Attempt to Rob a Store-Deer Hunting in
the Neck.

MIcHAELsvILLR, Nov. 21.-An attempt to
rob the store of Michael & Malcolm, at Perry
man, was made on Friday night of last week.
Mr.. Buck PYLE clerk of the firm, returning
home at a late hour, discovered two men, one
upon the roof of the store porch and the other
on the ground. Mr.. Pyle gave no apparent
attention but walked stealthily by them to
Mr.. Michael's house and gave the alarm. Mr..
Michael and Mr.. Pyle watched the premises
for while and upon proceeding thither found
that the burglars had broken n window and
ably frightened away by the arrival Of Mr..
Pyle.
a deer, supposed to be the one which lately
escaped from Druid Hill Park, and which had
been seen in Long Green Valley, Baltimore
county. as related in last weeks 1Egis, has
made its appearance in the Neck. Last Fri
day night, while some white boys and a color
ed man, Aaron Smith, were out hunting with
Harry s. IIyde's and William T. Shay's beagle
dogs, the dogs struck the trail Of some swift
running animal. After following the trail for
some time the pursued animal broke from
cover and stopping was plainly seen by the
hunters They did not know what it was, but
| from their description and from the tracks it
made it was no doubt deer and most prob
| ably the one which escaped from the Park.
| William I. Shay, who has been in delicate
! health for some time, is quite sick.
| Tuesday Of last week was cold day and 6
foretaste of winter. Master Elliott Hollis,

proud of his success.

Tariff Revision the Work In Hand.


The great work, the great duty before Con-
gress is the revision of the tariff. This should
be initiated Immediately on the converting of
Congress and prosecuted without intermission
to completion. Democratic revision in ac-
cordance with Democratic promises should
be conducted steadily on the plan of the
greatest good to the greatest number. There
should be no undue consideration of sections
or communities, which is the Republican plan,
favoring of one class at the expense OF an
other, but a paramount purpose all the time
to hold in view the interests of the country as
whole. If the Democratic party is only to
retain its hold upon certain localities by buy
ing their favor with bounties, it had best let
them go. The selfish and importunate APP
peals made to the committee on ways and
means have increased, as could not otherwise
be the case, the difficulties and perplexities OF
the committees labors. Yet the committee
has tried to follow the path of duty and has
made strenuous efforts to bring its work to
such forward condition as to insure early pre-
sentation. 1t is not to be controverted it is
due to the public interests that what is pro-
posed to be done with the tariff be made
known as speedily rs possible. This Is fully
recognized, as is also the relief to be afforded
| by the contamination of its work by the
House. This is appreciated by the leading
men, and all their efforts will be directed to
that accomplishment. Of course the sprink-
| ling of populsts, cranks and silver fanatics III
the House will struggle hard to air their theo-
ries, and will doubtless play what part they can
| in the obstruction of practical business.

THE DEER CREEK FARMERS CLUB.



The proposed new road law prepared by the
MARYLAND Road League was discussed by the
Deer Creek Farmers Club, at meeting held
last Saturday, at the residence of Mr.. William
b. Hopkins, near Rock Run. The provision
for the appointment of State Engineer was
approved, but the salary proposed, S5,UO
wear, was considered too much. 1t was
thought that the amount should be LETT TO the
Legislature to determine.
The appointment by the County Commits
sioners of Board consisting of three persons,
to have general charge of the construction and
maintenance of highways and bridges, was re-
garded as unnecessary, the general supervisors
being already charged with this duty.
In other respects the proposed law was in
the main approved. The Importance of con-
slant supervision and repairs of roads under
competent authority, as provided for in the
bill, was heartily approved.
Mr.. d. c. Wharton Smith, President, pre-
sided, with Mr.. T. E. Swartz Secretary.

the host. were James W. Hanna, Robert F.
Hanna, John Moores, Edward p. Moores,

Robert F. Hanna, Edward 2. Moores and K.

Hanna, who said everything about Mr.. Hop
kins' premises are in good order and things
generally look well. The committee noticed
a pair of fine fat hogs, ready for the knife.
Mi Hopkins wheat is fiourishing. The criti-

Mr. Hopkins knew as well as anybody that
his barn needs thorough repair, but as this
would require good deal of money he would
advise him to postpone the work until he can
readily afford to do it. The wood house and
wood-pile are in front of the dwelling and
Mr. Hopkins was advised to remove them to
| a more convenient and less conspicuous place.

Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamber
lan's Pain Balm and bind it on over the seat
of pain. 1t is better than any plaster. When
the lungs are sore such an application on the
chest and another on the back, between the
shoulder blades will often prevent pneumonia.
There is nothing so good for lame back or a
