Found in Gwynn's Fals.-On the 9th Of
last November, Col. John P. Sloan, who resided
ON Harlem avenue, Baltimore, mysteriousy dis
appeared from his home, and although the most
diligent search was made in every direction, not
the slightest clue that would indicate his where-
abouts could be discovered, and his family had
about abandoned all hope of finding him. On
Tuesday afternoon last Mr.. Younger, of the I'd
district, found the body of a man in Gwynn's
falls, short distance below Powhatan, which was
afterwards identified as that of the lost man.
The body was very much decomposed and had
evidently been in the water for considerable
time. Col. Sloan had been in delicate health for
some time and his mind was disordered. He was
q Virginian and served in the Confederate army
during the late war.

ing, in the lecture room of the church, was we'll
attended, about two hundred persons being pres
ent, besides the members of the school. The pro-
gramme consisted of choruses, solos, Duets, read
ings, Rotations, dialogues, etc., and those who
took part certainly deserve credit for the manner
in which they acquitted themselves In addition
to the large number of baskets of confectionery
and oranges given to tho children, MID. Fray
hart secretary and treasurer, was presented by
the school with beautifully carved gold pen and
pencil combined. Several of the teachers were
also made the recipients of presents by the schol-
ars of their respective classes. Santa Claus was
on hand and gave some sound advice to the chill
dren, as we'll as to the older folks. This school
numbers 175 members and is we'll conducted by
an earnest corps of officers and teachers. During
the past year seventeen of the scholars professed
conversion and united themselves with the church.
Rev. Watson Case is the earnest pastor of the
church and is always foremost in good works.

Those New Year Bills
See the New Year with its bills,
Merry bills.
What deep, expectant anguish now each manly
bosom thrills
How they flake like downward showers by the

And defy our great endeavors to escape their

Who can't get up in the steeple,
But are wholly unprotected in their Offices all
day,

Yes, We are Sorry Too.--The Hartford
Democrat of last week says: "While we rejoice
with our brothers of The UNION across the Gun
powder, over the possession of their Christmas
turkey, we regret that there not forthcoming
turkeys enough in Baltimore county to supply
them Out Of pure sympathy, surely, Captain
Butler sent him the choicest bird in his flock
rvu brothers. the diA,erAnee -het~ean
Baltimore and Hartford county subscribers. The
latter will not allow the editorial stomach to suffer
on Christmas Day, even if they pass the home
fraternity to find Judgment in Baltimore county.
Capt. Butler, we believe would not object if some
Baltimore countian returns the compliment-we
will not, we are sure.'
If our brother of the Democrat has a subscriber
in Baltimore county who has as big heart in
him as Capt. Butler has, we have faith enough to
believe that next Christmas he will receive turkey
from this side of the Gunpowder. We don't like
our good old county to be cleft" in matter Of
this kind.

the success of this discovery and its thorough
practical working took me by surprise. never

this. From the time entered the car in Hamp

reluctantly, with all the wonder on my mind how

a recently completed railroad in this vicinity, that
is supposed to be run by the usual motive power.
If science and evolution don't stop right here, the
day is not far distant when electricity will become
our motive power, as it has now become our light.
In some places natural gas has taken the place Of
coal gas as electricity is taking the place of steam.

A gentleman just in from Rawhide
Buttes says that settlers are ~crowding by
scores into that section. Every day brings
wagons loaded with household effects and
and children. Everywhere can be
seen the white tent soon to be replaced by
the substantial ranch house. The latest
corners, nothing daunted by the prior
taking of the best claims, settle anywhere,
some of them locating on the very sum
mits of the ridges. The mines of the
section are receiving apparently a great
deal of Eastern attention, quite a num-

parties who have secured the contract on

A raging conflagration is reported in the
mountains west of Bristol station, on the
now abandoned portion of the Colorado
Central railroad. Heavy masses of smoke,
shot with flames, were yesterday rolling to
the southwark, and the car windows Of
trains on the Julesburg branch, thirty or
forty miles from the fire, were dimmed
so hat objects could scarcely be seen
through them. The greatest smoke mass
seemed to be directly west Of Bristol,
which would throw it in the Livermore
neighborhood. This section is heavily
timbered and well settled.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
Aatulency, uneasiness Of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like p%erspira.ion, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm. is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application of DIR. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per-

WHAT Is THE SENATE DOING.


Senator VOORHEES, speech sparkled with
striking passages. Here is one that seems
almost tragiesl, bat it is so full of truth that
it is worth reading over again and again
THE msjority Of the Senate hsd turned
aside from shA lAs;s;-.~Gs busiusss OF Iegls
lation. Labor sll over the country was
ovsrtsxed and scantly paid BY reason Of
long standing and vicious legislation.
Human suffering was Wringing its hands
and weeping in many parts of the country
in dsstitution for want of employment aad
proper remuneration. Great corporations
were oysrshadowing the Land aud absorb
ing the powers Of State and Nation, and
grinding the flesh and blood Of men andwo-
men into their massive hoppers. American
commerce no longer had q ship on the
seas. Great questions of taxation and
finance were pressing for attention. But
from al these great and pressing subjects
we must turn aside to discuss this question
raised by the Senator from
Vermont, (Mr EDNUSDS) It
was thrust into our councils TO obstruct
the business Of the country in favor Of a
lot Of Republican oficeholderS"
At no period In our nations history have
there been more vital questions demand

been more useless quibblng. Senator

THE p, W. q KY. RAILROAD.

TIE report of President HUBBARD, Of the
P, W. & Ky. Railroad, for the year 1885,
presents come interesting figures to TIE
people Of this county, The report shows
that the gross earnings Of the road were
Sl28,02434, operating expenses, $685.
1873 &c, and the hire of equipment, Sl2.
1871, making e total expense Of 800,
89O63, leaving as net earnings for tn:
year s27, 1871.
The earnings Of the year 1885, compared
with those Of 1884, show that the increase
in freight was Sll,O7O35; in miscellsns
ous, 5000 81. The decrease in passenger
receipts was Sl3,SS5.64; in express, 1915.
26; in msils, Si68 o.; in rents, $2l85
The total decrease Of the earnings OF 1885
compared With those CT 1884, wss s., 27O
SO, or la per cent.
In 1885 the number of tons of freight
carried was 292,24l, the revenue from
which vas S67,245.69. The number Of
passengers carried was l06, OS6. the reve-
rue from which was SIS, 1882. This is
an increase of 90. los tons over that car
ried in 1884. There was q decrease Of
39,O02 in the number of passengers car
ried-26 so per cent.
When interest on bonds and ell other
expenses and charges and expenses are
deducted the sum remaining in the'hsnds
OF the treasurer is s633 II. Under an ar
rsngemsnt made with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company So, 1919. IS was expand-
ed for "betterments."
This is a very good showing considering
the strikes and the general business depres-
sion during the year. But these alone do
not account for the decrease of tae pass
sngsr traffic. Competition on the Pitts,
burg branch OF the B. & o. has no doubt
had much to do with it. The B. L o has
been making improvements in order TO at
tract the public and has succeeded to q
great extent. But, nevertheless, from the
report of the President, the prospects CT
the P, W. & Ky, for the present year are
flatteripg.
