Smith. The lightning run to Philadelphia was made without a hitch, and the train stopped at the elegant new station at the corner of Chestnut and 24th streets. in Phil- adelphia, just a haif minute ahead of the sche- duled time of three hours. The road-bed is extremely even, and notwithstanding the high rate of speed the elegant car rolled along with searcely & jar. The hington excursionists were entertained in Philadelphia by a sump- tuous banquet at the Aldine in the afternoon, and returned on the train leaving Philadelphia at 7 o'clock, reaching Washington at 11 o'clock. Two trains from Washington make the run to Philadelphia in three hours—one starting at8:15 a.m.,and the other at4:20p.m. Thetrain which leaves Philadelphia at 8:30 a.m. makes the run to Washington in the same time. — Transfers of Real Estate.

Correspondence of Taz Evento Stan. . Rocxviixz, The general gathering and housing of the corn crop of this county was finished last week, the late maturing of the grain having been caused by the wet weather during the latter partof the season. The crop is reported as above the average and the quality as A No. 1. piney Es d be taken from the farm of Judge Wm. Veirs Bouic, who raised from 60 acres 720 beret hing average of 12 barrels per acre, on land which a ry Par ago would have been considered dear at _ acre, but which now would readily bring #100. Other farms in the county have made the same, if not better, average per acre. This, in connection with the more than average crop of wheat and rye during the past has in- dueed our farmers to put ina large area for nextyear. Lands which have not beencropped for years are being made ready and plo for spring crop, and it is estimated that the corn crop planted next will be the largest for many years. The good crop and better prices realized during the year have lent an im- petus to the farming interest, the good effects of which are seen in the number of fine resi- dences and farm buildings which are being erected in the county. The sales of suburban real estate in the county have been somewhat retarded in the portion adjoining the District by the change of administration and the uncertainty of perma- nent employment by persons who depend on office for the payment on real estate purchased. This unsettled state of affairs will probably continue until after the 4th of March, when the Policy of the new administration is devgloped. In Rockville during the past building season many new residences have been built, mostly | by persons who have permanent positions in e army and navy and by county — who have means. The character of the buildings is modern in he fa and has caused an impetus to | be developed in favor of that class of houses. | Old and dilapidated buildings. whose corner | stones were laid from eighty to one hundred years ago, are now being replaced by handsome | residences of tasteful design and with modern improvements, and the town is rapidly assum- | ing the appearance of the finest suburban town of the national capital. A rather singular instance of the develop- ment of the faculties of the deaf and dumb has been shown in this county within the past week. A son of Mr. Elgar Tschiffely, aged nineteen, who was born deaf and dumb, and who has for several years been a pupil at the state deaf and dumb asylum at Frederick, where he showed remarkable progress, al- though he appears as deaf as ever, his parents have hopes of his final recovery. Mr. John P. Sellman, of this county, has re- covered $1,400 for the loss of his racing mare, La Claire, in the New York courts. The mare was leased for her racing qualities to Caldwell | & Bummell, at Brighton Beach, by Jas.

Presidency. A REPORT THAT CHARLES F. MAYER WILL SUCCEER PRESIDENT SPENCER. It is reported that Charles F. Mayer will suc- ceed Mr. Samuel Spencer as president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The directors of that company will meet December 19 to organ- ize and elect a president for the ensuing year. The salary of the president is $25,000 a year. The Baltimore Sun of to-day saya: It is un- derstocd that since the stockholder directors were elected they have left President Spencer severely alone so far 18 earns to him as the head of the big railroad corporation their business confidences. | Mr. Mayer, in answer to the direct leading inquiry by a reporter of the Sun, said: “The changes in the board will not affect the status of Mr. Spencer. He will be re-elected, and it is a surprise to me that a differentrumor should have been started. Mr. Spencer was advised of the changes before they were made public.” Since this statement, however, these reports have got abroad. President Spencer answers the question as to whether he will be re-elected with: “Ido not know. How could I? That is the business of the board.” Whether Mr. Spencer feels safe or not he is too politic to say, but numbers of his well-wishing friends are not happy over it. One of them says: “In my opinion Mr. Mayer will certainly be elected to succeed Mr. Spencer, who has made a good president, and the change will not help to popularize the company. ‘Their present trent- ment of Mr. Spencer is shamefi But there is litile doubt that this change is part of the | program.” As Mr. Mayer is a director of | the company, his piace in the board, if he is | elected president, will be filled by some one else. The rumor ‘is that Mr. James Frick, a | brother of Mr. Wm. F. Frick, is booked for | that place as director, and that Mr. Robert | Garrett will be returned to the board by an- other vacancy which will be created by a resig- nation, ————~+00_____ Eprror MacMintan Dzap.—Alerander R.
