The company's agent highly indignant that the police failed to make a arrest Wednesday night, and there was a stormy scene at City Hall in consequence of $530 for the alleged arrest. A mob of about $530 was arrested for the alleged arrest. A mob of about $530 was arrested for the alleged arrest of the Baltimore club at St. Louis on Thursday. The Baltimore sun, says of him: "The game between the Baltimore and St. Louis Club at St. Louis on Thursday recalled the story of a young man and Goliath. The mighty Oriole batsmen, who on the day before had smitten the nail with gigantic force as it came to the ear, said the hand of a veteran pitcher, were surprised to find themselves at the mercy of a slender youth, who laid them all low, and to this fact the Baltimore club owed their respect." The young man was Hawke, a county boy from Cecil County, Md., who made a reputation in amateur circles as a pitcher of the Elkton Club. President Abe, of the St. Louis Browns, had announced that Gleason would pitch, but the latter is suffering with a lame arm, and at the last moment Hawke was given permission to try his skill. He had applied to Baltimore Club for just such a chance, the. but the management hadn t the nerve or judgment to give him a show. In tbe games which he pitched against amateurs ft was an ordinary occurrence for Hawke to strike out from ten to twenty of his oppo nents in each game. The Baltimoresdidn’t do much better. It was thought at first * that he might last five or six innings and would then weaken, but all who thought that way had not estimated the pitcher’s skill at its full value. Everybody regretted the loss of the game to Baltimore, hut all applauded the work of the young Mary lander. He had good curves, fine speed and above all, excellent control of the sphere, and a clear head and couldn’t be rattled'.

The attendance was very creditable in point of numbers, a very large proportion of those present being ladies for whom chairs were provided. Chinese lanterns were hung from the trees, which with lanterns placed about the door of the courthouse, gave the meeting ample light. The meeting was presided over by Rev. I. L.

Brownett in Elk River, the Oliver William Grant Narrow Escapes With His Life. Four draught mines owned by W. M. Singerly, Esq., were drowned in the Elk River at the foot of Bridge at the foot of Bridge at the foot of Bridge, at noon on Saturday last. The driver, William Grant, narrowly escaped drowning. The four-horse team was engaged in hauling pulp from the Elk River works to the Providence paper mill. On that day, Grant had returned from his trip about noon, and as customary, he drove to the river for the purpose of watering and cooling the horses before they were fed. The watering place is situated on Water Street, a short distance above the bridge and between the wharves. On the bank at the waters' edge, an amount of grass and weeds has grown to a considerable height, around which the teams drove. At high tide, the water partly submerges the grass, and at this time a team can be watered without danger, it not being necessary to drive out into the stream. At this point, the bank of the river is dangerous at a short distance from shore, the declivity precipitous, suddenly changing from a depth of 3 or 4 feet to that of our 7. At the time Grant drove into the river, the tide was rather low, and it was necessary for him to head his horses well out. A team similar to his had preceded him, coming out safely. He was in the wagon driving the team by a check rein, when the lead horse made a plunge having gotten over his depth. The team became unmanageable, the lead horses drawing those following and the wagon into deep water. Grant sprang to the saddle horse and made an effort to turn the animals toward shore but without avail. He then grabbed the head of the lead horse. At this juncture, the body bolt dropped from the wagon allowing the body, to which the check rein was caught, to drift toward the middle of the river. This drew the horses together, causing them to struggle, in which they became entangled in the harness, and I sank. At this time the team was near the center of the river, and Grant unable to swim, was among the horses, strenuously striving to save himself. He had sunk twice when Captain Lindsay S. Bristol of the steam yacht "Spamle" reached him in a boat, into which he was lifted completely exhausted. Dr. Ellis was summoned and succeeded in resuscitating him, and he was then removed to his home near by. The bodies of the horses were dragged on shore, and buried on the causeway. The loss amounts to about $300. COUNTY CONVENTION Of The Third Party Prohibitionists. Pursuant to a call, the third party Prohibitionists of this county assembled in convention in Elkton on Wednesday, and elected delegates to the State and Congressional conventions which were held at Glyndon, Baltimore county, on Wednesday. The convention was held in the office of the Cecil County Agricultural Society, being called to order at 11 o’clock. County Chairman George Balderston, presided, John F. Roach acting as secretary. The representation throughout the county was small, and in point of numbers, the convention was wanting, but this deficiency was overcome by the determination manifested. Four districts were represented, the First, Third, Fifth, and Sixth. At the opening of the convention, the Rev. I. L. Wood offered prayer. Chairman Balderston then read the call, which he followed with a few pertinent remarks on the cause of the Prohibition party, as a third issue. State organizer Tucker, was then called. He spoke of the organization of the party throughout the State, and of its bright prospects in the future. Mr. Tucker explained the purpose of the State Executive Committee, and its mode of campaign, and asked that the party in Cecil contribute $100 toward the fund, which amount defrays the cost of distributing campaign literature throughout the county, and provides speakers. It was moved and carried, that the county raise the $109, and forward it to the committee. A committee consisting of one member from each election district was appointed to collect the amount as apportioned to their respective districts. The Committee as appointed was as follows: First, James Smith; Second, Joseph H. Brooks; Third, Henry Vinsinger; Fourth, Joseph Scarborough; Fifth, Rev. J. B. Jones; Sixth, Thomas J. Wilson; Seventh, Eighth, John J. Bennett; Ninth, John P. Wilson. The committee to apportion the districts: J. F. Armstrong, Rev. T. A. H. O’Brien, J. F. Roach. The election of the delegates was next in order. The following were nominated and elected by acclamation: First district, W. H. Alderson, Rev. T. A. H. O’Brien, James H. Smith; Third, E. V. Hinchliffe, Homy Vinsinger; Fourth, Joseph S. Scarborough; Fifth, John P. Roach, Henry Ruffin, colored; Ninth, Samuel D. Wilson. The delegates were instructed. Mr. Balderston desired that he be relieved of the county chairmanship. The convention was informed by Mr. Tucker that customarily, the representative of the State committee acted as county chairman. The matter of having representation in the county through the columns of some newspaper was brought before the convention. The matter was not disposed of. ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE. The Bohemians of Baltimore, visit the tomb of Augustine Hennen, on Bohemia Manor, this County. The third annual pilgrimage of the Bohemian Associations of Baltimore, to the tomb of Augustine Hennen, on Bohemia Manor, this County, was made on Sunday. The steamer “Chester” transported the excursionists, numbering about 300, who arrived at the manor at one o’clock. They were met by a large crowd. Number of Cecil Counts who had assembled, to witness the ceremonies. While lauding the band played “Maryland, My Maryland.” The excursionists formed in columns of twos and marched across the long bridge that spans Bohemia river to the old manor house, situated about a mile away on a slight elevation, in the midst of a cluster of ancient locust trees. The ladies’ section of the gymnastic association formed the advance guard of the procession. These young ladies were neatly dressed in their uniforms of blue serge and made an attractive appearance. The members of the Bohemian Gymnastic Association followed, wearing tight-fitting uniforms of blue cloth, which gave them a semi-military look. The party was met by Mr. Richard Hutchinson, custodian of the property, who, in behalf of the owner, extended a cordial welcome. The pilgrims massed about a stone which stands in an upright position against a wing of the house. This stone was the slab that at one time marked the place of Augustine Hermen's grave. He is supposed to have died in 1885, as it is on record that his will was probated in 1876. For many years the stone was knocked about the farm, until the present proprietor, Mr. R. H. Bayard, of Baltimore, had the roughly used relic rescued and placed out of harm’s way. The stone was carved by Hermen's order in London, for the purpose of marking his final resting place. On it he had this inscription placed. Augustine Henmann, the first founder, sealer of Bohemia Manor, anno, 1901. The exercises were begun by decorating this venerated stone with a wreath of evergreens surmounted by a white dove. To the wreath were appended red, white and blue silk ribbons bearing the names of the societies contributing the wreath, including that of the Augustine Hermen Lodge, C. S. B. S., of Lidgerwood, North Dakota, which sent $5 for the purpose. Alter the decoration the baud played ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner,” which it followed up with the Bohemian national air. Then Mr. V. -T. Shimek made a speech of gi eetirg, saving; “I welcome you to this historic spot, when Augus tine Hermen founded the colonial manor to which he gave the honored name of Bohemia. We hope that in a short time a monument, to wuioh all Bohe mians iu this country have been invited to contribute, will bo reared here to bis memory. Bohemians should bo proud that they have had such a man as llei meu —a man of purity of character, with patriotism. They should be j road also that he made the first map of the Stale of Maryland, the original of which is now on exhibition iu the British Mu seum, Loudon. The difficulty of tho task will be appreciated when it is recollected that iu his days there was no railroads, steamboats nor any of tbe numerous facilities for gathering topographical information such as we of this genera tiou possess. We also should be proud that he was tho first foreigner to be uatur ali/.ed in the State of Maryland. Hermen was always proud of his nativity, as is evidenced iu tho nomenclature of tho surrounding country, for hero we have Bohemia Manor. Bohemia river, Bohe mian bridge, Bohemia Mills aud so ou. He was a warm personal friend of Lord Baltimore, and this friendship was attested by the fact that Lord Baltimore granted to Hermen a tract of 41,000 acres of land. In the near future, it is possible that a Bohemian colony bill be founded on this historic spot, as already a number of Bohemian families, with this end in view, have been prospecting in this neighborhood. Other addresses were made eulogistic of the life of Hermen, and in commemoration of the loyalty of the Bohemians to American laws and customs. Several of the addresses were made in the native tongue. Letters of regret, at their inability to attend, were received from Mayor Lathrop, of Baltimore; and Mr. R. H. Bayard, the proprietor of the Manor. Port Deposit Items, Port Deposit, July 28. The invitation extended to Rev. J. T. McLean by the congregation of the Presbyterian church here to become their pastor has been declined because Mr. McLean believes that the new work inaugurated by him at Little Britain should be completed.

FARM BUS WHO USE HONK Should certainly be able to appreciate the difference between such stock as we are now grinding and the various articles that are sold under the attractive name of Bone. We earnestly and cordially invite anyone interested, to visit our factory at any hour of the day or night during the two weeks from the 23rd day of July, and they can witness the grinding of clean dry cattle bones of uniform excellent quality. We have never had such a large stack of bones of such quality and condition. We received this stock direct by vessel from South America, and it is acknowledged by the fertilizer trade generally to produce the best quality of ground bone made. We will be pleased to mail samples of our bone to farmers or dealers anywhere, and will be glad to show the stock at the factory. The uniform guaranteed analysis of Pure Raw Bone is Phosphoric Acid, 22 to 25 percent Equal to Bone Phosphate, 48 to 52 percent Ammonia, 4 to 5 percent This is the test of purity in bone. The Scott Fertilizer Co., Elkton, Mo. Coughing Lard to Consumption. Kemp's Balsam will stop the cough at once. Ask your friends about it. PROHIBITION NOMINEES.

The prohibition party of Maryland, in State Convention assembled, acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all true government and his law as the standard to which all human enactments must conform to secure the blessings of peace and prosperity; and a reaffirming our allegiance to the principles of the National Prohibition party, and pledging our loyal and hearty support to the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, John Bidwell, of California, and John B. Crantill, of Texas, as our national standard bearers for 1892, submits the following declaration of principles to the earnest consideration of the voters of Maryland: First. The liquor traffic is a foe to civilization, the great enemy of popular government and a public nuisance. It is the acknowledged citadel of the forces that corrupt politics, promote poverty and crime, degrade the nation’s home life, thwart the will of the people and deliver our country into the hands of rapacious class interests. We declare anew for the entire suppression of the manufacture, sale, importation, exportation and transportation of alcoholic liquors as a beverage by federal and state legislation, and the full powers of the government should be exerted to secure this result. Any party that fails to recognize the dominant nature of this issue in American politics cannot reasonably claim the support of good citizens. Second. That tariff should be levied as a revenue measure, and only to an amount sufficient to provide for the expense of the government economically administered, and when so levied should be applied, as far as possible, to imports from such countries as levy tariff upon or prohibit exports from this country; and, in connection therewith, we favor a gradual and equitably arranged income tax for the collection of a proper proportion of the state and national revenue as being the best method by which each citizen can bear his share of the expense of government. Third. That the circulating medium of the country may rightfully consist of gold, silver and paper. It should all be of full legal tender, and sufficient in quantity to meet the demands of business and give full opportunity for the employment of labor. Fourth. That foreign immigration has become a burden upon industry—one of the factors in depressing wages and causing discontent; therefore, our immigration laws should be revised and strictly enforced. The time of residence or naturalization should be extended, and no naturalized person should be allowed to vote until one year after he has become a citizen. Fifth. That we stand inequivocally for the American public school, and opposed to any appropriation of public moneys for sectarian schools. We declare that only by united support of such common schools, taught in the English language, can we hope to become and remain an homogeneous and harmonious people. Sixth. We believe that, a ship can connect the Chesapeake and Delaware by bringing us nearer to the ports of Europe and of our own Eastern States, would greatly increase our commerce and advance the material interests of our state. We therefore, recommend that the legislature make provision for a commission to inquire into the subject. Seventh. That the interest of the wage earners demand the restriction of child labor the working hours of women in factories, and general weekly payments of wages. Eighth. That we recognize in the violent disturbances at prominent manufacturing and industrial points in our country, the logical result of a protracted system of legislative favoritism, which by its persistent and unjust discrimination against the interests of the workman, has driven him to open revolt; and regard this condition as an additional reason for urging that differences between the employer and employee should be made the subject of arbitration, with a view of correcting and removing, if possible, the present unjust distinctions and we stand pledged as a party to the accomplishment of this result. Ninth. That all men should be protected by law in their right to one day of rest in seven. Tenth. That all official fees should be covered into the public treasury, and officials be paid reasonable salaries. Eleventh. That, in order to diminish and if possible, prevent the corrupt use of money by worthy political aspirants, we advocate the election of United States senators by a direct popular vote, instead of by the respective state legislatures as at present. Twelfth. We believe, and so advocate that the interests of good government would be subserved by so changing the law as to extend the term of office of the President of the United States from four to six years, and to make the incumbent ineligible thereafter. Thirteenth. We enter our earnest protest, together with that of thousands of our fellow citizens, against the World’s Fair Commission allowing the fairgrounds to be opened on the Lord’s Day, and permitting the sale of alcoholic liquors within said grounds on any day. Fourteenth. We arraign and condemn our last legislature for the reckless and arbitrary manner in which it repealed, at the bidding of the liquor traffic, temperance legislation of long years’ standing, in defiance of the protest of the best citizens of the respective communities—notable, Mount Airy, in Carroll county, and Ellicott City, in Howard County—as furnishing additional proof (if any were needed) of the utter futility of relying on representatives of parties pledged to the license system for temperance legislation. Fifteenth. That the light of suffrage rests on no mere circumstances of race, color, sox or nationality, and where, from any cause, it has been withheld from persons of suitable age with mental and moral qualifications for the exercise of an intelligent ballot, it should be restored by the people through the legislatures of the several states, on such educational basis as they may deem wise.
