SToCKs. The declaration to-day of the
regular quarterly dividends of ~ per
cent. in Chicago Gas and Ia per cent in
New Jersey Central, while not entirely
unexpected, were factors for strength in
these stocks individually, and helped y
strengthen the general market. A sharp
covering demand in Chicago Gas, sent
that stock up 2 per cent, to 13,
and 81 per cent. on heavy buying,
induced by the announcement that the
regular dividend had been declared. When
the demand for the shares ceased there was
a reaction of per cent. Towards 2 o'clock
the trading assumed a strong tone. New

but subsequently reacting per cent, rally

New Heading.

THIS week, the "FREDERICK CITI-
zEN' becomes simply "THE CITIZEN"
as will be noticed in the new heading,
designed especially for US. This
change has been contemplated for some
time, but it is never too late to make
an improvement. The letters are neat
and have "a peculiar distinctness,
which will, we hope, remain with the
newspaper whose heading they form.
The words "THE CITIZEN" are more
in keeping with the modern form of
newspaper headings, which does away
as much as possible, with the old-time
Roman text and centre embellish-
ments, and affects neatness and sim
plicity. We hope our readers will be
pleased with the new heading for the
CITIZEN, and cooperate from time to
time with Us in other new departures
which we have in mind.

A RIOTOUS PARTY.
Filled with Liquor, They Smash
Things GeneraIlv

Kingston. N. Y. Feb. 27-Ea~ly yes
terday morning Andrew Ostrich, an
Austrian, who keeps a store at Rosen-
dale, near this city, wished TO close
his shop and retire for the night. There
was a crowd of six men in the store
at the time. all of whom were under
the influence of liquor and very noisy.
When Ostrich ordered the men to leave
they became very angry and smashed
things generally. The proprietor or
dered them to desist and upon their
refusal he procured his revolver ana
fired seven times into the crowd.
Wright Wood was shot in the left side
ana VIII die; Mathew Burns was shot
in the leg and bullet pas -ed through
The coat sleeve of another memhe?
Of the riotous party. Immediately after
Tho shooting CS1irh surrendered him
self 70 the viia@- authorities and was
locked UP in The county jail.

The Ready SANDER Of High OH
cialS.

The readiness with which many well
known journals Of the country seek to
have the people believe that President
Cleveland was actuated by mercenary
motives in giving out the bond con-
tracts t. Morgan Il Co., is one of the
greatest outrages of the present day.
Month after month and time after
time, the President called upon Con-
greS~ to relieve the present financial
distress raging throughout the entire
country. No heed was paid to his
warning, or his request for some action
to Ice taken. Recognizing the power
vested in him, he was bold enough to
take decided steps himself and thus re-
love the country Of temporary trouble.
Mr.. Howard, who has recently sprung
into notoricty 10y the publication of Il
work on official life and general cor
ruption in Washington, has been elect
ed a. Il member of Congress from Ala
bana, on the Populist ticket. This
bold young advocate of anarchy and
Populistic ideas, dares to assert that
the President has realized four millions
of dollars ont of certain public act, and
will Introduce Il bill to order an inves-
LEGATION. such clap-trap, such readi-
ness to SANDER public officials should
he ended in some way. The tendency
Of the times Is to believe that all public
men are rascal> and that patriotism is
unknown. just a. soon rs public
man takes the liberty to differ with
the views entertained by others, just 50
soon are there men and journals found
ready 10 accuse him of corruption and
dishonest motives. The President
prominent Senators, Representatives
and others high in authority. have
been the target of this set of slanderers
for wears.

WE find in this community, class of
people, who are ever ready to start and
circulate slanderous reports about this
or that person, in order to crafty some
petty spite They do not think of the
consequences, nor do they care. No
one has right, particularly if he occu-
pies public position, to object to a
fair criticism of his manner of conduct
ing the trust reposed in him, and he
should, besides, be ever ready to have
his books and accounts in condition for
an inspection at any time he may rs
called upon, and if, upon examination,
his affairs should prove to be mixed
up, crooked, or in any way whatever
deserving of censure, no criticism, mat
tiers not how severe, could be objected
to; W fact it would be but justice to
the public that such should be the
case. 1t does not follow, however, that
reports, concocted in the imagna-
ton of some evil-disposed person,
should receive the sanction of our poo
pie. 1t is within the memory of our
citizens, as it only happened a year or
two ago, that a report, which was only
started in jest, caused what came near
being n serious embarrassment to the
monied institutions of our city, and it
was only through prompt action that
a panic was prevented. Reports never
lose by repeating, but like the snow
ball, they gather as they go.

AMERICA, once the land of the
people and Of freedom, is wild over an
other tuft-huuting prince toadying inn
itation of ctletc Europe. Here for the
last month the daily papers of all the
large cities have been filled with ad-
vance news Of the approaching nup-
tials of Miss Anna Gould and Count
Catalaine. a French noblcman, who
was fortunate enough to catch a wealthy
American Girl. We don't blame the
Count. 1t is natural that he should
seek to build up his depleted treasury
and il j. but natural that he should
take the means coming easiest To his
hands. At this time when the papers
are filled with accounts of how he
trims his nails, washes his hands,
combs his hair and cleans his teeth,
the Count is probably laughing in his
aristocratic sleeve. 1t seems a. though

THE CITY MUST PAY.
Burning OF Brookiyn's City Hall--Tt
Was Not Insured.

Brooklyn. N. Y. Feb. 27.-Early yes
terday morning, Brooklyn's citizens
We're alarmed by the cry Of fire. The
city hall was In flames. Keeper Dunno
promptly sent in an alarm, and imme-
diately gave his attention to his sick
wife, and notified other members Of
his family to hurry out of the appar-
emily doomed building. Flremen were
soon on the spot, their efforts being d.
rected on the cupola, but 1t was dry
wood and their labor was in vain. Only
few minutes more and the great bell
fell with crash through the roof
Here it broke in two, one half going
through to the floor below. The dam
age to the building, apart from the
roof and tower is mainly from water.
The question OF loss cannot as yet be
fully estimated, but It will be about
100000. There Is no insurance on the
building and the city VIII have to pay
the damage. The fire originated in a
waste paper closet, through the care
lessness of some person, who used 1t.
The remains of the great bell were car
ried away by relic hunters.

WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY was ap-
propriately celebrated in this city and
in many of our county towns. The
spirit of patriotism is still dormant in
the present generation, needing only
an incentive for action to burst forth
like the lightning flash or the quick
ness of thought. Patriotism fills the
largest portion of the heart of true
American, and at crisis whereby the
proper functions of the government
would be threatened by foreign pow
er, as in the dark days of the Revolu-
ton or War Of 1872, every son of the
immortal Washington would be found
at his post of duty, defending with his
life's blood the noble cause for which
his forefathers fought and died.
