HOW WOMAN DETECTIVE BROUGHT LOCAL
QUARREL TO A CLIMAX.
A telegram to the New York Herald from
Plymouth, Mass, November Is, says: The
fight of the "dikers' and "antidikers' of Marsh
field is in court. In order 10 understand some
| thing as TO what the controversy between them
Is, it. is necessary to understand that the town
where Daniel ebster sought retirement and
change IN his busy life is famous for its marshes.
The prOprietors OF the land diked the marshes
d few years ago. building a big dam near the
sea front. The town paid portion of the eX-
penses for the sake of running road along the
top of the dam. No sooner was this done than
the inland waters, restricted by the narrow
gateway, ceased to keep the channel to the sea
open, and the fishermen could not get away ex-
cept at high water. Efforts we're made by those
interested in maintaining way to the sea to
have the dam removed, but without success.
Then enSued a series OF nocturnal explosions
When the dam had been shattered aud repaired
several times the selectmen sent 10 Boston and
secured the services of detectives.
SLY LITTLE WOMAN.
Mrs. Martha L. Elwell, a meek little woman
of Chelsea, came down to MaTshfieid to board
and became acquainted with Henry Tolman a
farmer-tisherman. She wound herself into
TOlmans confidence, she testified in court
to-day, by expressing admiration for men who
did crooked deeds. From this the talk drifted
to the blowing up of the dam. II told Tolman"
said she, THAT the man who did that job was
smart man and would like TO know him. He
laughed and said: Il am the man, aud Pm going
to do it again in two weeks He told me the
fishermen had raised So that day. making S35
in all, with which dynamite was to be pur-
chased" Having thus ''given himself away"
TOlman was arrested on August 16. Several
men testified to-day as to the quality of the
dynamite found upon him the night of his ar
rest. An agent OF the detective agency at BoS-
ton told about the circumstances of the arrest.
and how TOlman had made a hole in the side OF
the dam when captured. The defense will be
heard tomorrow. Owing to the division Of
opinion the matter in Plymouth county 1t is
doubtful if the jury agree.

assimilation Of food, lack Of attention
and wretched sanitation--in fact all dis
eases may be termed their sequei@. In
their modified form they may be termed flood
diseases" and while varied in pathology, are as
assume an aggravated form and, of course, de-
velop into infection or contagion. Often disease
seems contagious when in fact It is epidemic,
and the latter term we would define as the exist
ence of the same causes and conditions to pro-
duce like results For instance. there is an out
break in certain locality that apparently at
tacks all herds alike and the cause, traced to its
proper source will likely be found in q
streak of bad corn some other crop failure.
Again. it is along a stream, while the upland
herds are free from trouble and the cause, with
out doubt, lies in the contaminated water. Such
epidemics generally run in streaks, and their
causes are local; or they may spring from peri
odic conditions, witness the flare of disease
after the second clover crop, which no doubt
arises from the fact that the miasma settles with
the heavy dews and is thus taken into
the system by the bountiful morn
ing repast. The outbreak following
hogs on stubble would indicate a local or peri
odic cause and the same is true of the green
corn period. The disease which has spread over
the country during the past year may be regard
ed as contagious in great measure. 1t has been
of that virulent type which seems to spread con-
tagion in the very air, and if it follows the course
which has characterized such outbreaks in the
past, its violence this coming season will be much
tempered, upon the same principle that vaccina-
ton will mitigate the violence of smallpox.

Harmony in Prospect.

"There is good reason" says the Philadelphia
Press, for believing that the negotiations which
have been going on for settlement of the differ
ences between the Pennsylvania and the Balti-
moro & Ohio railroads have now fair prospect
of success. 1t may be said, on excellent author
ity, that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has made definite offer to the Baltimore q Ohio
within few days which it is hardly possible that
Mr.. Garrett can fail to accept. This situation is
only another step in the great plan of the syndi-
cate for the restoration of harmony between the
Eastern trunk line and coal-carrying companies,
and has been brought about by mutual friends
of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore e. Ohio
Whether it results in complete harmony or not,
the present relations between the companies have
a stronger tendency toward peace than at any
time since the death of the elder Garrett

Garrett Strikes a Snag.

The Baltimore & Ohio has of late met some
obstacles in carrying out its financial policy. 1t
controls the Pittsburg & Connelsville railroad,
and has placed mortgage upon the property to
guarantee 49, 00O,0 600 of bonds, the proceeds of
whose sales were to be used to construct
the line from Baltimore to Philadelphia Some
OF the stockholders of tie Pittsburg & Connells-
vile road object to this action, as opposed to
their interests, and have brought suit to pre-
vent the issuing of the bonds They claim that
the action of the Baltimore & Ohio wsn loading
their corporation with debt for which it had no
use, and at the annual meeting in January pro-
tested against it. The meeting dregarded the
protest and the bill in equity which has since
been filed declares that the Baltimore & Ohio
has diverted into its own treasury the revenue
from operating the Pittsburg & Connellsville
road, and that its claim that the Connellsville
owes it over 81, 600, 600 is untrue. The court is
therefore, asked to restrain the Baltimore &
Ohio from disposing of any of the bonds which
are deposited with the Union Trust Company, Of
New York: that all bonds already sold be de-
clared null and void; that the mortgage be
annulled, and that the bonds be Cancelled

Rates Firm at Chicago.

In commenting on the handsome increase in
east-bound traffic over Chicago roads last week,
the Chicago Times says:
IA feature of the week has been the extreme
falling off in the grain tonnage to Baltimore
the shipments to that point having been in
significant in volume. 1t is stated that this is
not only true Of the Chicago shipments, but the
same state of facts obtains upon all of the roads
south, the current having been diverted away
from Baltimore and setting toward New York
Various reasons have been put forward to ac-
count for the change. 1t is said that corn has
not graded at the former city as satisfactorily as
was expected and the inspections had been more
rigid than was anticipated. The export demand
had also ceased and that batch of 100 tramp
steamers that Garrett was charged with having
secured to load with grain for foreign shores has
not materialized Then the corn corner in New
York still on, and expected to run over into
March, had set the tide running that way
Rate-cutting rumors were quite as prevalent as
ever, with some variations az to the delin-
guents. An outside lne-the Hoosac Tun-
nei-came in for its share of suspicion, based on
the fact that the largest grain shipping firm in
the West had suddenly transferred its patron
age to that line move that it is claimed it
would not have made unless proper or i'm
proper inducements had been held out All is
superstition however, without a particle of pos
tive proof"
