Killed on The Rail.

At an early hour Saturday morning
track walker Tibbitt discovered the man
gled body of an unknown white man lying
on the north bound track of the P. w. &
B. railroad, midway between Elkton and
Iron Hill stations The remains were
taken to E1kton and placed in charge of
the county authorities. 1t was thought
unnecessary to hold an inquest Later in
the day the body was taken to the Aims
House cemetery at Cherry Hill for inter
ment. The man was apparently about IS
years old and beyond the letters 81. c.
tattooed on the right arm and the word

circled by flowers on the left, there was
no clue as to his identity.

Residence Burned.

The handsome residence of George w.
Sutton, known as Wildwood" two miles
from Perryville, was destroyed by fire
Monday night. The fire had its origin in
the kitchen fue. Just after supper Mrs.
Sutton discovered that the house was on
fire, and after considerable work sue
ceeded in getting it, as was thought,
entirely distinguished. Before retiring
every evidence of fire had disappeared,
but shortly afterward Mr.. Sutton was
aroused by the cracking of flames upon
the roof. The fire was then beyond con-
troll and all efforts were directed to getting
the family out in safety. No help was at
hand, and the furniture as we'll as the
house, was consumed. The loss of build
ing and contents is estimated at $1,000,
covered by $4,000 in the Hartford Iusur-
ance Company of Connecticut. The
property destroyed was one of the finest
residences in Cecil county.

Base Ball.

Rising Sun and Perryville played
their second game Saturday after
noon, the Perryvillians being again
badly defeated-shut out in fact.
The game was played ON the home
grounds and although Perryville
were strengthened by a battery
from Oxford they were no match
for the home team. Riale pitched
a remarkable game, striking out
fourteen of the opposing batters
and allowing but four safe hits.
Not one of the visitors was for
tunate enough to reach third base
during the game. Devon put up a
beautiful game behind the bat. c..
T. Dare and Devon carried off the
batting honors.
The game was marred by the in
cessant kicking of the visitors who
were continually wrangling with
the umpire over anything and
everything. The score:

More Bankers Rot.

The Michigan Bankers Associa-
ton recently held their annual
pow-wow and their speechesarepub-
lished by the Financier. They go
over the same old stories and in
dulge in the same rot that has be-
come but a repetition. One follows
another the speakers repeating the
same baseless assertions. 1t is a
matter of wonder to the public
whether these bankers are as
densely ignorant of financial science
as their speeches indicate. Can it
be that they have argued each
other and persuaded themselves
into believing the gross absurdities
which are the burden of their
speeches? The time has gone by,
be that as it may, when their
harangues at these Association
gathering had any influence on the
public. The intelligent portion Of
the people know they are utterly
groundless, and have come to
believe that bankers as a class are
among the most ignorant Of the
people on financial questions. Their
speeches are witnesses to this. If
they are judged by their speeches,
carefully prepared and delivered
at these association meetings, there
never was such set of ignormises
met to discuss the business they
are engaged in. They appear to be
utterly bewildered, have no plans
to present, mouth lot of nonsense,
misstatements and perversion of
facts. 1t is ridiculous that such a
class of men should be allowed to
control and debauch the business
of the country by a plundering
system of banking. Their mis-
management and criminal manage
ment have cost the people thousands
of millions of dollars.

Whitehead in Cecil.

Mortimer Whitehead spoke for Bryan
and free silver in Chesapeake City on
Monday night, in North East Tuesday
night, in Elkton Wednesday night and
will speak in Port Deposit this evening at
7.3o. Large crowds OF interested listeners
attended all the meetings. The people
never in any previous campaign showed
the interest they take to get correct in
formation on free coinage of silver above
all else and no better man could be found
to impart it to them than Mr.. Whitehead.
All who can possibly attend should be at
the meeting TO night at Port Deposit.

"Redeeming, Silver With Gold.

The bankers, doubtless inspired
from London, have pressed Carlisle
-Cleveland's mouth piece-to pro-
mise to exchange silver dollars for
gold if it should be found necessary
to preserve the parity of the metals
to take such action. This is not
only without law but directly in
violation of law, or would be if
Carlisle dares to carry out his
threat. Such a thing as a govern
ment "redeeming" its silver money
with gold has never been known in
the worlds history. This is threat
to rob the people by unlimited issue
of bonds to buy gold to exchange
for our silver money under tlimsy
excuse that it would be done to
preserve the parity between the
metals and protect the credit of the
government. If this threat of high
handed violation of law and bold
high way robbery of the nation by
a conspiracy in which the president
is interested and part of, does not
alarm the people, then nothing
short of the sound of cannon will.

Political rIeetingS,

AS October draws near the political
campaign grows warmer and more excit-
ing. In addition to the Bryan and free
silver meetings addressed by Mortimer
Whitehead this week at Chesapeake City,
Elkton, North East and Port Deposit,
other meetings are advertised to take
place i'll the near future. Congressman
elect 1--WE may as we'll say for that he is sure
to Beg Geo. Jewett will speak also, and a
rousing free silver meeting is sure to be
the outcome of the efforts making by the
9TH district free silver club this evening.
Just over the line at Nottingham, Pa,
Hon. VIM. H. Berry is advertised to adj
dress a mass meeting next Wednesday
evening. The Nottingham Silver Cornet
Band is engaged to help entertain the
crowd which will doubtless assemble on
that occasion. On the preceding evening,
Tuesday, September 29th, Mr.. Berry will
speak at Rising Sun under the auspices
of the Bryan free silver club. Members
of the club should feel it a personal duty
to be present in force and notify and get
every body out that can attend. Our
silver speakers deal in solid information
and knock down facts which make a
goldbug have cramps. In the mean time
the goldbug club of Rising Sun have two
speakers billed for Saturday o-morrow)
evening, sent up by the Hanna syndicate
from Baltimore, Hon. Geo. R. Gather
and Hon. H. M. Clabaugh will hold forth
on the platform in front of the Burlington
hall, where Messrs. Billy Marine and
Reynolds did such good work in exposing
the weakness of the goldbug cause.

A Sign of Weakness.

The elections in Vermont and
Maine followed by the loud boast
ing of the goldbug party to our
thinking is one of the most unmis
taxable symptoms of the gold
party's weakness. In the first
place the New England states are
acknowledged to be the very citadel
of the goldbug cause, and for them
to show weakness there would be to
giveuptheir case without a struggle.
In the second place both party
tickets were goldbug tickets and
there was no contest on the great
dividing questions. And thirdly
it was the object of the goldbug
element in both parties to show as
large a vote as persuasion, bull
doing and money could make for
the republican party which has
been far in the majority for decades.
Under these conditions the boast
ing and apparent joy the McKin-
leyite papers and partisans have
evinced is the strongest proof of
their weakness. 1t resembled
drowning men grasping at straws.
Vermont has electrol votes, Maine
6, Alabama has II, and Arkansas
s, nineteen electrol votes against 10
and the Bryan party never con-
sidered the elections in these states
worth naming.

Horses Killed by Lightning.

Three horses belonging to James Clark,
tenant on the Andrew McIntire farm,
east of Elkton, we're killed by lightning
Saturday afternoon. The singular feature
of the accident was the fact that the
horses were about thirty yards apart, but
near wire fence which was attached to a
tree. Lightning struck the latter and the
electrical current passed along the fence
killing three horses and binding a fourth.
Two of the animals were young colts.
