Our "Peerless" Delegate.

The craftsmanship which is being dis
played by one of our representatives at
Annapolis has indeed few, if any, par
allels in the history of our county. After
making the rostrum ring last fall with
eloquent promises Of his efforts in behalf
of good government, if sent to the State
capital, we find him posing as its cham
pion by the introduction to the legisla-
ture of strong anti-gambling law, and
then from behind its sheltering cover
presenting a bill, which, if enacted.
would clearly abrogate every provision OF
this same strong anti gambling law, as
applying to our county, and saddle upon
us one of the most infamous measures
ever spread upon the statute books.
When accused of his per6dy we find him
seeking refuge under the lame and pitifnl
plea that he did not know it was load
ed;" that he placed such implicit conf
dence i'll the sterling integrity of the
trainers of the bill as to give no thought
to the possible snake concealed within its
skilfully constructed provisions; that he
had not looked into the matter; in fact,
had not read the bill! How peerless "
How ungrateful ofthese honorable gentle
men to take advantage of our delegate
youthful innocence and guilelessness.
and what an honor to old Cecil to send to
the legislative halls of her State cham
pion of good government who was SO
unsophisticated as to be imposed upon in
this deplorable manner. How proud the
old Sixth, the grand old Sixth district,
whose vote has ever been overwhelm
ingly on the side of temperance and
morality, is to know that she accorded to
this stalwart giant of good government
the highest vote of any of those on the
delegate ticket. And what joy must be
in the heart of this advocate Of all that is
moral and good to know that he has not
brought disgrace upon his family name
with its long line Of distinguished mem
bers who have gone before him. And
how easily he clears himself Of the charge
of being a miserable stool pigeon 10 &
gang of corrupt conspirators who would
stealthily force upon the people OF the
county that which would besmirch their
fair name but enrich to a wonderous
degree this little band Of shrewd, far
sighted improvers of the welfare of our
county Yea, how truly thank full we are
for all these things, but oh Judas, hast
thou not betrayed us?

prece dented powers, putting the actions of
the company entirely beyond the pale OF
the county and even the State guardians
of the law, aud making the company the
sole judge of its own deeds.
The alarm sounded by the county press
has been followed by the action of the
people in mass meeting at Elkton, on
Tuesday, where the sentiment of the best
element OF the county was expressed i'll
vigorous language, and steps taken to
defeat the passage of this infamous bill
The very framing of the bill shows the
cunning of hand, being clothed
in such manner as to make it appear, OH
its face, entirely innocent of any intent
other than the furtherance of a good
cause, with the plain purpose of catching
the unwary.
1t is safe to predict that the bill will
meet with the defeat it deserves, as the
citizens of the county are bestirring them

While the officers ct the company. as

to have the bill adversely reported
and killed in committee, and that
he would send a telegram to that
effect on his return to Annapolis
Monday. On Tuesday morning
Mr.. Warburton received the prom
Used telegram, which he read at the
meeting.
Mr.. Evans in his address stated
that the Elkton Improvement COM
pany claimed only to want the
right to hold an agricultural fair,
with attendant privileges and if
such were the case, as was well
known by the company, all that
was necessary was an application
to the court, as had been done by
the Fair association at the time
they received their charter.
The Elkton Improvement COM
pany, as far as known, is composed
of Messrs. John S. Writ, George S.
Woolley, George r. Ash, Clarence
Strickland and o. G. Giles.
Rev. A. S. Mowbray in the
course of his remarks was asked if
he knew who drew up this infam-
GUS bill. He stated that he could
not give "court evidence, ;" but that
a mutual friend on being informed
that Mr.. Writ was the author had
called the latter over the phone
asking if such was the case. A
person at the other end of the
phone who said he was Mr.. Writ
replied eyes," that he had drawn
the bill. Mr.. Writ was present
while Mr. Mowbray was addressing
the meeting, but, like the corpse,
he said-nothing.

dresses and the appointment of a

MORE PAVING TO BE DONE.
The Town Council So Decided at Meet
ing Monday Night.

The Town Council So Decided at a Meet
ing Monday Night.
A special meeting of the Town
Council was held on Monday night at
which business of Importance to
every citizen and taxpayer in the
town was transacted.
The paying contractors, Messrs.
Kennedy & Son, rendered their bill
for paving and the setting of curbing
on Liberty, Second, Oak and Fourth
streets under their contract, and a
sum approaching $4,000, was paid.
A motion was made by Councilman
Bolden to enter into a contract with
Messrs. Kennedy & Son to pave Sec
ond street from Centre to Wilson and
Oak street from Third to Fourth, the
work to be done next spring. The
motion carried and the contract exc
cuted.
Two propositions for the installa-
tion of a system of water works for
the town were received-one from
Mr.. F. T. Martin, representing Fair
mont people, and the other from Mr..
Landon, of Mt. Lake Park, who rep
resented L. 7. Yoder, Esq. The for
mer contemplates the erection of a
pumping station at a point on the
Youghiogheny River near the rail
road bridge and a receiving reservoir
at point sufficiently elevated to car
ry the water to all sections of town.
The rates for domestic use are to be
the same as the Pittsburg rates. The
town is to pay $25 per year for each
fire plug.
Mr.. Landon's proposition is in eff
feet the same as the ones heretofore
submitted by him, the source of sup
ply to be the spring from which Mt.
Lake Park is now supplied.
Both propositions were taken under
advisement by the Council.

PHENOMENAL OCCURRENCE.

Troy Messenger
Dan Hues a respectable citizen WHOSE
Veracity Is not at all questioned, ana

of Troy on Richland Creek and three

nal change which has taken place Within
the last three years. 1t Ia the gradual
disappearance OF hill. which he aVow5
has not been caused from washing:
About three quarters of mile from
Hues' lives a man named Wiley Ford
There is a hill between the two resi-
dences. the ground being In state of
cultivation, being free from any growth
of trees etc. Three years ago all that
was visible of Ford's house. from Hues
was a small portion of the west end or
the top. Today the entire house may
be seen and also objects In the yard are
plainly visible. especially those with III 9
can be seen moving about. The soil of
the hill between the places Is red clay
and rocks. thus Mr.. Hues says 1t Is the
same that was there three years ago.
and that there Is no evidence that 1t has
washed away to any extent whatsoever.
He saws that the top of the house as
seen three years ago is fully sixteen or
more feet from the ground and that his
place has either risen or the hill has
given away and Is disappearing from
some unknown cause He says that he
invites anv one to come out to his place
to see how it looks and can secure num-
bers of witnesses to prove 1t was as

Yankee Notions Abroad.

A striking feature of the American
invasion" of Great Britain is the extent
10 which proprietary medicines made in
the United States are supersedlng the
remedies long in use in the British Isles.
London Truth protests vigorously against
the innovation, but the Yankee vendors
Of cure-alls are undlsmayed- They are
assuring John Bull, through his most In
fIuentiai journals, that the English pills
and LIQUID compounds are wretched frauds
and shams, and that the Briton in search
Of health will find relief by the use Of
American panaceas alone. 1t,might have
been thought that the British apothecary
was too firmly established in the conf
dence of the British public to be injured
by the competition of the American pill
maker. But that is evidently not the case
Judging by Truths lament Uncle Sam 5
impudenve is amazing. He has made
John Bull sick by taking big slice OF
his trade from him. and now he insists
on dosing him with foreign medicinal
nrenarations L. relieve his suferings
London billboards are covered with plac-
ards proclaiming the virtues OF Yankee
nils and proprietary medicines. The
streets are full of vendors OF American
remedies for all the ills to which flesh is
heir, These things sadden John Bull. He
hoped to be saved from our quacks, even
II he had to sacrifice trade He cannot
escape from from Yankee ingenuity in
its most unattractive form even on the
