THERE SHOULD be large attendance from
Baltimore county at the fifth annual meeting
of the Maryland Horticultural Society which
will be held in Dushane Post Hall, Baltimore
and Holiday streets, Baltimore, on Thursday
and Friday of next week. An elaborate and
highly interesting and instructive program
has been prepared. In his announcement"
Prof. Quaintance, secretary of the society, says:
There is much need, at the present time, of
the combined wisdom of all horticulturists to
preserve and develop the horticultural interests
and possibilities of the State. With the injury
from insects and plant diseases, the competi-
ton from other sections of the country, and
conditions of similar import, it is only the
wide-awake grower who will reap the greatest
returns from his labors. The annual meet
ings of the society are likely to develop the
most up-to-date methods in horticultural oper-
ations, and no interested person can afford to
miss them" The first session will begin on
Thursday, at 100 P. NJ.

THE NEWS of the death of Gen. James G.
Clarke, which occurred at the home of his
daughter, in Chicago, on Tuesday last, will be
received with sadness by hundreds of his old
friends in Maryland by whom he was so high
ly esteemed and lovingly remembered. Part
of General Clarke's life was spent in Baltimore
county. He lived at Ashland, Northern Gen.
trail Railway, and while here took an active
interest in the affairs of the Democratic party,
of which he was devoted member. He once
represented this county in the State Senate.
General Clarke was born in Montgomery coun-
ty, Md, in 1924, and spent the greater part of
his life in this State. In 1860 he became gen.
eral manager of the Northern Central Railway
and later he was manager of the furnaces at
Ashland. In 1878 Gov Bowie appointed him
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
and he managed that property four years with
wonderful success. Later he was connected
with the Erie Railroad and then became presi-
dent and general manager of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad. At the time of his death he was
president of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and
his home was in Mobile. The remains will be
brought on and inferred in the family lot at
Frederick, Nd beside those of his wife, who
died about fourteen years ago. He is survived
by three sons and two daughters.

ELEVEN MEET DEATH.
Fatal Fire in a ST. louis hotel-Several
Dangerously Injured.

st. Louis, Feb. i2.-An early morn
ing fire which destroyed large three
story dwelling house occupied by men
exclusively, caused the death OF | per-
sons-10 men and one woman-and
dangerously injured seven others. A
dozen or more who had narrow escapes
from death received less serious injuries
or were frostbitten. 1t is estimated
that between 35 and 40 persons were in
the building at the time the fire broke
out, and it is believed that all have
been accounted for. The financial loss
is nominal. 1t is thought that $40, 900
will cover the damage to building and
contents. which were totally destroyed.
The fire started about $40 4. NJ.
when few people were abroad, and
gained much Roadway before it was dis
covered and the alarm given. There
was considerable delay in turning in an
alarm. and when the engines finally
reached the scene, the whole front of
the building was in flames and the in
terror was Il secthing furnace. BY that
time all who escaped death had got out
OF the building 10y jumping from the
windows or climbing down ropes made
OF bedclothes. \ few escaped on the
ground floor through the front door.
Several escapes were very narrow.
/ Every one who got out suffered some
/ injury or was frost bitten. Some barely
/ had time to get ont when aroused, the
flames had spread So rapidly. Some
saved their clothing, (which they carried
in their hands. but others We're not st
fortunate, losing everything.

BERTHA is WRECKED.
Alaskan Steamer Ashore on Harold Island
All On Board Make Land.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 10
Another steamship has been added to
the long list of wrecks along the Alas
kan shores. The Cottage City, arriving
tonight brings news of the wreck of the
Alaskan Commercial Company's steam
err Bertha, on Harold island, near the
entrance of Fitzhugh sound, north of
Queen Charlotte sound. The Bertha
sailed from Seattle for Valdes last Fri
day, having IL passengers, among
whom were - members of the United
States army signal corps, bound for
Naldes, while others were bound for
interior points.
All went we'll with the Bertha until
Saturday night. when the weather set
in thick, and Sunday morning ut 1890
the vessel struck on Harold island.
All the passengers were in bed, and the
shock caused great confusion and u
stampede was made for the upper deck.
Captain Johansen and the officers of
the ship restored order in short time.
and on investigation it was found that
the vessel was in such close proximity
to the shore that the gangplank would
reach an elevated rock. The passen-
gers at once walked ashore, and later
bedding and baggage were landed, and
a camp as made on barren rocks.
On the approach OF daylight the
work OF lightering the vessel was COM
menced by landing horses and other
freight. \ kedge anchor was put out,
and the vessel hauled into deep water
with the aid of the donkey engine. but
as soon rs deep water was struck she
began 10 sink. The vessel was swung
on the beach. She has lost her keel
and there is large hole in her bottom
forward engine room. and il is believed
she will be total loss.
