Road.
Baltimore, July 1.-The rcceivership
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at II o'clock last night and
the property was turned over to the
stockholders without celebration CT
formal ceremony. Joha X. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray We're appointed
receivers Of the company on February
goth, 1896, by the United States court
for the District OF Maryland. BEING
familiar with the needs Of the property
The receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue WAS to practi-
cally rebuild and re-equip the railroad.
The physical condition was bad, its
equipment antiquated and Inadequate
to handle business and it's insuiLicicncy
was such as to seriously injurc the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as large majority agreed to the pro-
vision Of enough funds to place the
road in condition to handle its traf-
lie, they obtained permission OF the
court to issue certificates for the pur.
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, Of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition Of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
in full of all receivers indebtedness,
the entire floating debt Of the COM
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and of all
car trust obligations. enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year of 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without a foreclosure, tho orig
inal charter of the company remains in
force and the next annual meeting Of
the stockholders will be the 73d. The
new stock of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be of great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested in the Sc
curitics, and there is a sufficiency Of
money for still further improvements,
which are in progress. with a view to
still further reducing the cost of trans
pcrtation. ---

Burton once lived, but while Adjutant

Company B was in confusion and not

to that section of tie line, and found
Burton in the rear, hiding himself in

what he meant by deserving his men,
and discovered that he had done
it out Of sheer cowardice. He was
threatened if he did not return to his
command, but without avail. The
company had gone ahead on the firing
line under command Of the lieutcn-
ants, and was carrying out It's orders

Sweet peas will grow anywhere, but
will give best results on clay soil. A
good method is to select your bed the
previous fall, enrich with thoroughly
rotted manure and spade deeply; this
will leave ground in nice shape for
early spring planting. Do not spade

best. Never use fresh manure. Early

inches apart. Hollow out drills, so
they will be about two or three inches

deep in the light, loose soil; firm soil

portant; on this sow your seed twice
as thick as you want them to stand in
row to be sure of full stand; cover
seed about two inches deep and firm
soil. Do not hill up, as it is better to
have slight depression so as to catch
most of the water after rains. Thin
plants to two inches apart before they
commence to vine. Hoe only shallow
between plants. For support use poul-
try wire or brush. For long season

Don't let the ashes choke up your

Don't keep big fire in the range
when there is no need for it.
Don't let bread grow musty-use it
up, before it is past using, in buildings,
bread, cakes, ETC.
Don't dig with one side of your broom
until it looks freakish, nor use your
best broom for scrubbing.
Don't let the cheese mold-use it up
in preparing cooked dishes if it can not
be eaten plain while fresh.
Don't kill yourself rubbing on the
dashboard when little washing pow
der or kerosene will help you so willing
ly.
Don't throw out bag of stale, soft
crackers; put them in big shallow
pan and let them get crisp again in a
moderate oven.
Don't put your clothes on the line on
a freezing day and leave them at the
mercy of the winds one minute longer
than is necessary.
Don't trust too much to servants to-
take the proper care of eatables, and of
the working utensils; constant super
