The Receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company authorize me to give
the following notice:

cult Court appointing Receivers for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, all
obligations of the Relief Department are
thoroughly protected. and will be fulfilled
to the letter.
Under the Courts order, the Relief De-
partment will be continued precisely in
the same manner as under the Company's
management, and members of the Relief
Department will receive benefits, etc..
with the same regularity and certainly as
heretofore.
The funds belonging to the Relief De-
partment, both Relief, Savings and Pen
sion Features, under the ordor of the
United States Circuit Court, are perfectly
safe, and the appointment of the Receivers
and their management of the Relief De-
partment under the supervision, and with
the approval of the Circuit Court, absolute
ly insures the members of all features of
the Relief Department against loss.
Payments of benefits. pensions and de-
posits will continue as before the appoint
ment of the Receivers, the Relief depart
ment not being really affected by this ap-
pointment in any way.
The Savings and Buildings Features will
continue to loan money to employees as
heretofore.

Will some of our Democratic ex-
chan ges tell Is why the bonded debt of
the United States has been increased
during the preseLt administration two
hundred and six y-two million dollars?
In 1892, when Mr.. Cleveland was cleo
ted President, the county was in a
most prosperous condition, the most
prosperous for years. The day after
his election it showed, and the back
bone Of business has been chilled ever
since. The Democratic platforms de-
clared that Protection is robbery
and fraud" and the Democratic Con-
gress promised TO restore to The people
the money taken flom them by the
"robber manufacturers" That Con-
gress closed the factories, many Of
them and crippled the NEST of them,
and the independent laborer of 1892
has often since then been forced to
eat the bread Of charity.
During that campaign Senator Gray
said that the manufacturers of Will
mington had their hands in the pock-
cts Of the mechanics and laborers of
that city up to the elbows. He pre-
Losed to make things cheaper. He has
done SO and for his $5,00000 salary

itp Their wages have been cut down
or stopped altogether, and they have

ded debt against the country has
grown into the millions. The Repub-

increasing the public debt but were
paying it off at about the same rate the
Democrats have been increasing 1t. Is
there no difference whether you make
thousand dollars more than your ex-
penses or spend a thousand more than
your income? Will some of our Demo-
cratic exchanges tell US how this is

Poking Fun at the Farmer.
The good farmer sees many narrowing
sight.
A farmer may be toothless and yet have
many an acre.
1t makes a farmer have wry face to see
his grain crop short.
A farmers face may be smooth, although
his fields are furrowed.
To farmer corn in the field is worth
much more than corn on the toe.
The farmers crop differs from a chickens
and is generally more valuable.
Many farmer is small potatoes himself,
although he raises very large ones for the
market.
Sometimes farmer looks as seedy as his
farm in the spring.
A good farmer likes to turnip the soil,
even if he gets beet in doing so.
The farmer should always sleep in bed,
but meyer in celery bed.
Some farmers are very slow, although
they may have any quantity of hops.
When heifer farmer starts to raising
stock he shouldn't let anything cow him
in an attempt to bull the market.

Thoughts for Teachers.

The school term of the United States av-
erages twenty-eight weeks.
Massachusetts, has school house to
every square mile of her area.
Teachers are vastly more potential than
the text books and the teaching.
The true teacher is moral force not
only in school but in the community.
The teacher who represents to the par
ent that the pupil is doing better work in
school than he actually is, does an injustice
to both parent and pupil.
Teachers have found that ii is not neces-
sary to spend the whole of the long vaca-
tion in idleness; that devoting part or all
of il to study and travel does not interfere
with recuperation.

Looks Like Fraud Again.

The trial of Jones VS.. Freeman
was had last Friday and Saturday.
The jury was empannclled the
first half day with Albert HALEY,
Foreman. The rulings OF the
court were eminently fair, and Mr..
Jones' Att'ys began the introduc-
ton of evidence in high spirits.
The ward 3 tally sheets were in
troduced and the court ordered the
box counted in the presence of the
jury.
But in obiecting to the filing OF
ward 3 tally sheets, Frceman's
lawyers filed the affidavlts of Find
ley and Olivcr-not as evidence,
for the plaintiff had not closed and
they could not begin the introduc-
tion of testimony-but only in
support of their objection.
They succeeded however in fool
ing the stenographer into putting
it down as filed in evidence, wheth-
er by accident or on purpOse-so
far as the lawyers were concerned
it was evidently on purpose, for
they soon after proposed to rest
the case, and Jones' lawyer, think
ing they had introduced no evi-
dence against the ward 8 box,
agreed to it, and when the jury
retired to consider the case, they
found the affidavits of Oliver and
Findley in the record as evidence
and undisputed, when of course,
they brought in q verdict for
Freeman.
Our lawyers do not propose,
however, to be beaten by such
cheap practice as this, and have
re-opened the case on q motion for
a new trial.
Mr.. Freeman has gained all he
had to gain at the outset-a little
more time. He seems to be as
happy over that, however, as if he
was honestly entitled to the Office.
