Another gentleman has been using his
lungs on the gas in Hotel North. A sailor
by the name Of John Mitchell, of Boston,
put up at the house Thursday and was given
a room. He had evidently been used to tbs
pale gimmer of an oil lamp, which pun
would extipguish and came the same game
on the gas jet when he came to turn in. The
persuasive influence of his breath had .
speedy effect, and with q final flicker Of
warning the glim succumbed. He sough,
his dowuy couch and lay wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus and Illuminating gas until
along toward morning when he swoke and
smiled the odorifeyoas atmosphere. He
arose in half stupeied condition, opened
the transom over the door and again crswled
into bed, from which place he was hauled
out by the porter, who was In search of the
leaking fixture, and luckily found it before
further damage was done. When asked why
he didn't turn the gas out, he replied that he
didn't know what the burned stuff was, but
thought by the smell somebody must have
the fever and been fu nigated." Such ignor-
ance Is pardonable, when we take into con-
sideratiou that he was from the Hub Of the
Universe

DanyilIe Tobacco Market-The lyDE
PENDENT for years previous to the repeal b,
the last legislature of the obnoxious eslric-
ton, worked for The abolition OF the Compul-
sorry feature in the tobacco inspection laws OF
the State. THIS change was reluctantly made
BY the ring bosses, after it had been fought
for years by the whole Democratic ring press
ia the counties of Southern Maryland, where
most Of the crop of the State is raised That
the course of the INDEPENDENT was hight in
thus persistenly advocating the abeii 81 OF
the feature, which over aud over again, we
have termed iuiqnitous, il proven by The fact
that other sections of the country now are
striving TO get shipments Of our bbacco,
which, unGar the old law. was not pTmissa
BILE because Of the dictatorial action Of the
ring managers who refused to allow the repeal
of the law which would allow it TO be shipped
to any place other than Baltimore Commits
sioner James A. Murray, one Of our most
and successful young farmers is
in receipt of a letter from Messrs. Keeling
and Berger, large tobacco manufactures, and
of the Cabell Warehouse,lin Dam
willie, Va, in which he is solicited b make
shipments of his crop, sample of Which be
sent to then. He was informed that Dbacc
Of the kind and quality enclosed would bring
from $40 TO S24 per hundred pounds 1t WAS
also stated that il the tobacco was frecured,
instead Of cured in the style that our grand
fathers cured it, it would bring from 500 to
$40 per hundred. Mr.. Murray being one OF
the fen farmers Of our county who is anxious
to get out of the old time ru;s, will shipsope
Of his last years crop to the Danyille iTmland
if his expectations are realized, which they
will be, be will will continI e to
ship portion, if not all his crop, to that par
ket We wish Mr.. Murray the success ii de-
serves for his new departure.

me OF the worst all round dn,s of the season
It rnined, showed, hailed, hiowed and at in

great portion of the country Many lives
we're lost and great damage was done to ship
ping, barns and other buildings. In thus
county many trees were blUNn down.
which in plarcs blocked travel until the.
could be removed Two or three trees were
blown across the railroad track between Port
Tobacco Station and Cox's, after the noon
train had pissed down, and on the upward
trip the train ran into them, but they were
fortunately pushed out OF the way by the
engine without much damage resulting to the
train, except to the guard rail OF the engine
and some glasses broken in the windows OF
the cooches. At lancaster's wharf seven or
eight boats, several of them loaded with oys-
ters were sunk or broken 10 pieces. A valua-
BILE boat, the property of Mr.. Washington
Crowther, was also destroyed at Cedar Point.
A barn and other buildings were blown down
on that portion of Milton Hill! in Piccawaxen,
owned by Mr.. W. Hamilton. From every
section of the county we have accounts OF
damage done. 1t was a terrific storm, the
like of which we do not care to see again.
