Washington dispatches say that when our
State Department received information from
the ABstro- Hungarian government that MIR.
Kelley would not be received at the Court of
Vienna because his wife was Jewess, Secre-
tary Bayard indited dispatch TO the Austrian
Emperor in which, with as much vigor as
courtesy, his Majesty was informed that this
republic holds race and religious preiudices
in contempt, and indicated that while the
Austrian ambassador at Washington will be
treated with courtesy as long as he remains,
his hTsall would not be construed by this gov
eminent as an offense The Emperor Francis
Joseph's reply is nov awaited with Interest.
The relations of the United States and Austria
have never been the most cordial in the world,
and this last incident will hardly improve
them.

Another swipdling Ring Unearthed

Mr.. Walsh, the newly appointed foreman
of the Treasury cabinet shop, is said to be en-
gagged in making an investigation of the meth
DDS by which purchases of material were made
by his predecessor. 1t is claimed that he has
discovered the existence Of purchasing ring
in the department, and he expects to make
some very interesting disclosures shortly. In
the item of mahogany used for making Office
furniture, a rich find is said to have been
made. Mr.. Walsh claims that the Treasury
Department paid $3.50 per thousand feet fol-
mahogany, when the same material from the
same dealers was selling in open market al
$50 per thousand. There is said to be a large
stock of this material now in the department;
purchased at the figure first stated. The in
vestigation is being made very quietly, but ii
will be pushed forward as rapidly as circum'

BACK RIVER NECK, RossvILLE,
b 1QCs

BACK RIVER NECK, RossyILLE,
Baltimore county, Aug. II, 1885,, !
Editors Of AdUocdte :-Gentlemen, your
interesting and spicy gazette arrives hebdom-
adary and we perceive that you still adhere
to the old Jeffersonian Democracy-God
speed. Your counsel to the faithful Demo-
Gratis of Maryland is worthy and we trust all
will be on the alert Some of our staunch
Democrats of the country are growing impa-
tient, because the President is removing some
of the chronic ofliceholders so slowly-perse-
we're, all will come right.
To vacate the political field and come down
to husbandry, we must say that the recent
rains have infused new life into the vegetable
kingdom and the agriculturists now rejoice.
Truckers and gardeners have been honestly
compensated for their labors this season.
Among the successful truckers of the
"neck" are Messrs. jeremiah Miller, j. M.
Gillespie, John Foss, Wilson Townsend and
Wilson Shaffer. The last named gentleman,
in conjunction with his brother Gillmor, have
made many improvements upon their farm
lately purchased of JaS. Button. Mr.. Vol
mer, of Back Neck, has greatly improved his
large estate by erecting a fine mansion Mr..
v. is a Phiadelphian and wealthy. Calvin
L. Shaffer, principal Of public school No. 10,
18th district, has built an addition to his
house 34x18 feet and Is feet high. The de-
sign and first class work of this building is
the admiration of all.
Large and small fruits are scarce with us
this year. Crabs have been numerous, and
fish are plentiful now. Ye anglers come forth
and try the piscatorial sport. Joshua Bevans
has first class shore for fishing and ducking.
Philip johnson has delightful grove and
shore belonging to his farm, which has become
ouite a resort for CITY folks.
We wish the New Windsor College and
Windsor Female College much success, as it
has been the Alma Mater of many Maryland
gentlemen. The supplement to the ADyo-
CATE last week was quite interesting.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad extern
sion to Philadelphia is now ready to receive
the rails and we presume ere the expiration
of a year trains will be plying between the
principal cities of the continent.
In conclusion we would say the health of
our community is good, being under the Wig
liant care Of Drs. W. II. and S. Viers Mace
Trust our neighbors in Carroll are enjoying
the same. IYRo.

Pension Frauds.
From the Ner YORK. World.

From the Ne,c York World.
Pension Commissioner Black is doing some
effective work in the way of checking the
frauds in his department. He finds that the
pension rolls throughout the country are
speckled with the names of people who have
no earthly right to draw money from the gov
eminent. In Chicago $50 persons are re-
ceiving pensions who have no lawful claim;
Money il being drawn for men who are dead
and for soldiers widows who are now mar
ried. Gen. Black has a big field in which to
introduce reform, and he is evidently the
man for the work.
