THE New York Star makes some
forcible comments on the war the
Pennsylvania railroad is making
against the b. & O. It says the
move just made by the Pennsylvania
road against the Baltimore and Ohio
by closing the Delaware and Raritan
canal to the latter's traffic may be a
very smart move indeed People
will remember, however, that all this
smartness has for its object the throt-
Ting of competition and the perpetual
ticn 10 the hands Of the Pennsylvania
company of that vast monopoly which
it has enjoyed SO long. A stroke of
genius that The community Of New
York would admire would be one on
the part of the Baltimore and Ohio.

IT is stated ia Washington, that
one of the last things the President
did before leaving for bis summer
vacation in the Adirondacks was to
send Mr.. Stockslager, he assistant
Commissioners of the land Office, word
that ne must resign his place in the
civil service If be continued his con-
test for election to Congress. Mr..
Stockslager has been thinking seri-
ously over the matter, and has de-
termined to hold on to his present
place. lie feared that the opposing
faction in bis district would defeat
him at the polls If he resigned and
entered the canvass, aud that be
would thereby be left out In the cold.
1t is, therefore, now definitely settled
that Mr. Stockslager is out of the

Howard. Mr.. Stockslager's with

glittering combination ofits mercenary
forces, but IN the number Of true
hearted men VITO serve their country

Commenting on the ab5se, the
New York Sun says, that this is all
true enough, and nobody will dispute
it; but, il Mr.. BaYard would lead us
from this high doctrine to conclude
that only political Transcendenfalists
should be tolerated in public affairs,
that parties should be limited to men
as wise rs Plato and as disioterested
as Socrates, and that competitive
literary examinations and nonpartisan
appointments to { flee should be the
only rule under . republican govern

The other day bore took a chair
beside friend and pulled out a
map of celebrated engagement.
With sigh the friend, who, by the
way, shutters most disastroasly, pre-
pared to be bored for an hour. Said
the veteran: ''Oh, this was famous
battle, and how well remember
the day and recall the scene. How
plainly this map recalls to my mind
the green fields and dusty roads.
Here where my finger points is
where the enemy tried to turn our
left flank. Here is where we charg-
ed, driving them back in disorder.
At this point our gallant major fell
penetrated by score of balls. And
here, beside this clump of trees, is

Among the exhibits at our fair
there was one which attracted a
great deal of interest, especially
among the fruit growers, but which
was at the time unintentionally
overlooked by the Capital reporters.
1t was an exhibit of apples and crab
apples grown by General Charles
Adams at Manitou Springs, Colora-
do, at the foot of Pixies Peak. The
fruit was brought here by Mr. E. II
Blake, who spent a part of the sum
mer at Manitou Springs, and who
visited General Adams beautiful
home in the mountains. The apples
grew on q tree five years old, which
measured two and three-fourIhs in
ches at six inches above the ground,
and had on it 2+6 full sized apples.
Our fruit men thought it most re-
markable thing that such perfect
fruit could be grown at Pixies Peak.
General Adams was formerly III
command of the United States
troops in Colorado, and it was he
that rescued the ,Meeker family from
the Ute Indians. 1t is probable
that the Meeker family would never
have been given up had not General
Adams, who was on good terms with
the Indians, because he always kept
his word, entered Chief Ouray's

A Small Fire-Narrow Escape.

AT $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
wagon shon, owned and occupied by Geo,
Fl. Savage was discovered to be on fire.
Savage got a stream Of water on the fire,
from his force-pump, and was doing good
work before the crowd Of men, armed with
buckets, arrived. The Hook & Ladder Co.
got there in short order and soon had their
ladders in position and a string of men
busily engaged in passing those six red
buckets--and numerous other buckets not
the property of the Fire Department. But,
that pump and hose saved the building, as
by means Of the little apparatus water was
thrown In places that could not be reached
by water thrown from buckets. The dam.
age to building and tools was not great. and
is covered by insurance.
