How the Residents of the Town of Oar
Iington Secured Good Roads.

Hngton Secured Good Roads.
Among the numerous small towns in
Hartford county, Md, is the village of
Darlington, a place of about 200 peo-
pie, located in the northeastern part of
the county. The roads in the imme-
date vicinity of Darlington were prob
ably the worst in the county. Its near
est railroad station is four miles away,
and this made its citizens feel all the
more keenly the need of better roads.
Urged on by this constant and growing
evil, few of the leading citizens issued
a public call for meeting. This was in
the fall of 1887. About so men re-
sponded. After some discussion the
following resolution was adopted at
the meeting:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens of Har-
ford county, Md, realizing the impor,
lance of taking some more active meas,
ures looking to the improvement of our
public highways in and around the
town of Darlington, call upon our fell
low citizens to join us in forming an

ROAD LEADING OUT OF DARLINGTON, MD.
organization to be known as the Road
league, which shall have for its object
the maintenance and improvement of
the roads in Darlington and vicinity.
1--WE expect to render aid to our coun.
" commissioners and road supervis-
ors, recognizing, as we do, their eff
cheney and liberality in the past. We
believe that by united effort on the
part of our citizens, acting in concert
and setting aside all selfish interests
ard all political conditions, we can thus
secure the greatest good to the greatest
number.
with the most improved implements
and machinery always at our command
and n competent and skillful overseer
to direct the work at a seasonable time
and in a systematic manner, we feel
sure of having better results than ever
before.
"The business of this road league
and the direction of its affairs should
be intrusted to a council of IL of our
tried and trusted citizens, who shall
held Office for one year, or until their
successors are elected, on the second
Wednesday in October of each year.
Their first duties shall be to elect Off
GERS of the association and formulate
plan for actual work.
ANY person may become a member
by paying the sum of one dollar an
puo11yr opd x1,a aornaS+lyy bO,,a fo,. n
widely-eXtended membership, so that
our hands may be strengthened and a
healthy public spirit may be fostered
and encouraged in our midst"
This resolution was signed by As
citizens, and out of it sprang the OAR
lington Road League. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted which pro-
vided for the management of the af-
fairs of the league by council of IL.
This council of ~ was the working
force of the organization. They held
many meetings, at which they received
full reports of the work of the over
seer and members of the league. They
proceeded upon the theory that in or
der to insure success in road improve
ment the work must begin at home
among the people.
To this end they called upon the
county commissioners requesting them
to intrust the repair of the roads in
Darlington, about two miles in extent,
to the care of the Road league. This
the commissioners did, granting at the
same time that portion of the road
fund set aside for the use of Darling
toms roads. The league went to work
in earnest, and in less than 80 days
they had constructed two miles of good
shell road, running the entire length of
the town.

yesterday that two men in the employ
of the Republicans and gold standard
Democrats are going all over the city
and making small bets on the election
with friends Of the free coinage OF
silver. The names of the bettors are
taken by the gold men with the in
tention Of preventing them from voting
at the November election. The law
provides that any person who shall
make a bet or wager ON the result
Of the election cannot legally vote and
the gold men are resorting to this
means Of disfranchising as many silver

prominent citizens OF Indiana, went
on board the United States battleship

were fired in their honor.
The purpose of the visit of this dele
CATION of Westerners to the finest of

to it's officers the silver service and
library that the citizens Of Indiana
had provided for the craft, named in
honor Of the State they represent.

the presentation speech, to which, on
behalf of Capt. Evans and the officers
and men of the Indiana, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy McAdoo re-

When Mr.. McAdoo had finished there

was brimful of wit and humor and
when he was about to finish he called
ON all those present to give three cheers
for the good ship Indiana, her officers,
men and the flag she carried above
ser. Cheers were given with a will
then Captain Evans shouted: my lads,
give three cheers for those good friends
Of ours who have given MS this silver"
This was responded to with cheers that
fairly startled the guests. Dinner was
then served. The silver consists of
thirty-eight pieces, being a full dinner

Free Man To-day

Free Man To-day.
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 21.-Gov. Hast
ings mas signed the recommendation
for pardon for John Bardley, ex-cfty
treasurer of Philadelphia, who, in 1891,
was sentenced to IS years for embez-
zling nearly a million dollars of city
and State moneys
The Governor gives no reason for
his action, although it is thought his
decision was FASTENED by the fact that
Bardsley was stricken with paralysis
of the left side on Thursday last The
pardon was mailed tonight by Chief
Clerk Gearhart, of the State Depart
ment to Warden Cassidy, of the East
ern Penitentiary, and Barcisley viii
be set free tomorrow.
The financial panic of the summer Of
1891, which wrought Barcsley's down
fall was one of the worst this city has
ever suffered 1t began with the sud-
den collapse of the keystone Bank, and

Marsh, VINO is till a fugitive from JUS
tice. The Spring Garden Bank was
the next to close it's doors. and the Ken
nedy brothers, it's president and cash
ier, were sent to prison for ten years.
Cashier Lawrence, Of the keystone,
was given ten years, and was pardoned
about two months ago by President
Cleveland.
In those two banks BardsIey had de-
posted hundreds of thousands of State
and city funds under an agreement by
which, it was charged, he and the Off
GERS named reaped personal profit I'M
fortunate stock speculations primarily
caused Bardsiey's ruin, although it has
been repeatedly urged that he was
little more than scape goat for worse
sinners.

ENRAGED THE SILVER MEN.
Thacher's Letter May Result in An
other Gubernatorial Candidate.

New York, Sept 21-The Democratic
campaign i'm New York viii be made
a curious one by the proclamation
which John Boyd Thacher throws into
the field. The effect of his letter de-
claring that he is Tor Bryan but against
silver cannot be judged at such short
range, but while it may possibly pre-
vent the nomination of a gold Demo
crat by the Brooklyn convention next
Thursday, it is likely to insure the
entrance of a Democratic free silver
candidate into the field.
One of the most active free silver
Democratic workers, the manager of
Eulzer's campaign for the nomination,
which assumed more formidable pro-
portions at Buffalo than any one who
knew Sulzer imagined that it could,
said tonight on being told of Thacher's
statement: at means a free silver can
didate for Governor" The free silver
men who were to be found about the
hotels tonight We're greatly enraged
at the step taken by their nominee,
for they had depended upon Thacher
to at least keep quiet upon the finan-
ciaI question and to do nothing to em-
barrass the party. They found aggra-
vation in the fact that Thacher's men
at Buffalo had assured the convention
that their candidate would accept the
Chicago platform, as the convention
did, and these assurances were received
as authoritative. Tt is taen for granted
that Thacher is merely acting as the
mouthpiece for Senator Hill, since Hill
has been behind every move of his can
vass.
The future course Of the party de-
pends upon the position taken bg
| Chairman Jones. of the National COM
mittee, more than any other factor.
| If Mr.. Jones and his advisers, recog-
nizing the embarrassment of the par
/ ty in this State, recommend that the
/ organization make the best Of the case,
/ Thacher may be swallowed. What Mr..
/ Hill says win not weigh for so much
| since most of the machine men con-
! slider Mr.. Hill's course i'm staying away
/ from the convention and refusing to
| play an open part in the party's hour
| of peril, nothing but sheer cowardice.
If Mr. Jones says that a free silver
| candidate is desirable to protect the
| interests of the National ticket, one
| may be forthcoming, and it is not inn
/ probable that Sulzer viii be the man.
/ And strangely enough, Sulzer is con-
| sidered factor by a large faction,
/ and, although he has pledged himself
to support the Buffalo nominee, he may
| think that Thacher's rejection Of the
| Chicago platform releases Democrats
/ from the obligation to support him.
