hour Saturday morning, and the

with a typewriter, the property OF

rihed, and was found near the

all over the road. Checks to the
amount of nearly three thousand
dollars were found along the tracks
of the p. w. & B. r. r. between

lars gained an entrance into the

DIR. Reed, of Dickinson college,
gave a very interesting lecture on
Thursday evening of last week at
the Tome Institute. His subject
was "The Qualities that Win"
He very ably handled the subject
throughout the whole discourse.
The epidemic of diphtheria which
caused the death of several persons
about Woodlawn, the. doctors
believe was originated by a cat.
Old snuffy cats and guinea pigs are
claimed by medical authority to be
prolific causes for the spread OF
consumption and diphtheria. No
considerable mother will allow old
cats to be about the room among
her children. They ought to be
banged out of the house on all
occasions.

Every man ought to see and as
no man has any excuse in this day
for not seeing, that the last 20 years
in the life of this republic have de-
veloped vast peril such as threat
ems us with strain upon our in
stitutions greater than that imposed
by the civil war. For condition
of political freedom can not exist in
a land where industrial slavery has
been established.
Such paragraphs as the above
are seen every where cropping out
in the papers and are spoken by
thoughtful people. They are the
rumble of the distant thunder, the
scattering drops which precede the
storm. AS the intense heat of the
summer day presages the tempest
and the hail, the pressure of the
gold ring upon the people of this
country for the last 20 years has
prepared conditions for the political
tempest that is near at hand.

Death of John n. MccIenat,an.

Mr.. John NJ. McClenahan, of Port
Deposit, senior member of the Nc
Clenahan Bros. Granite Company
died on Monday afternoon. He was
on the street for a walk and on his
return home was taken seriously ill.
Drs. Cromwell and Fisher were
summoned, and did all that medical
skill could do to relieve his suffer
ings, but he died at 5.23. Mr.. Nc
Clenahan commenced the quarry
business when quite young, being a
member of the firm of McClenahan,
Son q Co., and afterwards, with his
brother, formed the firm of McClena
han & Bro. The quarries operated
by the firm are the largest in the
state, if not in the country. Mr..
McClenahan was a member of Tome
Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church, superintendent of the
Sunday school, trustee and steward.
Being possessed of means, he was
liberal almost to a fault, and no
man will be missed more by the
poor than he. His father, Mr.. b.
d. McClenahan, in his ninetieth
year, is still living. He leaves a
widow, two daughters-Mrs. I'll. A.
Nesbitt and Mrs. George n.
Hagerty, of Baltimore-and five
sons-John, William, Howard,
Walter and Robert McClenahan-
one brother, Mr.. R. E. McClenahan
and one sister, Mrs. S. r. Carson,
of Ashville, N. G. Mr.. McClena-
han was in his sixty-third year.
