The following appeared 10 the
Presbyterian Observer of this week /:
"A meeting for the organization Of
the Anne Arundel County Histori-
cal Society was held month ago.
A second meeting was held on the
25ih inst, when new names were ad-
ded to tho roll, steps taken to bring
the purposes of the society to the at
tention of the public, committees APP
pointed to obtain information as to
material Of historical value in the
hands Of private individuals. &c, &c.
10 q communication from New York
city, question concerning the spell
ing Of the word Arundel came up -
1t was contended by the correspon-
dent that the correct spelling is with
two l's, and that the Legislature,
now in session should correct the bad
spelling of the county and State
which has existed for more than
two huIdred years. by some special
act. But we End something worse
than the omission of an ], for in some
Of the records The e in Anne Is omit
ted and the two names spelled as one
word--ADnarundel; sometimes IL
is spelled An Arundel, and Ann Ar
rundell. Even these are better than
the Annarandel of the hucksters Of
Baltimore, when in early spring they
have the products of the county to
sell.
"This suggested the liberty that was
taken with names. rs for instance the
name Monroe. A man of that name
was called Roe, Row, Munro. Nun
roe, Munrow, &c. Pollock was alb
breviatcd to Polk, &c. A committee
was appointed to make investigation.
aud report at subsequent meeting.
So you perceive that one of the earl
lest duties Of the society is to look
after correct spelling. As it was
thought that valuable papers of the
Tuesday club. aud the South River
club, and other organizations of the
olden time, were 10 the hands Of
private parties, committee was APP
pointed to make inquiry about their
Importance and the probability of Sc
curing them. The society is COM
posed Of number of persons who
have already found material of his
torical value, and who have fond
ness for the kind OF research that will
throw light upon tlOe political and &C.

The yaneouver calamity


Victoria, b. g. June 15-The city of
Vancouver, situated at the Pacific end
of the Canadian Pacific railway, is in
ashes. Not half o dozen houses remain
cut of 500, and worst of all, there is q
large loss of life. Ten bodies have thus
far been recovered, and a number OF
persons are missing and are supposedsto
have persisted. One short hour did the
whole work. The property saved is in
significant, consisting only of two plan
ing mills. The loss is estimated at
$l,0O0,000, with only $4,000 insurance.
A Thousand men aye at work cleaning
mp the debris for the railroad company.
Twenty contracts for rebuilding have
already been let, Many men lost their
ali, but are determined to start in again,
The property loss falls directly on the
pioneer element OF the new CITY. Hun
dreds of people are camped out. There
are meager facilities for the relief of the
sufferers, but the people of New West
minister are especially open handed in
their efforts to relieve the distress.
Prompt aid from the Canadian Pacific
railway is expected. Few OF the people
have more than the clothes they stand
in, Of the ten bodies recovered, only.
three have been identified. Most of the
burned frame buildings will be replaced
with brick structures, Contracts for q
large hotel and other extensive build
ings representing $500 900 were let Just
before the fire,

reported to be well armed, one having q
ten FOUNDER gun on board. while all
have q large supply of rifles and ammu-
milton. In each of the schooners were
nine men moro than the ordinary crew
and each man knew perfectly well that
ne not only went out to fish, but to
fight if occasion required it. Most Of
them are from Maine and Massachusetts,
although a fair,percentage were said to
be New York fishermen. Tie Yssre!s
will proceed straight TO New London,
Conn, by way of the sound. There
they will remain until a few more men,
provisions, water and additional guns
can be procured, when they gill pro-
coed to Gloucester, Mass, and In COM
pany with the Herrick, proceed SO fish
for hallibut. All bait they require will
be purchased at Gloucester, and no at
tempt will be made to enter any Cana
da port for any article, no matter how
necessary. Just prior to the sailing of
the fleet, Captain Dawes OF the Temple
said: "We are going to fish and not fight,
but if We are not allowed, to do the other
in true Yankee style. We are not meek
~downeasters by a iugfuil, and when
Canadians attempt to fool around they
will find it out" A similar statement
was made by Captains Weeks and For
rect of the other s%chooners. Very few
persons knew they had sailed for the
scene of the trouble, armed to the teeth,
until they were clear Of the docks.

Crime.

New York Juns l6-Physcians say il
young Thompson improves es iast dur
ing the next forty-eight hours as he has
during the past twenty-four he will be
out of danger. From interviews with
schoolmates and friends of the young
man. and some intimate acquaintanses
of his wife among tho shop-girls in the
store where she worked, the theory is
advanced that Thompson was impelled
to his dreadful crime by dependency.
1t appears that when he married the
girl he expected remittancos from home;
that these stopped; that his money Was
all gomez that his board bill OF
$l5 was duo to-day, and that he had not
told his bride of the financial straits in
which he was. Mrs. Pratt, who dined

very low spirited, and both she and his

avail, The belief is expressed that
Thompson began 70 brood oyer his
troubles, and rather than meet an angry
father, break his penniless condition to
his young wife and be turned to disgrace,
he concluded to end her existence and

A STATESMAN "a LETTER FROM THE
PRESIDENT.
Concord, N. f., June 1.-THE statue
OF Daniel Webster, presented TO the
state by Benjamin Pierce Cheney, of
Boston, was dedicated to-day with i'm
posing civic and military ceremonies.
The statue has been erected in the state

Thos. Bell, who executed the model of
the statue at Florence, Italy, the casting

The following letter from President
Cleveland was read:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
june la-Hon. Moody Currier, Governor
OF New Hampshire-Dear Sir: | regret
that pressing official duties will not pre-
NIT me to be present at the exercises at
tending the unwilling OF the statue of
Daniel Webster at Concord on Thurs
day next. Every occasion which
does honor to this illustrious statesman
10 OF extraordinary interest to all
American citizens. Since our pride ia
his career and achievements is not in the
least limited by partisan influence or
any sentiment lesEs than national, it
would be well if in the capital OF every
state there stood q statue such as Com
cord boasts, which should not only
prompt the memory of the man,
but which should also keep
active through the coming centuries the
love and veneraticn of the American
people for true American greatness.
Yours very truly,
