Will Give an Impetus.

For the democrats of Maryland to win next week will of course give an im- petus to the matter all over the na- tion and the general decision will not be long in coming forth. The fact that the question has been pushed forward in the Maryland campaign means of course, that the issue will figure to a considerable ex- tent in the national campaign next year. It will certainly be given prominence then when the republican and democratic can didates are brought before the people for a selection. 1 believe that the sentiment of the country is opposed to negro domin- ation and that no reasonable minded per- son believes In equality between or the amalgamaton of the races. The white man was born to rule and 1t shall ever be thus. There can be no other outcome. I think the state of Maryland will vindi- cate the democratic policy upon this question. This, in my opinion, will be fol- lowed by general indorsement from the country at large.
 Will Give German Prestige.
 For MT. German and his fellow demo- crats to win in the fight in Maryland next week" continued MT. Jones, Twill of course serve to add prestige to the prob ability of the Maryland senator's choice for the democrats presidential candi-

citation until the report of the executive committee is formally passed upon
 The Roll Call.
 An appeal was made from the decision of the chair in appointing MT. West sec retary pro tenn but it could not be put until the question as to bona fide voters was settled A compromise was finally made by calling upon the president him self to call the roll.
 When the name of lord White was called F. P. Glass of the Montgomery Advertiser, stated that he had MT. Whites proxy.
 MT. Rountree stated that Whites dues has not been paid in the past three years, and he challenged MT. Glass right to membership on the ground that he has not paid his dues for the past two years and had only attended two meetings of the association in twenty-two years.
 After much confusion the president called the roll and the challenges were recorded as the names were read.
 MT. Glass announced upon the calling of several names that he had proxies for each. They were challenged
 President Yerby announced that there were e1 unchallenged members of the as- sociation present. Eight of the names called were challenged.

TWO CANYONS.

Also Forty Shells to be Used in Making
 a Setting for the New Monument.
 Captain Lawrence O'Brien, of the Ninth regiment monument committee, has received from the war department, through the efforts of Congressman Sperry, two cannons and forty shells. They are to be used in making a setting for the monument which is now in course of erection at Bay View park, City Point, in commemoration of the Ninth regiment, c. ", of the civil war. This is the place where the regiment was recruited, and the state has ap- propriated part of the money and the rest is being raised by popular sub- scriptlon. There has been enough mon- ey raised to guarantee the success of the monument.
 The cannons are each six feet long and weigh 1,500 pounds each. Both they and the shells come from the United States arsenal at Watertown, N. Y. Four cone-shaped groups will be built around the monument.
 President Blake, of the park commits sioners, yesterday received a call from Colonel Healy, member of the monu- ment committee, in reference to where the monument should be located In the park. The monument will be dedicated on August with appropriate exercises.

Family Quarrel in Newtown Ends by One Member Being Fearfully Siashed.
 Newtown, April 7.-Dennis Cavanaugh of this place had a narrow escape from being murdered at his home Friday night. He is now suffering from seven wounds said to have been inflicted with a butcher-knife by his brother-in-laW, John Bradley. Immediately after the affair Bradley disappeared.
 It is said that the trouble was the result of a family feud arising out Of the act of Michael Bradley deeding his property to his daughter, Mrs. Dennis Cavanaugh, about a year ago. Friday the son returned to the home where the entire family, including the some, lives, and became engaged in a quarrel with his father. Mrs. Cavanaugh became frightened and went out after her hus- bei:C. He returned. and upon his en- trance it is said that he was confronted with a loaded revolver. He jumped for ward and struck John Bradley's arm, knocking the. weapon to the floor. It was discharged by the fall. Then Ca vanaugh jumped on Bradley and knock
 
 til he begged for mercy. He was then allowed to rise. Cavanaugh left Brad- ley and went to the other end of the kitchen. It is said that young Bradley followed him, and with knife began a merciless cutting. Half an inch above 'the abdomen was a long gash that re- quired ten stitches to close. One stab would have reached the heart had not the course of the knife been defiected by a rib so that it entered the body an inch above the top of the heart and made wound five inches in length.
 Although the victim was covered with blood, the assailant did not cease his savage work, but plunged the knife into Cavanaugh's back between the shoulder blades. Another blow sent the knife completely through the fieshy part of Cavanaugh's right forearm. A cut six inches in length was also inflicted on his ring hand, and other severe wounds were sustained. Although the wounds are serious he will recover.

NOT FOUL PLAY.

Police Believe That Hickey Attempted
 Suicide--Some Grave Motive Back of
 the Deed.
 The hospital authorities stated last evening that the condition of Walter Hickey, the young man who was found near Milford in a critical condition a few days ago, and who was taken to the New Haven hospital, was about the same. It was rumored yesterday that his wounds had been inflicted by foul play. Police officials when questioned in reference to the matter last evening said that they had no doubt that the young man had inflicted the wounds himself. They also said that they thought he had some grave reason for attempting the deed, which has not yet been discovered. They also remarked that it was very peculiar fact that he had gone to such an out of the way place to commit the deed. No motive tor the act has yet been found. It is ex- pected that Hickey will live.

 on the Rampage.
 Forestville, April While suffering from an attack of delirium tremens to- day John Manson, powerful Swede, aged about twenty-five years, nearly wrecked the Forest house in this village causing damage which is estimated by the proprietor, Louis S. Burg, at S1,20O.
 Manson ragged about the house, smash ing his fists through panes of glass wherever he could reach them, over turning furniture and otherwise dam aging the house. Burg became alarmed when the Swede started in to wreck things, and securing revolver fired two shots at him, neither taking effect. Burg then grappled with him, but prov ed no match for the crazed man. No assistance could be gotten from outside so Manson was allowed to carry on his work of destruction until he became either satisfied or tired and returned to his home, about a mile from the hotel There he said God told him to do it.
 Mir. Burg finds his damage to be as follows: Fifty-four broken panes of glass, four dressers, two large plate SlusS lIltbI oI sI tdDlilSI Dul- ted liquors, all of which were destroyed and two stoves. besides a quantity of furniture .~&
 Manson broke all the glass with his hands, and as result the house is cov- cred with blood.
 Manson, who has been working for the Bristol Brass and Clock company for several years. is big strspping fel- low. About two weeks ago he com menced drinking; at o'clock this morning, arrayed only in wrapper shirt and drawers, he proceeded to the hotel. With his fists he broke out 8 large plate glass In the barroom door, The rest os his work almost beggars description. This morning Constable Grove Wooster arrested Manson at his boarding house in the Stafford district.

Help the Hustlers.

If you want town, push the hus-
tier. Few towns are without men
who have more push and energy than
means to carry out their plans. Per-
haps the hustler may occasionally
make mistake, possibly he may over
reach in his efforts to build up the
town. Better thus than not to do at
all.
Ifyou have such man in town,
keep him going, help him push. He
may become weary at times and should
be encouraged.
Don't get jealous of him and throw
cold water upon his efforts. 1t is
more difficult to build than to tear
down; which is why so many are en-.
gagged in destroying what the few are
creating, A halt dozen active men
in a town are worth more than a hun.
drsd passive men. No attention should
be given the nominally rich men Of
the town; they are not usually lib
eral. 1t takes more enterprise thar
money to build upa town. Get be-
hind the hustler and keep pushing,
don't pull back, If you can't say q
good word, say nothing.

The Way to Measure q Tree.

Surprising wood-chopper in the
Maine forest is told to get out mast
for yacht. He knows that he must
find tree that is straight for sixty
feet below the branches. 1t would be
very troublesome to climb trees and
measure them with tape measure, so
he, without knowing it, uses practical
trigonometry. He measures off sixty
feet in a straight line from the tree,
and then he cuts pole, which when
upright in the ground is exactly as
tall as himself. This be plants in the
earth his own length from the end Of
the si1ty-foot mark.
For example if he is six feet tall, he
plants his six-foot pole ffty-four feet
from the tree. Then he lies down OF
his back, with his head at the end of
the line, his feet touching the pole and
sights over it. He knows that where
his eye touches the tree is almost ex-
actly sixty feet from the ground.
