GOULD and THE KNIGHTS.
He WILL PAY NO ATTENTION TO
THEIR MANIFESTO.
What His Representative Says In lis
Behalf-HOxIe's Daily Report
to Headquarters.

NEw York, April THE following
telegram was received to-day at Mr..
Gould's office:
ct. LoUIs, Mo, April 7, 1886.
Two hundred and seventy-eight
freight trains moved yesterday, com
prising 1921 loads, an increase Of "a
trains and $50 loads over the same
day last year-the largest movement
OF loads any day since the strike be-
gan, and is fully equal to the business
before the labor troubles. Everything
quiet at all points. No truth in the
report that our engineers are dissatis-
fed and are likely to strike.
II. M. H0XIB.
WHAT dOULD's REPRESENTATIVES, SAYS.
With reference 10 the manifesto Of
the Knights Of Labor, published this
morning, Mr.. Gould's representative
said: "These people seem TO forget
that coal was made 25 per cent. cheap
er throughout the Southwest by Mr..
Gould when he opened the railroad
system there. The people through
that country are in favor Of the COM
pany, which shows that the state
ments made this morning are
absurd. The Knights, because
the Kansas City Journal de-
nounced the acts of the strikers,
demanded that the Union News Com
pany should not deliver any OF the
papers OF the journal. Mr.. Hoxiethen
notified the News Company that no
other papers should be carried if it
did not deliver the Journal rs usual.
The News Company therefore decided
TO pay no attention TO the order Of
the Knights. Mr.. Gould said that
the manifesto of the Knights would
not have much effect on the people,
especially the people Of the Southwest,
and he did not seem at all disturbed"

Long Green, 18th District. in this
vicinity has been very tedious. The farmers have
been repeatedly interfered with in their work on
account of the many rains. Much hay has been
damaged, and the delay has been so great that
the ripening of wheat, hay and oats ran into each
other and thus rendered it all the more back
ward.
The appointment of Mr.. Alfred Neal as post.
master at Lavender Hill, is very gratifying to
his many friends here.
A little son of Mr.. Edward Donovan, of Sweet
Air, fell through his fathers barn one day last
week, fracturing his arm and otherwise injuring
himself. DR.. John S. Green rendered the neces-
sary medical attention.
Mrs. A. Francis, who has been very i'll, is now
greatly improved, under the care of DR.. Green.
Services are now regularly held at Trinity p.
E. Church by Rev. Mr.. Warner, of St. James.
The congregation is quite large. The family of
Hon. Geo. Hawkins Williams attend here, as also
many persons spending the summer in the neigh
borhood. I.

Railroad Facilities for Shrewsbury.

Railroad Facilities for Shrewsbury
The Shrewsbury correspondent of the York Ga
zeHe says: "Col. Stewart has made several surveys
for the entrance of railroad into Shrewsbury
from the Stewartstown railroad. I am sorry to
state that the elevation of our town is high as
uauit VI pruosie.-i <s-t0 sc .atru into the
heart of the borough. Two routes were surveyed,
one to the west and the other to the east of the
town on Main street. The routes were run at a
grade of 113 feet to the mile. The west side route
would give us what we want, but the cost of con-
struction would be too great, owing to cut OF 30
feet through Pigeon hill. The next best thing for
us would be to come to the borough line on Balti-
more turnpike at the foot of the hill in the south
ern part of town. This switch of third of a mile
can be built for $4,000, and is all that the Stew
artstown railroad could have done for us in its
original construction, and our people would have
been satisfied at the time, but now it seems some
of our people hesitate about expanding even that
much for the facility that road to that point
would afford. A switch would give us all the
railroad facilities we will ever get for anything
like the amount of money it would cost 1t at
fords superior landing facilities for coal, &C., with
abundance of room for all kinds of warehouse and
shipping purposes. Much is said Of the patron
age to come from the north and west of Shrews-
bury but not word is said about what may come
to it from the south and southwest. I think our
people will make mistake if they don't put their
heads together and build the switch. Our town
demands some better railroad facilities, and this
is the cheapest and best we can get"

Inspection Of County Road.-A few
weeks ago THE UNION called attention to the un
safe condition of the Lime Kiln Bottom road lead
ing from Loeb Raven to Cromwel's Bridge, and
on Wednesday last County Commissioners Rit
tenhouse and Todd, accompanied by their chief
clerk, Mr.. John Crowther, Jr., made an inspection
of the same. 1t is thought the Board will recon.
mend the widening of the road at that point
which will be much cheaper than building a re
tanning wall along the bank of the Gunpowder
the estimated cost of which would be about 5000
They also found very dangerous place in the
road at the Burke farm, which will need immedi-
ate attention, and the wonder is it has not beer
reported to the Board by the Road Commissioner
This part of the road has been rendered danger
GUS by the sinking of an ore shaft some years ago
the excavation for that purpose being entirely toe
close to the bed of the road and the constan
washing away of the earth has rendered it at this
time unsafe for vehicles to pass. No doub
now that the Commissioners have made a per
sonal inspection, the defects complained of will b.
speedily remeded.

Singular Drowning Accident.-William
Finn, aged twenty-s six years, who lived with his
father in the frame cottage opposite the Catch
at Loeb Raven, met very sudden death shortly
before o'clock on Monday morning last. He
and his brother James were employed by Mr..
Foley, superintendent of the lake and were &C.
customed to cross the lake in small boats which
were kept at anchor short distance above the
breast of the dam. On Monday morning they
went down to cross to the west bank and William,
getting off first, was noticed by his brother well
out towards the middle of the lake. When James
was ready to move off he looked in the direction
his brother William had taken when he saw only
the empty boat. He at once gave the alarm and
the work of recovering the body was commenced.
In about an hour it was brought to the shore,
having been found by dragging the bottom of the
lake. Young Finn had been subject to attacks of
vertigo and it is supposed he was seized with one
of these, which caused him to fall from the boat.
Justice Miller, of Towsontown, was notified and
held an inquest, the jury rendering verdict of
accidental drowning Finn was the young man
who had difficulty with Nick Williams, colored,
of Towsontown, last Sunday a week at Loeb
Raven, during the progress of which Walter john
son, friend of Williamss, was cut in the neck by
some one whose identity has not yet been estab-
lished. Finn was arrested at the time and was
placed under 5000 bonds.

Something About the Weeds.-The gowth
of noxous weeds is just now a prominent nuisance
in this and every other town, and the necessary
time should be taken to destroy them. Frequent
ly the cutting down or pulling up of weeds will
suffice to clear them from streets, alleys and va
cant lots, although in the case of Canada thistles
mullen, and some other such plants, it is neces-
sary to resort to this process before the weeds
go to seed. A single weed of some varieties has
the power, from its enormous seed crop, of repro
ducing hundreds of its kind. Attention to this
matter would not only have salutary effect upon
the public health, but would also give an air of
cleanliness and wholesomeness. We are not aware
of and special law upon this subject but all should
see the Importance of attending to it promptly
This is the season for destroying weeds and every
citizen should that his premises kept clear

To Keep Hams IN Summer.-There are a
number of modes given to keep hams through the
warm season free from the attacks of insects.
Some bag them and whitewash the bags, which is
troublesome and somewhat expensive; some cover
them with dry wood ashes and pack them in bar
rels some pack them in barrels and cover thor
oughly with pine shavings; but we think the best
plan of ALL and certainly the least expensive with
all who have smoke house, and every farmer
should have good one, is to keep the hams hung
up in the smoke-house, which should be kept per-
fectly dark at all times. We have eaten hams so
kept two years old, and they were among the very
best we ever tasted. Uniform darkness is COM
