No Truth In IL.

The story in circulation that the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad Company, had compro
missed their differences and that the Is.
& p. road was to stop at Philadelphia is
strenuously denied. The Philadelphia
Press to-day says: Should the terms OF
peace be finally entered into and the
Baltimore and Ohio conclude to accept
transportation for its business over the
Pennsylvania track to New York, 1t Is
not at all probable, as reported, that :he
entire work projected on the East side
of the Schuylkill will he abandoned.
1t may be completed and used for
freight alone or for passenger traffic in
addition. A gentleman in a position to
know said yesterday that certainly the
freight branch extending from the
Schuylkill to the Delaware would be
completed and operated, and the vast
river front property purchased alon
the Delaware woald be used for ship
ping piers. The Baltimore and Ohio,
he said, might have their own depot in
the city or might use the Broad Street
8 tation exclusively of any other depot
Plain proof Of the fact that nothing
has yet been settled is furn ished in the
work on new roads within the city
limits. 1t is still being pushed In all
quarters, and yesterday orders were
given to the compsny's right of way
agent to purchase a number of valua-
BILE properties through which the road
will pass.
In Baltimore the story is not general
ly credited. A despatch states that the
report was treated as news at the Office
of the Baltim,;e & Ohio, and that in
the absence of President Garrett, Mr.,
Cowan stated that there was no truth
whatever in the report, and intimated
that the com pany had only one idea
to push the road into New York.
Mr.. Robert Garrett was seen last
night In Baltimore, and all he would
say in reference to the reported deal
was that in his Judgment the punish
ment of Ananias ought to be going on
extensively, II currency continues to be
given TO such statements.

The Social.

The Congregational church social on
Tuesday evening, at the residence of
DIR. and Mrs Kerr, was an exceedingly
pleasing affair. The doctor and his es-
timable lady entertained the company in
a manner to make all feel at home. The
evening was passed pleasantly in listen.

engaging in various amusing games, and
partaking of elegant refreshments, pre-

persons present vote this, the first So

anxiously await the announcement of
the next. which, we understand, will be
in about two weeks.

Please Rise and Explain.

Rumor says, that at a meeting of the
the board of county commissioners, held
at Cooperstown OH the 7th inst, Ia quo
rum being presently, certain bill, of
doubtful complexion, was audited and
allowed, paying Mr.. liver jacobson
$4O4.l3 by way of reimbursement for
trip to Bismarck as lobbiest for the 's3
tax bill, now pending before house COM
mittee.
A considerable amount has already
been paid the same gentleman, for SER
vices and expenses incurred as assistant
county attorney in the suit brought by
Steele county, restraining the treasurer
of Griggs fro selling certain lands situat-
ed in rarges 56 and 81, for delinquent
taxes of 1883, which perhaps was neces-
sary and all very proper. But why we
should be compelled to pay him as lob
biest is what we don't understand; what
we object to, and what we would like to
hear explained by the commissioners,
who allowed the bill. Did we not elect
a representative to the legislature last
November. to look after the interests of
our county, and why can't he look after
the 'ss tax bill? If he can't, will some
body he kind enough to explain what he
was sent there for; what he is doing;
what need we have of a $lO4.13 lobby
the use to which the money was put;
and the benefits, if any, which we may
expect to derive from the OUTLAY.
Public information upon this subject
seems to be limited, and several citizens
have expressed a desire for an explana
tion concerning such lavish and un
warrantable expenditure of the people,!
! money. SEVERAL CITIZENS.

Storming the "Castle. >,

In these days it is seldom indeed that
a good, old-fashioned, genuine sur
prise party can be successfully gotten
up; but a COURIER representative at

success-a genuine surprise-without a
doubt. The victims were our esteemed

fifth anniversary of their marriage and
the 27th birthday of the lady. AT few
minutes past O'Clock a great commo-
tion was heard in the hall way of their
mansion, and before Mr.. w. could Sc
cure his shot gun and get to the door,
about twenty citizens. armed with bun
dies and baskets, burst into the apart
ment occupied by tile lady and gentle
man and demanded possession of the
house. There was was little scream
by the lady; an eXclamation!-b the
gentleman. Then, like flash, the cause
for the ''lntrusion" dawned upon them.
Congratulations were rendered, and re-
ceived. Possession to the house was
given. The keys to the larder handed
over An elegant spread was served,
and IN all a very enjoyable time had. AT
II O'Clock the company bid adieu to the
happy couple, all wishing them many
such surprises.
The following ladies and gentlemen
constituted the storming party: Mrs.

A Serious Injury.

Moses Hall, q colored man engaged
on the farm of Mr.. Richard G.. CLANCY
in Annapolis Neck, met with pain
ful if not serious injury yesterday
evening between five and six O'Clock
while hauling fence rails. It appears
that Hall was driving the cart Ga dou-
bic team) at the time, and while de-
scending hill one of the horses sud-
denly shied off to the side, causing the
cart with its heavy load of timber, to
turn over-throwing the driver at the
same time under the load, and crush
ing the right leg above the ankle. A
portion of the load also fell upon Mr..
CLANCY, somewhat injuring him and
rendering his assistance to the driver
of very slow process, and in conse-
quence OF which it was nearly an hour
and a-half before Hall, was extricated
from his perilous condition. Mr.. Cha
ney managed with difficulty to bring
assistance from a colored family near
by, who went for other help, and the
colored man was removed to the farm
house a distance of about mile and
a-half, and DR.. Frank Thompson of
this city was summoned to set the
broken limb. nr. Thompson found
upon examination, that the bone was
crushed in such manner, as to render
amputation of the limb below the knee
necessary, and, with the assistance Of
Drs. w. G. Claude and Tuck, will

LOCAL FACToRIEs.-We see it
stated in several of our exchanges,
that the large manufacturers in the
north and east are casting about for
better locations for their plant. They
want more genial climate, cheaper
lands, cheaper labor, lower taxes, and
satisfactory railroad and steamboat
facilities. Recently quite number
of factories have removed to the east.
ernshore of this State, and more are
expected. Our proximity to Balti-
more, and our extraordinary shipping
advantages, together with our pleas
ant and healthful climate and cheap
lands, ought and would no doubt at.
tract attention if our people would
bestir themselves and make these ad-
vantages known through the public
press and by pamphlets with descrip,
tive maps and so forth and largely cir
culated in manufacturing districts in
Pennsylvania, New York and the
Eastern States. The cost of doing
this would not be large and the City
Council IN conjunction with our
Board of County Commissioners
ought to take steps in this direction
before other points in the State secure
to themselves the advantages which
would result to Their localities by the
removal OF factories large and small
to their neighborhoods.
Our Local Improvement Associa-
ton have, by their energy, already
awakened more lively interest
among our people than has been
known in the past two hundred years
of our existence as a city. This as
sociation is in its infancy, but its mas
ter-spirits are alive to the Importance
of local industries as well as local i'm
provements, and if our City Fathers,
and County Commissioners would act
towards them in q liberal and enlighten
ed spirit, they could, with such aid
and backing, accomplish much that
would place Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county on the highroad to
prosperity.
We hope our Local Improvement
Association will look into this matter
and if possible induce the city and
county to aid them in carrying out
measures that will result advantage
ousIy to all concerned,

The Best and Safest Route

For the benefit of the thousands
of people who will be drawn from
points along its lines, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will sell excursion
tickets to Washington from all sta
tions on its system at greatly reduced
rates. Its facilities for transporting
passengers will, be increased by the
addition of special trains, which, with
those regularly in service, will prove
sufficient for all the demands of travel.
The Baltimore and Potomac Station,

of the Pennsylvania system run, is
situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, in

TO any portion of the city by horse
