"CUT 'EM FOR FROST"
The Mayor Held a Full Hand and
Called Every Time.


The dock of the police court was a
study when that tribunal began business
Yesterday morning, and the cash-box OF
the chief of police was another when the
session adjourned. The pen was chug
full of delinquents, and the general color
was "off." The group looked like the
wrecked end of a cheap kaleidoscope, and
there wasn't prisoner on deck who
could set still long enough to repeat the
first ofthe ten commandments. The nerves
of the whole cabOodle were badly shat
tered, and red Ticker" of an exceedingly
inferior quality had caused the shattcr-
ing. His Honor surveyed the panorama
spread before him, took down the muni-
cipal pruning knife, whetted the blade on
the leather back ola copy of The Code
and the carving commenced. He "cut
'em for frost" did the mayor, yesterday
and fines of $40, SIS, 500, sos, $50, So
25, So. .25, were announced SO numerous
" that Col, Baird had to call on officer
Bradley to assist in taking up the collec-
ton. Finally the performance concluded
and every man in the court house felt as
if he had gotten value received for the
time he took to attend the show. 1t
was big court and lacked a good deal
of being as solemn as a funeral.

THE LIE CONTE PEAR.
A Fine Specimen Grown by MIR.
RObt. A. Long.

Col. T. B. Long yesterday afternoon
left with us specimen of this fine pear of
distinctly Southern origin, and which is
the subject OF such extensive and profta
bic culture in Georgia and Florida. Dur
ing the past season the lie Compte pear
figured largely among the early fruits
brought here. But we saw none nearly
so large as the specimen before us, or so
fine in shape and color. 1t weighs three
quarters of pound. 1t was raised in
the garden of Mr.. Robert Long in this
city, and is the fruit of a tree brought by
Col. Long from Thomasville, Ga, few
years ago, this being its first year of
bearing. This is perhaps as high a lati-
tudc and elevation at which this variety
has perfected. But the pear i'll its other
varieties would find here congenial eli
mate and soil, and should receive more
attention than has been awarded it..
Few have paid much attention to it. The
late Prof Kimberly was one of those
few; and he left behind him pear or
chard which is now bearing finely. Ger
tain fruits, largely neglected, are cspecI-
ally adapted to this altitude, among
which are the pear, the plum in many
varieties, the cherry and the berries, es-
pecially the raspberry and the straw
berry, profitable in the hands of those
who have taken pains to cultivate them.
These two berries, like the grape, have
the endorsement of nature for their ex-
tensive cultivation, the native varieties
of all three growing here in abundance
and perfection.

Sunset COX said TO be Dying.

NEW YORK, September 9.-An evening
paper says: Congressman Samuel Sulli-
van Coz is dying at his home, 13 East
10Th street. Four days ago he was con
fined to his bed by an attack OF what he
Supposed to be malarial fever. This
rapidly developed into acute pneumonia,
which has dehcd the best medical skill.
Yesterday his physicians gave up all
hope, and announced that the days Of
the statesman-humorist could be num-
bercd on the fingers Of one hand. Con
gresham Cox was to have lecturcd on
his visit to Yellowstone Park before the
Steclilcr Association tomorrow night.
At three O'Clock this afternoon Hon. s.
S. Cox was reported as being very low.
A conference has been held by his physi-

The letter reads as follows:


ASllENllLE, SGplCllDCT I.
Editor Citizen If any one desires
proof through his own senses of the ur-
gent necessity of intercession i'll behalf Of
dumb animals, let him seek some window
or doorstep at the corner of Oak and
Woodhn streets. Here is turn toward
the east where the ascent grows hard,
and where, after rains, the clay, mud and
the ruts are deep. Here is place where
it would be no weakness to stand and
weep at sight of the dreadful loads that
animals are forced to draw. One OBJ
server remarked while watching the ef-
forts of a single small lean horse, that
the load must weigh twelve hundred
pounds. Often the drivers allow the
straining creatures to stop and get lit
tie breath; but soon the loud goading of
their voices, and frequently the strokes
of their whips to start the animals again,
cause the listener something worse than
an earache. 1t is but fair to record that
no driver when spoken to by distressed
witness has ever replied rudcly also that
some have said the responsibility for the
great loads is not their theirs, but their
employers. Is there authority to regu-
late such weights? If not let the human
and energetic rise to an amendment" OF
the constitution and laws of this lovely
Land of the Sky" May they eschew
red tape and circumlocution. Let us
not be prompt and feet in all else save
deeds of justice and love. A FRIEND.

DucIists determined to Fight.

COLUMBUS. Ga, September 9.-Mr.
Huff left Columbus last night for Macon.
The mavur of Columbus released him on
condition that he would go to Macon.
As he Huff did not promise to remain
in Macon, it is believed the Patterson
party will nc met either in South Caro-
lima or Florida, and the duel will be
fought If friends fail to settle the matter.

over a game, by another young man by
the name OF Dargan, had died from the

telegram from Wadesboru received this
afternoon says that Mr.. Marshall is
somewhat bettcr.--There has evidently
been a blow somewhere at sea, probably
not far from lIattcras, for the sea has
been very high off this coast for several
days past. The sight from the shore is
said to have been a grand one.

There has been very considerable
injury to the hay crop Ivy the rain this
week, which a reasonable exercise of
judgment should have averted. For
farmers to slash down large quantities
of grass on saturday in such a season
as this when rain is the rule and sun
shine the exception, was very incon-
siderate. The grass that was cut on
Saturday got pretty we'll cured on Sun
day and the rain that followed resulted
in destroying at least one half of its
most valuable constitutes. Hay this
harvest should be put in the NOV the
same day it is cut, which can be done
ifjudiclously managed aud will maxi
better hay than when sundried.

A Fashionable Wedding.
Tho wedding of Miss Camilla Co

Tho wedding of Miss Camilla Con
ner and Mr.. Arthur Hale which came
off on Wednesday, July 3rd, was the
event of the season in the neighbour
hood of the brides home, who is a
descendent Of the old aristocratic
Physie family. DR.. Physic in his
day was the leading surgeon of Phil
adelphia and lie had no superior in
the country. His country seat was
one Of the most beautiful on the DC.
toraro, situated in the sth district OF
Cecil county about one mile from
Rowlandville. where he built q pa
latial (for those days. residence,
which stands in the midst OF mag.
niiicent grove of stately trees. Com
odore Conner of the u. S. Navy
married Miss Physic, daughter of the
eminent surgeon, who fell heir to the
"Octoraro Farm" in the division OF
the Dr's large estate. Philadelphia,
where the largest part Of the estate
was located, was considered the
home of the family, while the
country seat on the romantic and
beautiful Octoraro, was always the
summer residence, where a large
company of city guests made life
glide with health and pleasure. Com
odore Conner, grandfather Of the
bride of Wednesday last, was every
inch sea captain, and if our mem
DRY is not at fault, served with Perry

and bravery in landing General
SCOTS troops at Veracruz.
But we are straying from the how
ers of Cupid to the field of Mars.

Conner, and the groom, Mr.. Arthur
Hale, is nephew of Rev. Edward
Everett Hale. The wedding was Il
semi private affair and waa attended

phia, and few friends from the i'm
mediate neighborhood. A special
car brought the company from Phia
dclphia to Rowlandville station on
the B. 9. r. r. where their car wait
ed for their return in the evening.
Coaches from Baltimore were in
waiting to convey the guests from
the station to the ancestral halls
where the bride awaited the coming
of the bridegroom and the wedding
guests.
Az one o'clock the marriage c. T.
emory was performed by Rev. John
Martin of Princess Anne, Nd. The
bride is a blonde of medium size,
handsome and happy in the posses
sion Of graceful figure. The groom
is a remarkably fine looking man,
and has the reputation of being mu-
steal and literary in his taste and al
together bright and clever. A stump.
tuous dinner was served after the
marriage ceremony. The young
couple took the 4.30 p. m. train on the
Central Division and will 60 East Oh
