A CASE INTERESTING TO SHIPPERs.-A novel
and interesting case was tried before Justice
Proctor, on Saturday. John a. Fisher was the
plaintiff and the Maryland Central Railway
Company was the defendant.
1t appeared from the evidence that Mr.. Fish
er shipped quantity of cabbage over the rail-
road, last fall, which occupied about one-half
of freight car. The rest of the car was taken
up with other freight. When the goods arriv-
ed in Baltimore the officials there refused to re-
lease them unless Mr.. Fisher paid the full price
of car. This he did and brought suit against
the company for the alleged overcharge. JUS
tice Proctor rendered judgment against the
railroad for 1886, the amount proved to have
been received for the other freight: John A. w.
Richardson and VIM. Young appeared for Mr..
Fisher and 8. A. Williams for the company.

The front wheels were so fast. in the mud that
five horses with the aid of the blocks and tack lie

Company ID, jackson Guards

Company D, jackson Guards, of Bel Air, is
gaining increased strength by the re-enlistment
The original term expired on the 9th of March,
1901, and nearly all of the old members have be-
come SO thoroughly embued with the military
spirit that they have again Joined the command
for another term. Recruits are also coming in so
rapidly as to necessitate regular awkward
squad" drills every Monday night. No doubt
the encampment next summer is an incentive
to enlistment. These State encampments take
place every two years, and through their infu-
ence marked improvement is seen in our citi-
zen soldiery, especially in field man9uvres.-
Each individual soldier makes his best endea-
vors to excel the other members of the encamp-
ment, and it is gratifying to know that the repu-
tation of Company d, at Camp jackson, two
years ago, was one In which each member of the
command may we'll feel personal pride.
In addition to other advantages to be derived
the company has lately expended considerable
amount of money in first class gymnasium
This includes chest, rowing and wrist machines,
horizontal and parallel bars, boxing gloves,
dumb bells, Indian clubs and striking bag
room has also been fitted as reading room,
attached to which is shower bath room.

"A desperate mob of 500 Hungarian and

last week attacked the Norwood coke works,
near Mount Pleasant, Pa. The works were
protected by about IS men armed with Win
chesters. The rioters destroyed some valu-
able property on their way and when march
ing to attack the works were ordered to
halt. The order was received with jeers and
several vollies were fired into them, killing
about dozen men and wounding perhaps
forty others. The rioters then dispersed.
Governor Pattison Immediately dispatched a
regiment of soldiers to the spot. The loss of
human life, even when the sufferers are in the
wrong, is to be deprecated, but we must con-
fess that the large business corporations of
this country are not free from blame. They
import cheap foreign labor-grind their en-
ployes down in their wages to point so low
that they do not suffice for their support, and
when they break through all restraints the
only way left is to shoot them down. 1t is
the greed for large profits on invested capital
that is responsible for this incident at Mount
Pleasant.

Phineas T. Barnum, the great Snowman,
on Tuesday joined the "innumerable caravan
that moves to the pale realms of shade"-a
caravan mightier than any ever projected by
his most active and fertile mind.
1t is to his credit that although almost his
entire life had been given to attracting public
attention by means of DESTINATIONS display, be-
fore he died he expressed wish that his fu-
neral should be devoid of all ceremony be-
yond the simplest tributes of affection and re
spect.
Mr.. Barnum was in the 81st year of his
age. After Erief attendance in the common
schools of Bethel, Connecticut, where he was
born, he became clerk in country store.
In 1881, at the age of 81, he edited a news
paper. In 1886 he entered upon the show
business, and no man has ever done as much
for the entertainment of the public. He in
troduced the famous dwarf Tom Thumb to
public notoriety, and presented that diminu-
tive specimen of humanity to nearly all the
crowned heads of Europe. Our older read
ers will recollect the interest and curiosity
Mr.. Barnum also has the credit of having in
PRODUCED to the American public Jenny Lind,
the sweetest singer who eyer warbled note
in the ears of his countrymen. The excite
ment created by her unrivalled voice, to
which was added a character above reproacb,
has, perhaps, never been equalled by any
singer in this country. Mr.. Barnum's show
grew to such immense proportions that it
could no longer be economically transported
On wagons and his exhibitions, in later years,
have been confined to cities accessible by
railroad. For this purpose he had 100 cars
constructed, specially adapted for the pur-
pose, to carry his animals and paraphernalia
over the country.
In 1889, in midwinter, he took his show to
London and astonished the natives by his
Great American Circus. This trip cost over
$500, 900, while the receipts were 100000.
Mr.. Barnum also wrote several entertain
ing books and frequently appeared as pub
lie lecturer. In one of his talks on 1.-THE Art
of Money Getting" he gave a synopsis of the
principles which had guided him in business
and won for him his large fortune. He said:
"Don't drink, don't be above your business,
dent mistake your vocation, select the right
location, avoid debt, persevere, whatever you
do. do with all your might, depend upon your
own personal exertions, use the best tools,
don't scatter your powers, be systematic, read
the newspapers, beware of outside operations,
don'tindorse without good security, advertise
your business, be polite and kind to your
customers. be charitable, don't tell what you
are going to do and preserve your integrity"
