hanna river short mile further down
This whole region Of undulating
country being threaded with innumer-
able streams, fed by countless springs
of soft, cold water, affords one of the
best pasture regions to be found in
Maryland or adjoining States. The
winters of this latitude are not in
tensely cold or of very great duration,
while the stock is comparatively free
from the annoyance and worry of flies
during the summer season. In all our
peregrinations up and down the earth
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,
and from the base Of the Rocky
Mountains to the surf beaten shores
of the Atlantic, we have never, all
advantages and disadvantages consid-
cred, run across section of country
better adapted tor establishing herds
of fne stock; either horned cattle,
horses, sheep or swine. The region
is most healthy, heing one of breezy
hills, crystal springs of soft water,
and the most nutritious pastures.
MIR. Enoch Mccullough is one of the
few who, having seen the natural ad-
vantages offered for the founding of
herds of improved sock, has gathered
together and raised the following list
of Jersey cattle. which the whole
neighboring country, as we'll as its
owner should be proud of.

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1886-01-29

TIE question of moving the Library
to more convenient place, was dis
cussed at some length and upon mo-
ton it was decided to allow the matter
to rest with the curators. who were in
structed TO report at next meeting. also
the question of creating Il circulating
Library was brough before the meeting.
1t was argued on the one hand that
small revenue could be derived by
charging small fee for loan of book,
thus increase the fund and enlarge the
Library While on the other hand, it
was thought that the general wear and
tareo of DO nks, would more than counter
balance the profits to be thus derived.
AS there has been very lt:le interest
manifested lately, by the membrs of
this Association, as to the management,
payment of dues, and general condition
of the Library, and it has been mat
ter of no small interest with the few
active members who still remain and
feel an interest in the welfare Of the
Library. to know what plan to adopt
in order to bring about general reviv
al with those who remain in passive
state. 1t is to b. hoped at The next
meeting, of wDich due notice will be
given, that there will be good attend
ance of all who desire to see this in sti-
tuition brought to a prosperous and
tlourishing c. ndition.

formerly a wealthy board of trade specu,
lator, and the wife OF a young lawyer at
Knoxville, Ia. threw herself into the lake
at T%hirty-ninth street to-day. Her rich
apparel and beautiful face attracted the
attention of a group of boys, who saw her
Fastening toward the breakwater. They
saw her her Jump into the ice and drift
that was dashing against the pier. The
boys threw her a rope but she
refused 10 grasp it. The body
was rescued by a policeman, before
life was extinct, but efforts to resuscitate
the suicide were OF no avail. She had
visited the Office of DIR. Chamberlain half
an hour previous to her death, but he
was so busy and she so agitated that he
told her to come to the Office to morrow
and explain her case.
1t is stated by Mrs. Johnston's friends
that her intellect, previously brilliant. had
become more or less unbalanced since her
admission to the Iowa bar, about four
years ago. Over study is the cause as.
signed. Mrs. Johnston came to Chicago

Another Street Railroad War.

New York, Dec. 23.-Many thousand
BrooKlyuites who were accustomed to use
the horse cars Of the Brooklyn City Rail
road company are compelled tO day to
walk. The company controls eleven lines
OF street cars. all of which were tied up to-
day, the men claiming that the company
had failed to carry out the agreement made
with the men last March in regard to the
hours OF work.
One of the causes of the trouble was he
fact that the company would not recog-
nlze Knights of Labor nor the Empire
Protective Association in its negotiations
with its men. About S O'Clock about a
dozen cars were started under protection
of the police. In East New York one OF
the cars was attacked by five strikers and
the police promptly arrested them, thus
preventing further trouble.
Brooklyn merchants say they will lose
thousands OF dollars by the strike coming
in the holiday week. |. became evident
at noon that there was likely to be serious
trouble on the lines of the Brooklyn City
Railroad company, and the police were
called upon to protect Il car which the
company desired to start out from the
depot at Greenwood. Capt. Doe and sew
eral officers ven to the scene and mount
ing the platform. the car was started. 1t
got only a block on its journey when the
mob took the horses from the car and
ran it back to the depot. The police were
unable to resist the men. A car at II Jersey
street and Tompkins venue was over
turned and the driver and conductor as
saulted by the mob. The police attempted
to interfere. but were overpowcred, and
the reserves were called upon to aid them.
A ear was hOiste1 from the track at Full
ton and New York avenue, and the police
called upon here also. The driver and
conductor, who were non-union men, were
assaulted. DISTINCTIONS were then placed
upon the tracks, and it looked as though
there would be even more serious trouble
if the company persisted in trying to run
their Gals
The strike of the employees of the
Brooklyn City roads ended tonight. The
company refuses to give any information
as to the terms of settlement, but it is
thought hat ii has accecdcd to the de
mands orthe men. The first car left the
Greenwood depot of the Court street line
at 500 p. III The men when questioned
claimed that the company had conceded
all demands. President Lewis refused to
enter into any terms of settlement In
future, he said. an %employe from each de
PARTNER; would constitute a committee
to present grievances il any, and they
would be listened to.
One Brooklyn firm claim their loss by
the strike will be $50, 900.

An Address to Congress.

DENVER, Dee. 23.-J. A. Cooper, pres.
ident of the Colorado Cattle Growers
Association, to-day addressed the follow
ing letter to members of congress:
II would respectfully represent, by
authority Of the executive committee OF
the Colorado Cattle Growers Association,
that the bill recently introduced by :Sena-
tor Warner Miller, of New York, provid-
ing for the establishment of a commission
authorized to deal with the question of

mands OF the cattle industry by protection;
but that the law creating a bureau of
animal industry should be amended, On
larging the powers of the bureau to the
end that the practical knowledge acquired
by its officers and agents in inves legations
made by them could be at once utilized for
the safety and protection of American
cattle; The provisions of the above men
toned bill, emitting the section creating
the commission, are not Objectionable, but
should be made by amendment a part of
the bureau of animal industry law.

End of the Great Aspen Mining
Sulf

DENVER, Dec. 23.-The most import
ant mining litigation ever tried IN Col
orado, concluded in the United States cir
cut court here to-day. Millions OF dol
lars devolved on the result of the trial,
and the precedent set which involves title
10 nearly 800 mining claims in the vicin-
ity OF Aspen. Pitkln county, Col. The
question at issue was whether the Aspen
mines contained fissure veins or deposits
OF ore. II the assure theory was correct,
then the owners of claims on the apex. or
where the outcropplngs are visible on the
surface. had the right, under the United
States statute, to follow the dip of the
vein into other claims; but il the deposit
theory was maintained, then a vast mum
Der of mines on the side of the Aspen
mountain could be operated by their OWN
ers as far as the boundaries of their claims.
The present suit was brought by ID. NJ.
Lyman, OF Cincinnati, against j. II.
Wheeler, of New York City, and other
capitalists. Lyman owns the Durant
u.inc. m apex claim, and Wheeler aud his
friends own the Emma mine, which lies
Immediately beneath the Durant on the
side Of Aspen mountain. The Durant Is
the older location, but rich ore was first
struck in the Emma One million eight
hundred thousand dollars worth OF ore had
been taken out oil the Emma when the
pa ant people brought suit to gain pos
session of the Emma on the apex theory,
and the courts onjoined the Emma from
further operations. The case has been ON
trial three weeks, the best known mining
experts in the West being about equally
divided on each side. To night the Jury
brought in verdict in favor of the Durant
nine.
The Aspen mine, the richest in the
camp, lies Immediately beneath the
Emma, and a suit is now pending to OBJ
tain possession of it by the Durant pco
Pile. Two million dollars has been taken
from the Aspen mine, and as much more
was in sight when work on it was en-.
joined. The other apex owners have
been awaiting the result of this trial, and
will now bring suit to recover possession
of those mining claims lying ON the
mountain side below them. This is the
first case involving the apex theory tried
in Colorado since the Leadville litigation
was begun in the early history of that
camp. and which was settled about three
months ago in the supreme court Of the
United States against the apex theory.
In the Leadville cases the hanging wall
was claimed to be periphery and the foot
wall limestone. In the Aspen case it is
claimed that the hanging wall is of cal

WAsmNGToN, Dee. 2S.-The Ercniag

OF the fiftieth congress being convened in

is being discussed among public men.
Unless the present congress shall provide

that task One of the high officers OF the

WAsmNGToN, Dec. 2i.-J. X. Red
lngton, as attorney for Lester \. Bart
lett, OF Washington, to-day made appli-
cation to Commissioner Sparks, of the
general land Office, as ex-oficio register
ard receiver for the state OF Illinois, to
locate, with Girard scrip, about ninety
acres of land in the city of Chicago, lying
on the lake, south OF the Chicago river,
being land covered by what is known as
the Talcott survey in section 10; also all
lands lying between Wabash and Michi-
gan avenues and Washington and Madi-
son streets. In explanation Mr.. Reding-
ton to-day said to an Associated Press re
porter that the Girard scrip filed as a part
OF the application with Commissioner
Sparks, was issued originally in payment
of services rendered by one Stephen
Girard to President Washington in open
ing communication with hostile Indians
in the then Northwest Territory, and as
appears upon its face is locatable on any
public lands of the United States. 1t is
claimed that these lands belong to the
United States and are, therefore, subject
to entry with this scrip. The commits
sioner received the application and scrip
and holds the matter of allowance or re-
lection of the location under advisement.
Argument in support of the application
will shortly be heard. 1t is represented
that the land in controversy is worth
about fifteen million dollars.

with Mrs. Mary Lynch, a young married
woman who formerly resided here with
her husband. a few weeks ago Mrs.
Lynch left her home and went to her

Mrs. Lynch through the heart. The I'M
fortunate woman fell to the floor face

mother if she thought Mary was dead and
at the same instant sent another bullet
through her back, between the shoulders.
The murderer then left the house and of
hceIs began securing the country for him.
Warner returned to the house about s
o'clock this morning and shot himself.
His body was found lying across that OF
his victim. He left 4 note in which he
gave the cause of the murder as jealousy.
