the Baltimorean out in the usual artistic
manner. GARRETT went crazy, and the
Baltimore & Ohio ceased to be money
making railroad; the. Johns Hopkins en-
dowment was represented by lot OF paper
certificates which were of no productive
value, and the great institution of learning
which was the pride of the monumental
city and the boast of Americans generally,
saw humiliation staring it in the face.
The university has struggled along with
its reserve, by reducing salaries, cut
ting down expenses - and narrowing
its field of usefulness until the surplus
being exhausted the announcement came
the other day of the necessarily early clos
ing of the institution. Afterwards the
trustees borrowed 100000, and it is now
hoped that by the time this sum has been
exhausted the B. & o. will be paying divi
dends and the endowment fund be again
valuable.
There is nothing equal to land for per
manent endowment. 1t may pay less at
times than stocks and bonds, and there may
be fluctuations in the selling value; but the
land remains and is less affected by specu-
lation than any other kind of prop
erty. Combinations, pools and mo-
nopolies cannot make it valueless
and stock gambling has no influence on it.
If JOINS HOPKINS had put:his millions in
land and given the land to his university,
the assaults of the GoULDs and VANDERBILTs
on the railroad, and the insanity of a
GARRETT would have had no effect on the
institution.
1t is thought whatever may be the out
come Of the Investment, the university
will not go down, The people of Baltimore
and Maryland have too much pride to per-
NIT the great school to die. A fund will
certainly be created for continuing the in
stitution if private citizens have to go
deep down in their pockets for the cash.
Old Johns Hopkins will live in spite of the
unwisdom of those who have brought it to
the verge of ruin.

LAND is THE SAFEST.

The country was startled the other
morning by dispatch stating that the
great Johns Hopkins university at Balti-
more had come to grief; that is to say, that
its endowment having ceased to be produc-
tive, the usefulness of the institution
would have to be greatly curtailed if the
university were not closed. A later tele-
gram said arrangements had been made by
which the school would be continued in all
in this bankruptcy, if it shall prove
to be one, which men should
heed, the lesson teaching the instability
of paper and speculative securities. Good
old JOHNS HOPKINS endowed the university
with Baltimore & Ohio railroad stock of a
par value Of $4,000 and of market
value of g, 5O0,O 900. At that time B. & o.
was considered the very best stock in the
country. The road was making money and
paying 10 per cent. dividends. The city of
Baltimore was a large stockholder, and the
ablest railway managers in the country
were interested in it. A few years ago,
after the death of the elder GARRETT who
had been the brains of the great road,
assaults were made on the b. & O.,
and wise men saw trouble ahead
The Johns Hopkins trustees wanted to
sell their stock and invest the fund in
something more substantial, but young
GARRETT, the unfortunate fellow who has
been insane for the past few years, and
who was member of the university trus-
tees, dissuaded his associates from dispos-
ing of the shares by assuring them that
the company was impregnable and would
continue for all time to pay large divi-
dends. We all know the sad history of
young GARRETT's encounters, first
with the VANDERBILTs and afterwards
with JAY GOULD, the latter laying

that SIDNEY DILLON will be his successor.
1t is further said that Mr. DMLoN's pres

THE HERALD is saying nothing against Mr..

to say that the people served by the Union
Pacific would be pleased to see SIDNEY

company of her S-year-old daughter and
palm leaf fan, prepared to enjoy quiet
evening upon the front porch.
Unfortunately the S-year-old was in a
talkative mood and tho following unseason-
able dialogue took place:

The S-year-old giggled. but the stout woman

fit of frenzy, jumped out of bed this morn
ing and Drained his six-months old baby
and attempted to murder his wife and then
cut his own throat with table knife. The

infant, but he caught it up and beat out its
brains against the wall Then siezing a
knife the maniac pursued the woman from
the house. The police, when summoned,
found him in room pacing up and down
and singing lullaby to the corpse of his
infant, which he held in his arms. The
blood was streaming from the wound in his
neck, inflicted in his attempt at self de-
struction.
He is machinest who, before his mar

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., May 5.-Last
night and this morning fatal riot oc-
CURED at the Sayerville brick yards, five
miles below the city. Agent e. Henderson
and 100 men all started last night to put in
spur from the main line on the Raritan
River railroad across the land of free
holder Edward Furman down three brick
yards to William F. Fishers yard. Furman
was opposed to their crossing his land and
called out his men. The railroad men were
reinforced by brick yard men until 800 were
tengaged in the fight, by midnight Fur
mans men attacked the railroad men and
burned ties, materials and cars. Pistols,
clubs and stones were freely used. George
was killed outright. He was knocked
down with a club and a sharp
pointed crOwbar was iammed through
his head. John Kennedy, railroad man,
was so badly injured that he died in an
hour. At 4 o'clock this morning the sheriff
of Middleseq county called out a posse of
fifty men. When they reached the place
all was quiet and the railroad men had
stopped work to recount forces.
The Raritan River railroad is new en-
terprise running EfrOm South Amboy to
Bond Brook. Furman complains of the
company crossing his land without his con-
SENT which the company claims ne gave.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening all was quiet
but the railroad men, who are encampted
in the woods, are being heavily reinforced
from along the line, and trouble is eX-
pected, as both parties are determined.

peaceful among the Raritan River railroad

ST. PAUL, May 6.-Furious forest fires
are raging in the northern parts of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. An immense amount
Of damage has been done and for miles on
three sides of Duluth the fire RACES among
pines. Many country residences have been
destroyed. On the Harmontown road, near
Duluth, every dwelling for four miles is
destroyed. tits feared also that some lives
have been lost, as incoming farmers report
vast sea of fire sweeping every
thing before it. Several houses were
burned yesterday near Spirit-Land.
South of Ashland for $50 miles
the forest is ablaze. Cumberland, Wiscon-
sin, is almost surrounded by fire. The
people are alarmed, fearing the destruction
of the city. North of Grantsburg, Wis,
the fire swept the country, destroying every
thing in its path Seven houses, barns,
granaries and fences were swept out of
existence along the Northern Pacific in the
neighb0rhood of Cromwell. Tamarack for
ests and whatever else comes in the fires
way are turned into ashes. Near Hinckley,
Mimi, Thomas Campbell and Ernest Low
ell were surrounded by fire and so badly
burned that they will die.
