The establishment OF Union stock
yards in this city Is necessity, and
long has been. AS our railroad facilities
multiply this necessity grows more APP
parent, and the interest that has recent
ly been developed in this matter bids
fair to result in something tangible In
the immediate future. These yards
would concentrate stock interests at
this point and compel this city to be &C.
cepted as the center of the stock trade
OF Southwest and Western Texas. The
yards would greatly benefit the city as
we'll as the stOckmen, and the move
ment for their establishment should be
mutual. These yards would be great
convenience to the whole country lying
between this point and the gulf, as well
as that to the west, and II the enterprise
can be inaugurated so as TO concentrate
all the stock interests Of the city and the
ranches Of West and South Texas at
some point where all the railroads cen
tering here could reach them by spur
tracks, a great advance in the stock
business of this city would naturally
and very speedily result. The stockmen
generally favor the erection OF these
yards, but want bonded system among
the commission men, so as to insure the
interests of the seller and buyer and so
protect the market and keep the trans
actions clean. 1t will shut out great
deal OF illegitimate and hang-dog busi-
ness, which initiates against the trade
of this city; close up the yards and pens
in residence portions Of the city; estab-
lIsh regular exchange on square bust
ness basis, and prove in every way bene-
fetal to the cattle interests Of Western
Texas. The necessity and advantage OF
the movement being so generally con-
coded, the matter should be put into a
practical shape at once. There would
be no difficulty in securing location
with sufficient grounds, centrally stu
sted as to the railroads, and where good
water could easily be obtained, and
there is no better time than the present
In which to reach this result. With the
establishment of union stock yards our
refrigerating enterprise would take on
new life, and with these and the organi-
cation of an agricultural fair and live
stock association the stock interests OF
tie city would be reasonably secure.
These three enterprises very naturally
dOvetail together, and the agitation OF
all of them is perfectly IN order at the
same time.

About / o'clock on Friday night of last
week the dwelling of Mr.. Amos Bowman,
about mile north of Silver Run, was burned
to the ground The fire was first discovered
by some of the family of Josiah Lawyer, who
reside few hundred yards distant The
house was unoccupied, Mr.. Bowman residing
on what was formerly his fathers property,
about 300 or 400 yards distant. He was
promptly aroused, but, as the fire had gained
so much Roadway, it was soon apparent that
all efforts to save the building would be fruit
less. Mr.. B. intended to move into the house
this spring, and was making some necessary
repairs, for which purpose he had fire IN the
house during the day, and from which, It is
supposed, the house took fire at night. The
building was insured in the Mutual Fire In
surance Company of Dug Hill, but for what
amount we have not learned.
Mr.. Granville Myers, son of Mrs. Margaret
Myers, of this place, returned home last week.
Mr.. Myers had been engaged with his brother

face. Mr. NJ. has so far recovered as to have
been able to return to his work on Tuesday

Aubrey DELEMAM.

An individual calling himself Aubrey Dele
main, came here last Sunday. On Monday
he made arrangement with Mr.. Reese, lessee
of the skating rink, to give two intertain-
nents, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Bills were printed, announcing that 1.-THE
celebrated, far-famed and world renowned
prestidigitatorial illusionist, ventriloqulst,
mimic vocalist and elocutionist, will appear
in over 100 wonderful, surprising and bewild-
ering experimental illustrations. of human
electricity" On Tuesday evening he APP
peared, but his performance was very ordlna-
nv, and his mind-reading a real sham and
fraud. He seemed to be out of funds, and
tried to borrow money from Mr.. Reese. He
had to pay bill of $110, he said, and wanted
sis to make up the amount. To show his
financial standing, he exhibited paper, pur-
porting to have been written by a bank cash
Ter at Wilmington, Delaware, showing that
he had $4,000 to his credit Mr.. Reese con-
cluded that man who had that amount lying
idle in bank ought not to owe any bills. This
was on Tuesday afternoon. Had he gotten
the money he would probably left the town,
and left Mr. Reese the bills to pay, as the
latter was to share the expense and get part
of the proceeds
At the performance that night he promised
to have his wife present on Wednesday night,
and she was to perform wonderful things. On
Wednesday Delemain went to New Windsor
in a carriage with drummer named Pond,
from Baltimore, from whom he tried to get
money. He did not return here, neither did
his wonderful wife. On Thursday morning
it was learned that he was walking up the
track of the Western Maryland Railroad, and
it was said '.the walking was good. Mr..
Reese did not lose anything, but the City
Hotel has a board bill unpaid by Delemaln.

nyArH OF MRS. EDWARD D. WELLS,

Last week the ADVOCATE announced that a
telegram had been received by Mr.. T. I'll.
Orendorif. of this city, on the Tuesday pre-
vious, from DR.. Edward d. Wells, who is now
residing in Florida, that his wife WAS ex-
tremely i'll. On Monday last the same gem
tleman received letter from DR.. Wells stat
ing that his wife died on Thursday, March
llth. after an illness of several days from
dysentery. DR.. Wells moved to Florida on
the 3rd of February, the trip being com
menced in the terrible snow storm OF that
day. At Richmond they were delayed some
time owing to the storm. Their household
goods were forwarded some days previous,
but had not reached their destination at the
time of the arrival of the family. Shortly
after, however, they were comfortably settled
in their new home. The Doctor opened his
drug store and began the practice of his pro-
seemed bright; but his happiness was of short
duration. Disease entered his household and
carried off the partner of his life, leaving six
children, ranging in age from eight years to
four months.
Mrs. Wells was the daughter of the late DIR.
VIM. A. and Adelaide Swope Matthias. Her
father was q son of the late Major Matthias, OF
this city, and her mother was daughter OF
the late DR.. John Swope, of Taneytown. She

John S. Matthias, Col. John b. Boyle, +.
H. 0rendorf and Hon. Charles b. Roberts.

drawn around her large circle of devoted
friends, and the husband has the sympathy Of
all in his bereavement.

Rr1Np TOM AT NEW WINDSOR

This musical prodigy gave concert at
Norris pavilion in this place on Saturday
last He is without doubt the musical
wonder of the world. His performance was
truly marvellous, and it was listened to by the
largest audience ever assembled here. Even
some of our sturdy farmers, whose knowledge
of music does not exceed the notes of the
dinner horn, could appreciate scientific music.
A further proof of this, was the perfect order
and silence which prevailed within, and out
side ofthe building during Toms performance.
Unfortunately this is not always the case at
concerts in country towns. Each round Of
applause being generally accompanied with
some disorder, such as loud whistling, stamp
ing and yells. This ought not to be the case.
The seating and assigning places to each of
the large audience was most admirably per-
formed by Mr. Norris, the proprietor of the
Pavilion, and would have done honor to an
usher at a great opera house in any metropo-
lis.
On Monday morning by request of the pro-
prietor of the hotel, Tom performed for about
two hours in his parlor, to the great delight
of all present. This was special favor
granted to Mr.. Dielman, he having once be-
longed to the profession.
In fact everything was perfect. The per
Torrance, the seating of the audience and last
but not least, the excellent department ofthe
people.

WEDDING AT rR1zzELLssuRe.


The home of DIR. and Mrs. ]. Rinehart was
on Thursday morning last, the scene of a
beautiful and interesting ceremony. 1t was
the occasion of the marriage of the Doctor
eldest daughter, Miss Anna, to Mr.. h. Wantz,
young merchant, Of this county. Rev. W..
S. Delp of Uniontown, was the officiating
minister, Mr.. II. L. Rinehart, the brother of
the bride, and Mr.. Edwin Snader, acting as
groomsmen. The service was impressive and
short After congratulating the happy couple
the guests were invited out to dinner, such a
feast as our generous hostess knows how to
provide.
The bride was becomingly attired in brown
Saline de Lyon; the groom in conventional
black, relieved by white satin tie and small
boutonniere. After dining the bride being
re-attired in navy-blue travelling dress, the
young pair took the train from Westminster
for an extended tour north, carrying with
them the best wishes Of their friends.
Only the immediate relatives and few in
innate friends were invited. The presents
received were numerous and costly.
