The Elkridge Hunt-Getting Ready for
Sport.-The American says: with the first of
october the fall hunting season of the Elkridge
hennel Club begins, and on each pleasant after
noon now the quarters of the club in the county
Is the scene of an enthusiastic gathering of the
members, who discuss the coming SPORT exercise
their hunters on the practice course within the en-
closure, and take the various jumps with the keen
ardor for which they are celebrated. In an ici-
patton of the resumption of the chase, Martin j.
U Brian, the merry keeper of the hounds, has for
the past three months been getting together ma
terial for the club, and eight active and cunning
red foxes are corraled in pen, with one old rev.
nard, who has been the property of the club for
eighteen months, and has been trained by the
keeper to make leaps that would do credit to
circus horse.
SIN the club stables there is fine stud of horses.
Among them are Warwick, an Irish bred imported
Gay, eight years old, and tremendous jumper,
belonging to Miss McTavish which is usually
ridden by the keeper and carries his heavy weight
with ease; Fauquier, six-year-old gray, and
Robert Dean, bay, eight years old, both fine
Jumpers, and the property of the club; the gray
gelding Bryan, nine years old, belonging to Mr..
Ross Whistler, and Gladys, five year old brown
mare, belonging to Mrs. Whistler, both of which
are being schooled by the keeper, as is also
brown mare, Lolita, five years old. belonging to
Mr.. p T. Chappell. Of the above those in train
Ing give promise OF great superiority as hunters,
and the others of mettle that will need little
encouragement by their riders to keep them well
up with the pack. At the tail end of the stud is
Killarney, the fve-years- old runner belonging to
Martin O'Bran, the keeper. He is sorrel geld
ing, half brother of Tonkaway, and was regard
ed of such little promise that his present owner
got him for SIS. He was formerly owned by DR..
Thorn, and under O'Brian's training developed as
runner and steepechaser to such an extent that
he came out of the only two races in which he
ever appeared, an easy winner beating both Tonk-
away and Baronet, as well as others.
"The Kennels in splendid shape and condi-
ton, and thirty eight old hounds, the majority OF
them imported, with ten pups, are killing time
baying and eating until the time comes for them
to go to the meet. The pups are fine large fell
lows. They have been in training all summer
and under year old. There is every con-
scnience in the kennels-adju benches,
cooking and feeding apparatus, clean, cemented
floors and other sanitary surroundings, which
make the canine hospital attached to the kennels

As an argument in favor of and as

suit to this city from the building of the
North and South railroad. we note the fact
that the firm of Lemle IL Simon of this
city received from st. Louis Otd Camden,
per Str. st. John, HOO sacks of corn, oats
and bran, etc. This freight was brought
through ola this route at minimum figure
in fact at a much lower price than could
have been obtained UiG any other route.
Now with through connection by direct
rail route to the West and running. in the
direction of the proposed North and South
ra lroad, there would be still greater COM
petition-hence further reduction in the
freight charges. The west would furnish
us with bacon, lard, meal and flour and il
return would draw on us for sugar, cotton
rice and other farm products, and in con
sequence there would be mutual benefit
derived.

4 DANGEROUS GLASS;.

The Socialists-a strange name for
bomb throwers-are an organization,
the fundamental principle of which is,
that all property ought to be held in
common. They claim that no man, or
set of men, have an inalienable right
to land, which belongs only to God.
They therefore believe in upsetting all
property, dividing it out and starting
anew.
They frst,had their. beginning in Eu-
rope, and during the time of Napoleon
the Great, they were so numerous and
troublesome in France, that he put
them down with the military. AS
Mayor Harrison said, the bloody occur
renee in Chicago, the deed of the So
cialists, was something unprecedented
in the United States. And we may
add to what the Mayor Of Chicago
said, there is no shadow of
an excuse for such an organi-
zation in this country. This
is a free country, and wages are
higher, compared to the prices of the
necessaries of life. than they eve were
before. The Socialists can eve be
tolerated in any State of the United
States, for their principles oppose the
very essence of American republican,
ism that government must be carried
on by the people, for the protection of
their lives and property.
1t is encouraging to see that the le-
gal authorities of Chicago have taken
hold of the dangerous organization
with great promptitude aid determine.
ton. Men, who hold to such revolt
tionary opinions, express them, and at.
tempt to enforce them, should be pun.
ished to the fullest extent of the law.

We may possibly make some changes,
but II is not 10 be feared that Il Will
make the Bin any less liberal in its
provisions. Our hafbof and the Green.
vile hafbOr are well provided for, and
there Is nc material change In the Bill
a. reporter by the committee. except
that 1t is provided that the money shall
be expended under the direction Of the
Secretary Of War instead Of the River
commission, and must be expended for
purposes specified in the bill. The
Secretary Of War is very fair and lib.
orally inclined and exceedingly popu.
lar with those who know him best,
and 1t is safe to say he will do the very
best he can for the sections which 1t is
intended to improve. The aims of
those who forced these changes in the
bill, were to abolish the River Com.
mission, and to prevent any money be-
ing for the present expended on the
construction of leVees.
Our people will have to accept the
Bill as the best that could be secured
now, and relax none of their deter
mination to secure in the future from
the Government, what the West and
South are Justly entitled toin the mat
ter-the thorough improvement and
complete control of the National River.
That this can BE- done is shown by the
strength Of the demand at present and
the question is growing stronger every
year.
In connection with the interests Of
the Valley we print Hon. T. G. Catch
irg's speech, which is regarded in
Washington as the ablest presentation
yet made of the sentiments of the
Lower Valley. He made some telling
points, and his constituency will be
greatly encouraged by the force with
which he presents them. Leading
papers in the Valley, both in this State
and Louisiana, refer to the speech with
earnest praise and quote from it freely.

Caved in the River.

AS Dorsey Foreman, a well known
colored planter of this county, was
driving a wagon, drawn by two mules,
from this city to his place heal New
town, Friday evening, and when about
40 yards above Newtown he struck a
p .ece Of the road which was overlooked
Tor a depth of about a foot. Knowing
the road well ne had no h~esitancy in
driving through the water, although it
Was on the outside Of the levee and on
the river bank. Suddenly the mule
nearest the river sunk down in the
water and commenced struggling to
get out. Foreman jumped out on the
land side and caught the other mule
and was trying to hold him away from
the brink, when bank caved in,
taking hin the mule and the
wagon into the river. He succeeded
in getting back into shallow water and
saved himself, but the mules and
wagon sank and were seen no more.
A colored boy, about fifteen years of
age, was in the wagon, and when it
went down became entaDgled in the
whip or lines and narrowly escaped
drowning, but finally succeeded in
swimming out about a hundred feet
below. Foreman says his loss is $3.50,
and he proposes bringing suit against
the county for this amount, saying the
board has frequently been asked to
change this road to a safe route.

fore that body, and the presence Of
