their gigantic nature are the figures which
appear in the half yearly report OF the
bank of England, which has just been
issued by the directors of that institu.
ton. The profits Of the bank for the six
months in question has aggregated
$3,625,O00. Out of this half yearly
dividend of 5 per cent has been declared.
In connection with the liquidation of the
great Barring failure the report says that
the entire liabilities assumed by the bank
of England on that account were $751;
100000. Up to date assets have been
realized to total of $ll5, ,0o0, 900, leaving
an unsettled balance of $36, 900. Of
this immense total less than $500, 900 is
due the public, the remaining $35 500 900
being due to the bank of England. Against
this, however, they hold Argentine stocks
and bonds, hut whish are not at present
available. According to Hon. NJ. Lidder-
dale this single loan Of $35 500 900 is not
at all hampering to the finances OF this

the premises was made owing to the very I'M
comfortable day. After returning to the
house the meeting was organized by calling
Mr.. Granville S. Haines to the chair, the
president being absent Mr.. Granville 5.
Haines read from the report Of the Statisti-
clan ofthe Agricultural Bureau, for the month
of April, which stated that the wheat prospect
is not so good as one year ago. Mr.. Solomon
Shepherd read a letter from Seth Street, en-
couraging farmers to stick to their farms.
Mr.. G. S. Haines read piece entitled Ma
lures Friendliness, n very good selection.
The new road law for Carroll county was
then discussed at some length and in the
course of the discussion it was stated that the
County Commissioners have decided that the
law must be in operative for the present year
This view of ii seemed to impress the meet
ing as being erroneous, and would, if adhered
to, involve the county in litigation. Acting
upon this belief motion was made and car
ried to appoint committee of three to pre-
pare and report resolutions expressive of the
sense of the meeting. Thereupon the presi-
dent appointed Messrs. d. Wolfe, P. Wood
and S. Shepherd. After brief absence the
committee, through their chairman, reported
the following preamble and resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, The last Legislature of Maryland has
enacted new road law for the county of Carroll, to
be operative from the date of its passage and by the
same act have repealed all former laws conflicting
with its provisions; and
WHEREAS The County Commissioners of said
county have failed TO comply with its requirements
and put In operation the new law. thereby leaving
us in great doubt to whether or not we have got
any road law for Carroll county; therefore
Res0lU6d, That this Club suggest TO the said County
Commissioners the proprety of yet appointing the
Road Commissioners of said county that the new
law may go into operation at once.
ReS0lued, That copy of these resolutions be sent
to the County Commissioners.
The Club adjourned to meet at Mr.. r. Say
lor's, without fixing day and time, these be-
ing left to Mrs. Saylor's convenience.

Letter from Washington.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2s.-Since the
death of some Of your correspondents and the
removal of others, we seldom hear from the
west end of Freedom district through the
ADVOCATE. We are sorry to have to note this,
as the ADVOCATE enters numerous homes
outside the county and is read by many with
the interest it so well deserves. We hope
that some intelligent person will volunteer to
give to the readers Of the ADVOCATE the most
important news of the neighborhood, so that
those living at q distance can hear from our
old homes through this Interesting medium.
The ADVOCATE is the most newsy county paper
in Maryland, and publishes nothing but sound,
sensible facts, and nothing that our wives or
daughters cannot read without embarrass-
ment. For these and other reasons we feel
interested in its progress, and hope that that
interest may spread and its patronage increase.
There will be considerable building and
improving here this summer. Streets are
being graded and concerted; parks are being
cultivated and identified in every way posi-
bic. The ambition of the city authorities is
to make this one of the most beautiful cities
in the world, and we anticipate that time is
in the near future.
There is lull in politics at present. There
was quite a great deal of excitement about
the time of the New York convention, but it
has passed over and all is quiet now. We
think the majority of the people favor for the
nomination for President that great big
man Congressman 0'Ferrall spoke of recent
ly, Grover Cleveland. The name of Hon.
A. p. German is spoken of considerably of
late, as the next nominee. We are proud to
note that the little State of Maryland has such
a grand and noble name to place before the
conventions name that will be cheered
throughout the country if nominated, and a
thick and thin. The death blow to the Force
bill made the name Of A. p. German sound
as music to the southerners' ears, and not
only 10 the southerner is that name dear but
every Iover.of liberty, peace and prosperity.
The worst blizzard for years prevailed in
Manitnha on Thursday. and snow Is feet deem.

Arrest of Charles E. stOner.

Mr.. Charles E. Stoner, son of Mr. Ephraim
Stoner, near townsville, in Frederick county,
and a brother-in law of Mr.. Edward Reisler,
of Union Bridge, is under arrest at Birming'
ham, Alabama, upon the charge of embezzle-
ment. Mr.. Stoner went to Birmingham few
years ago, and rapidly rose in popular favor.
He was made Land Commissioner of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, position of
responsibility and in which, we believe, he
gave entire satisfaction. The dispatch an
nouncing his arrest said that he had been
gambling, and had lost Sc, 500 at one sitting.
The discovery of the shortage, said to be
$40, 600, was discovered while Mr.. Stoner was
visiting his parents at townsville, several
weeks ago. .,
The announcement of his arrest has shocked
his friends here He was a student at Yves
tern Maryland College for four years, and a
graduate and was exceedingly popular with
faculty and students, and with all the citizens
who knew him. He was regarded as an ex-
emplary young man, and his many friends are
panied at the misfortune that has overtaken
him, and hope some way out of the embar-
rassment may be found. He spent day
here few weeks ago, and spoke in high
praise of his Southern home and associations.

This was one of the first and Oldest bank
barns in Myers District. 1t twas built by Mr..

of timber and died soon after. Mr.. James E.
Dutierer, rs years old, told us on Thursday
