Almy has Been Caught.


Almy, the murderer of Christie War
den at Hanover, N. H., was finally cap
tured early on Thursday morning, in a
barn on the Warden premises, hiding in
the hay. Here he had been concealed
ever since the murder, living on what
ever fruit and vegetables he could steal
from the cellars in that vicinity. From
his hiding place he had witnessed the
funeral of his victim, and had managed
to sally out occasionally without being
detected. Suspicious were recently ex-
pressed to the effect that Almy might be
concealed in the barn, and on the morn
ing in question a posse of men began
search with pitchforks, and succeeded in
prodding the murderer into betraying his
whereabouts. Almy fired several shots
at the men, but without effect, and he
was finally overpowered and taken to
Jail. He narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of the people of that locality.
Almy seems to have outwitted the de-
tectives to a very large extent in thus re-
manning on the scene while they were
searching all over the land for him. He
declares that he did not mean to kill
Christie Warden, but that after the first
shot he became frenzied and finished his
fiendish work. He will doubtless get
his complete deserts now at the hands OF
outraged law.
The discovery of the murderer's hid
ing place was made by Mrs. Warden her
self during a search for some missing
chickens. She found jelly glasses, cans
and other things just under small
opening under the barn, which amused
her suspicious; she told others, who at
once began the search.

Hartford County.

Our bright and esteemed contemporary, the
Baltimore Morning Herald, has the following
appreciative article on Hartford county.
Every word it says is true to the letter.
A few moments study of the map will con-
vince any one that Hartford county is one OF
the natural garden spots of Maryland. On
the south roll the waves of the Chesapeake
on the east flows the Susquehanna, three
railway lines traverse the county, and it lacks
nothing in the way of natural advantages for
the residence of a large and wealthy rural
community.
From the low marshes bordering on the
Bay, the surface of the land rises in undulat-
ing hills to the Pennsylvania line. In climate,
soil and fertility Hartford county shares the
advantages of that portion of Maryland to
which it belongs. 1t is particularly suited to
agricultural pursuits, to country residences for
wealthy families and to manufacturing sites.
There is abundant water power along the
streams and Havre de Grace at least is admira-
ably situated for factory town. With the
advent of good roads 10 supplement the
transportation facilities of the railways, pop
ulation will inevitably be drawn to the fertile
farms of this section. Already they are pro-
ductiVe, the only drawback being the dis
lance to market over the crude thoroughfares
which now wind through the valleys and
across the Hartford hills.
Schools, churches and genial society are al
ready recognized facts. In truth, it is an old
community, simply awaiting the hand OF
wealth and enterprise to develop its latent re-
sources. To the young man seeking rural
home, to the small manufacturer fleeing from
the high rents of the city, to the farmer who
wants farm which will amply repay his in
vestment and his labor, no section of Mary
land offers greater inducements than Hartford
county.

The Maryland Editors Excursion to
EastOn and Ocean City.

The gentleman from Hartford who attend
ed the meeting of the Democratic Editors
Association at Esston, last week, returned
much pleased with their trip, and are warm
in their praises of the hospitality of the good
people of Easton, and Of the courtesies ex-
tended them by the officials OF the Baltimore
and Annapolis Short Line and the Baltimore
and Eastern Shore Railroads.
At Easton they stopped at the Hotel Avon,
. new and Hastily built structure, completed
last March at a cost of $4,000. This hotel
would be credit to any town. After bus
mess session they were taken through the
pretty town and the beautiful country sur.
rounding in carriages, and saw some fields OF
wheat that were extremely fine. In fact
they were of the impression that Hartford
must yield the palm. this year. to Talbot in
the production of this cereal. Mr.. Richard
T. Martin, well known in Bel Air, was found
at his post in the Clerks office, looking as
young and genial as ever, and We'd with the
local members OF the fraternity 10 enter tain
ing tie visitors. Altogether, as one of the
visitors expressed it, 1.-THE editors of Easton
'Haddaway' of making one feel Wright and
although the town Is dry there was no lack
of To-day"
On Wednesday the party were rendered an
excursion to Ocean City where they were
banquetted by the Synepuxent Beach I'm
provement Company. The speeches in reply
to the ,oasts were limited ON account of time,
but Mr.. Willard G. Rouse, of Bel Air. found
time to respond very gracefully to "The
Ladies'" Good speeches were also made by
Hon. J. Frank Turner, Col. Oswald Tighl'
man, Mr.. VIM. Goldsborough, Mr.. T. J. @.
Williams and Col. Scott Roberts. Mr.. j. NJ.
Street,, of the Hartford Democrat, presided in
his usual graceful manner at both the bus-
ness meeting and the banquet.
Most of the members of the Association left
on the 4.40 train, Immediately after the BAN
quet, but some, the Hartford members includ-
ed, were tempted by the pleasures of the surf
and the Inequalities of the atlantic" to re-
main until the latter part of the week.
Ocean City, now that the Baltimore and
Eastern Shore Railroad is completed, making
it one hundred miles nearer Baltimore and
Washington, must step to the front rank as q
summer resort, and should be patronized by
Marylanders. The beach can not be surpass-
ed and the hotels set a table such as is only
to be found in our native State.
The B. & E. s. Railroad runs mainly
through pleasing and fertile country, and
the fields and peach orchards of the Eastern
Shore sustain the traveller en- route with the
promise of plenty, which is fulfilled when he
arrives at the beach.

The nomination of Mckinley, the ieput-
ed author of the present high tariff, law as the
Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio,
and the unequivocal expression of Republi-
can State conventions in favor of the oppres-
sive tariff, will leave the Democrats no alter
native but the nomination of Cleveland as
their candidate. In spite OF his letter against
free coinage he is, as he has been for years
past, the most popular and trusted Democrat
In the country. Democrats may differ upon
financial questions but the party is solid
against the robber tariff. Cleveland is the
ablest and brightest exponent of Democratic
sentiment on this question and the logic of
the situation demands his nomination and no
other,

SUDDEN DEATH OF JAMES CoCHRAN.-Mr.
James Cochran, a well-known citizen of Abing-
don, died suddenly, on his farm near that place,
on Monday morning, July 9Th. He was appal-
emily we'll and in good spirits at breakfast
Afterwards he went out into field with pair
Of horses and began TO harrow buckwheat. The
horses were keen and eager to work and it is
supposed Mr.. Cochran over-exerted himself
Telling his brother, William Cochran, who was
at work near BY, that he was sick he walked to
the side of the field and laid down in the shade.
His brother, thinking Mr.. Cochran's indisposi-
tion was merely temporary, went on with his
work. Mr.. and Mrs. Younger, who were neigh.
bors, were in an adjoining field, and went up to
where Mr.. Cochran lay. A few minutes after
wards he asked them TO call his brother. Before
the latter could get to him LIE passed away.
Mr.. Cochran was 72 years of age and unmar-
ried. He leaves two brothers-William Coch-
ran, OF Abingdon, and T. l.. Cochran, of the
Mountain. One sister, Miss Eliza Cochran, sur.
wives him. Mr.. Cochran was an ardent Demo.
crat and took an active Interest in politics. He
was once tax collector for Abingdon district,
and although often solicited. was never a can
didate for Office. He was an amiable, warm
hearted man and leaves many friends to mourn
his sudden death.
Services were conducted at house, Wednes-
day morning. by Rev. Mr.. Ssnner,' after which
the remains were borne to their last resting
place in Abingdon cemetery BY Messrs. John
T. Wilson, Thos. H. McGsw, James B. Preston,
