheriff of Hartford
county, who had seized it, Col. Stump dispos-
ed of part of the property and brought the re-
mander back to Maryland.
Tho trial of these repevin aud attachment
suits in Wilmington will involve some very in
teresting points of law, one of which is, how
far an attachment issued and levied upon prop
erty in Maryland will bind such property, when
subsequently removed TO another State and at
tached there.
Another question involved is the right of the
holder of a chattel mortgage executed in Mary
land to hold the personal property as against a
subsequent attaching creditor upon the same
property found in the State Of Delaware.

young men, full of muscle and activity. Bel Air
labored under some disadvantage, on account of
the absence of their regular pitcher, Mr.. John

ably. A fine double play was made by Gordon,
of Bel Air. Scott, of Darlington, knocked hot

caught, and as quick as gh thing sent to 3d base

Darlington agreed to the change, provided it was

Better Times Coming.

The New York World thinks the CONNER

basis is being laid for revival of confidence
which may in turn set the wheels of trade
and commerce in active motion next autumn.
Large auction sales OF dry goods have taken
place in New York at prices very little be-
low the current market rates, indicating, says
the World, that consumption is increasing
and that buyers think this is good time to
lay in stock. The World adds:
zone of the underlying causes for the long
depression in trade has been an indisposition
to purchase in the hope of being able to secure
better terms by waiting. Hence the demand
has been reduced to a minimum, while mills
have been kept running long after their opera
tion had been found Improbable, if only for the
purpose of keeping hands employed and to pre-
vent loss on machinery, which always results
from shutdown"
