show that Robert II. Kelby librarian Of the New

day that the stone never sent TO the society,

the name OF the street and another side the

been adopted, and the stone will continue to do Its

Snow BlOckades.

When F. ID. Underwood left
Minneapolis to come to Baltimore to
take the position of General Manager
of the Baltimore aud Ohio Rail Road
he brought straw hat and linen
duster expecting to bask in the balmy
southern breezes that blow up Chesa-
peoke Bay sometimes. Within ten
days after he took charge two hum
dred miles of the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road were blocked with snow
and Baltimore had worse blizzard
than any one In the North West ever
experienced. 1t cost the road about
sixty thousand dollars day for four
days to get the tracks In condition to
resume traffic, but the officials are
very proud of the fact that they beat
all competitors in getting trains
through from Pittsburg and other
western points to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. All Of the
through trains that were delayed by
the storm were fortunately tied up at
large towns, 30 that none of the pass
engers suffered from hunger or cold.

Testing the Grades.

The G. H. v. & T. Railway off,
cials have had no end of trouble
with their motive power. The
traffic has been unusually heavy
and train after train has stalled on
the grades along the line. Com
plants of strained machinery have
been numerals and the amount of
repairs large and costly. One of
the Panhandle compound engines
for heavy and fast work was sent
down the Valley to determine the
cause of all the trouble.
1t is we'll known that these en-.
gines pull time freight on passen-
ger train time and the trial over
the Hooking wac conducted with
great interest.
Friday, this large engine walked
up the valley with IS loaded cars,
and passed up the grades with the
greatest ease.
The test will result in new mo-
tive power for the Hooking road.

Col. Colt Resigns.

Col. o. B. Colt, who has so ably
commanded the 4th o. v. I. has re-
signed his commission. He with
stood the shower of shot and shell
that came whistling through the
trees in Porto Rico, but when he re-
turned to his native state, covered
with the glory that justly mounts
the shoulder straps of a hero of the
conflict, he went up against that
which was more bitter than the
Spanish insolence. He came face to
face with the jealousies of the ad-
jutant General of this great State
whom had the power and used it to
make Col. Colts duties most un-
bearably Unpleasant, and hence his
resignation. One can hardly real
ize that God given Republican who
poses as the savior of this great
country by the trust reposed in him
could have treated a brother Rep
ublican, in the cause of mans up
lifting, so basely. But Col. Colt
found out that the Democrats are
not the only bad people on earth
that even In his own sweet party
there are others. Others that he
could not stand or stomach. He
even intimates in his wrath that the
military head Of this great State has
robbed the treasury Of several thous-
and dollars among other deformities.
