Mr.. Editor.-To guard against the
ravages of the cholera during the coming
summer every precaution should be taken
both by the town authorities and the cit
liens in general. Therefore, in electing a
new board of commissioners no one should
be selected who will not, regardless OF
person or persons, pledge themselves tc
see that no nuisances are permitted, es
pecially hog pens, which is one of the
greatest sources of spreading this awful
disease. My experience during it's pre-
valence in the South is that, wherever
hog pens were permitted, there the death
rate was greatest, and in some towns the
hogs were attacked first and then the
people. No matter what care may be
taken to keep them clean, still during
the nights they are filling the air with
poison and spreading sickness broad
cast. can ounce of preventive, is better
than pounds of care"

What Will Surely Do it.

Ones hair begins to fall out from many
causes. Tho important question is: What
is sure to make it grow in again. According
to the testimony of thousands, Parker S
Hair Balsam will do it. 1t quickly covers
bald spots, restores the original color when,
the hair is gray or faded, eradicates dand-
ruff, and causes the scalp to feel cool and
well. 1t is not a dye, not greasy, highly
perfumed, safe. Never disappoints those
who require nice, reliable dressing.

Almost an Accident.

Last Sunday evening Mr.. Henry Hess,
of Fair Hill, in this county, made uar-
row escape from being struck by the
north-bound express which passes this
with his wife, he drove out of the FELTON,
House yard on his way home. There is no
gatemen on duty on Sunday and conse-
quently no one at the crossing to warn
travellers of an approaching train. The
Bow street crossing near the FELTON,
House is a dangerous one at best, the
hotel building shutting off all view of the
track to the southwark, until almost
upon it. Mr.. Hess did not hear the ap-
preaching train and did not and indeed
could not see it until his horse was within
few feet of the track. Fortunately he
was driving quiet horse, and retaining
his presence of mind he managed to hold
him back until the train passed. 1t GER
tainly was narrow shave. There g
frequently nearly as many trains on Sun
day as any other day and we cannot
imagine why the company does not con-
slder Waterman as necessary on that
day as others. Mr.. Hess has been ac-
customed to crossing the road at this
point several times a week for years
past, and the fact that there is no watch
man there on Sundays may have slipped
his memory and seeing the gates up,
concluded that all was right. The CON-
pany may save trouble and expense in
the future by having a gate keeper at
these crossings on Sundays, One set of
watchmen is not sufficient. There should
be two, one for day, and one for night.

The Strikers Still on the Strike

The trouble among the foundry hands
of Messrs. Bibb & Son at their Port De-
posit foundry still continues. They have
partially filled the places of the strikers
with non union men, and the former per-
sistently endeavor to prevent them from
working. On Monday evening last Theo.
II. Porter was arrested by Constable
White on a warrant obtained by John A.
Scott, who charged Porter with unpro-
voked assault assault on him while he
(Scott) was employed at his work as
stove moulder in the foundry of Messrs.
B. G. Bib s Son. Justice Abrahams,
after hearing OF the case, imposed q
fine of So and costs on Porter, and 1e-
CURED him to give security in the sum
of $50 to keep the peace. Porter was al
lowed to go in search of bail and while
absent, it is charged, committed another
assault on Norris Hawkins, another en-
ploye of Messrs. Bib, who was on his
way home from work. Hawkins imme-
diately swore out warrant against Por-
ter and he was second time brought
before Justice Abrahams, who in this
case imposed fine of So and required
him to give bond in the sun of $10e for
his good behaviour. Porter was again
allowed to go in search of bail, and up to
this time has not put in an appearance.
Constable White is looking for him with
commitment. Porter is one of the
striking meulders at B. G. Bibb & Sons
stove works, and Scott and Hawkins are
two of the non-union men now employed
in their places. Scott was not much hurt,
but Hawkins was severely beaten.

The Americdn .4gricuHWia has just issued a
magnificent stpple style line portrait of General
Grant, executed by one OF the very first artists in
the country. The great warrior is sitting in an
easy chair in his now famous library: the express
sion on his countenance is exceedingly lite-like,
ana the whole picture is grand and striking in
appearance. far surprising any previous likeness
OF General Grant. Its great merit is due to the
fact that it is from General Grants last sitting
prior t. the hna prostraton: that is. it presents
him as Il picture OF health Just before the fatal
disease compelled him to withdraw from the
world. Other portraits, while they present him
in health, do not show his features and general
appearance at late period.
The popular price OF the american AgricuHurist
is 81 80 per year. We have made arrangements
with the publishers. whereby We are enabled to
send, post-tree, in a tube specially made for the
purpose, this portrait OF General Grant. the amer

OF the receipt of the first number, and the CECIL

Port Deposit, in this county, has assumed
moro formidable proportions than was an
ticipated when it began. Messrs Bibb &
Co, seem determined not to comply with
the terms of the strikers, and. they appear
to be almost equally determined neither to
go to work or to allow non-union men ia
fill their places. On Thursday last thu
came to Elkton and after consultation with
States Attorney Bratton swore out warrants
| for the arrest Of Theodore Porter, one of the
Oldest workmen in the foundry, and an.
other former employe-now on strike
James Buck on tho charge of threats
of injury to the owners, and attempts to
intimidate the non-union employees. Squire
Scott issued the warrants and placed them
| in the hands of an officer for service. Buck
gave bail for his appearance at court before
a magistrate at Port deposit. Porter's was
heard by Magistrate Scott, who dismissed
him, there being no case against him.

LAID TO REST.
Burial of Robert Hussey, One of the
Youthful Victims.

Youthful Victims.
Yesterday afternoon the remains of Rob
ert Hussey, the playmate of the Rand boys,
who lost his life in the lake disaster last
Sunday, were quietly consigned to rest IN
Lakewood cemetery. At the residence of
his parents, No. $40 Eighth street south,
a scene full Of pathoS was enacted. The
family is comparative stranger in Mime
apolis, but such was the general sympathy
with all who were made to suffer by that
calamity that an immense concourSe Of peo-
pie assembled to attend the burial services.
The small caSket was buried beneath the
floral tributes of friends and from the midst
of the sweet flowers the boyish face smiled
up with a sweetness even death could not
extinguish. DR.. Robert G. Hutchins of the
Plymouth church conducted the services
and tears stood very near the eyes of the
listeners as he dwelt on the sad accident
and spoke of the inconsolable family. The
tears came freely when, after hush, that
pathetic, yet sad, requiem, ''Asleep in
Jesus" was softly sung by the quartet
choir of Plymouth church. The casket was
borne from the house by six playfellows OF
the dead boy, Harry Jones, Willie Skiles,
the two Folds brothers and the two Hickey
brothers. The body was deposited in Lake
wood cemetery and the small mound
marked by a fragrant heap of bright flow
erS.
The family of Mr.. n. B. Hussey has been
almost overcome by this. the first sad break
in its circle. The bright boy, whose face
must have carried sunshine into the dark
waters of the lake, was all of a fathers
hope and more of mothers JOY and his
loss is mourned with grief that only time
can soften. Three children yet remain,
Frank, Matte and Mamie.

ness of discovering flaws in the titles to
property in Bismarck and other places, and
have endeavored to eXtort money by threats
of suing TO depose the innoc ent property
owners. A number of vigorous addresses
were made. Bernard Hunt probably voiced
the feeling of the meeting when he said:

takes frsn me the property have worked

finally decided that each property owner
