A Disastrous Fire.

A stable belonging to Judge George
G. Merrick, was totally destroyed by
fire early Sunday morning, causing a
loss of about 81 200. with an insurance
of $3.50 on the building.
Two horses were burned to death in
their stalls, while third was so badly
burned that it will probably die, also
100 barrels Of corn; St tons of hay, car
riage, buggy, sleigh, harness, feed, etc.
but for the barking of bird dog, which
aroused the Judge, eight horses that
were in the stable would undoubtedly
have persisted.
Hastily DOMINIC some clothes he
aroused his son, Mr.. George B. Merrick
rushed to the burning stable and sue
ceeded in releasing six CT the horses, at
the risk of being severely burned, as the
fire was falling from the hay loft, VIII ere
it started. The horse that wss badly
burned, burst out of the stable wher
the Judge opened the door, with its
name and tail on fire, crazed with fright
and pain. 1t ran through heavy
hedge fence and over a brick pile ad
ding many cuts and bruises TO its char
red body.

Treating Fence Posts.

The MARYLAND Experiment Station has
lust made arrangements with the Unit
ed States Forest Service to erect tim
Der preserving plant at the Station,
near College Park, for treating fence
posts with creosote or other preserVa
tives is a practical thing has been
proven beyond doubt, but in order
that the farmers Of Maryland may have
practical demonstration OF the pro-
cess used, and the results to be obtained,
this plant has been installed at the
State Experiment Station. The differ
ent common woods like pine. gum,
birch, sycamore, poplar, hickory, maple,
ash, beech, pin oak, black oak, ETC.,
will be treated and set in line OF
fence with some of our more durable
woods, without treatment, such as
locust, cedar or chestnut. 1t has been
demo nstrated elsewhere that treated
pine, or pin oak will last as long as an
untreated locust, cedar or chestnut post.
1t costs less that ten cents to treat
each post with creosote and pine post
costing, say five cents, and treated for
ten cents, or less, will last as long as an
untreated cedar post costing from
twenty to thirty cents, there is consider
able saving in fence building.
The farmers of the State are invited
to inspect this plant and to bring in
fence pos to be treated at a cost which
will not exceed ten cents each.

A Letter.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: On the
18th of May next the people of Prince
Georges County shall decide whether
saloons shall longer be licensed in our
midst.
The issue is not total abstinence,
not high license, not restrictive regula-
ton but the alternative of the bad sa-
loon or no saloon.
Were the saloons, or even majority
of them, in this county, conducted after
decent fashion, this fight would fail
to appeal to many of our people.
There are some who desire the privi-
lege of taking drink, more who are
reluctant to deny to others what they
do not use themselves, still more who
would hesitate to sweep away that
which has been an established insti-
tuition and in which the money Of some
of our citizens is invested, without
strong reason.
But lives there a man, in Prince
Georges County, who is familiar with
the saloon business, as conducted in
our midst, who knows of the frequent
sale to minors, intoxicated persons and
on SUNDAYS; who knows our saloons to
be loafing places of men who would
otherwise be at work, place for the
gambling away of small earnings, a
place, in some instances Of notorious
designation who can honestly say to
himself that our county is better with
these saloons than without them?
Is there an intelligent farmer in
Prince Georges County who does not
know that our bad saloons have ruin
ed labor and thus made efficient it not
impossible a prosperous agricultural
community.
Is there worse enemy to the colored
man, to his peaceful and industrious
condition?
Does any decent, self-respecting man
claim that the saloons in
Bladensburg are benefit in the
drunkenness, disorder and discrediting
reputation as spread abroad?
Finally, knowing the conditions in
our county and having but one choice
when We vote on May 18th, will any
man, with even lingering spark of
of righteousness in his breast, vote for
the saloon?

federate soldier, died at his home, 10s
West Lanvale street, Baltimore, Mon
day night of apeplexy.
His death was unexpected, IS only :
few minutes before the end came h.,
wife had been conversing with him an
bad read aloud some. of his favoiii'
poems.
About 10 o'clock he went upstairs,
leaving his wife below Hearing hin
cough, Mrs. Bowie went upstairs anC
noted nothing alarming in his condition
She had been with him but few min
utes when he suddenly said:
Il feel as if l were dying. Get doc

but when they returned Col. Bowie haC

During the Civil War Colonel Bow;t

In MenlOriam.

In loving remembrance of my dear
father Columbia F. Connick who depar-
ted this life eight months ago.
Home is lonely, Oh God how drcary
Lonely lonesome every spot;
Listening for his voice till weary
Weary, for hear it not.
In far off, distant grave yard,
Where the trees their branches wave,
Lies my beloved father
In the cold and silent grave,
Mourn not for him oh lionel hearts
But for yourself be sad
To you is left the bitterness
To him all things are glad.
Father could you speak to me,
And could you live again.
My aching heart would then be he aled
But this | wish in vain.
By his daughter Nellie Barry.

Four Hundred Thousand Saved

In reference to the veto Of many
items in the Appropriation Bill Govern
or Crothers said:
II have simply made an effort to re-
| deem the pied ges which l made in deal
ing with this matter, as well as to graft
fly my own judgment.
"My experience in the Legislature
heretofore gave me some insight lite
matters along this line, and might say
that in withholding my approval from
several of the amounts in the appropri-
alton bills and reducing the appropria-
ton in other cases I have saved to the
people of the State upward of 100000,
without, in my opinion, impairing any
of cur educational or charitable institu-
ito ms. On the contrary, SO far as the
maintenance of these institutions is
eDcerned, very substantial increases
have been made. 1 have made the re-
auctions very largely in tn e sums asked
for buildings.
LAS have heretofore said, this whole
question of appropriations to these in
stitutions requires most serious consid-
GRAFTON by our people. Some method
by which the mattsr can be dealt with
on business principles should be devils
ed, and this was the object 1 had in
view in appointing commission to take
the whole subject up and report to the
next Legislature.
1.-The appropriation of large sums of
money by the State to construct build
ings on land to which the State has no
title and NJ control needs only to be
stated to be disapproved by the people.
There is nothing to prevent the person
or associations having title to the
ground to close up and dispose of the
property without the State being able
to force the payment of the money
which it as appropriated.
"When we consider tn at the authori-
ties and officers in charge of our system
of free public schools were unable to
secure the money required to have made
the improvements which they request
ed when they are, in fact, entitled to
the first considerations upon the part
of the State, the giving of increased APP
pr opriation to the private educational
institutions could not have been justi-
fed, and the financial condition of the
State is such as not to warrant so large
an increase this year-a year OF some
what unsettled financial conditions.
81 have tried to do the best I could
in the intere SITS Of those whose servant
1 am and feel confident that the result
will be accepted in the same spirit
which led to these reductions.
eve must not forget that the money
esked for and appropriated belongs to
the people and is taken out Of their
pockets by the State in the way OF
taxes, and we are but trustees for the
people to see to it that it is not ex-
travagantly expended or taken from
the public treasury for purposes other
than that which W euld not subserve the
public interest.
