Snow and Blossoms.

Pink blossoms on peach trees and yer.
dant grass on hillsides, which the warm
sunshine of the closing days of March had
coaxed out, contrasted sharply yesterday
with the wintry weather, which swoored
suddenly on this region. Rain began falling
at ll:40 o'clock Monday night and con-
tinued until $50 o'clock Tuesday morn.
ing, when the precipitation took on the
form of snow. The descent Of the tleecy
flakes continued until 1:+5 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t was accompanied by a
freezing, blightng wind from the north
east.
The wintry blast caused considerable
damage to the fruit tees in various parts
eff the state. The lowest temperature in
the city was twenty-nine degrees, at nine
tan eleven o'clock in the morning. Mer
curry then began to rise gradually, until
at eight o'clock in the evening, it reached
the thirty fourth degree mark.
Snow fell in Baltimore on April 4th
1880; April and 1, 1881; April 10 and II
1882; April 9, 1884; April II and 13, 1885
and April2, 1887.
Fruit growers consider the outlook foi

To Continue as Il River Resort.

Judge Cox of the District of Columbia
has issued an order ratifying the sale of
the property of the Marshall Hall and Mt.
Vernon Steamboat Company by the re-
ceivers to Mr. Henry F. Woodland repre-
s"nting the syndicate that was made up to
purchase the steamers aud the pleasure
grounds down the Potomac.
Since the sale of the Mount Vernon
.operty, rumor has been rife concerning
Just who are the purchasers. 1t was stated
that the steamers and grounds at Marshall
Hall had been purchased by the Washing
ton Brewery Company, through Mr.. Wood
ard, and that the company intended es-
tablishing either an amusement concern
down the river, or would construct plant
on their property. This fumor was abso
| .oe!y denied by Mr.. Woodland when seen
10y d newspaper reporter: the rumor
probably emanated from the fact that am
president of the brewery company, and
that our manager was with me at the time
the property was bid in. You IAN state'
however, that the company has nothing
whatever to do with the transaction, and
is not interested in Marshall Hall. The
property was bought by Il party of we'll
known citizens who intend making of this
resort first class amusement place in
every part 'cular. 1t will be made place
where women and children may go and
enjoy themselves"

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been nj AIDE,
and that too, by a lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent
For three months she coughed incessant-
ly, and could not sleep. She finally dis
covered way to recovery, by purchas,
ing of US bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking the first dose
that she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs Luther Lutz. Thus writes

The Report of the Senate Com
mittee.

The Senate committee on elections on
Friday last made unanimous report in
favor of seating Mr.. William &. Clagett
from this county.
The report of the committee was adopted
by the Senate. 1t is as follows:
"To the Honorable. the Senate of Mary
land
"Your committee on elections to whom
was referred the matter of the contest of
Cart. Charles G. Gordon, contestant,
against the sitting member, Hon. William
B. Clagett, contestee, respectfully reports
that said committee has carefully exam
ined the matters and things involved in
said contest, carefully considered the evil
dence and law submitted by the contestant
and contestee, and patiently listened to
the extended and able arguments of the
attorneys of the respective parties.
"Your committee further reports that
the allegations of the contestant are not
supported by the evidence. And that
your committee has unanimously agreed
and determined that Hon. William b.
Clagett was duly and legally elected on
the end day of November, in the year 1897,
to represent Prince Georges county in
the Senate of Maryland, and therefore
recommend that the petition of Capt.
Charles G. Gordon, contesting the cleo
ton of Hon. William E. Clagrtt, be dis
missed by the Senate
The committee recommended the pas
sage of a resolution setting forth the facts,
as above, dismissing Captain Gordon's
contest and seating Mr.. Clagett. This
resolution was adopted by the Senate.
Mr. Clagett is democrat, and was
elected for a full term of four years Seat
ing him will ensure to the democrats five
hold-over Senators, namely, Applegarth,
Bou;c, Clagett, Crothers and Smith. The
republicans have eight, namely, Dick,
Ravenscroft, Williams, Messick, Dodson,
Putzel, Gray and Wilkinson.

Tobacco Inspection Bill.

The Baltimore sun of Tuesday said: The
Clagett tobacco warehouse bill, drawn in
pursuance of certain reforms the Cover
nor was DESTROYS of accomplishing, was
finally passed by both houses of the Legis-
lature. Amendments adopted increase
the salaries of the chief and deputy in
spcctors and abolish the position of chief
assistant. The Governor will be required
t" appoint one chief inspector, who will
have control of all the warehouses instead
OF the present system. Governor Lowndes
feels that under the improved system the
operations of the warehouse will be more
economically conducted By the new
system business instead of political meth
ods in the conduct of the warehouses will
prevail Governor Lowndes was very de-
sirous of having this reform credited to
his administration, and it is to the credit
of the minority that it emanated from Mr..
Clagett, democrat, who has proved him
self very valuable Senator.
