A GOOD story is told by tile Provi.
dence journal of o well-known citizen
of Providence who, in view Of recent
burglaries in his neighborhood, con.
cluded to remain over night at his city
residence few nights ago. During the
evening he laid down upon a lounge o
while, meditating what he would do in
case his castle should be invaded BY
thieves that night. While thus medi.
tating he fell asleep, and his slumbers
were SO refreshing that nearly two
hours passed before he awoke. Open.
ing his eyes and ears, he fancied he saw
and heard some person in the house. Sc
curing position which enabled him to
have an unobstructed view, he saw a
man in another room, and circumvent-
ing him in roundabout way, he came
upon him unexpectedly and struck him
blow which nearly felled him to the
floor. JudgeOf the surprise Of the gen.
tleman when he discovered that the
man whom he had SO vigorously
pounded was policeman who had re-
ceived orders to guard the house while
the owner was supposed to be out Of the
city with his family. The policeman
told him in explanation of his presence,
that he saw a light in the house, and
finding the door unfastened, had walked
in and been all over the house in search
Of the supposed thief or thieves, and
had just telephoned to the station fol-
help to make the capture, and had been
directed by the sergeant to await his ar
rival, and as soon as the latter had put
in an appearance undoubtedly the pro-
prietor of the house would have been
arrested.

The last Congress failed to make
the proper appropriation to pay the
$4,000 granted annually TO the
States and territories having an
agricultural college. The present
Congress has corrected the over
sight and the money is now availa-
able. This will be Il great help to
the Agricultural College in this
State, which the Legislature. has SO
shamefully neglected of late years.
Ours is an agricultural State, but
the loose manner of farming which
has been handed down from father
to son, reCders the business exceed
ingly irksome and Improbable. A
well endowed college will aid ma
terially in infusing new life and
more knowledge in the science of
farming, that would make Maryland
one of the most prosperous agricul-
tural States in the Union. We have
the soil and climate, but are def
cient in energy and knowledge.

IT is about time for our esteemed
contemporaries of the Democratic

movement Washington Post.
Come, come, Mr.. Posi-; that will
not do. The democratic party has

as a reduction of the tariff. II Hon.

gy which our politicians displayed
in our last election is in marked
contrast to the present silence of
our city council and apparent in
difference to the most important
interests of our people, as involved
in the measures affecting Annapo-
lis, which are before Congress and
the Legislature.
Year after year an appropriation
of over $50, 900 is recommended by
the engineer department for the
improvement Of Annapolis harbor,
and year after year is allowed to die
unnoticed by our city government
or business men, while delegations
and petitions from other parts Of
the State and all over the country,
are sent to Washington to urge
their respective claims, and by dint
of energy and business like enter
prise, they get all or a part at least
of what they seek. Annapolis har-
Dor might as we'll be in Oregon, to
judge by the efforts made to serve
the people in this most important
matter, and the very existence of
the city is not even recalled to Con.
gress or the committee by any Off
cial action of our Mayor or Alder
men.
The matter of Public Building
is equally unrecognized, and Meth
or letters, resolutions or committees
of the city are sent to Washington
The praiscworthy efforts of Mr..
Compton should be sustained by
cordial endorsement at least. Al
though the amount is but half what
it should be to pay for ground and
erect building of sohdity and
beauty worthy of our government,
yet half loaf will be better than
none
. There is a provision for the pur-
chase Of "Lockwoodsville," in order
to unite the Naval Academy proper
ty in one tract now pending before
Congress. A most important I'M
provement to Annapolis, as it would
lead to the opening and extension
of King George street and eventual
" to the creation of fine avenue
reaching from the harbor to Gid
dings' Station on the A. & B. S. l..
Railroad. This matter should en-
gage the cooperation of our City
Council.
Some effort should also be made
by our Council in concert with the
present able Board of County Com
missioners, to reduce the enormous
and unjust proportion of taxes paid
by the city to Anne Arundel coun-
ty, or 20 obtain larger proportion
than 81, 500 out of the $4,000 we
contribute. We cannot hope to To-
cate capital here with tax rate
equal nearly to New York city, and
larger than is paid by any 5000
people in the State, or probably IN |
the Union. Robbery is the proper |
name for it. A bill looking to some !
mitigation of the trouble, or a dis
tribution of the taxes in conformity /
with Justice, through an extension /
Of the limits of Annapolis, and the
spending of the money on the ter
ritory where it is collected, was pro-
posed to be offered in the Legisla-
ture. If the limits of the city were !
extended two miles or more, and all
the money now collected within that
area including our $4,000 we're
spent exclusively for the benefit of
the people who pay it, we should be
infinitely better off aud the county
also, as the prosperity of the city
would afford market and . centre
Of activity to the surrounding coun-
try. This measure should at least

Why You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition OF city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as 10 expect such compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and half minutes, and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,

ROME, Oct PA dispatch from Potenza
says that there were four hundred passen-

and fifty dead and wounded have been
identified. Many of the victims are un-
Known. Scores continue to be un-
earth. Soldiers are working hard
at the wreck. The work is i'm.
peded by cold and snow. An entire
theatrical company was killed. Several
headiess and armless corpses have been
found in the neighboring river. A mother

phe refused to release from her embrace
her two dead children, A young priest
was buried for two hours, and when extri-
Gated it was found that his hair had

ing OF six persons, was killed. Two
carriages in which were thirty car
blneers sustained no damage. The carbi-
neers were able to assist in extricating the
victims All the officials attached to the
train were killed. II is estimated that
over two hundred thousand cubic meters
of earth fell upon the line. Many of the
passengers who escaped with their lives
left the scene Immediately after the acci-

COLLISION.
steamship Sunk In New York Bay by
Ferry-Boat.


NEW YORK, Oct 23-The Atlas Line
steamer, Atlas, from Hayti, ladened with
trult, was run into and sunk at i:l5 p. m.
'o-day IN the North river, opposite Bar
,lay street, by the New Jersey Central
rallroad ferry-boat Nelson. A panic oc-
Cured among the Nelson's passengers, but
the boat reached the pier in damaged
condition, and no lives were lost. A fog
prevailed at the time Of the collision.
Inc Atlas sank slowly, giving tims
for her captain and crew to be
taken off by tugs that came up.
Passengers on the ferry boat say
they heard no whistle blown by either
boat. The steamer had the right of way,
as she was in the middle of the stream and
going up against heavy ebb tide. The
ferry boat evidently did not have time to
slack up after getting near enough to the
steamer to see her through the fog. The
,passens Is think she was proceeding too
recklessly, considering the fog, but no
statement has yet been made by her Off
GERS. The Atlas shows only the top of her
smoke'stack above the water. Her cargo
is total loss, but the vessel can probably
be raised and repaired.
