Senator Germans Services to the DEM
Ocratic Party.

Shortly after the election Senator German
was everywhere warmly complimented for
the active and effective part he took in the
late Presidential campaign, as chairman of
the National Democratic Executive Commit
tee. 1t was conceded that Democratic sue
cess was due in a great measure to his wisdom,
foresight and tireless energy. With the usual
fate OF those who serve their fellow, men, an
effort is being made to underrate and speak
slightingly of Senator Germans services, and
he has been accused, also of arrogance since
the election. Leading Democrats in Washing
ton, however brand the statement as false and
absurd, and Senator Bayard does not hesitate
to say that Senator German is regarded by all
who know him, as a remarkably modest man,
who never intrudes his opinions upon those
who do not seek them.
owe debt of gratitude to Senator German
While it is possible that some one might have
done as well as Senator Go rman, it is never
theless certain that no one heretofore occu-
plying the same position ever accomplished
the same results. Even the Republican man.
ayers bore testimony to Senator Germans

paign.
Maryland has especial reason to feel proud
that one of her honored sons took SO prom
inent part in a campaign that resulted so
gloriously.

Death has reigned and borne away
A dear wife and friend from my side,
Just in the blossom of her day
In womanhood's pride she died.

In this sad world of trouble,
Where sorrow has no end.

A wife has left this world below,

Pale and beautiful she lies.

reporter of The Sun on Tuesday that DIR. Rowe.

asked permission to ride with him. The Doctor
consented, and took the stranger in his carriage
In short time he saw that his passenger had
on boots and carried revolver, and was a man
instead of woman. The road was lonely, and
the Doctor became uncomfortable. As the car
riagc lurched at rough place in the road the
DIR. allowed his hat to fall overheard, aud asked
his passenger to get it for him. The stranger got
down, and the Doctor whipped up his horse,
leaving his hat and passenger in the road. At
Perrymans the valise was examined and found
to contain burglars tools The AFFAIR is the

FREMAsoNRY IN HARFoRD.-From history
OF freemasonry, now in course of publication,
by Edward 7. Schultz, of Baltimore, notice of
which is given in the Towsontown Journal it
appears that lodge of Freemasons met alter
nately at Joppa and at Bel Air, as far back as
17S1-S4. In 1874 the masonic brethren received
warrant for Bel Air lodge, No. ID. This Lodge
continued in existence but short time. 1t
ceased working in 1898, but was revived some
years afterwards as the present Bel Air lodge,
(Mt. Ararat, No. 44),whch, is a lineal descend
ant of the old Joppa Lodge No. l, chartered in
1765. Indeed, with some propriety, it may be
considered the same Lodge under different names
and held under different authorities. list Of
the names of the members of these Lodges is
given in the work of Mr.. Schultz. Among them
are many whose descendants are now living in
Baltimore and Hartford county and other parts
of our State.

The CONDITION OF THE SUsQUEHANNA.-
Much apprehension exists at Port Deposit on
account of the immense ice gorges in the river.
vast amount of ice has accumulated on the
dam at Columbia to such height and depth
that the safety of the dam and the Pennsylvania
Railroad bridge at that point is threatened
The situation there now is said to be very much
the same us in 1854, just before both the dam
and the bridge were swept away by the ice
Between Port Deposit and Garrett Island there
Is an immense accumulation ofgorged ice, some
of the hummocks being at least Is feet above
the level of the river Persons have ventured
to cross, up to the last few days, but the feat
has been attended with great danger, as the
water has oozed up in places, between the Gre
vices. When general breakup occurs there
must be a freshet and it is feared that 1t will be
one of the most destructive ever known to Port
Deposit.

OBITUAR Y.
Miss GERTRUDE RICHARDSON

MISS GERTRUDE RICHARDSON,
died on Tuesday, January 9th, at the residence
of her brother, DR.. w. s; Richardson in Bel Air,
after long and painful illness.
In those weeks of pain, as she was drawing
nearer to God, that true Christian spirit, for
which she was always conspicuous, seemed to
sustain her, and of her it may be truly said, she
had fought the fight" she had kept the faith"
My hearts faith tells me she has found perfect
peace where she has gone, beyond the river. She
was the prototype of true, Christian woman |;
noted for her amiablity, gentleness and refine
ment AS teacher, as friend and relative, none
was ever more beloved. Fortunate will each of
us be il we will so initiate her virtues, that we
shall be, like her when death comes, at rest until
our freed spirits awaken to the pure light and
blissful scenes of Immortality beyond the grave.
1t is a blessed hope, comforting belief yes
happy conviction that it is not all of death TO
die" that it is but an entrance into eternal life
But she still lives-all of our dear friend and re-
lative that commanded our love or inspired our
admiration, lives in memory, secure in the realm
of the Infinite and Immortal. She leaves many
relatives and friends to mourn the loss of truly
lovely woman in all respects.
"But the night dew that falls, though in silence
it weeps,
Shall brighten with verdure the grave where she
sleeps;
And the tear that we shed, though in secret it
rolls,
Shall long keep her memory green in our souls"

Dynamiters and Their Doings.

The doings of the dynamiters continue to
attract large share of public attention
Cunningham, the man who was arrested for
having caused the explosion in the White
Tower, London, was examined in the Police
Court on Monday. The proof against him
was entirely circumstantial, but strong enough
perhaps, in the present excited state of feel
ing in England. to secure his conviction.
The charge against Cunningham is conspir-
acy, but the public prosecutor gave notice
that the government reserved the privilege
of changing it to high treason. The penalty
for the latter is death for the former impris-
onment
Threats, it is said, have been made by the
dynamiters, to blow up Westminster Abbey
and the British Museum, but they are proba-
bly, idle and vague for the dynamiters are
not likely to give notice where they intend
to strike.
About two o'clock Sunday morning large
plate-glass window in Garry Brothers dry
goods house, on Grand street, New York,
was blown to atoms by dynamite torpedo,
which also did considerable damage to Rid
ley & Sons store, across the street. Garry
Brothers, having reduced the pay of some of
their employees, a number of thom struck,
and the Equality Association, to which the
clerks belonged, has tried to boycott the firm,
by keeping customers away. 1t is suspected
that the outrage was committed by some of
the discharged clerks, but the Equality Asso-
citation disowns the act.
The most exciting event among the dyna-
miters was the shooting of O'Donovan Rosa,
in the streets of New York, on Monday, by
an Englishwoman named Yseult Dudley.
By means of a letter she decoyed Rosa from
his Office into the street, and after conversng
with him for few minutes, he turned away,
when she drew revolver and fired at him
several times, one ball taking effect in his
back wounding him severely but not danger
ously. The woman made no effort to escape
and was arrested on the spot. She admitted
except that she was an Engishwoman. She
is probably crazy.
The news created great excitement in Eng
land, and there is talk of raising fund to de-
fend her.
Rosa has been one of the most blatant agi-
tators. and is believed to have melted dyna-
mite outrages, while keeping out of the way
of danger himself. His real name is jeremiah
O'Donovan, but when he arrived in this coun-
try he added the name Rosa, which is Gaelic
for red, to his name. Very little sympathy
is felt for him, even among his own country.
men, many of whom have long suspected that
Rosa has made his patriotism yield him
luxurious living.
Retaliatory measures have been commenced
in England, and the innocent, as is usually
the case, suffer with the guilty. About 40 900
persons of Irish birth have been discharged
from their situations. The wisdom of this
policy may well be doubted, but it is a nat
ural sequence of the acts of the dynamiters,
who do not hesitate to endanger the lives of
women and children in their efforts to de-
stroy public property in England.
