People around Hanover, McSher.
rystown, Abbotstown, and other
places along the Baltimore and Han.
over Railroad, have been in confirm.
al excitement and fear for the past
week on account of house and barn
burners and their threats. Buildings
were guarded, furniture and stock
removed, grain taken to market, aud
armed men on the watch everywhere
Tramps have made themselves scare,
as it was not safe for them TO be
about.
An arrest was made this week oil
a son of one of the parties whose
barn was burned. He gave bail for
his appearance at Court and protests
his innocence.

THE WEST VIRGINIA CONTEST.

While the reelection of John Il.
Kenna to the United States Senate
will be sad disappointment to the
Republicans of West Virginia, they
are to be warmly congratulated.
Not only have they made a fight
which will be historic, but they
emerge from the contest without a
stain upon their record. The tide
might undoubtedly have been turn
ed at any moment during several
weeks il they would have consented
to deal, but they steadfastly spurn-
ed any such thought. At the last
moment overtures were made to
Mr.. Golf, which, had he seen fit to
accept, he would today be the sena.
tor elect from the state. The bait
was one calculated to tempt almost
any man, but it was promptly and
peremptorily declined. The issue at
stake was not that of individual am
bition, of success bought by a com,
promise of principle, it was the look
ing forward to the gaining of a vic
tory tor Republican ideas, and that
is practically accomplished even in
defeat. No fact is or can be more pat
ent than that Mr.. Kenna's success
was attained only as the result OF a
bargain. Could an expression of
the sentiment of West Virginia be
taken today, no one will question
that Nathan Golf would be found to
stand far higher in the estimation OF
the people than John q. Kenna. He
has been tried and proved, and
thousands who have differed from
him in politics have been won by the
sterling worth that in the trying
moment proved itself superior to
temptation.
The result, therefore, while it
raises Mr.. Golf to a far higher place
in the estimation of his fellow citi-
zens, must at the same time materi.
ally advance the cause of Republ!-
canism. The same lofty spirit which
has marked his course has been re.
flected in the Republican members.
No faint fingers about them, and
when the session closes they can re-
turn to their constituents and look
them in the face, with the proud
consciousness of a duty honestly per
formed.-American.

Nearly all the Cumberland visitor
will go by the Baltimore and Ohio,

this article and take it with them.
The company has temporary tracks
on the base ball grounds, in their
freight yards and at the old Schuetzen
Park, and the square at Delaware
avenue and e and North Capitol
streets is being used for tracks. The
depot on the Metropolitan Branch
will, during the most crowded portion
of Inauguration times, be at the New
York Avenue Station, and the passen.
gers will be brought up Seventh street
and New York avenue by the Electric
Railway cars. Many of the tracks will
be used for long lines of sleeping cars,
which will serve as lodgings for the
companies, clubs, &C., which have
chartered them. The limited and
special Inauguration trains will
stop at New York Avenue Station,
where people going only to Baltimore
should go, but the through New York
and Philadelphia trains go into the
regular depot near the capitol, and
leave there at the regular hour
