State of Trade,

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE condi-
ton Of general trade, as reported to
BrddstreetS by special kilograms, is
quite as favorable as that mentioned
at any previous date within seven
weeks past. The steadinesS and
strength manifested by the demand
for dry goods and for wooden fabrics
have encouraged many dealers at
eastern distributing centers to look
for steadiness in the movement, 1t
may be added that the gain in the
demand for pig iron tends in so
degree to inspire the confidence man
ifested in various quarters that the
turn in the tide has at last taken
place, and that the increase in the
consumption of staple commodities
may preserve steady growth. 1t is
welcome sign that no boom is dis.
cernible in any direction. The in
creased distribution of goods is form
ed of a larger number of moderate
sized orders and in many instances
of unexpected duplicate demands.
Eastern agents and jObber5 of dry
goods continue to do fair business,
but as retailers are fairly well stock
ed up sales are not as large as they
have been. Additional brands of
brown and bleached cottOns have
been advanced in price. Boots and
shoes are in much better request, but
prices are low. The features Of the
general situation are, however, not
uniform. Anthracite coal and wheat
and Indian corn and -four are all suf
fering from extremely depressed
prices and slack demand. These
must be supplemented by reference
to quite severe railway competition
and wars of rates south, northwest
and east from Chicago. With wheat
coming to sea-board at &c per 100
pounds to New York, and &c to Bal
timore, there can be little that is
favorable inferred as to prospective
railway earnings. The prices of the
leading cereals continue low from
causes now well known. Provisions
and hog products are duh and steady.
The farmers at the North west are re-
fusing to market their grain at exist
ing rates, and in many instances are
preparing to hold it until quotations
offered are much higher. Petroleum
is only moderately active and is de-
pressed to some extent by reports of
renewed activity in the oil regions.
Grocery staples continue to move
slowly, sugar alone being active and
higher. Dairy products are in slow
demand.

Hon. A. B. Cornell, chairman of
the subscription committee, has re-
sponded to a request that he give the
public his idea of the form the New
York Grant memorial should take.
He proposes library and a museum,
all connected and embracing within
one grand c1ifire and enclosure the
following SUBJECTS:
First-A majestic column of appro-
pirate design, containing memorial
chapel, within which shall be depOs-
tied the mortal remains of the illus
triOus dead.
SecOnd-A library containing es-
pecialIy the writings of General
Grant and of others concerning his
military and civil administration and
his travels; also a complete collection
of publications concerning the late
war; also upon American history.
Third-A museum for the deposit
of relics and mementoes of the late
civil war AS we'll as our earlier con.
tiicts, including specimens of nipple.
ments Of war of interest historically
The interior of the edifice might con.
tain tablets bearing the names of the
military and naval heroes of the
country of recent and early periods.

Reform Outrage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24,-Among
the clerks discharged from the Treas
ury last week was Mrs. Mary Z.
Kali, of Ohio. Mrs. Kali is a well.
known lady of literary ability and
author of several poems of merit.
She is poor, and with her children
depending on her salary for her liv-
ing. The went to Auditor John S.
Williams to see if her case was
hopeless and asked him why she was
discharged.
"Bacause you are an offensive par
tisan," was the reply, with the rough
ness and impoliteneSs characteristic
of Mr.. Williams.
"Was l not efficient and faithful
and was not my work satisfactory ~
asked Mrs. Kali.
"CertainIy. No complaints IL
make. You are simply put out be
cause, as | tell you, you have been al
offensive partisan"
SIN what did my offensive parti
sanship consist?" was Mrs. KALI
next question.
"You wrote campaign song foI
the Republicans in Ohio" was tn,
reply. "Good day."

The people whose houses were not
ruined began at once to care for their
unfortunate fellow-sufferers, but the
farmers soon began to pour into
town, drawn by curiosity, but at the
same time bringing with them sub
stantial aid for the destitute.
The loss on buildings alone is about
s175, 600. Among the incidents of the
disaster was the blowing of the house
of w. Thorp entirely to pieces or out
of sight. The three occupants were
dropped across the street, with only
Mrs. ThOrp severely bruised. The
fothers had but slight hurts. The
house cannot be found.
The killed are Mrs. Mollie Jones,
Edith Floyd, Ella Forsha, Jennie
Forsha and Flora Carr. Herbert
Taggert, James Jackson and John c.
Van Pelt are thought to be fatally in
jured. Among the seriously injured
are Mrs. w. p. Irving, B. Hess, Mil

Slightly Disfgurd.

WASHINGTON, September 49,
Some days ago John Poe HOdnett,
professional labor man--that is, one
who does the talking while Others
work-held a meeting ty himself of
the United Labor League and per-
sonally resolved that this alleged or
ganization was opposed to the Civil
Service law. To-day h obtained adj
mission to the Presidents room and
as Mr.. Cleveland was passing around
the line and reached him he said in a
voice for all present 20 hear, "Mr.
President, our labor league has adop-
ted resolution in favor of testing
the constitutionality Of the Civil Ser
vice law, Now, we want you to
help u.s." Here John Pope stopped
and smiled till he noticed that the
President looked as if he suspected
him of being a crank, when he grew
red in the face and gave up smiling.
The President said, "Well, what do
you want me to do ?"
"We want YOU" said Hodnett. "to
give directions that the salary of one
of the Civil Service Commissioners
be withheld until he has applied
for mandamus so that the cOnstitu-
tionality of the law can thus be test
ed"
"No, sir" said Mr.. Cleveland ;
"no, sir, you don't get any help from
me. l wish you to know that l am
in favor of the civil service law.
want to see it succeed. l think you
had better give that scheme up"
But Mr.. Hodnett. who had long
afflicted Washington with his vaga
ries, went out, and later was seen on
Pennsylvania avenue distributing
circulars calling a public meeting to
denounce "the civil service humbug. ,

A Furious Cyclone.

SPRINGFIELD, o.. Sept. S.-A ter
riSle cyclone struck Washington
Court House. city of 4, 1000 inhabi-
tants fifty-seyen miles west of here,
at O'Clock this evening and almost
Utterly swept it from the earth. 1t
came from the northwest and broke
upon the town very suddenly carry
ing everything before it. The tor
nado whirled up Court street, the
main business thoroughfare and ruin
ed almost every business block on it.
Hardly priytae residence in the
town escaped, fully 1,400 buildings
going down. The Baptist, Presby-
terrain and Catholic churches all
suffered the common fate. The Ohio
Southern, Panhandle Narrow Gauge
and Midland railroad depots were
blown to smithereens and eyery
building in the vicinity was carried
away, making ingress and egress al
most impossible, as every wire with
in circle of two miles. is down.
CINCINNATI, o., Sept. S.-TC-lay
this prosperous town is a mass of ru-
ms. A heavy rainfall began about s
O'Clock last night. Shortly after the
rain began the wind came with
terrifying sound. Its work was al
most instantaneous. People say it
was over in two minutes. The fierce
roaring of the terrible tornado, the
crashing of broken and falling build
ings, the sharp flashes of lightning,
the rolling thunder and the pitiless
rain, combined to produce sensa-
tions of the most horrifying charac-
ter.
With daylight came a most dis.
heartening spectacle. The fair town
of yesterday was torn and wrecked in
disordered heaps; the streets we'll
nigh impossible from trees and parts
of houses. Worst ofall was the sight
of the poor, who had lost all and who
had no place to lay their heads, and
VINO wandered hopelessly about.

Hard Lines for the Bosses.

From Towson Journal (Straightout Dem)
"COme, let US reason together !"
Prudent politicians never take any.
thing for granted in a partisan battle.
Hard facts, bOttom-rOck certainties
are sought for by all leaders who pro-
pose to win victory at the November
election. And it is entirely proper
to inquire if the counties OF Maryland
do just now proffer any assurance
that there will be Democratic ma
jority in the next legislature.
On the Eastern Shore it isn't safe
to bet on any counties except Wor.
cester and Wicomico. Somerset
seems to be at the mercy of the Pro-
hibition fanatics. Dorchester is of
strong Republican proclivities, and
Talbot and Caroline are in the same
boat. Kent never was to be depend
ed upon for Democratic victory.
Queen Anne isssenselessly distracted
over the Jury" or lottery" method
of making nominations, but may bob
up all right. And Cecil county is
quite likely to elect Republican
ticket if the Constable and Groome
factions keep up their useless fight.
On the Western Shore there will
be needed strong hands to secure in
the legislature a Democratic delega-
ton from Allegany. Garrett, Wash.
ingtOn and Montgomery counties.
Hartford, Howard and Carroll are
reasonably safe; but he is over SAN
guine who bets largely on Anne
Arundel, Prince George, Calvert,
Charles or st. Mary. Frederick

The Scramble for Nominations.

Hagerstown Mail, Dem.
1t is with no boding of good to the
party that we observe in so many of
the counties and especially in the
city such an unseemly scramble for
nominations. The whole thing
seems to. be reduced to "wild hunt"
for office without any regard to poll
tics, measures, fitness or availability.
Nominations for the Legislature are
being made, not with reference to
measures or economies, but as to
who shall be Governor, Treasurer or
Senator; and so in local nominations
in Baltimore-they are all swallowed
up in one single thought whether
they shall be Raisin, Slater or Morri.
son, or who among the bosses or
managers shall have control in the
councils. In all the scram-
blings for nomination we have not
seen single reference to measures OF
government; to the economies, to. be
practiced; to the abuses still TO be re-
moved; to the retrenchments that
still can be made; to the payment of
our debts; to the reduction # the
onerous, and oppressive taxes We are
paying-but only as to Whether this
one or that one shall have thisor that
office, reducing, as we hav before
said, the whole political machinery
to personal aims and object.

The Ohio Corn Crop.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 15.-The
corn crop in Northern Ohio will he
heavier than was hoped for, Early
in the season the bad weather delay
ed planting and the cold rains retar-
ded growth in May. The crop. while
not up to the average, will, however,
be quite satisfactory for these rea-
sons. The weather at present is
splendid for the developing process,
and farmers say that the crop is now
so far matured that the frost will not
injure it. AS yet there has been no
damage.

The big Woods" of Minnesota
well deserve the name, for they cover
5000 square miles, or 5000, 600 acres
of surface, These woods contain only
hardwood grOWths, including white
and black oak, maple, hickory, lass
wood, elm, cottonwood, tamarack,
and enough other varieties to make
an aggregate of over fifty different
kinds. The hardwood tract extends
in belt across the middle of the
state. and surrounding its northeast
ern corner is an immense pine region
covering $4,000 square miles, or 49,
40, 600 acres.

JAS. A. HAYDEN,
Chairman County Committee.

Only short time ago Hon. A. P.
German and Mr.. M. Bannon were
very bitter enemies. They passed
each other by without even speak
ing. Mr.. Bannon searched his vocab-
ulary in vain for an epithet mean
enough to apply to Mr.. German.
There are other Democratic bosses
who have been at the outs also. 1t
seems, however, that these willy gen.
tlemen have at last discovered the
fact that house DIVIDED against itself
cannot stand. not even if it be clip
per-rigged and iron-clad Democracy.
The same gentlemen discovered
further that. whilst they were max
ing faces and calling each other
names, the grandmothers' fund was
gradually diminishing; and, worse
still, many of those who had been
only privates in the grand old party
aspired to leaderships and were dis
posed to set up housekeeping on
their own account. At this juncture
Hon. A. P. German. notwithstand-
ing the unfayOrable circumstance to
which we have referred, desires to be
reelected to the U. S. Senate. He,
shrewd politician that he is, sees it is
necessary to harmonic the various
elements in his party. So the bosses
kiss and make friends and for time
all is as calm and serene as a May
morning. The bosses then decide TO
boom Postmaster Veazy for the may
orality of Baltimore, but that failed
and German is likely to be beaten in
his stronghold. Latrobe has discov-
cred that the bosses don't want him,
and he is on the war-path.
Then, down in Anne Arundel,
where Damon was supposed to be
monarch of all he surveyed, disaster
has overtaken the bosses. DIR. George
Wells has buckled on his armor and
carried the county against Bannon
and German combined. There is war
in Anne Arundel. Not satisfied with
this, the anti-ring men turn their
eyes to the mountains of Allegany,
and at one blast of the anti-canal
bugle the followers Of Walsh come
pouring into the primaries from the
highways and the byways until the
county is carried against German.
. And there is war in Allegany.
We might 60 on in this strain, but
enough. What does it all mean? 1t
means that part of the Democracy
is tired of ring rule and bossism. 1t
means also that that party is torn
by internal discussions and strifes. |
1t means that large number of vo-
tiers In that party are ripe for revolt
and mean to throw off the yoke at all
hazards. What is true of the party
in other counties and in other parts
of the State is true Of the party in
this county, and If the Republican |
party will nominate a good ticket in
Garrett county We can lick the De-
mocracy out of its boots. and don't
you forget it.
The bosses cry harmony. harmony,
but there is no harmony. Hannah
will never be happy while Mordical,
the Jew. sets on the Kings gate. !

Mexican GrasshopDer Plague.

PAso DEL NoRTE, MEX, Sept. IA.
To add to the distress of the fever
infected district of the State of Vera
Cruz, it is learned from wealthy resi-.
dents of Vera Cruz. who have fled
from that fever stricken city,tha the
State of Vera Cruz is swarming with
myriads of grasshOppers which are
devouring the crops and everything
green. They are similar to the Kan
sas grasshoppers, but smaller, and
sweep the country of every vestige of
verdure. even to the tender shoots of
the trees. The bean crop, the sole re.
lance of the poor population, is COM
pletely destroyed, which will entail
great suffering upon that Class. The
grasshoppers appeared August LIST,
and are rapidly spreading. They
have appeared in other Southern
States of Mexico, and the rayages are
reported as equalIing those reported
in the State of Vera Cruz,
