Fusion tickets did not do well in Maryland
this year. In Baltimore and Anne Arundel
counties tickets of that kind blossomed out
beautifully, and those who nurtured them had
high hopes. The one in Baltimore ignomin-
iously failed in October, and in November
fell to pieces. Disaster overlook the Anne
Arundel blossom last week, and it went to
ruin. Maryland is not good place for Fusion
movements. They spring from revenge or
envy, and the voters of this state are actuated
by reason rather than passion.

Ohio has been taken from the list of Octo-
her states, an amendment to the constitution
to change the election from October to No
vember, having been adopted by over SOC, 600
majority at the election last month. West
Virginia is now the only October state, but
its power and influence on the country is not
great, and it is not doubtful state, like Ohio
sometimes is.

The Philadelphia Press notes that every
Republican element which opposed Blaine
favored Davenport; and yet Blaine lost New
York State by only LOAF, while Davenport
lost 1t by II, 200. New York is Democratic
state on strict division of parties. The
State cast her electoral vote for Seymour IN
1868, for Tilden in 1876 and for Cleveland in
1884. Half of the thirty-four Congressman
from the state are Democrats, and the Demo
Gratis succeeded in electing United States
Senrtor few years back, and will probably
elect another when vacancy occurs. New
York is Democratic.

Benjamin Hardesty is no longer postmaster
at Collington, Prince Georges county, in this
state. Benjamin forgot that Democratic
Administration ruled in Washington, and he
kept on as he used to do under Republican
Administrations. He was very much inter
ested in the result in Prince Georges county,
and so much so he forgot to meet the train on
election day and get the mail pouch, which
was left on the platform at the depot for
twelve hours. Benjamin also enticed Demo
Gratis to the number of twenty into his store
the same day, and handed around liquid re-
freshments until his company got too weak
kneed to go and vote. For these perfor-
mances he has been removed as postmaster
and Robert L. Mulliken, Democrat, is now

Politics in cecil.

Politics seem to be more mixed in Cecil
than in an any other county in the state. At
the late election ex Senator Cresswell, II. r.
Torbert, editor of the Republican organ of
Cecil, and other Stalwart Republicans, stood
at the polls in Elkton and worked for part of
the Democratic ticket, and Albert Constable, a
Democratic leader, and some of his followers,
worked for part Of the Republican ticket.
After the election the Cecil w hfg, Torbert's
paper, gave notice to Mr.. Warburton, the
Half Breed leader, who has control of the
party machinery in the courty, that there
must be hereafter IAN honorable peace or an
open war" between the Half Breeds and Stall
warts, for the StaIwarts in the late election
showed that they could strike back. The
Wing alleges that no Republican can be nom
mated in Cecil without Mr.. Warburton's sane
ton, aud that Warburton is under the abso-
Lutte control of Mr. Constable, Democratic

A Sensation at York.

York, Pa, Nov. 12-About a year ago
Mrs. Berg, doctress, who kept house in the
southeastern section of the town for Mr..
Kohler, man named Daniels and another
man, disappeared suddenly, and it was given
out by the men she had gone to Germany. 1t
was supposed at the time that she had con-
siderable money. On Tuesday last suspicion
of the neighbors caused a search, and buried
in the cellar of the house the remains of q
woman were found Charles Trevort, a
boarder in the family, was arrested, and con-
fessed that last spring, led by the appearance
of the ground in the corner of the cellar and
a smell emanating therefrom, he dug and
found a corpse of a woman. Fearing that he
would get his companions in trouble if he
made known his discovery, he reinterred the
body and kept quiet. Great excitement in
the vicinity attends the investigation, which
is now going on. One of the rumors ahoat is
that the woman committed suicide and was
buried by the inmates of the house in ignor-
ance of requirements of the law.
The body of Rosina Berg was exhumed by
the coroner this evening. Around the neck
was twisted rope and handkerchief The
walls are spotted with blood, and a short
piece of rope hangs from the joist of the floor
above the grave. Mrs. Berg was known to
have had about 81, 500 shortly before her dis
appearance which had been left her by her
husband In ditch near the grave was found
the clothing of the dead woman, which was
identified. A jury was impaneled, but the
investigation was adjourned until morrow.

There were thirty.six deaths from small

"a child who died of smallpox had pet cat,
which it fondled during itsillness. When the
health officials came to disiGfect the house
the cat was found to be covered with small

Typhoid fever and diphtheria are prevalent
in Montreal, in addition to the smallpox,
their presence being attributed to the filthiness
of certain portions of the city. The number
of deaths from smallpox since the outbreak
of the epidemic in Montreal has been 264l,
of which 24O4 were French Canadian Catho-
lies. 40 were Catholics of other nationalities,
and 81 were Protestants. Sixteen hundred of
the victims were under five years of age.

General Orders No. 4.
First-The singing of the birds, the snowy
coverlet exchanged for mantle of green
reminds us that our annual memorial day,
May 30, is near at hand. Remembered be
the lives and deeds of our comrades who
have gone to bivouac with the dead; like
tired children they lay down by the way
side and fell asleep, and we pause to drop a
soldiers tear and deck their graves with
beautiful flowers. How expressive at this
time is the language of the pansy-' think
of me-, and the blue violet that magic word
-''love.'
Second-Comrades, show to the world
your loyalty to the memory Of those who
were loyal in their country's need. Let the
exercises be of such nature that it will in
deed be memorial day and not holiday.
Let fraternal and cordial invitation be ex-
tended to the Woman's Relief corps and to
your citizens to join you in these beautiful
ceremonies. Earnestly request the clergy
OF your towns and cities to hold appropriate
memorial services in their churches Sunday,
May 81, and let each post attend these SER
vices on that day in body.

reports of the part taken by their posts in
these exercises to Rev. j. n. Brown, De-
