BRADsTREETs continues confident in its
opinion that the revival of trade has
really begun, although the Improvement
is very gradual at first, as was naturally
to have been expected. This opinion is
fortified by the recent speech Of the
chief of the statistical department Of
The British board of trade 1t is most
sincerely to be hoped that the good
prophecy of these induces of business
will not fail. The west is always the
asst to feel the effects of Commercial de-
preston, and also the last to feel the
quickening influences of new business
activity. 1t does not necessarily follow
that because so little change Is noted in
this section that no change has begun;
but the movement need not wait on our
occOunt. A little more hurry would not
worry business 10 this state or in this
city.

The State Alliances, the knights Of

the country are in the IhrUes Of Il transi-

TO the utmost. The question of politics
or no politics is the divisional line, and
over this. and across it, and along both
sides of it, the question will rage until
the members OF these organizations
come to the conclusion that the politics
of this country can only be run through
the great political parties that have con-
trolled the country for the past thirty
years, and that it is not the part of in
dustriaI organizations TO do this pUliti-
cal work.

THE Sweeney railroad law In Iowa has
been declared constitutional by the su-
preme court OF the state, and hereafter
all railroad corporations doing business
in Iowa must domicile there. The rea-
son of this a t Of the legislature was to
prevent the companies from removing
their suits from the state courts when
ever litigation should arise. The case
will naturally go to the supreme court
Of the United States. Ms the railroad cor
pOratiOns will not rest short Of the high
est tribunal in attempting to secure a
decision adverse to the law. Iowa has
pioneered this fight against railway en-
crOachments upon state rights all the
way through, and in this contest has
done = needed work, pending the pass
sage Of general interstate commerce
law. When such a law as this is passed,
the necessity of the Sweeney law will
be less bviOus.

from producing trichiniosis and other fatal
affections of the human system.
Lard used in the manufacture of imitation
butter, which as rule is rancid and filthy
is not heated to such degree as to destroy
its clements dangerous to life, but only to
make it assimilale with the cottonseed oil,
stearine acid and other ingredients that make
up the fraudulent mixture In Chicago, it
was said, there were sixteen factories, pro-

all of which was palmed off upon the public
in all parts of the country as genuine butter
These pigsty dairymen were rapidly destroy
ing the butter producing interests of the
whole country, and the time had come to call
a halt. 1t was declared that three years more
OF bogus butter competition would wipe out
the dairy business of the country.
Every farmer is interested in prohibiting
the sale, as butter, of these vile compounds

We are indebted to Col. j. Thos. Scharf for
copy of the joint report of Hon. George W.

canned goods, and the beautiful green SER

1.-THE verd antique or green serpentine mar
BILE, contributed by the Green Serpeptine Mar
BILE Company through f. Mortimer Bye, Secreta-
~, of Wilmington, Del, from Hartford county,
attracted more attention by its rich green col
oring and beautiful markings than any other
stone at the Exposition"
"The Hartford Peach Bottom Slate Company
presented the finest collection of slate that was
on exhibition. 1t was displayed in all shapes
and thickness and attracted great attention for
Its superior quality"
The display of Maryland canned goods
was the largest at the Exposition, and in
cluded those of the Northern Hartford Pack
ing Association and Mr.. s. N. Hyde.
AT the close of the Exposition there was a
great demand for Maryland corn and wheat,
or the former some fine specimen ears were
sent by Mr. John Moores, of Hartford. One
OF the most attractive displays of leaf tobacco
was by Mr.. Frank B. Macatee, of the Rocks
of Deer Creek. 1t was pronounced the best

WAS 1T A WILD CAT?

On Thursday night of last week, about 10
o'clock, James H. Ely and John L. Fossett, two
young men living near Creswell, were badly
frightened by a strange and savage animal which
they encountered. while fox hunting in Rangers
Lodge woods. Without any warning the beast
sprang at them, swapping it's teeth vlciously and
flashing its tail. Being unarmed they took re-
fuge in trees. Mr.. Fossett CHANGED to climb
small sapling, which bent with its weight. and
fiercest manner, its eyes flashed like fire. 1t left
in few minutes aud the young men descended
to the ground in search of clubs. The animal
returned before they could find any weapon, but
they frightened it Off. They describe it at being
about ve feet long from its head to the tip of its
tail the head being round, the nose short and the
tail very long. 1t had white breast and its fur
was dark-colore and motted.
Several parties have been hunting for 1t but
have not seen it. II. o. Wallis and d. E. Ely,
while searching Tor the animal in the same neigh
borhood. heard cries from some animal which
were different from any they ever heard before.
The animal appeared to behalf a mile distant.

A VALUABLE ADJUNCT ON THE NARROW
GAUGE.-Messrs. Gilmor and Spencer, receivers
of the Maryland Central Railroad Company, are
about to introduce on the narrow gauge road an
apparatus for lifting the body of standard
gauge freight car from its track and deposting
it upon a truck to fit the narrow gauge thus
doing away with the necessity for breaking bulk
of freight in transferring it from other roads,
This will facilitate the shipping business of the
road, obviating both delay and extra labor 1t
will also do away with many of the inconve-
niences incident to narrew-gauge railroad
The broad-gauge cars can be carried to any sta
tion on the Maryland Central, loaded and then
transferred to any broad-gauge road with which
the narrow gauge can connect.

night Samuel Alternately, brother of Wash.
ington Alternately, of Woolsey's Shops died
suddenly, at the house Of his nephew, Pussy
Alternately, on Rev. Mr.. Brands farm, near
Emmorton. Mr.. Alternately was almost blind,
having had his eyesight injured in the great fire
at Chicago, and supported himself by the sale
of little articles. Saturday morning his nephew's
house caught fire, from over-heating ofthe wood
adjoining the stove-ppe. The fire was put out,
but the excitement, it is supposed, had a bad
effect on the old man. He ate a hearty supper
and went to bed, apparently well, but was taken
sick and died before physician could be pro.
cured. He was II years of age. Mr. Alternately
was buried on Tuesday, at st. Mary's Church.
Rev. Mr.. Brand read the funeral service. The
pallbearers were Jos. H. Everett, Basil Grafton,

seller, and the property is now, after period
of forty-three years, owned by the son of its

the Rocks, sold his last years crop, the product
Of ten acres, to John Mayer, of York, Pa, at
IL cents per Id. for wrappers and 2 cents pei
H. for filters. There was very little of the lat.
ter. The tobacco was of the Havana variety
and the yield was light, being only about 200
lbs. to the acre. Mr.. Macatee proposes to plant
12 acres this year, of he Glesner variety, which
he considers more profitable than Havana He
expects to SOW his seed as soon as the ground is
dry enough. He grows his plants under muslin.
Mr.. Macatee regards tobacco growing as more
profitable than canning. He has tried them
both.
Mr. Mayer also bought the crops of Messrs.
Benjamin Amos, Richard Beaver, John Martin,
Charles Martin, John Hey and Charles Finley,
in the same neighborhood.
