Who viii Get Reward !?

Now that John Shippers has paid the
death penalty for the murder of Albert
Constable. the matter of paying the re-
ward of $1,000 offered for the conviction
Of the murderer is arousing unusual in
terest in Cecil county and other quar-
tiers. Claims for the reward have been
made by Chief Black. of Wilmington.
and by Warden John Wcyler, his claim
being filed for Louis Riggin. keeper
in the Maryland Penitentiary under
Warden Weylcr. and il is said by those
unprecedented in the matter and familiar
with the facts that the entire reward
should 90 TO Riggin. as il was entirely
through his alertness and keenness that
the Constable murder mystery was
solved, and the crime fastened on Sim
pers beyond any question of doubt
Detectives Joseph Dougherty and
Charles Weaver. who recovered Mr..
Constable's watch after it had been
pawned in Philadelphia by Shippers, and
who obtained other valuable informa-
ton and evidence which assisted in the
conviction Of Shippers, recognized Rig
gins claim to the reward and waived
any right they might have had. after
Shippers was convicted.
Chief Black 5 claim is said to be look
ed upon with disfavor by the residents
of Elkton and Cecil county. as they say
that had Chief Black displayed the
ability expected of him as a detective
chief, he would have saved Cecil county
about 5000. which it cost the county to
try the two negroes who were first ac-
cused and acquitted Of the crime Chief
Black claim for the reward is based
on the ground that his men arrested
Shippers for horse stealing. and for
which crime he was sentenced to the
Maryland penitentiary for eight years
shortly after the Constable murder was
committed.

The Snow Hill Races.

The races at Gentlemen's Driving
Park Tuesday afternoon attracted a
large crowd TO Snow Hill. several hun
dred people coming from all parts of
the county to witness the events. The
track was in fine condition. and almost
perfect weather conditions prevailed.
The event, probably, that aroused the
most interest was the colt race. Sever
al of the old horsemen said they had
never seen veterans of the track be-
have themselves better than the colts
in this rate. The understanding when
the race was gotten up was to trot the
colt race best out of 3, but as some of
the horses were disabled in the 2.25
race, several of the horses didn I appear,
and. by consent. this race was put on
for 2extra heats. Ii was finally stopped
in the 4th heat on account of darkness.
The summary of the races is as fol-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumblng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
~ closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A GOOD, CLEAN BALLOT!
Attorney General Bryan Says The Ballot
To Be Voted In Worcester County Is
All Right.

An omission was made in preparing
the official ballot for this county of the
word Constitutions" in the words
For Constitutional Amendment and
against Constitutional Amendment. y
AS soon as the discovery was made the
matter was submitted to Attorney
General Bryan. He said the omission
was an honest one. and he did not think
it would make any difference.
The Supervisors want the ballots
right and they were ordered corrected
in accordance with the law.
Acknowledgement Bryan told one OF
the editors of the MESSENGER that Wor-
cester had a good, clean ballot. He had
no objection to the black line at the
head of each group, as il served as a
guide for the illterates of all parties.
No one denies the right of the dominant
party to first place. 1t was so when
party emblems were used and the very
object of the Wilson law was to restore
the privilege.
The Baltimore Ners, itself full Of
tricks and disreputable practices, is
endeavoring To raise hue and cry
against the ballots prepared in the
counties having the Wilson law. but il
is done in the interest of the Republi-
can party and no one is paying attention
to its vaporings.

Good News From Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2d.
Els. Wesscagcr- letter is sent to
you with the purpose of providing truth
full words OF encouragement for our
friends in the country. Baltimore City
is alive for the Amendment. There is
a complete revolution in sentiment in
our favor. Our enemies are desperately
alarmed about Baltimore City. They
are beginning TO fear that the city is
going to give substantial majority for
the Amendment.
The Amendment Committee is encour-
aged to point of citation. The trend
of sentiment is strongly in our direction.
The recent frost of the Anti-Amcnd-
ment meeting at the Lyric has demon
strated that the opposition is limited
not general. We have knowledge Of
thousands of Republicans who are for
the Amendment.
The white mans triumph is coming
Tell the people in the county to line up
for good results. Baltimore City is now
cheering for the Amendment.
Yours truly,

Asylum Is Crowded.

The eighth biennial report of the
state hospital for the insane at James
town shows there were 462 patients
2S5 men and III women. Twenty-sey-
en- patients were transferred to the
institution for feeble-minded at Graf
ton the past year. The per capita cost
for the biennial period was $17O.38 a
year. including the salaries of officers,
which, until this time has been paid
out of tile general fund.
Supt. Moore says that the greatest
need of the institution is additional
room for women patients, many of
whom have been turned away. For
four years there has been no admit
lance of women except such as seemed
imperatively to demand treatment in
the hospital.
The steward of the institution rec.
ommends the purchase of 800 addition
al acres of land. He would seed 200
acres each year to wheat and 100 acres
to bronze grass, crops which are not
now cultivated, owing to the small
ness of the farm.

CONGRESS-.
House Begins Debate on Bill to Reg.
ulate Ereiuht Rates.

Washington, Feb. o. Following
weeks of hearings and consideration
by the committee or interstate and
foreign commerce as well as urgent
recommendations of the president on
the subject, the house of representa-
tives yesterday began debating the
proposed legislation looking to the
regulation Of railway freight rates.
This action was taken only after de-
termined opposition by the Demo-
Gratis, led by John Sharpe Williams Of
Mississippi, the minority leader, to
the adoption of rule which would
shut out the opportunity to amend
the bill. Two Republicans, Messrs.
Southwicll and Vreeland of New
York, voted against the rule, and one
Democrat, Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee,
voted for it. Otherwise party lines
were tightly drawn.
Messrs. Townsend of Michigan, one
OF the authors of the bill under con-
sideration, and Richardson (Ala.) &C.
cupied the remainder of the day in
discussing i, 10Th sounding a note of
warning to the railroads that unless
they joined hands with congress in
the matter the people would demand
more drastic legislation.
The long drawn out general debate
on the bill creating two states out of
the Territories of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory and New Mexico and
Arizona, was concluded yesterday
with a speech by Mr.. Beveridge
which consumed the greater part of
the days session.
The only other important business
OF the day was the receipt through
the house managers of the houses
