Death of an Aged Citizen.-Mr. Edward
N. Sweeny died at his residence, on Bellona ava
nue., near the head of Charles street avenue, On
Saturday last, in the S4th year of his age. He
was born in New York city in 1902, and pending
the difficulties which finally led to the war of
1872, his father, who was staunch royalist, eft
America with his family and resided in Cork, Ire
land, for several years. After his fathers death
in Cork, his mother returned to this country with
her children, and located in Baltimore in 1917.
Mr.. Sweeny became connected with the old Balti-
more Gas Company in 1885, remaining with it
something over thirty-fve years, during which
time he became widely known among business
men. For the past fifteen years he las not been
engaged in active business, and has resided on
his farm, enjoying remarkable health until recent

81 bushels to the acre, and which weighed 40 lbs.
to the bushel. The rakings were not threshed
This oats was seeded on the 9th of Hay and while
he was sowing it one of his neigh,ors told him
that he would not make his seed When Mr.
Corse bought this property it had tho reputation
of being too poor to grow anything, but he has
shown that by careful tilling and proler fertiiz-
ing it has in one season been made as productive
as the best land in the neighborhood. M. Corse's
neighbors gaze with much surprise upon the crops
he has been able to grow upon ground that was
hitherto regarded as "too poor for the buzsazds
to live on"

Tho Stewartstown Branch Railroad
The Shrewsbury correspondent of the York Ga
zette says: "The Stewartstown Railroad is near
ing completion. Mr.. Diller, the contractor, has
finished bis work. The grading having been fr-
ished, the track will soon be laid to its terminus.
On the 10th of September the celebration and
opening of the road will be held at Stewartstown.
1t will be great day for those people who have
been penned up SO long. We expect boom for
that section of the county for sometime to come.
l am sorry there is no switch facilities put in at
the turnpike, south of this place. 1t is important
that this be attended to if the company wishes to
do any business at this point. The distance from
my place to the station, which should be changed
from Turnpike to Shrewsbury, is little over half
mile, and from Centre Square three-quarters of
a mile. Centre Square is where all the business
is done, and the question of the patronage of this
place to the new road will be debatable for long
time between the main stem and the new road, so
that the new road is in this position-it must af-
ford better facilities than offered at Shrews-
bury station if the trade is to go to it, otherwise
1t is very likely to remain where it now is for
sometime to come. That there will be some COM
petition for this trade there is doubt whatever
the very moment an attempt is made to disturb
it. There will be considerable travel over the
new road as soon as the junction and station at
New Freedom are completed. The contemplated
connection of Shrewsbury and Railroad Boroughs
purpose. When the matter was up before the
old fogy idea that the road to Stewartstown
would never be completed prevailed and the con-
Meeting enterprise got left just about one year."
Correcting an Erroneous Statement
VIM. S. Keech, ESQ.,, of Towsontown, writes as
follows to the Baltimore Herald, date of Sep
TENDER I'd:
"Sir-In the issue of your paper of this date there
is an article headed "Knit Jackson's Last Socks"
in which reference is made to two pairs of socks
knit for that great military chieftain, Stonewall
Jackson, by two young ladies, then living near
Eicott City, Md. The article states that ''the
stockings were given into the custody of Mr.. R..
S. Keech, now well-known lawyer of Baltimore
county, who was engaged at that time in running
the blockade between Baltimore and Richmond"
&c. No lawyer named Keech except myself has
practiced law in Baltimore county since court
was first held here, in January, 1857. 1 was
here during the war; was not in the Confederate
service, nor was I ever blockade runner. A
gentleman named Caleb Smith Keech, who was
distant relative of mine, and whose sister is now
my wife, practiced law in Upper Marlborough,
Prince Georges county, Maryland, before and
after the He went South in the spring or
summer of 1861, and entered the Confederate SER
vice. He may have been the person referred to
in the article, though 1 never knew he was a
blockade runner, and never saw him in Maryland
while the war was going on. Mr. G. S. Keech
died in 1873. Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM S. KEEcH."

crafty their curiosity. LII is wen worth VISIT
to see this wonderful invention, nothing like it
was ever seen about Baltimore before.
Mr.. Wrenshall, receiver of the Maryland
Central road, informs US that the freight business
is so heavy just now that lie could find use for
fifty more cars if he had them. He has been
obliged to turn away freight because he had not
the cars to move it. The business of the road is
just now in the most fourishing condition, and
there is every prospect of its continuing so. The
company is much cramped for room at Boundary
avenue and arrangements are being made to put
in an additional side track.
An inquisitive dog, that had taken great
antipathy to the motors employed on the Hamp-
den electric railway, was run over the other day
by of one them and killed. number of boys took
up the body of the defunct canine and gave it decent
burial afterwards strewing the grave with flowers.
This dog was like good many men-he was
opposed to progressiveness and he stood in the
way of progress until run down and put out of
theway. There is salutary lesson in this, if look
ed at from the proper stand point.
The annual statement of the expenses of
Baltimore county, which is published in our is
sue of to- day, takes up great deal of our space
to the exclusion of our usual amount of interest
ing reading matter. The publication of this
statement will give our employees, who have
been very closely confined during the hot wealth
err short breathing spell, and we hope our read
usual interest for few weeks. We promise to
make up in the future for all deficiencies.
"A lady who has lived in Towsontown all
her life went to Druid Hill Park with the Sunday
School of Trinity P. E. Church, on Thursday of
last week. and for the first time rode upon steam
railway. She is now about sixty-fve years of
age. An old gentleman, who died here about two
years ago, at the age of eighty-fve, not only
never rode on a steam railroad but never even
saw a locomotive engine. When the Maryland
Central road first commenced running to Towson-
town he of course heard the whistle OF the en-
gines and the noise of the cars, but never had
curiosity enough to go and see them.
On Tuesday last Alice Rourk, aged thirteen

the charge of being incorrigible. Justice Dorsey,

undertook to take the girl away she fought like
tiger and screamed like locomotive, but he

Secretary Bayard Defines the Policy of the
United States.

Secretary Bayard Defines the Policy of the
United States.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March l7-Secre.
tary Bayard has written a letter to Senate:
Miller, Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, giving him all the
information possessed by the State Depart
rartment concerning Barrio, movements
The first inumation received by the De
partment in regard to the revolutionary
movement was telegram from Barrios to
the President, Announcing that he had as
sumed the title of Supreme Military Chief,
and that the minister Of foreign relations
at Guatemala would soon come to
Washington. Later dispatches were re-
ceived stating that the republics Of San
Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica
would resist Barrios, and requesting the in
reference of the United States Government.
A telegram from Hall, United States Minis
ter to Central America, reported that Hon
dmas was an active party to Barrios move
ment. The State Department sent dis
patch to Minister Hall, at Guatemala, in
structing him that this government, While
believing voluntary association OF inter
ests with the Central American States wa
desirable, would not connive at any
display of force by any one or more States
to coerce others, and that the United States
stend ready to exert their influence 10 avert
conflict, and promote peace.
The Mexican Minister here conferred with
Secretary Bayard as to the course taken by
Mexico and was informed that this govern
ment would use all moralinauence and lend
its good offices to prevent the destruction OF
atopomy :in Central American States and
to this end would be glad to have the CO.
operation of Mexico.
Later but unofficial details state that on
the 10th inst, Guatemalan eNpeditionary
! movement against San Salvador was stop,
ped and Barrios asked President Tsldivar
TO send two commissioners to arrange a
settlement. Secretary Bayard further
states that Senor Batres Minister from San
Salvador at this capitol, has been deprived
of his mission because of his association
with the movement of Bsrrios and new
minister is soon to be sent here.
The orders given naval vessels for pro.
lection Of American interests in Central
America are given in detail and the secre,
tary expresses the opinion that no obliga'
tiol to interfere rests upon this government
under any treaties with the States involved,
The department has no intimation that
any European power has interEered
or contemplates interference in the present
difficulties in Central America.
In conclusion, Mr.. Bayard says this Gov
ernment can not countensnce any measure!
subversive Of the free autonomy in any Of the
several States, and believing the moral in
hueuce and good offices ofthe United States
can be made potential agency in the pres
ervation Of peace.

MILLER's CONFIRMATION GOES OVER
One Oay---The Nomination Of Miller
Regarded as a Good One in
the Senate.
Observation-Disclosures NOTES.


WASHINGTON, d. G., March 1.-THE
nomination of Joseph S. Miller, to be Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, was not con-
hrmed by the Senate this afternoon, but
doubtless will be tomorrow. 1t seems that
when Mr.. Manning became Secretary of the
Treasury he was waited upon by the heads
OF the several bureaus. and verbally in
formed that their designations were at his
disposal. Among these was Mr.. Evans,
.he present Commissioner So when it be-
came time to make a change in the head
of the Internal Revenue Bureau, the
secretary directed that in the nomination of
Mr.. Miller it be inserted Vice Evans, re-
signed When the nomination of Miller
was made public at the capitol yesterday,
Mr.. Evans was apprised of its reception as
above stated. This morning he raised the
point through Republican senator, that he
had not written any formal resignation,
nor was it his intention to do so. Secre-
tary Manning was advised of the state of
affairs, and after consulting Mr.. Evans, who
adhered to the position indicated the secre-
tary told the commissioner that if he insist
ed on it he would have the nomination with
drawn and the word removed inserted in
place of resigned" Mr. Evans
intimated that such would Oe his pre-
ference. Consequently Secretary Manning
through the President, Withdrew tue nomi-
nation and the alteration was made, aud re-
turned to the Senate, thus technically
making new nomination, and under the
rules Of the Senate on receiving one objec-
ton, it necessarily went over one day. In
the debate in executive session to-day it
was developed that the nomination Of Mil
Ter was regarded as a good one, and the
leading Republicans expressed themselves
as being satisfied with it. They recognized
the right of the President to make such
changes in the heads Of bureaus as he de-
sires, and intimated that there would be
no opposition made to such appointments.
