Died suddenly on Tuesday morning, Sep
TENDER 18th, 1893, Mrs. Kate M. Ward, nee
COOmes, wife of Carson Ward, Of Gathers
burg, Maryland.
The associations that cluster around death
are peculiar 10 that event alone. We think
OF severed ties that can never be bound on
earth again. We think Of persisted Joy &
that no lapse or vlcissitudes OF years will
restore. We think of the darkness and soil
tude of the tomb-of the fearful blank in
bereaved affection and the whitening lone.
illness Of spirit upon the part Of the loved
ones left on this earth 10 mourn their loss.
These are some OF the associations insepara.
bly, connected with death.
But the great destroyer may make such n &C.
lection OF his victims and achieve his gloomy
triumph under such circumstances AZ 10
give enhanced tenderness and solemnity W
these associations. and greatly 10 augment
the pangs OF bereavement. The death of
Mrs. Ward causes US W feel more than
ordinary sympathy and sorrow.
Death suddenly stretched its chilling
shadow over a little family In disastrous
contrast with the recent warmth aud sun
shine Of welded joys and all the sweets Of II
happy home.
The sad tidings of the unexpected and
premature death Of Mrs. Ward has cast II
deep gloom over the church Of which she
was a consistent aud devoted member, and
created a widespread emotion Of profound
regret and grief Ia the community.
She was good, true and noble woman,
and higher need Of praise can not be given
We deyoutly pray that God In his love and
mercy will comfort and bless the bereaved
husband, motherless child and mOurnlul
friends. l.. l.. l..

A Good HOrse.-Kinster, the fast trot.
ter owned by Mr. c. c. Waters, of German
town, has been making ex celent time at
the tracks near Baltimore. On Saturday
last, at Timoneum Fair, he won first mon.
ey, making the mile In 2:17t. At the Gen
tlemen's Driving Park, on Tuesday, he also
came out first, making the mile in Btu
The Sun reporter gives the following in re-
gard TO the last race:
"The second number on the card was also
fine race. 1t was Cor the 2:40 class Of
trotters. Kinster had shown In his trials
that he was candidate for the 2:12 class,
but there were other fast ones in the race,
and Kinster had to take mark of 2:17t to
win. This horse is one Of the extraordinary
developments of the season. He is by Kings
man, dam Cress, by Kentucky Prince. He
cost his owner, g. G. Waters, Germantown,
Md, $94 when yearling Thomas Cannon
got him to train only three weeks ago. Mr..
Cannon says he could not goa mile better
than $50 at the time he got him. The horse
is one OF the best gated in this country. He
is but four years old.
"After the race Mr.. Waters was offered
81 900 for half interest in the animal, but he
refused to take it. When asked to put a
price on Kinster, Mr.. Waters named 1000
as the amount Cannon, the driver of the
horse, said he could show mile in 2:12 over
Pimlico track at any time. The price asked
is, in these days, prohlbitiVe one. Mr..
Waters said he would race the horse while,
and then reegate him TO the stud"

San Jose Scale.-The first annual re-
port OF State Entomologist w. G. johnson
has been issued from the State Horticultural
Department of the Maryland Agricultural
College and Experiment Station. 1t is quite
a voluminous document and deals largely
with the insect pests Injurious to the fruit
and nursery interests in 1896 and 1897, es-
pecially the San Jose Scale, which has
proved disastrous during the past two years.
A considerable portion of the report is taken
up in Prof. Johnson's extensive experiments
with remedies for the San Jose Scale. Whale
oil soap, at the rate of two pounds to gallon
Of water, applied as a spray during the win
ter was found to be very effective and does
not njure the tree, while pure kerosene used
in the same way has been shown To often
seriously stunt the growth or even kill the
tree, though effectualy killing the scales.
A large number of experiments 10 fumgat.
ing trees by means of tents, in which hydro
cysnic acid gas is generated, were also per :
formed. The gas is fatal 10 all animal life,
but when properly applied has no effect
upon foliage or fruit buds.

The New B. and 0. Deal.

Receiver John K Cowen arrived in Bal.
timore from Chicago on Tuesday. In reply
to questions, Mr.. Cowen said:
at is true that large interest, very
large interest, in the Baltimore and Ohio
has been purchased by Messrs. Field, Hill
Ream and Armour, as well as other influ.
entail interests. AS to those concerned and
the amount of their purchase the reorgani.
cation managers can only answer.
at is difficult to define a control. The
class of men who have become interested
in the property is of character that would
exercise dominating influence. With
them the stock of the Baltimore and Ohio
is in stronger hands than ever before in its
history. They are strong factors In the
business world, and their interest in the
road will be a decided advantage to the
property.
Anything that will improve the Balti.
more and Ohio railroad will, by the very
nature of the case, benefit Baltimore, as this
city is Its chief terminus. The talk of NOV.
ing the general offices and Mount Glare
shops from Baltimore is all moonshine.
"The progress OF the reorganization of
the property will not be affected in the
slightest. Foreclosure proceedings and the
legal formalities will be pushed, and as soon
as these are settled the organization of the
new company will be completed. The new
interests went into the property on the basis
of the plan of reorganization. They looked
carefully over the field, and, believing the
interest in the road to be first. class invest.
ment, purchased it. The question as to the
personnel of the new directory will be set
tied hereafter, and the new interests will be
largely represented.
"Their purchase of the stock does not
mean any railroad combination. 1t does not
mean transcontinental system in connec-
ton with the Great Northern. What it
does mean is the fullest development OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The road
will not be tied to any road In the north.
west, but will continue TO deal with all
roads and take business wherever it is found
The policy of betterments will be carried
out ard the maximum traffic aimed after BY
providing the best facilities for handling the
business"

School Board VS.. School Trustees

School Board VS.. School Trustees
At meeting OF the Board of County School
Commissioners on Tuesday last the school
trouble at Travilah and Hunting Hill, in
volving the question of the right of trustees
to appoint assistant teachers, came up.
Both the County School Board and the
trustees of the respective schools claim the
right, and have been advocating their theo-
ries with some heat for the past few weeks
The matter reached a climax on Thursday
of last week, when the schools at Travilah
and Hunting Hill opened. At Travilah
Miss Griffith appeared to enter upon her
duties, but was met by the trustees and in
formed that her services were no longer
needed, and that Miss Montgomery had
been appointed In her stead. At Hunting
Hill Miss Willie Ward was likewise dc
posed by the trustees OF that school, and
Miss Elgin selected. A decision of the Court
of Appeals in parallel case and of the State
Board OF Education in 1895 sustain the
action OF the trustees in the matter, the de
cision of the State Board, based on the opin-
ion of the Attorney General at that time, be-
ing to the effect that the right to appoint all
teachers vests in the trustees.
At a meeting of the board on Tuesday,
Mr. Robert b Peter appeared as attorney
for the trustees, and argued in their favor
along the lines Of the decision of the Court
of Appeals and the State Board The board
decided in their own favor, to the effect that
as the board had not deposed former assist
ants, therefore there were no vacancies,
claiming that, as they had the right TO ap-
point, they only had the right to depose.
This rules appointees OF the trustees out.
Mr.. Peter has filed an exception to the de-
csion of the county board, to the State
Board of Education, where the matter will
be carried to be settled. The affair excites
much interest throughout the county.
