The Future Of Southern Maryland.

We hear it reported from several
sources that the market for Maryland
tobacco will probably be better during
the coming year. This expectation is
founded principally upon two facts
In the first place the shipments of the
new crop already made from South
ern Maryland indicate Il finer texture
of tobacco with about the same amount
of color as the crop of last year. This
will make it more desirable, and con-
sequently more salable. Another rea-
son for believing that prices will be
better is that the buyers are becoming
alarmed at the encouragement mani
tested by the growers. and at the very
decided disposition to seek out the
causes of the depression in price by
communicating in formal manner
with the European governments who
deal in our staple product. The move
ment which was started in this coun-
tv few weeks ago has attracted con-
siderable attention in Baltimore. We
hope, therefore, that the committee
appointed at the meeting of farmers of
this and the adjoining counties will be
ready before great while to report
1t is important that the matter should
be ventilated thoroughly, and if any
good can comc of the movement, the
work ought to be done in time for our
planters to feel the effects OF ii i'll the
sale of the crop now on hand.
With the restoration Of paving prices
for tobacco, our section of the State
would have no reason to complain.
We are most a1yantageously located
in our nearness to two large cities, and
in our large extent of river and bay
front. In our diversified soil and mar
yelous adaptability for the cultivation
of all the staple crops, OF vegetables
and fruits we are richly blessed. The
immense demand that is rapidly open
ing up in the Northwest for the pro-
ducts of our gardens and orchards
should give encouragement and stimuli
late land owners to renewed exertion.
1t is impossible to tell how soon the
time NAV come when from improved
facilities for shipment and other
causes it may be greatly to our profit
to engage in mere diversified system
of farming. Southern Maryland is
certainly most inviting field Tor en-
terprise, and we believe the day is not
far distant when this section will not
be surpassed in afiording all the bless
ings and comforts that happy and
prosperous community can enjoy.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
OF Republican Leaders in New
York City Yesterday.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Select Managers, and the Campaign
Being Mapped out-A Large Rep
resentation Of All branches
of the Organization.

NEW YoRE, July 1.-THE most i'm
portant Republican campaign confer
ence of the year met in this city to-day,
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. This was a
joint meeting Of the National Commit
tee, the Executive Committee of the
National League of Republican Clubs
and the presidents of the various State
leagues, the latter representing over
5000 clubs and $4,000 voters.
The object Of the joint conference is
to lay out complete plan Of work to be
done, and when this is accomplished
shoulders will be put to the wheel with
a will.
The joint conference was preceded by
seperate meeting OF each OF the bodies
named. The most important OF these,
OF course, was that OF the National
Committee for organization. This was
called for noon, and during the morn
ing speculation in the corridors OF the
hotel was busy as 10 the outlook for
officers OF the committee. Reliable news
was difficult to secure; but at II o'clock
an apparently authentic report reached
the outside that Hon. Matt. Quay, OF
Pennsylvania, was slated for two big
places-Chairman OF the National Com
mittee and Chairman OF the Executive
Committee as we'll. In the latter
position he would, OF course, be the
OF the campaign. 1t
was also said that j. S. Clarkson, Of
Iowa, who was much talked OF for Chair
man OF the National Committee, had
withdrawn his name.
At the same hour it was reported that
Hon. Samuel Fessenden, Of Connecticut,
would be unanimously reelected Secre-
tary OF the National Committee, in order
to secure the Nutmeg State, il possible,
for Harrison and Morton. George W.
Hooker, OF Vermont, wanted the place,
but us the Green Mountain State is sure
in any event to give good Republican
majority, the committee decided to lay
his name aside.
Among the prominent politicians in
the corridors during the morning were
Captain John G. Dougherty, OF Tennes-
see, who was Secretary OF the Notiiica-
ton Committee. Speaking OF the State
he said the Republican ticket met with
great favor, aud many progressive DEM
oCrats would quietly vote for Harrison
and Morton, being tired Of Cleveland
and greatly dissatisfied with the st. Louis
platform. The prospects for carrying
the State, he said, are excellent, as it is
rapidly becoming a manufacturing sec
ton and therefore must fight shy OF free
trade principles.
The Republican. National Committee
tonight elected NJ. S. Quay, OF Pennsyl-
vania, Chairman, and ]. s. Fassett, Of
New York, Secretary.

A CHICAGO MYSTERY.
Corpse of Man Dressed IL Women's
Clothes and u Weight on the Feet.

Corpse of n Mnn Dressed IL WOmen''
Clothes and Weight on the Feet.
CHICAGO, July ll.-Floating upon the
surface OF Lake Michigan, two miles
from shore, was a human body dressed
in female clothing, and with a forty
pound stone tied to its feet. The corpse
was discovered yesterday afternoon, and
was towed in by the life.saving crew
and sent to the morgue. There is no
clew to the mystery. 1t may be case
Of murder, but police opinion favors the
theory OF suicide.
The object in the water was first seen
by the tug Prindiville, while bringing
in tow Sunday afternoon. The cap
tain OF the tug notified the life-saving
station, and at A o'clock Capt. st. Peter,
with one OF his men, manned boat and
started to recover it. The body was
found at least two miles out, in direct
easterly line from the mouth OF the
river. The head and shoulders Of the
ghastly thing were standing out Of the
water, the weight on the feet keeping it
in an upright position, the head reclin-
ing limp upon the breast. A moose was
adjusted under the arms, and it was
towed in shore. The Central patrol
wagon was called and conveyed the body
to the mOrgue.
The body was clad entirely in female
attire, underclothes, dress, and gaiter
shoes. The hair was short, but the face
smooth and complexion light. That il
was the body OF man was not sus-
pected until an examination was made.
He was evidently forty or forty-five
years old, and was of large build. No
marks OF violence were found. There
was nothing on the body by which it
could be identified.
81 threw the stone overheard" said
Capt. st. Peter. at weighed about
forty pounds, and was tied TO both feet
with a three.quarter inch rope. The
hands were free"
Lieut.. Horace Elliott, of the Central
Station, was asked what he thought OF
the cise. at was probably suicide" he
replied. "a few years ago a similar
case occurred. A man tied two stones,
each weighing about thirty pounds, one
to each foot, and jumped off the break
water at the foot OF Oak street. A body
OF generous size can easily raise 100
pounds weight and come to the surface
OF the water. This body had been in
the water about two weeks. The publi-
cation Of the story may bring us some
Clew to work upon"

had fine piano ruined, besides other
damage. Frank Thayer, w. I. Lilly,
Prof. Anger, Mrs. Britt and many
Others suffered considerable damage. In
South Grafton W. II. Dent had fine
library almost ruined, besides out
houses that were washed away and a
dwelling house overturned. William
Brown, Henry swindler, James Allen
der and many others suffered largely
from the overflow.
The Grafton K Greenbrier road lost
three bridges between here and Phillip,
and one or two bridges above Phillip.
Manager Hall arrived from Phillip
this evening, having walked large part
OF the distance, which is twenty-five
miles, over his road. Steps will be at
once taken to place the road again in
running order, although the loss will
reach several thousand dollars and will
prove a heavy strain on its working
capital.
Nearly all the bridges over Sandy
creek, tributary Of the Tygarts Valley,
have been washed away, entailing con-
siderable loss to that portion OF Preston
and Barbour counties through which
the stream passes. Numerous losses oc-
Cured along the Tygarts Valley above
here, no accurate account OF which has
yet been obtained.

ELKS MAY LOCK HORNS.
Several Burning Questions Brought Up ut
Their Convention.

N"-"N-~'N
Their Convention.
New YoRK, July 1.-THE delegates
constituting the Grand Lodge OF the Be-
nevolent Protective Order OF Elks, who
were in convention yesterday, spent last
evening at the various places Of amuse-
ment.
To-day's session was opened by Chair.
man Leech. During the day there will
be an elaborate scheme presented by the
Philadelphia lodge for the creation Of
supreme grand lodge. BY this is meant
that the smaller lodges shall elect dele
gates to a State convention, or grand
lodge, which shall in turn elect the del
egates to the supreme grand lodge.
This is such wide divergence from
the present mode that it is likely to be
defeated. The all.important feature OF
this years convention will be the bring
ing UP OF the migratory scheme, or plan
for the holding OF the convention at
different places each year. This is the
burning question OF the Western mem
bers, and the wire.pulling for votes on
the scheme will only be exceeded by
the workers connected with the various
political machines. These men claim
that il is not fair to make them journey
eastward every year, and will make a
strong fight TO carry their point. Here
tOiore the delegates from New York,
Pennsylvania and other Eastern States
have been able to nip in the bud any
thing looking to the migratory plan out
lined. The result OF the contest over
the question is looked for with interest
in all parts Of the country.

TERRIBLE LOSS IN DODDRIDGE,

Hundreds of People HOmeless-Great De-
structIon to Crops.
Special Di.pdich TO he IateuiOeHeer.
WEST UNION, W. Va, July 1.-THE
floods Of yesterday far exceeded anything
ofthe kind known to our Oldest citizens,
the nearest being that of '52, which fell
short of the present one about twenty
or thirty inches. The loss to the people
Of this county in the way Of grain, fenc-
ing, grass and general products has been
very heavy and when you add to this
ties, lumber, slaves and merchandise,
together with household goods, bridges
&c, the sum would aggregate $4,000 or
$4,000. At Blandville, Wm. Trainers
store was swept away, carrying with it
the postoiIice, also Hess's blacksmith
shop, the loss in these alone being s., 500.
Near Smithton Mrs. Clark and child
were rescued from their retreat to the
attic by boat. The husband, having
gone to look after some stock, was unable
to return.
Many families are left homeless and
without any prospects of winters food,
while hundreds are scrubbing and scour-
ing their homes, trying to make them
habitable. The iurrowed checks OF moth
ers still bear traces OF the flood Of tears
shed over their desolate homes. The
clouds have passed and some ray Of
hope still brightens the future. The
farmers may yet be able to save their
wheat. The railroad is still blockaded here
by the arch in the tunnel having fallen.
We are hungry for the INTILLIGENCER,
having had no mail for two days.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
A Report Favoring the Submission of d
Constitutional Amendment.

A Report Favoring the Submission of n
Constitutional Amendment.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
proposition to submit to the people Of
the several States constitutional amend
mend to prohibit the liquor triffic in the
United States was favorably reported by
Senator Blair yesterday from the Com
mittee on Education. The report ac-
companying the bill said:
"There are members Of the committee
who concur in the report recommending
the submission Of the proposed amend
ment TO the States who do not by such
action indicate their approval OF the
adoption OF the amendment Us a part OF
the Constitution, nor that they would
themselves advocate its ratification by
the Legislatures OF the States"
After stating that majority OF the
committee think refusal TO submit the
proposed amendment to the States for
ratification would be analogous to the
denial OF the right OF party to be heard
in court upon question OF private right
the report continues:
"The agitation for National legislation
for the extirpation OF the traffic in
alcoholic poison made and sold to be
used as a beverage will never cease to
disturb and finally to destroy the great
political parties until they submit to the
States the question Of the enlargement
Of National constitutional jurisdiction so
as to include control OF the subject.
When decided, il adversely to the rati:
fication, the subject will be eliminated
from National politics, at least for many
years. II, on the other hand, the pro.
posed amendment should be ratified and
become a part OF the National law, the
chief curse OF the world would be sum
moned to the block OF National Justice
and die on the hand Of the only power
which can WELD an ax big and SHARP
enough to cut off its hydra head. Their
we shall have peace. But agitation fol
the destruction OF the liquor traffic can
not cease until the evils which it inAictl
upon mankind are removed or the hu
man race is destroyed. 1t is useless Il
cry peace, peace, when there is NJ
peace"
