Painted the Town Red.

One of the most disorderly crowds that
has visited our town for number OF
wears came out from Frederick, it is said,
fifty strong, on pair Of hay carriages
last Friday night and painted the town
red. They yelled, blackguardcd and die
almost everything that was mischievous
and in some cases went beyond that linn
it. They did not arrive until TO- 3oo'clock.
All that they did would not be fit to print
and we wonder just what the parents of
some of the girls in this crowd would
have said had they seen and heard all
that we cannot, for decency's sake, pub
lish here. Woodsboro Banner.

Fever In Cattle Reported.

The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
was informed on Monday that "tick fe-
yer" in cattle had appeared in Maryland,
It is said it is the first time in the past
IS years that this disease, which is much
dreaded by farmers, has been discovered
here. For many years the United States
authorities have been expanding large
sums Of money in trying to stamp out
this contagion, and anumberof the States
have for many years issued quarantine
regulations against the importrtion of
cattle within the zone where it is said
this fever has its origin.
The disease is said to be located in Har-
ford and Carroll counties, and that the
cattle so affected were purchased 10 days
ago in Missouri, and when they arrived
here they were accompanied by clean
bill Of health after an inspection had
been made Of the animals il the State in
which they were purchased.
Tick fever is communicated to the
animal by tick which adhcre3 to them,
being in appearance not unlike the large
tick which sometimes fastens upon hunt
ing dogs. The animal, when attacked,

death results in a few hours. Sun.

&. Y. r, r. Offices.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says: "1n
the near future the general freight Off
ces of the c. V. Railroad. now located in
this place, may be removed to layers
town. The officials will not say much
regarding the report concerning the re-
lnoval, but it is understood that it has
been under discussion for some time.
"The Offices were removed 20 this city
from Chambersburg some years ago III
order to be near the Reading headQuar-
ters, which company was at that time a
bitter competitor for freight traffic. Re-
Gently the Reading and c. V. Railrord
companies have been working hand in
hand ard there is no longer any conpe-
tition. However, the Wabash is making
u fight to secure some of the business
now handled by these companies, and it
is the opinion that to have the offices at
Hagerstown would be more advantageous
as each of these towns are distributing
points for the w. M. Railroad, which is
controlled by the Wabash and furnishes
an outlet to Baltimore and eastern cities
for freight traffic"

Truce Declared by Palma.

HAVANA, Sept. 16.-A truce was
,hicially proclaimed by the Admins
tration this afternoon, in a decree
signed by President Palma and Senior
Montalvo, Secretary of the govern
ment. All the loyal troops were no
tified to stop the campaign and re-
main on the defensive. Announce
mcnt was made that prominent Lib
erals arrested for completely in the
revolution will be freed as soon as
possible with proper legal form.
Senior Montalvo admitted negotiations
were pending for compromise. This
agreement virtually ends the rcvolu-
ton, so far as the government can
answer for it.-Sun.

Judge Alvey ~ Dead.

Judge Richard Henry Alvey, for years
chief judge of the Maryland Court Of APP
peals, later chief justice OF the District
OF Columbia Court of Apacals, and rec
ognized az one of the most eminent jur-
lists in the State of Maryland, died at 7
O'Clock Friday evening, September IA,
at his home on Prospect street, Hagers-
town. The immediate cause OF death
was enlargement Of the liver, brought
about by severely twisting his body while
alighting from a carriage several weeks
ago. While i'll for the past week, the
condition of Judge Alvey seemed inprcv-
ed, and members Of his family felt that
he was on fair way to recovery. Fri
day about noon he was seized with q
fainting spell, and from that time OH his
condition grew rapidly worse, there be-
ing little or no response on the part OF
his system to the efforts of the physicians
il attendance. His advanced oge and
weak heart worked against his recovery.
He was in his eighty-frst year.
