A young son of Mr.. Horace Murphy, of
Clarksburg, while attempting to unite his
horse and bring him out of a stable at
Boyds was badly hurt by the colt throwing
his head around, knocking the boy down
under his feet and then paving him on the
head, hurting him SO badly that he had to
be taken home insensible. The accident
occurred about o'clock on Sunday alter
noon last.
On Monday night last quite large num-
Der OF ladies and gentlemen visited the par
lar of DIR. G. j. Maddox, of this place, to
witness the blooming of that wonderful
plant, the Night Blooming Cereus. The
plant upon which this flower grew was
about two feet tall, with dark green leaves,
and the flower was OF milky whiteness and
about the size and somewhat the shape of
an ordinary white lily, with an exquisitey
formed petal in the centre, and emits very
fragrant perfume
St. Mary's Catholic Church, this town,
was on Sunday last the scene of a large
gathering to witness the confirmation Of a
class OF forty seven persons The exercises
were conducted by CARDINAL Gibbons, as
sisted by Fathers Mackin and Rosensteel.
Previous to the confirmation ceremony mass
was celebrated by the resident pastor, and
at the close OF mass the cardinal delivered
an eloquent sermon, which was listened to
with marked attention by the large congre-
CATION. At 8 P. M. class of nineteen was
confirmed at Carroll Chapel. Tuesday morn
ing class of eighty-one was confirmed at
GAINESVILLE.
The August crop reports show that there
has been considerable reduction in the con-
dition of all cereals The unusually hot
spell in July, which caused serious drouth
in many of the Western grain districts, has
made corn fall off twenty points in a month,
an alarming decline. In parts Of the Mis-
souri, and Ohio Valley the hot winds have
scorched the corn so that it is believed that
under the most favorable condition the crop
must fall far short of the estimates that have
been made. In New England only late
warm season can save it, In other sections
the reports are not so uniavorable.
Arrangements for Selling the Canal.
The Hagerstown DAILY Mail of Saturday
says: "Chief Justice Alvey returned to
Hagerstown from Oakland last night, and
found awaiting him communication from
the Attorney General inclosing an order
from the Board of Public Works That
order directs the Attorney General to recon-
mend to the Court the appointment of Mr..
Thomas NJ Lanahan, of Baltimore, as one
OF the trustees for the sale OF the canal. The
decree for the sale will be signed during the
coming week Messrs Cowen, Wallis, Poe,
the Attorney General and others will come
to Hagerstown Wednesday or Friday to
submit decree to the Court. Whether
there will be appeal from the decree by the
bondholders of A or whether the contest OF
those bondholders will take place over the
distribution of the purchase money after the
sale remains TO be seen. There is some talk
in the inner circles that the Washington and
Cumberland Railroad Company will aban-
don the benefit of the act of 1890 transfer
ring to them the States interest in the canal
This is not unlikely as the act itself is ex-
ceedingly questionable, and then it involves
the payment Of certain sums to the bond
holders of 1874, who, under Judge Alvey's
decision, have no interest. We suspect that
the Cumberland and Washington Company
will take no steps to get possession Of the
States mortgage until after the sale. II the
price of the canal is not bid up over the
100000 required to pay the mortgage of
1878, then the law Of 1890 will be aban-
doned. II the price goes up beyond what
the Washington and Cumberland Company
would have to pay under that act, then the
attempt will probably be made to use it"
