penditure OF POSSIBLY a~,UUUs
Contractor Patrick Malloy has built
three new houses on a section of the
Courtney property, near the southeast
corner of Sixteenth and Market streets.
The old lines of the street at this point are
coterminous with the course of the race,
which at this point veers north little.
This fact throws the curb lines of the
houses built or to be built at the point re.

this was foreseen some time ago by the
street engineers and the department tried
to buy the angle from the property own

The department proposes remedying the
matter by continuing for a few feet the
Market street arching over the race. This
will not Interfere with or cause an over

EASTERN SHORE NEWS.
Threatened with Hay Famine by Reason
of n Clnver Swindlc.

of u Glover Swindlc.
CnEsTERTowN, MD, Sept. 21.-A
large number of farmers in Kent aud
Cecil counties are now confronted by a
serious, if only partial, famine in hay.
This condition is attributed to a swindle.
1t is said that large quantities Of what
is known as Giant clover were palmed
off on the dealers in cloverseed as rcd
clover. The seed Of the two varieties
look so much alike that it is impossible
for the average farmer to detect the diff
ference.
This Giant clover is of tremendous
growth and seeds with its first crop and
that is the end of it, If the first crop is
cut early, before the seeds form, the
roots send up feeble aftergrowth,
which forms no head. II not cut till its
heads mature the stubble is dead.
The scarcity of pasture, the outgrowth
of seeding the Giant clover, falls heavily
upon the many farmers who supply the
numerous diaries in the counties. A
prominent farmer said to-day that the
clover is almost valuless in dairying
communities and that he had been badly
caught by the swindlo.
A writer from Cecil county to the
Country Gentleman says that for several
years the cloverseed brought N the
general trade was mixed with Giant
clover, but the proportion has SO in
creased this year that the pasture is 6
disappointment.
George Maslin has purchased the prop
erty near Millington, offered at trustees
sale by Hope II. Barroll.

ST. LOUIS ROAD CASE.
Seibert's Historical Suit Comes
lin i'm New Form-COurt Briefs.

Seibert's Historical Suit Comes
Up in New Form-Court Briefs.
The Sebert-St. Louis case came up in
new form before Judge Lochren yes
terday, S41.496 being ordered paid GER
tain first mortgage holders from the IA
cific extension funds. Immediately fol-
lowing this, Judge Shaw, for the Sell
bert people, presented a petition for
the payment of $50, 603.20 on a coupon,
and interest from the same extension.
Ali who have watched the case will re-
member that these very payments were
what Judge Shaw has heretofore battled
against, and what the supreme
court has ordered paid. The petit
ton was brought as move
against the defense in the main case,
in line with the supreme court decision.
Attorney Richardson held that the $780,
6O3.2O coupon and interest could not be
paid for legal reasons, and also because
there was but $103, 1888 to the credit of
the Pacific extension division i'll the
hands Of the receiver. Judge Shaw
really didn't see how the court could
reserve its own decision, especially
when that decision had been upheld by
the supreme court. A. II. Clark stated
that the next report OF the receiver
would show the Pacific extension to be
doing an immense business and to have
over 100000 to its credit. Judge Loeb
rem took the matter under adyisement,
and will probably reserve his decision
until the receiver makes his next re
port.
Grace l.. Burr has sued for divorce
from her husband, Frank I. Burr.
Grace says that she married Frank in

time she lived with him he was guilty
of cruel and inhuman treatment, that
he failed to provide for her the necess
tiles of life, and, finally, that in 1888
he deserted her and has lived apart
from her ever since.
Judge Hicks ordered temporary ali
mony for the defendant, amounting to
$40 per month, in the case of John P.

wheat later justified his belief, he says.
Mr.. Piiisbury says that any one saying
he assisted in circulating the document
tor the purpose of putting up the price
OF wheat and then sold ont the wheat
under his control, deliberately misrep-
resents the facts or is ignorant of them.
He continues:

wheat in Minneapolis never sold below
ninety-four cents, while in Chicago 1t
sold as low as eighty-fve. | challenge
any man to show that | was ever at

depreSS the price Of wheat in the large
grain markets of the world. 1t it has
come to this, that it is proper and right
for the snort seller TO cheaper the price
of wheat by every means in his power,
but that man who says or does any
thing to checkmate their schemes or to
advance prices is to BIZ personally de-
nounced and abused, it is about time
that the strong arm of the law should

A DOCTORS EVIDENCE.
The Rationale of the Cure of
Chronic Catarrh.


The order in which the symptoms Of
chronic catarrh occur are nearly always
as follows: A cold, which hangs on
longer than usual; SenSitiveneSS of
the air passages by which one catches
cold easily; continual settled cold in
head, throat or chest; discharges grow
ing thicker and more offensive; loss of
flesh, dependency, loss of appetite,
headache OF cough, and general laSSi-
tude. Now this is about the order in
which symptoms of chronic catarrh
make their appearance. and if the suf
ferer is fortunate enough to find a cure
the symptoms wilt begin TO disappear in
exactly the reverse order. There may
be at first no perceptble improvement
III the earliest symptoms, while the lat
ter symptoms show prompt improve
ment.
This is exactly what Pe-ru-na will do
in the cure of chronic catarrh: 1t first
invigorates the system, increases the
appetite, then the patient begins 10 gain
flesh, hope takes the place of despond-
ency. and all the miscellaneous symptoms
which the chronic catarrh has produced
will disappear one by one in the reverse
order of their. appearance. The last
symptoms to yield are often the ones
which the patients expect to disappear
first, but all should remember that the
first symptoms to appear will be the
last to disappear. while the last
ones to appear are usually the
first ones to disappear Cures made in
this way are permanent cures. A pa
tient cured by Perfume is no more liza
bic to catarrh than as if he bad never
had it,
A complete treatise on chronic ca
tarrh in all its stages and complications
will be sent free, on application. by

eyesight rendered her social duties try
ing. in that it was difficult for her to
rec0gnizeseven intimate friends. and a
brilliant light soon wearied her. She
was surrounded by young people--her
daughter Nellie, afterwards Mrs. Sar-
torS, and her sons, who after a time
brought brilliant young brides to add
10 the gayetieS of the White house. Dur
ing the eight years of Mrs. Grants con-
troll the executive mansion was the
scene OF many festivities, though never
so charmlngly gay as under Miss Lanes
care.
Lucy Webb Hayes impressed her per
sonality, her views and her individuality
more deeply upon the people Of this
country than did any of her predeces-
sOrs. \ woman of fine presence. with
a handsome, intelligent face. wonderful
charm of manner and exquisite tact,
she made the executive mansion during
her residence in it hoSpitable home to
her friends and a place of kindly well
come to the nation. AS temperance
woman she was faithful to her princi-
pies, and resolutely refused to allow
wine to be served at her table, the only
exceptions being when foreign princes
or other persons of rank were to be en-
tertained, and it was represented to her
that wine was an absolutely essential
part of the feast. Still she stood loftily
true to her convictions, and, without
ostentation, avowed them firmly when
there was any reason for so doing.
Lucretia Rudolph Garfield, always a
woman of most domestic tastes, entered
the White house only to find it a place
of suffering, of anxiety, aid at last Of
death, and after the tragic end came
and the husband of her youth was bur-
led in his prime, she returned to the re-
tirement of her home at Mentor, where
she has since resided.
Chester A. Arthur was WidoWer
when he took up his residence in the
black-draped executive mansion. For
some months mourning for the late
president was observed, and then MI.
Arthur invited his sister, Mary Arthur
McElroy, to assist him in doing the
honOrs OF his official home. She was a
pretty, attractive society woman, and
held the place gracefully, introducing
the custom of afternoon teas, and often
succeeding in making even the stately
social functions cosy and homelike.
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland did the
hOnors for her brother duliDg the first
months of his occupancy of the White
house. and then the place of the mature
and scholarly woman was taken by the
dainty and graceful bride, Frances Fol
som Cleveland, who with motherhood
added TO her crown of joys, is so soon to
be once more the first lady in the land.
Laura Scott Harrison, the gracious
lady who has so recently passed away,
made kindly and attractive hostess,
although always loving domesticity bet
ter than public life.

Mai. Bassett's Reply.

! Some time ago Maj. Joel B. Bassett
received communication from the
commissioner of navigation at Wash
iington, D. c., relative to 1.-THE decadence
and restoration of our merchant mar
ine." Mr.. Bassett has sent to the COM
reply, in which he strikes
straight from the shoulder. Maj. Bas-
sett asserts that the decadence began
when the war prices prevailed. The
decadence has been promoted by the
maintenance, through government tax
alton, of war prices on all materials ell
tering into the construction OF ships.
This taxation was abolished years ago
by competing countries. He would abol-
ish all such taxation, and all incident
taxes, save. perhaps, a small tax on the
net income of merchant vessels.
