COCKTAILS FOR THE RICH.

One of the objections to Prohibition has bee hat it makes class distinctions It is contende hat it deprives poor folks of stimuants the rave but the rich permitted their cocktails wit Id time regularity.
 The following from the Seattle Intelligence recent date would indicate that the objection Tell-founded:

 Such was the decision of New York so- cial leaders today, when confronted by a demand that they bar cocktails at their functions t
 More than a dozen matrons represent ing Park Avenue Sutton Place, and the exclusive sets in Westchester and Long Island, turned cold shoulder on the plea of Mrs George H. Strawbridge, Eastern leader of the Prohibition League that they "set an example" to hoi poloi by giving bone dry parties.
 Tt can't be done," was the reply of the four hundred to Mrs. Strawbridges letters addressed to each woman listed in the New York social register
 The famous Prohibition Easter party giv- en by Mrs. Edward B. Mclean of Wash ington newspaper account of which was enclosed in each letter aroused no enthusi- asm the part of New Yorks social mentors.
 Mrs Charles H. Sabin, National Chair man for Prohibition Reform, said
 T would not be interested in joining or forming a committee for any purpose com posed merely of women of so-called social standing"
 Mrs. Courtland Nicon wrote:
 ''The hypocrisy of these people who, while proclaimng that they wine on theirs table, permit it to be served in a side room fills me with profound disgust"

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
Final Action viii Hinge On
New Settling Pool

Associate Judge Levin w.
Wickes of the Cecil Circuit
Court, has handed down his
decision in the Injunction suit
of Emory Calvert against Geo.
A. Atkinson, following the con-
clusion of testimony.
Mr.. Calvert, claiming the
waters of Basin Run, that flow
through his property, in the
Liberty Grove section, were
made unfit for use, because of
being polluted by washings
from the gravel plant of Geo.
A. Atkinson, contractor for the
Colora-Liberty Grove road, had
had an injunction issued re-
straining Atkinson.
The defense centered about
three settling pools that had
been constructed, and the
building of a fourth one to al
low for further publication of
the water after it had passed
through the washer.
Judge Wickes in his opinoin
ruled that while an Injunction
should be granted if the stream
continues to be polluted, yet
there was a probability that
the washing machine can be
adjusted SO that the discharge
will cause no injury to the
plaintiff in his use of water,
and ordered that the injunction
be suspended from the time of
completion of settling plant
No. 4, on the LIST of September
to the 18th of Sept, 1880, at
which time the injunction will
be made perpetual, unless the
operation of said sand and
gravel washing machine shall
be conducted in such a way as
to avoid injuring the plaintiffs
rights in and to said stream.

SWEPT BY. FIRE

Large Department Store OF
Eli L. Reynolds & Son
Total Loss
Rising Sun was visited early
Monday morning by a dis
astrous fire, when the large
four story frame department.
store of Eli T. Reynolds & Son
was completely Quilted. The
stock was a total loss, and the
building badly damaged.
The fire, the origin of which
is not known, was first dis
covered by Misses Hanna and
Mabel Reynolds, whose dwell
ling is nearby. They were
awakened about 1:15 a. m. by

large plate glass window in the
rear of the store evidently hav-
ling been broken by the heat Of
the fire, which apparently
Originated in the drug depart
ment. The Misses Reynolds
gave the alarm, and the Com
munity Fire Company, of this
town, with both of it's bumpers,
was soon on the scene, and in
a very few minutes had four
streams of water playing on
the flames, which were confin-
ed to the interior of the build
ing, and after an heroic battle,
the fire was gotten under con-
troll by the firemen, who did
wonderful work and deserve
much praise for the manner in
which they fought the blaze.
At the solicitation of citizens
of the town, Oxford Fire Com
pany was called, and gave eff
ficient aid, but the fire, Chief
Donache informs us, was prac-
tically under control before
their arrival, and after a fight
of two hours was extinguished
completely.
The interior of the store,
with it's large stock of goods,
is a complete wreck, the stock
being a total loss, as that por-
ton not burned was ruined by
smoke and water.
Nothing in the Office, which
is located in the front Of the
building, on the first floor, was
damaged, all papers, etc., being
found in perfect condition.
The loss will reach fully
100000, with a total insurance
of $4,000, placed in the follow
ing companies. Mutual Insur-
ance Company, of Cecil Coun-
ty; Farmers & Mechanics, of
