.sABOUT THE HELM BILL"

Since old Sir Thomas Browne wrote his
celebrated treatise on Vulgar Errors
many persons have been accustomed to
speculate on the causes which have led
10 the creation OF certain well-circulated
bat, false traditions.
So IL would lee interesting 20 know just
why the story should be so actively cir
cGia;ed In this state that Gov. McGraw
vetoed the Helm railway bnl."
a considerable number Of papers In the
state are attacking the governor vieor-
ously for tAis allcgeS sin Of his commits
sion: as II the legislature were stll in
session and he had just vetoed the Helm
bll.'' an they say.
Il would be interesting. as we have said.
70 learn why this story should bc circu-
lated. because it has absolutely no basis
os truth.
The fact IS that no hgn introduced IN
the legislature by Senator Helm was
passed. except one. whose title was '"ro

a further fact IS that the general rail-
Way bn which was considered by the leg
islAture was not the one introduced by
Senator Helm. but a somewhat similar one

she DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH"

LII A%F1 AOO
At the meeting of the Chamber OF Com
merce on Friday night Alonzo Hull stated
that While he was a member of the city
council he a been approached by another
member in an attempt to corrupt Mr.. Hull.
That gentleman relates that he accepted
the invitation. OF the other member TO go to
his office, but he cannot remember the
names of the other members who were
present, and 1t is not quite clear what the
proposition was, The record of the vote OF
the council shows, however. that Mr.. Hull
voted In the interest OF the supposed
scheme. while the member he accuses
voted against il.
Mr.. Hull seems to have been unfortunate
in attracting offers of corruption. He has
concealed the knowledge of one PROPOSE
ton in his Immaculate bosom for five years.
and now confesses that he was considered
''approachahle." 1t win be remembered
that on another occasion, since then, Mr..
Hulrs virtue took alarm, and he publicly
stated. after his offer to sell a lot TO the
city had been rejected. that he had been
"corruptly approached by two city off,
Gals.
1t must be exceedingly annoying TO a
man occupying the exalted position Of
First y. a. c. in the A. p. A. to be so per-
s!stently solicited by bad men to surren-
der his virgin honor.
There are some men in this community
who are never thought of in connection
with a dishonorable transaction L, is
strange SO many people should think they
may with impunity approach Alonzo Hun
with suggestions such as he confesses TO.

The Endowment Association.

In a report fled yesterday afternoon, Re-
ceivers T. NJ. Fields and A. A. Lipscomb
of the Washington Beneficial Endowment
Association suggest to the court that they
be authorized and empowered to levy and
collect all assessments now due and pay
able. and which may hereafter become
so, including all due and payable since
August 10, 1884. in accordance with the
contracts of the association. The receiv-
ers state that assessments now due and
payable and which will hereafter become
50 amount to about $4,000. Some of these
they say, have never been levied, while
others have been levied but not paid.
They suggest that If those continuing in
arrears after thirty days notice should be
dropped, all desiring to participate in a
distribution of assets would be placed upon
an equal footing. The report of the re-
ceivers may be considered by the court
sc me time during the coming week.

Fire. in Prince George. County.


Information has been received here that
a serious fire has been raging for several
days in Prince Georges county, Nd, be-
tween Redd's Corner and Centerville, and
1t is said that fully 1900 acres of wood and
other land have been burned over and de-
nuded of all their grass, bushes and small
trees. The blaze was, it is said. acci-
dentally started by William Creeh. col
ored boy, who. had been directed to burn
some brush on the farm OF his employer
A high wind sprung up and sparks were
blown to the adjoining farm, the grass on
which also quickly caught. The fire soon
became ~unmanageable and continued to
spread until a very large area was ablaze
The inhabitants turned out en- masse and
by desperate fighting succeeded in keeping
the blaze from reaching their various farm
buildings. .MuoAl. fencing was, however,
destroyed. Last night the fire was thought
to be under control, and the further pro-
gress of the flames was believed to be
