Objection to Paying n Toll for Their
Wagons.

Objection to Paying n Toll for Their
Wagons.
Some Of the farmers who come to market
complain of an order of the District Com
missioners requiring them to pay fifteen
cents a load for the privilege of having
hay wagons stand on the haymarket lot,
after weighing. until the hay is sold. This
the farmers think a grievous tax, because
they already pay to the District nearly ST.
900 a year for weighing their hay. Mr.. Ar
thur Stabler of Sandy Spring. Md, speak
ing to a Star reporter of the matter. said:
Surely it does appear to as reasonable
that "a farmer should be allowed the privi-
lege of remaining on the lot adjoining the
scales long enough to sell the hay without
having to p3y an additional fee for so
slight a privilege.
I'm some Cities notably Philadelphia, the
farmers have much better accommodations
than they have here We are credibly in
formed that there they have a commodious
shed to drive their loads of hay and other
bulky produce under, where they are pro-
tected from storms, and can remain over
night without any charge being made ex-
cept for We Ching and measuring the loads
Mr.. Stabler has received from DIR. Tin
dali, secretary of the Commits sioners, a
communication showing the receipts of the
District from the hay scales. The commu-
ncation says:
referring to your conference with the
Commissioners this morning relative to the
amount paid to the District annually for
the use of the hay scales, l have to reply
that all the scales this year brought was
S4O.1S. of which $50 was for the scale at
sl.0;'G93. of which $500 was for the scale at
the wholesale market. In 1873 they brought
S1,O145O, of which $3.50 was for the scale at
the wholesale market"

CUBAN SUCCESS REPORTED.
Said to Have Defeated Superior Mum.
hers Of Spanish.

bcrs of Spanish.
Cuban messenger, who arrived at the
Cuban junta in New York last night, direct
from the seat of the revolution, reports that
on November 10 one of the largest battles
that has been fought since the begLning of
the present trouble with Spain took place.
The battle occurred at Taguasco, town
in the interior of the island. The Spanish
forces consisted of 10000 men, while the
Cubans had but about 1000. The Spaniards
were led by Generals Valdez, LucQue and
Aldave, and General Maxine Gomez was at
the head of the Cubans. The CubanS had
most favorable position.
For thirtysiX hours the opposing forces
fought, but the Spaniards were unable to
drive the Cubans back
The latter, however. could do no more than
hold their own. Finally, just at critical
moment. General Antonio Maceo of the
Cuban army came rushing in with a force of
$500 men. With the aid of this REINFORCE
ment the Spaniards We're quickly routed.
The Cubans advanced then toward Trinidad
and Cienfuegos.
General Aldave is reported to have been
killed in the battle, and the total number
of killed and wounded is placed a 600 Gen
Gomez secured 100 rifles and large amount
of ammunition.
This is believed to be the largest battle of
the revolution, larger than that of Rayamo
several months ago.

On the night eff the 9th of January 1853
Sir Hamilton Seymour, minister of Great
Britain at st. Petersburg. was ut 4 party
in the palace of the Archduchess Helen.
There Nicholas said to him: THE affairs
of Turkey are i'll a very disorGlniZed condi-
ton. The country itself seems to be falling
t. pieces. The fall VIII be a great misfor-
tune. and it is very important that England
and Russia should come to Il perfectly good
understanding upon these affairs, and that
either should take any decisive step" The
English minister answered that this was
certainly his view of the way in which the
urk,sh question sao1ld be .reateh. Mich
oias then sad. as if continuing his previous
remarks: stay; We have on our hands

to erect trolley line from Anacostia to the
corner of Sd street and Missouri avenue
northwest has been put into circulation.
Mr.. John E. Herrell. president of the Ma

as the hacker of the scheme.
In conversation today with Star reporter
Mr.. Herrell said the report had been brought
to his attention, but that he desired to say
that while he is to some extent financially
interested in the road, he is not aware that
the subject of changing the line from horse

by any one in authority.
Mr.. Herrell sad that President Griswold
told him Saturday last that he was going
to Connecticut, where he now is. to spend
a few days among his friends there and to
procure some much-needed rest, but not one
word was mentioned by either Mr.. Gr!swuld
or himself as to a proposed change in the
motive power of the Anacostia Railway
Company.

did not work easy, and l have never
made much money until l obtained
the Practical Plating Dynamo. This
is the electrical machine used in all
the great gold and silver plating
factories, and does the work every
time. No sooner did people hear that
l had this electrical Dynamo, than /
had more spoons, knives, forks and
jewelry than l could plate in a month.
The first week 1 cleared $3.50, and the
second week l cleared $500, and l

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to get 500 and Perhaps Make
Forum,

We secuse patents and to induce people to
keep track OF their bright ideas we offer a
prize Of one hundred dollars TO be paid on the
first OF every month to the person who sub
mits to us tie most meritOfiOus invention
during the proceeding month. We will also
advertise the invention free OF charge In the
National Recorder, a weekly newspaper, pub
lisned in Washington, D. c., which has an ex-
tenssye circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the interests Of in
ventofs.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea Of being able 40 invent something
strikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusiOn the Company wishes to dispel.
IL Is the simple things and small inventions
that makes the greatest amount OF money,
and the complex ones are seldom profitable.
Almost everybody, at some time or another,
cOnceives an idea, which. II patented, would
probably be worth to him fortune. I'm
fortunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple inventions like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the color button, the
lock, the bottle stopper the snow shovel, are
things that almost everybody sees some way
OF improving upon. and it is these kind OF in
ventions that bring the greatest returns to
the author
The prize we offer will be paid at the end OF
each month, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or not.
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through US, and whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have valuable patent.
