WANT TO BE U. S. SENATOR.

Hon. Joshua Frederick Cocky Talbot,
the Baltimore county boss, is not the
only Democrat turning longing eyes
upon the senatorial toga when it shall
fall from the shoulders of the venerable
Senator Whyte. Hon. Joshua w. Miles
announces his candidacy for the high
station, and Ex-Governor..Brown. while
not avowedly a candidate, admits that
he would like to go to the Senate.
Of the three Mr. Miles is undoubtedly
best fitted to represent the State in the
Upper House of Congre IS, the only OBJ
lection tolhim, from Republican stand
point, being that he is a rockribbed
Democrat of so pronounced a type that
it would take something more heretical
and dangerous than the free silver craze
to induceghim to desist from active and
vigorous support of his party.
All the gentlemen named seem to
take it for granted that the next legis-
lature will contain a sufficient number
of Democratic members to insure the
election of Democrat as Senator
Whyte's successor. In that, however,
they may be mistaken and, if SO, it will
be decidedly to the advantage of the
people of Maryland, and of the whole
country, by contributing to the main
tenance of the Republican majority in
the Senate.

accounts of it from Cleveland, GAINESVILLE
and other places where the fruit was
badly injured and the young corn des-
troyed. "
By June II word had r ..chc1 this city
from Pittsburg of great damage done in
that vicinity, and the Enquirer Of that
date carried the following ext.act from
the Pittsburg Dispatch: "F. ait is SER
lously damaged by heavy frost on Sun
day night. An extensive grower of
grapes in this vicinity estimates his loss
at $1,000 Another, residing near East
Liberty says his apples and peaches are
mainly, if not completely, llined. The
apples were frozen at the stems and
dropped off by thousands when touched
by the sun. On the south side of the
river the gentleman describes the coun-
try as having the appearance of land
scorched by fire, so severe was the
frost.
This wave of cold seems to have
crossed the mountains and extended to
the Atlantic Coast. An editorial in the
Enquirer of Sunday, June II, says: eve
have accounts from Philadelphia and its
vicinity of another severe frost which
was experienced on the night of June 1O
doing much damage to fruits aud crops.
Before these late disastrous frosts there
was every indication of the most abund-
ant harvest the country has seen for
for years. The damage they have done
is incalculable.
The same day appeared clipping from
the Advertiser, OF Rochester, N. Y,
which after reciting the heavy frost and
general damage, described some of the
efforts which had been made to protect
flowers and tender plants. 1t said 1.-THE
paper and cloths with which the plants
were covered took the dew, froze solid,
and become sheets of Ice around the
tender plants"

said that the day before twas so colo

SLOPPY WEATHER.
PrOsnoSticator Smith Promises PIE nty
of Moisture for June.

June is likely to continue wet, with
an increase in the vigor of rainfall in a
number of sections Of the country.
However, this order of rainfall will
change after the end of the solstice
periods. Local droughts will follow in
a great number of sections, both in the
west and south, and in parts favored
with moisture too much is likely to pre-
vail for agricultural purpose to secure
all the crops.
As a general characteristic of the
solstice period of the clouds are more
heavily charged with electricity. Winds
of much force will prevail in some local
tiles and local downpours, and floods
confined to limited districts. The tenn
peratue will be fluctuating till after the
middle of the month-hot and cold
waves will play on the meteorology
through most of the month.
The first storm period of June will be
central on or touching the 4th. A hot
wave will denote the oncoming period
of disturbance, which will discharge
rain, hail, and also high winds will pre-
vail. Clearing and cooler weather will
follow about the 5th.
On or about the 9th more rain will de-
velop, which is not likely to be general,
however The portions touched bv it
will have vigorous showers and the
clouds heavily charged with electricity.
The 18th or 14th will pass into very
hot wave, which will prove the most
vigorous wave of the month, with rain
hail, wind and much electric display.
The meteorology will clear about the
18th, bringing bracing and cleared
meteorology.
About the 2lst or 22d a local rair
wave will develop of much vigor caus
ing local floods, storms of wind. anC
much thunder and lightning.
The last storm period of the month
will appear about the 9th.

DRIVING CAT OUT OF ATTIC
Oscar Heat Caused Powder Explosion
Which rIay be Fatal TO Him.

Oscar Neat, aged II years, a son of
Noah Neat, miner, living in Garrett
county, about mile and a half from
Barton, was probably fatally burned by
the eXplc ion of can Of powder at his
home Friday evening at Z O'Clock.
Young Neat, who is employed at the
Caledonia stables, upon returning home
from work discovered a cat in the attic of
his home. He lit a match in an endeavor
to find the animal to chase it out and in
some manner the lighted match ignited
powder that had been spilled on the
floor, which acting as a fuse to the
powder can nearby exploding it, setting
fire to the house and burning it to the
ground with all its contents. Young
Meats injuries are very serious and he
was taken to the Western Maryland
Hospital Saturday morning. He is the
second son of a large family of children,
but the other children escaped injury.
Mr.. Neat, ST., was in Homecoming at
the time of the accident and did not ar
rive home until several hours after the
explosion. The young man was taken
to the home of George Langham where
his injuries were dressed. The remain
der Of the homeless family are being
cared for at the home of Mr.. VIM.

GARLANDS FOR SOLDIERS GRAVES

Memorial Day was generally observed
throughout the country with appropriate
exercises and flowers were placed upon
the graves of the Union dead by their
surviving brethren. 1t is a beautiful
custom to thus remember those brave
men who in the hour of their country's
need did their duty as they saw it and
laid down their lives in supporting the
Union. In this day all are agreed that
the preservation of the Union was worth
all it cost in Human blood and treasure
but there is a growing iberality of
thought toward those who fought on the
Confederate side, for they too fought
for what they believed in and in many
thousands of cases out of loyalty to their
State government after it had seeded.
Devotion to duty, personal honor and
herosim is the common heritage of
Americans and was richly exemplifedi in
the war between the States.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

The prevailing talk about late frosts
and damaged crops was brought up to
an interesting point on the floor of
change yesterday thoughithe recalling
by James A. Loudon, one of the oldest
active grain merchants in the city, of
the of the destructive frost which visit
ed this country on May II, 1859, Just
forty-eight years ago yesterday.
There are few who recall that frost, ;
he said, but | have very distinct re-
collection of it. That season, or spring
like the present one, had crops and pro-
duce coaxed out early with mild, warm
weather. Then came a sudden turn to
cold, which resulted in the blighting
frost of as years ago to-day. From
the Mississippi river east, and you must
remember there was nothing West at
that time to amount to anything. crops
were blighted. Prices jumped with
leaps and bounds, ..and flour was shipped
from Philadelphia to Pittsburg and from
NewYork to Buffalo. Farmers, think
ing that their crops had been ruined,
went into the market and bought flour.
remember having an order for 200
barrels of flour, which | sold at profit
fS1.50 barrel. After the excitement
had died down there came a period of
excellent growing weather and crops
were resown.
The frost of May II was not the last
for that season. On June 5 there was
a heavy frost, and the river column OF
the Enquirer referred to it as follows

left the impression that even the most
vigorous fruit must have been DESTROY.
