The Canal viii Be Restored.

The Canal viii Be Restored.
In the Circuit Court at Hagerstown
last Friday the trustees OF the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal bond-holders OF
1874, Bradley S. Johnson, Joseph Bry-
an, Henry H. Keedy, Hugh l.. Bond,
Jr., and John X. Cowen, filed their
bond in penalty of 100000, with Miss
Mary f. Garrett and John B. Melon
aid as sureties. They paid into court
in cash 10,O00for costs, and produced
$500, 900 OF the bonds of 1878 and
S247, 500 in legal tender currency to
pay for the rest OF the bonds in 1878.
The trustees having thus compiled
with the decree Of the court, the clerk
issued his certificate to them to that
effect, which, under the decree, en-
titles them to possession OF the canal
property
Judge Alvey then signed an order
declaring that the trustees had hled
their bonds in the penalty OF 5000, 900,
which was approved by the court,
and had produced certified copy OF
the auxiliary decree of the Supreme
Court OF the District of Columbia,
promising that the trustees should
take possession Of the District por-
ton of the canal, and had complied
with all the requirements Of the de-
cree of October 2, 1890. He therefore
ordered Robert Bridges, Richard d.
johnson and Joseph ID. Baker forth
with to deliver possession OF the ca
nal and all its property held by them
as receivers to the trustees Of the
bonds of 1874.
Last Monday the trustees turned
Sover 100000 to a.bank in Baltimore,
which will be used to pay of the 1878
bonds in full with accrued inter est
The trustees have appointed Mr.
Bradley S. johnson to have charge Of
the Hagerstown office; Mr.. H. G. Win
ship, OF Georgetown, to be general
superintendent, and Mayor Fl. D..
Whitcomb, Of Richmond, Va, to be
chief engineer. The canal will be re-
paired along its whole length by May
LIST. The division from Cumberland
to Williamsport will first receive at
tention, and it is hoped to have it in
operation at an early day.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
furnished the money necessary for
operation, will repair the canal and
will operate it when repaired. This
arrangement insures the success OF
the undertaking The Baltimore y
Ohio has the power to furnish the
freight to repay the large sum that
will be expended for repairs; to pay
off the bonds Of 1878, and to pay in
terest on the bonds Of 1874. 1t will be
obliged to do this, because If after a
trial the work does not earn net rev.
enue towards paying its debts, the
court will order-it to be sold, and 1t
will cost the Baltimore & Ohio much
more to purchase the property at Il
public sale than to operate it so as to
pay its debts.
The trade on the canal will gain
from year to year 1t will be used by
the b. & o. as a doubletracked coal
carrier and relieve its tracks from
wear and tear and leave them open
for general traffic. The prospects Of
the canal have never been as bright
as at present, nor has its fuVure pros
perity been so we'll assured.

On the 22nd OF November. 1890 rs the sun
was at high noon, death entered the beauti-
full home OF our friend, Mr.. Washington
Rohrer, living near Sharpsourg, Md, ana
took therefrom his beloved wife, ELIZABETH,
in the 5ith year OF her age. she leaves grlef
stricken husband and seven children 10
mourn her departure. Ihe deceased was n
great sufferer tor many months, and the com
pli,ation OF her diseases baffled medical skill =,
and terminated in dropsy OF the near by
the death OF this highly esteemed lady. For
her amiabillty, she was Kind 10 all, ana being
go affectiOnate, she became the IDOL OF her ac-
ouaintances in the community Of which she
was a lifelong resident. Truly that commu-
nifty has lost one of its brightest ornaments.
She was the example of bright ana happy
Christian living as If continually under the
smiles OF her Heavenly Father. Death,
though sudden. did not find her unprepared,
and she passed from the sleep OF earth INTO
the sweet sleep in Jesus and her soul having
left the home OF earth has entered the man
sions OF heaven She was a faithful member
OF the Lutheran Church OF Locust Grove
from her youth, and has now gone 10 JOIN the
church above. May the God OF all consOla-
ton sustain the sOrroWlng family ana
friends, and sanctify their sorrow TO their
eternal good. Death came 10 her gently, ana
as softly weary winds expire. she entereu
the waiting chariot. May the family be
found undivided when tho gates OF pearl en-
close heavens full numbers.
Let me go. my heart has tasted
Ofmy Saviour's wondrous grace;
Let me 60 where shall ever
See and know Him face to face.
Let me go, the trees OF Heaven
Rise before me, waving bright,
And the distant crystal waters
Flash upon my failing sight.
Let me go, for songs seraphic
Now seem calling from the sky
"Tis the welcome OF the angels.
Which cen now are lowering nigh.
Fair distant land could now your eyes
But half its charms explore,
Then would your spirit long TO rise,
And dwell on earth no more.

The Steer Tying Contest.

The steer roping and tying contest here on Saturday las, between Ed. Ore :, and Charley Gardner, resulted in rlc- tory fos the latter, to the surprise ,f most of those who witnessed the affair. as it was generally believed that Ores would be the winner. The steers used were mostly twos. and not very large or rollickv. Each contestant tied four steers, and following is the score:
 Gardner -1Gssi; I:l2i4; &: 3 3l-S:26.
 Drew -106l4; :i0l4: l.ol; 50 3:39Is
 This is remarkably good time. and we doubt if 1t has ever been beaten in a con test. 1t will be seen that Gardner tied his four steers in 3 minutes and 2c seconds, while Drews time was only ll15 seconds more. The stakes put up were Sl0J a side; and S4O was subscribed to the loser by illcox people. Wolf Sachse. w. A. Fiege and E. Marion were judges of the contest; starters, Charles Graves, Jess Henley and Charley Busen- bark; tune keepers, J. c. Jcnes and c. \. Overlook; fiagmen, J. B. Parks and w. $. Davis. Everything passed off smoothly, there being no disputes. Not much lucre changed hands on the re- suit, as nearly every one who desired to bet was Drew n."-Stoekman.

HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Mexican Stays His Wife and
 Daughter in Cold Blood,

One of the most atrocious murders ever committed in Arizona, occurred at MOrenci, Gila County, on the l4th inst. Antonio Granada, living at Morenci, had daughter, from whom he had been sep erated for over five years. The family had been lving together just four days, when Granada called on Deputy Sheriff J. R. Smith, and informed him that he had slot of fresh meat" over at his house, which he wished Smith to take care of. The deputy could not quite un- derstand the meaning of this statement, at first, but proceeded with Granada to his home and found tee wife and daughter lyIng on the ground, mutllat- ed, ind covered with dirt and blood. Smith asked Granada why he had com mitteG the deed, and he answered,
 "BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE"
 This was the only reason obtainable from the murderer. The enraged citl- zens of Mcrenci, however, had mean while heard of the tragedy, and assemb- led for the purpose of lynching Grana- do. Deputy Smith hurried his prisoner away, and succeeded in safely putting him behind the Clifton jail bars. He would have certainly been lynched had the Morencl people had an opportunity to do so. Being further questioned by Deputy Solomon as to his motive in xii. ling his family, Granada stated that he hyd committed the deed in accordance with his inscribed duties of family life. '' There is little doubt that the murderer is insane. His cool, unconcerned de- meanor, when questioned about the hor- rible affair, would indicate that he does not realize the arrocity of the crime he has committed. He is either insane. or one of the most hardened human brutes living.
