A Little Railroad News.

n LUIIc nuHOuU "C"S'
The gratifying news comes to us
that the par.y OF surveyors under
Col. Watts has started in again at
Harper's Ferry on the survey of the
proposed new line of the Baltimore
g. Ohio Railroad from Harper's Ferry
to Cherry Run by way of Shepherds
town. This route was surveyed Tor
the first time couple OF months ago,
following the river all the way. Now,
we understand, the engineers are
again going over the route with a
view to making short cuts across the
river necks where the same can be
done to advantage, and strengthening
and improving the former line as far
as practicable. We hope to be able to
give further news on this subject IN
the near future.
The Potomac Valley Railroad, the
new link just built by the Western
MARYLAND Railroad from its terminus
at Williamsport to connection with
the b. & o. at Cherry Ran. will be
opened fully for traffic next Monday,
when the running of passenger trains
will be begun.

Bird jackson ON q Rampage.

Last Saturday Bird jackson, a
young colored man Of this place,
went to Sharpsburg and got extreme
" runk off Of the choice brands Of
whiskey sold in that town. He re-
turned home and carried on so
violently that his father made stern
efforts to repress him. Then Bird
pulled out the every-ready razor and
two revolvers and threatened 70 kill
the whole family. In order to pre-
vent a massacre Town Sergeant
Johnson was sent for and he carried
Mr.. jackson to the little brown jug,
where the great annihilator languish-
ed until the effects OF the liquor left
him in a better humor. Then the
town authorities took him out and
fined him ten dollars and costs and
let him 20.

ance The ''Passion Play is to be but
an incident of the gathering and not Its
main feature.
The London Telegragh's description
of that type of the influenza which has
become epidemic in some of the cities OF
Eastern Russia, including ST. Petersburg,
and which has recently spread from Rus
STA into Austria, shows that tits far
more distressing and dangerous than the
the grippe which exists in some parts OF
the United States. Its victims are liable
to paroxysms of madness, under the IN
fluenece of which they perDetrate DEEDS
that terrorize the populace.
The purchase of Alaska has already
proved to be q pretty good speculation,
goods being exported from that country
last year to the value of over 100000
in excess of the price paid to Russia for
the Territory, and the resources OF the
country seem to be far from fully known
yet Capt. De Haas, who has just re-
turned to Tacoma from a two years min
ing tour in Alaska, says that very
profitable business in canning wild geese
and ducks could be established and car
ried on at the mouth of the Yukon River.
These birds, he says, gather there in i'm
mense numbers in the spring.
Professor Swing of Chicago, in his SER
mon last Sunday, made an earnest plea
for the dumb beasts. In the coarse of
his remarks he said: "Our millionaires,
who in making their wills are puzzled as
to what library they shall endow to per-
petuate their name, should endow the
Humane Society instead They would
build for themselves monument which
would reach higher into the sky than the
highest of our church steeples. The HUI
name Society, now composed of q few
select members and limited capital for
it's great work, should have millions of
dollars for it's capital stock and more
than half the population Of the city,
men, women and children-as it's cham
pions.
In the death of General Montgomery G.
Meigs, remarks the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, ''this country loses another of the
heroes. Asa quartermaster general of
the armies of the United States during
the civil war, he directed the accumula-
ton and distribution of supplies and
equipment for the forces in the field, and
earned the highest encomiums bestowed
by our military authorities, by Congress
and by foreign critics for the marvellous
efficiency with which these monumental
labors were accomplished. In the prose-
cution of these tasks General Meigs
handled appropriations aggregating near
ly two thousand millions of dollars, and
not one dollar thereof was ever diverted
in his hands from the straight channels
of economical and effective public SER
vice."

ffcation Of the virtues Of the Hon. Darius
n. Ingraham, whilom candidate of the
Democracy for Mayor of Portland, and
who evidently wants to be q candidate
again. In the carefully prepared report
of the affair in the Argus illusions to the
distinguished Democrat who throttled
the notification scheme of another dis
tinguished Democrat are few and far
between. while illusions to the Hon.
Darius H. Ingraham are constant and
pointed. Councillor MCGOWAN appears
to have been the only speaker who
really thought the purpose of the meet
Orleans; and with that idea in mind he
indulgedin a history of Jackson, but the
rest were ION to the racket" and wasted
very little breath in eulogy of the dead.
Mr.. Ingraham opened the ball himself,
with statement Of the issues ON which
the next, municipal election should be
fought. They are, in his opinion, the
hypocrisy of the Republicans, frauds in
the voting list, and intimidation and
bribery, but for which Mr.. In
graham apparently thinks he would
have been elected last spring. Mr..
Ingrahan's modesty prevented him
from suggesting himself as, the most
suitable Democrat for leading the brihed
and intimidated brethren, but this
omission was promptly supplied by that
well known Jacksonian Democrat the
Hon. M. P. Frank, who spoke, says the
Argus, enthusiastically of MI. lngraham's
fitness to lead the Democrats in the COM
ing municipal campaign. Mr.. Frank APP
pears to have warmed up considerably
since the chilly September of 1890 and evil
IDENTIFY no longer believes in still hunts.
The Hon. Samuel J. Anderson was also
greatly impressed with the fitness of
Mr.. Ingraham of whom, says the special
reporter, he spoke in glowing terms"
urging the Democrats to support him
loyalty. Gen. Anderson is said to have
closed with an eloquent eulogy of jack
son, which, however. was not deemed
worthy of anything more than the brief
est kind of description in the columns
of our esteemed contemporary. The
Hon. Darius Fl. Ingraham would now APP
pear to be fairly launched again on the
sea of municipal politics. The business
he has laid out for himself is to expose
Republican hypocrisy and fraud, and to
prevent Democrats from selling out. For
the successful achievement Of the latter
all his Jacksonian qualities may be
needed. As to the former inasmuch as
his Democratic brethren are always
ready to believe such allegations without
a particle of proof all that will be neces-
sary will be a loud and continuous shout
ing of corruption.

Judge Holman finds the task of cut
ting down the appropriations altogether
more difficult one than anticipated. He
had doomed the river and harbor bill to
destruction and had given out that no
such bill would be passed at this session.
Immediately there was an instruction
on the part of Democratic congress
men who rely upon the appropriations
that they are able to capture un-
der this bill to make them solid
with their constituents and Judge
Holman was obliged to modi-
fly his programme. He now only goes to
the extent of declaring that the river and
harbor bill will be very economical
measure. But the Judge will find it,
more difficult to make it an economical
measure than to kill it entirely, because
that involves determinations against sec
tons and congressman which will raise
the biggest kind of row.
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-11

Mr.. Springer's confident assertion in
his New York speech that the House
would pass no free coinage bill at the
present session is doubtless based upon
the expectation that the movement for
an international conference at Chicago
looking to an agreement for the res
toration of silver by all the prominent
commercial nations may persuade good
many of the moderate free silver men to
keep the matter in allegiance until the
conference is held. We imagine that
very few Of the promoters of this enter
prise expect it to rehabilitate silver, or
to accomplish any more in that direction
than former conferences of the same
sort. We have recently had some agents
abroad sounding European nations in re-
gard to silver. but nothing has come from
them at all encouraging. The only thing
really expected from the Chicago confer
ence is that it may serve to keep the sill
yer question out of the Presidential cleo
ton. That is the reason and the sole
reason for it's suggestion.

THE PRESS.
MONDAY, JANUARY IL.

Itneeds no very acute observer to dis
cover at whom ex-President Cleveland
aimed this arrow in his speech at the
jackson Day celebration in New York:
If we suspect anywhere in our counsels COM
promising hesitation or y disposition to divert
the unity OF party efforts, let us be watahful.
The least retreat BODIES disaster; cowardice Is
often called conservatism, and an army scat
tered into sections invites defeat
The Hon. David Bennett Hill will no
doubt discover at a glance that the coun-
sellor who is accused of compromising
hesitationis himself, and that the COM
promising hesitation alluded to is his re-
cent advice to the Democrats to do moth
ing but pass bills through the House
repeating tho Mckinley law and the
existing silver statute.
The Portland daily press., 1892-01-11

The unconcealed sympathy of the PRESS
with the supporters of Mr.. Cleveland and its ar
dent desire that he shall be the nominee of the
Democratic party are very impressive, but the
lesson to be drawn from its attitude on this sub
iect is one which is deserving of the same con-
sideFation on the part of the Democrats as it
vitation of the spider to disport itself in its com
Portable parlor for awhile. The invitation is too
pressing to be entirely Observation-Disclosures
Commercial.
We beg to assure our esteemed contem-
porary that the PRESS has no very ardent
desire in the MISTER of q Democratic
nomination whether it shall fall to
Cleveland or to Hill. AS to the relative
strength OF these two gentlemen we are
by no means certain. Hill probably
would be stronger with certain elements
of Democracy-Tammany Hall for in
stance-but Cleveland would draw more
OF the so-called independent vote. Our
comment, which the Bangor Commercial
criticises, was directed entirely to the
character of the campaign which these
two gentlemen would inspire, and our
conclusion was that with Cleveland as
the candidate the campaign would be
likely to be one of issues, while with Hill
it would be simply fight for spoils SO
far at least as the Democratic side of it is
concerned. 1t may be true that the Dem
ocratic party will enter fight of the lat
ter kind more enthusiastically than one
of the former, but if it is true the fact
is by no means to its credit.

that of a flower at all, but that it is a

Picked OYSTERS.
Drain the oysters from their liquor
and wash them. Strain the liquor and
put it over the fire in 10 saucepan. When
it is hot, put in the oysters and leave
them five Or six minutes. stirring them
once or twice. Pour them into a colan-
der and let them drain while you heat
to boiling enough vinegar to cover them,
seasoned with salt, pepper and spice to
suit your TASTE Put the oysters into q
iar, pour the vinegar over them and
cover tightly. They will be ready for
the table, as soon as cold, but If kept IN
a cool place will keep good for two or
three days, and arc very nice for iunohe on
or tea.
FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
Wells of the finest cobweb crepe, in the
various shades, are much more becom-
ing than those of not OF tulle, and also
much more serviceable than those Of il
lusion. These wells may be carefully
washed in light suds made Of clean water
and CASTLE soap;if the goods are patted
and gently squeezed instead of rubbed,
and afterwards rinsed in clear cold
water containing few drops OF white
mucilage (the dark might discolor it),
which will restore to the fabric much of
it's original body and freshness, after
which the veil should be pinned down
carefully, as is the custom with lace cur
tains, and left to dry.
Ribbonruches may be washed by mere
~ dipping them in ammonia and water,
not squeezing OF wringing, which will
wrinkle the ribbon, but patting and
Ripping until all soil is removed and
then rinsing in clear water and drying.
