statement of the X rk and Kay law.
suit:
A SUIT is now pending in the Cir
cult Court for Cecil county, in
Equity. between Lewis H. Kirk and
Alexander B. Kay, both of the Sixth

mil property about two miles north
west of Rising Sun, on what IS known
as Stony Run, Mr.. Kay owns the
meadow through which Stony Run
passes Immediately before it enters
into klrk's dam, Kay's meadow
also adjoins the dam. Over year
ago MIR, Kay commenced with force
of men to cut new channel for the
creek through ais property and the
new route proposed to put the water
of the stream back in it's original
channel before it left his land. This
new channel is entirey d different in
it's course from the 0 d one, and Mr..
Kirk obtained from the Court Pre-
llmlnary injunction restraining nay
from completing his work, alleging
that if the course of the stream was
changed that it would in times OF
flood destroy his mill dam and prop
erty and do him irreparahle damage.
Testimony has been taken during
the past year, and some of it has
been furnished by Civil Engineers
who have made surveys of the
ground, The Chief Engineer of the
Pennsylvania Raj road Company is a
witness. This case Involves many
fine legal points, and it is expected
that the case will be argued at the
next term of the court W. S

specimens of this valuable clav.
One of the Jumps is in the original
state as taken from the pit and the
other had been washed. There is
considerable sand mixed with the
kaoline which has to be washed out
by placing the stuff in washers made
espec ally for the purpose. The clay
is of chalky whiteness, much of it
when burned turns yellow. Mr..
loves mineral burns white and is
pronounced to be of first quality
The vein promises to be very large.
About 10 feet of soil and sand over
lie the clay which has been worked
to depth of 10 feet, and oorings

How he Got The Preachers.

Crowell, the liquor dealers agent
in the Pennsylvania campaign last
spring tells how he got the preachers
on the side of high license.
"How did you manage, Mr.. Gro we'll
to get so many ministers on your
side?"
"Oh, that is the easiest thing out
No, did not go to the preachers as
| did TO the politicians, but l always
found out a good man in the church
who could work the preacher with
but little trouble, for half of the
preachers are towards. Then 1 hired,
for so much a name, some old broken
down newspaper man or politician
to 60 around with a petition and get
the names of ministers and lawyers,
which we published with fine effect.
We talked High License all the time.
NeUer try to defend the saloon; If so
you loose the influence Of church
members and ministers; but talk about
the revenue, CIDER, taxation, and es-
pecaalLy Piohibition don't prohibit
and clamor for High License. l had
thousands of badges printed with
High License and gave them out to
poll-workers on election day and it
had fine effect"
Look out for similar tactics in our
campaign this summer.

A Great NAVY.

The last and latest attempt to copy
English government ways oy the
millionair class and their followers
is to construct a great navy, and
$300.O00.000 is named as the first
instatement. What do we want
with a lot of worthless ironclads to
lie and rot? The idea is to amuse
the people by warIike display d
thus enable the same class to hold
control and continue to shape the
policy of the government and estah
lish permanently an aristocratic class
in the United States on footing
similar to that of England. Since
the rebellion the government has
been steadily held 20 this gauge.
Our financial laws and tax laws have
conformed to the English aristocra-
tic, wealthy class idea as near as
possible. and this initiation of a
grand ironclad navy is the latest
inspiration. We need a commercial
marine but not navy of useless
ironc ads with guns on them which
would be of no manner of use IN q
naval battle. A few cruisers to
patrol the seas and look after the
interests of our people abroad is all
The navy the Unitod States wants.
We have no foreign possessions or
colonies to guard, or balance of
power to maintain in continental
Earope and need no expensive navy.
