Polk on Ninth Ballot.

1t seemed. however as though he was
almost universally recognized as the only
man to pacify the warning factions and
lead the democrats TO success, for on the
ninth ballot there was a. stampede in his
favor The vote on this ballot stood,
FOLK, 2S5 Cass. ~, and Van Buren,, 2.
so sudden was the change that the
democratic leaders in Washington, who
received the news by telegraph over the
hrst commercial wire between Washing
ton and Baltimore. refused to believe he
had been nominated. The wires between
Baltimore and Washington had been COM
pieted only day before the convention
opened. and the democratic leaders took
the ground that the clicking instruments
Were fake.
The news however. was later confirmed
ny mail. and in the election following,
FOLK swept his party to victory

Van Buren, in the Lead.

There were 267 delegates to the con-
vention, and in order to secure the nomi-
nation Van Buren, needed IT'S votes. On
the first ballot he secured LAG votes to

ballot Van Buren, secured 127 votes. Cass

On the third ballot Van Buren's vote

101 votes.
On the seventh ballot Gen Cass of
Michigan took the lead with 123 votes,
with Van Buren, next with 80 and
Buchanan and Johnson bringing up the
rear with 20 and II votes, respectively.
At this time Van Buren's waning power
before the national body and Cass' corre-
spending gains seemed to indicate that
the latter would be the democratic presi-
Dental nominee On the eighth ballot,

Polk had not been even talked for the
presidency until after the opening of the
convention. but a few of his friends had
previously urged his nomination as can
didate for the vice presidency The ap-
pearance of his name on the right ballot
was therefore a considerable SURPRISE

May Not Have Encampment.

officers and soldiers of the Virginia
militia are much disturbed over the re-
port from Washington that unless there
is special legis alton in short time
there will be no encamprnent OF the state
troops at Mount Gretna this year. A
telegram to the adjutant general says
that such is the condition of affairs due
10 the refusal of the President to APP
prove che appropriation bill which con-
tains the reference 10 Gen. Wood and
for his reduction in rank or retirement.
The appropriation for the army is con-
tanned in that same bill. and as the
President has disapproved there Is no
way TO get the money unless by special
aet of Congress.
This is a great disappointment TO the
soldiers, many of whom had already
made arrangements TO spend their yaca-
ton in going 10 Mount Gretna for a
stay Of week and then going 10 other
places for another week. This comes
at a time, too, when the large corpora
tons and the railroads had agreed TO let
their men go TO the encampment. and IL

Mix Up Over Marriage License

a Wilmington reporter gives the fol-
lowing interesting account of how
things got somewhat mixed when Elk
ton parties started out to get married
in Wilmington last Saturday:
An amusing incident occurred On SAT-
urday evening in the office of local
magistrate. Early in Che evening Louis
Vansant, aged 80 years, and Edith Yer
non Brown, 81, both of Elkton, Md, came
to this city to be married. They went
to the residence of Rev. l.. +. Poole,
pastor of Epworth VI. Z. Church, to have
the ceremony performed, but mad not
secured a marriage license before going
there. AS they were in a hurry 10 be
married and to get back to Elkton be-
fore it stormed Mr.. Poole told the young
man to leave Miss Brown a, the parson-
age while he went to magistrates
Office to egt the necessary license. The
young man did SO, but before leaving
for the magistrates Office the minister
called up the magistrate by telel hons
and told him that there would be a
young man there in a few minutes to
get marriage license, and that he was
in a hurry.
a few minutes later young man en-
tered the magistrates office ana upon
approaching the desk the magistrate i'm
mediately administered to him the oath
which is required by law to be admins
tered to a person applying for mar
riage license. Next the magistrate be-
gai, to ask the young man the customary
questions After asking his name, his
residence, The name of his parents, his
occupation, and a few other questions,
he asked thin the name of the young
woman, meaning the one he was going
to marry. To this question the young
man replied, do you mean my wife?''
The magistrate then said, "No, ] mean
the young woman you are going to
marry." This answer somewhat startled
the young man and he replied, Il am al
ready married; | came here to pay bill,
my wages having been attached The
| magis rate noticed that he hal made o
| mistake; that the young man he wal
| talking to was not the one who desired
| a marriage license. few minutes later
the right young man entered the magis-
| trate's office and secured the necessary
| license and a short time later the cere-
mony was performed and hel it the city

Driving Accident

Harry Cleaves, of Elkton, driving
team hired from Thomas Harlan's livery,
was mixed up in bad driving accident
on the road from Newark to Roseville,
Sunday evening last. His team, while
racing on the macadam road, collided
with carriage in which lir. ana MRS. l.
G. Stelle were returning from Newark,
tearing two wheels off the latter's We
hicle and throwing both Mr.. and Mrs
Stelle to the gre cund, injuring Mrs. Stelle
severely.
Wien Mr.. Stelle's carriage was struck
the horse attached to the colliding We
hicle broke loose and ran through the
streets of Newark, dragging part of the
single tree back of it. The gates of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad crossing hap
pened to be down, but this did not stop
the animal as he went through the
gates, breaking one of them. The horse
continued to run out the Telegraph road,
through Appleton, and later word was
received that he had been caught in
Kemblesville, six miles away.

Hog Cholera is existing to quite a seri-

this terrible enemy to our Hog Stock,
has bought a small quantity of Hog
Cholera Serum, which it will supply to
the farmers free upon the condition that
it is administered promptly as the State
Veterinarian may direct by a competent
party. Hog cholera serum loes not cure
the disease but has proven efficacious as
a preventive. Due caution should De used
in buying and selling hogs while the

cerning the laws of this subject will be
cheerfully supplied by the Board.
