ance in New York. For week or ten
days every one seemed to have the

and IS two deaths have been reported

is apprehension that We are to have
another siege. A good many persons
win hear this news with anxiety, since
physicians say that there have come
under their observation many cases Of
permanent aiiment left by the epidem-

In all probability the first change IN
q postoffice in the country that wasin
any way caused by the election Of Mr..
Cleveland has been made in the post
Office at Keyser. The particulars are
as follows
Four years ago, under the admins
tration Of Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Sim
mons, the father Of q charming young
lady, had the postofiice at Keyser.
The young lady's name was Fanny
and she soon familiarized herself with
the duties Of . postofiice clerk, and
when Mr.. Harrison was elected foui
years ago and her father was removed,
she had become 90 familiar with her
duties that the newly appointed post,
master employed her as his clerk.
Last Tuesday morning when Mr..
John Miller, the present postmaster,
who was appointed by Mr.. Harrison.
found that Mr.. Harrison was defeated,
he allowed his peak to get the better
Of him, knowing that as a postmaster
his days were numbered, and when
Miss Fanny reported for her days
work he CURLY told her that she was
discharged. Miss Simmons removal
has caused great indignation among
her friends, both Republicans and

Trading in Baltimore and Ohio stock
was active in New York during the
week at advancing prices. The price
started at 95s and advanced to 97s 4
when it fell back one-half point at the
close. The sales were G,20O shares,
which is looked upon as large deal
ing. The sharp rise of more than two
points occasioned speculation among
Baltimore fnanciers, and the cause Of
it was eagerly discussed.
Some Of the isnancers believed the
rise due to the frequent reports that
have been circulated Of a possible con-
solidation Of the Baltimore and Ohio

the rounds Of the press for some days.
Officials Of the, company denied the
