The annual award of the Washington High school scholarships have been determined, the pupils receiving these honors having the highest percentages in scholarship: The Columbian university scholarship has been awarded to Miss M. C. Priest, of the third year academic section, she having obtained the highest percentage (93.7) for the three years’ course. This is the first time a young lady has received this distinction. The Georgetown medical scholarship was given to Mr. A. L. Howard, of the third year scientific ection, as he had the best percentage for the three years of those who desired this scholarship. The national medical scholarship was awarded to Mr. W.S. Thomas, of the third-year seientitic class, upon the same basis as the above. The Cornell scholarship was awarded to the applicant making the highest mark in a com- etitive examination held June 1, 1889. Mr. Emory Wilson, of the third-year academic sec- tion, was the successful candidate. The Dickinson college scholarship was awarded to Mr. H. E. Hinman, of the third- Fear scientific class, he having the highest record, both in scholarship and general bear- ing of the competitor —— IN WESTERN MARYLAND. The Condition of the Canal—Locusts in the Peach Belt—The Bicycle Meet. Correspondence of Tux EVENING STAR. Hacerstows, June 17. Dr. C. W. Chancellor, secretary of the Mary- land state board of health, was in Hagerstown Saturday, returning to Baltimore from an in- spection of the sanitary condition of places bordering o: the canal. He reports a bad state of affairs, and says prompt and active measures must be taken to prevent sickness. Poois of stagnant water, full of decaying vege- table and animal matter, are turninga dangerous green. This is the condition at Williamsport, but points further down the canal are even worse. Williamsport has been aroused to her danger and has a force of thirty men at work trying to break so as to get a flow of water part of the canal skirting the town. ueelior bad an interview he or Edmund Stake, of this county, with .refe ¢ to the matter. These two gentlemen will attend the meeting of the canal directors to be held at Georgetqwn on Wednesday. and urge the beard to flood the canal as far as possible so as to take away the dangers that are now threatened. SUFFERERS WHO W: In the distribution of contributions for Mary- land sufferers by the flood one locality has been sadly overlooked. It embraces the territory 's Ferry bridge. on the Mary- river, to the mountain lock of In the locality named there are repair the canal. about thirty families, all of whom were de- pens nt upon the canal for means of support. sides being bereft of their occupation they lost their little homes and all of their earthly possessions. The only financial aid these peo- ple have received was $75 contributed by resi- dents of this place. Under a misapprehension upon the part of some the goods imtended for the canal sutferers were shipped to Harper's Ferry, consigned to the mayor of that place, and many of them never reached the Mary- ders, but were distributed to the Virginians. ‘Tux Sran’s correspondent. in the early part of last week, visited Sandy Hook, and found the state of affairs as above described. In com- pany with Mr. Albert Spencer, of that place, of the relief committee, THz Stan man visited larper’s Ferry, and found in the depot and ex- press offices ten barrels and boxes consigned as heretofore mentioned. Mr. Spencer and Your correspoudent immediately took posses- sion of these goods, had them conveyed to Maryland, and personally distributed the same to the needy and suffering. This is the only relief these peeve have received, and up to the date of the incident related many of them had not eaten a mouthful of meat for eight days, and their appeals to be furnished with some was pitiful. RAISING MONEY TO REPAIR ROADS. The county commissioners have made the tax levy for 1889, placing the rate at 86 cents on the $100 for county purposes and 17% for state, making a total of 103%. This is bigher than for years past, but a special levy of 14% cents for funds to repair the roads and bridges dam- aged by the flood accounts for the increase. ‘The assess. ble basis of the county is $18,475,443, and this spec ‘al levy on this amount will real- ize £27.251.28 for the roads aud bridges—not half enough to meet the amount, but sufficient, itis believed, to make the most important pas- sable. leaving it for future levieq for fund to complete the work. The repairs tothe main line of the Western Maryiaud railroad. made necessary by the re- cent flood, were completed Saturday. and train service bas been restored, JOHN BROWN RELICS SPARED. A John Brown relic, a large cast-iron stove which he used up to the day of his ever-mem- orable raid. and which has been in Specer’s ware- house ou the Maryland side of the river oppo- site Harper's Ferry for several years, has been saved. It lies high and dry up the mountain, where it lodged when the store went to pieces, in fact. it is the only thing that was in it at the time that was saved. Another remarkable fact is that while the flood played havoc on the Vir- ginia side John’s “old fort” remains intact and Stands there as of yore as if defying the ele- Mments and al! mankind, LOCUSTS AHEAD OF TIE. The mountains of Blue Ridge sumamet, in which ix embraced the great peach belt of this county, is alive with locusts; in fact, millions ofthem. Thi. ~isitation is not uncerstood by our people. who have been firm believers in the reputed custom of this insect, namely, a Teturn after a good sleep of seventeen years, As this variety appeared four years ago the people are non-piassed at the present visita- tion, and exhibit concern for the peach or- ebards in that locality, great damage being anticipated in case the locusts make an attack upon the trees as they want to do. THE WHEELMEN'S MEET. From present indications it is believed there Will be 1.700 wheelmen here at the great league meet July 2,3and 4 One hundred and five were registered in one day last week and ac- commodations secured for them. The Wash- ington clubs will be quartered at the Hotel Hamilton. Nineteen of the swiftest flyers in the country have entered for the races, and they will have quarters assigned at a private Dboarding-house near the fair grounds, where the trials of speed will take place. The half- mile track is being put in excellent condition and fast time can be expected. B. — p Montgomery County, Md., Notes. jorrespondence of Tux EVENING STAK. Rockvitie, June 17, 1889, Mrs. Thos.

Cambria Works Starts a Blast Furnace— Condition of Things at Johnstown. A big blaze shot through one of the cupolas of the Cambria iron works last night. The blaze came from the first blasting furnace that has been put in operation since the day the flood swept through the valley. It told plainer than words of the progress the Cambria com- pany is making in putting the works in order for the employment of 5,000 or 6,000 men. The company now has employed fully 300 men. The majority of them are engaged in clearing away the debris, which is packed 7 or 8 feet deep in the yards, It wasin one of the lower mills, which was so badly damaged, that the blasting furnace was started last night. It was a most @ most welcome sight to the people of Cambria City and Johnstown. WORK OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH. Dr. Benjamin H. Lee, of the Pennsylvania state board of health. took charge of the work of the board yesterday. One of the first things he did was to call upon Gen. Hastings and have @ consultation about the sanitary condition of the valley. Dr. Lee told the general that from the reports of his deputies there was not the slightest danger of an epidemic. He said the sanitary condition of the place is good. He talked with the general about the advisability of selecting heaithful locations for the new dings that are to be put up here in a few days. Gen. Hastings assured him that he would be consulted and his recommendations followed as far as possible. + Dr. Lee said that he would not consent to any of the temporary buildings being placed on the flats where so many houses were swept away. He has advised the families still living there to move out and live in tents on the hills. Many of these houses are overcrowded. and he is anxious to reduce the number of people to a house. Thus far the people have refused to move. As long as they can live under a roof they will not go the hills to live in a tent. They do not mind being overcrowded, and the board of health has had very little influeuce with them thus far, A. house-to-house inspection is now being made by the board. Ten medical directors and twenty-five assistants are engaged in the work. This inspection is under the direction of Dr. Matthews, a resident physician, and is being conducted systematically and with great care, DISINFECTANTS IN DEMAND. Dr. Matthews also has charge of the distri- bution of the disinfectants. He said this after- noon: Ve are distributing tons of disinfectants daily, and the kinds are legion. Every man who wants his disinfectant used is sending it here in large quantities. Wejhave a large suy ply, but still we must have more. The people call for it just as they go to the different relief stations for food and clothing, Sometimes there are a hundred veople in line waiting for their turn to get a supp! iy of disinfectants, The work of dynamiting and burning the debris in the river at the stone bridge is ap- proved by the board of health. * Dr. Foster, the acting surgeon of the four- teenth regiment. has charge of the laboring camps during the absence of Sheriff McCand- less. He prescribed for about sixty of the men yesterday. Dr. Foster said that he had no fear of an epidemic of typhoid fever, diphtheria or any other zymotic diseases, in the Conemaugh valley, owing to the pure water supply, which is, he declared. one of the finest in the world. The food supply is also excellent. Neither does he apprehend any danger to the water supply at Pittsburg. providing the banks of the river are cleared off. *‘Water asa rule,” said he, “clears itself every twelve miles, and the flood has washed out the whole bed of the Con- emaugh river. The only danger will be from the people drinking water from the old wells in Pittsburg whichare contaminated. If Johns- town people will be careful to drink their reg- ular hydrant water there will be no epidemic. Dr. J E. Sillman, chief of the medical staff, directed his assistant, Dr. W. M. Johnson, to consolidate all the morgues and place them in charge of Undertaker Henderson. Mr. Hen- derson lost everything in the flood, but has been doing excellent work ever since. He has been wherever his services were in demand. The Millville school-house has been selected as the morgue, and hereafter all bodies will be taken there. TWO BUTCHER-SHOPS OPENED. Colonel Spangler, chief of the commissary de- partment, in his report to General Hastings yesterday says that two bntcher-shops have been opened in Morrellville. One of the pro- prietors requested him not to injure his busi- ness by furnishing provisiors to the people of that borough. Colonel Spaagler says he will make an investigation ud discriminate as nearly as possible herea‘ter between those who who was identified as a well known Pittsburg “crook” named Stewart, was confined in the ager For the past few days Detective of Philadel; has been searchin; houses on Prospect for stolen goods aa confiscating supplies obtained by misrepre- sentation.

The Plan Recommended by the Citi-. zens of Cumberland. A citizens’ meeting was held in Cumberland, id., last evening to select delegates to the joint meeting of the canal board of directors and citizens interested in the restoration of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which meeting is to be held at Georgetown to-morrow. Mayor J. W. Shuck called the meeting to order, and, after explaining its object in a brief speech, he announced the officers of the meeting as fol- lows: Chairman, Wm. 0. Sprigg; vice-presi- dents, Lloyd Lowndes, Wm. Walsh, H. W. Hoffman, R. D. Johnson, Wm. McKaig, State’s Attorney D. W. Sloan, Geo. L. Wel- lington, Robert Shriver, W. T. Coulehan, Samuel J. Edwards, Judge John DPouglas, R. H. Gordon and Capt. John Sheridan, with . H. Reynoids secretary. The council chambers were oe packed, and much interest was shown by the citizens in the future of the canal. Able addresses were made by Lloyd Lowndes, George L. We lington, William McKaiz and R. H. Gordon; all of the able speakers claimed that it was ab- isan & necessary to have the canal put in navigabie condition as soon as possible, and they promised to do all in their power to have this done. Mr. Wellington offered the follow- ing preamble ‘and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by the convention: Whereas, It is stated certain citizens of West- ern Maryland and th«: District of Columbia are willing to repair the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and rake it pavigable from Cumberland to Georgetown, as it was before the recent flood, and propose the following plan: First. That the president and directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal shall issue the bonds of the company for $300,000, and secure the same by mortgage on its canal and other property, subject only tothe mortgage made tnder the act of 1878 and claims for labor and supplies. Second. That the board of public works shall approve of this issue, and recommend the legislature of Maryland ‘to make valid such mortgage. Third, That upon the acceptance of this proposition they will enter into a contract with the canal fev, end to restore the canal to good navigable condition within ninety days from the execution of the contract, and to accept the said $300,000 in bonds in full payment thereof. Be it Resolved, That the meeting approve the above lan and recommend its acceptance by the oard of public works and the Canal company, and will favor the passage of an act by the legislature making valid said mortgage and bonds, considering that even if the canal can- not be permanently maintained, this provision for present repairs should be adopted, to pre- vent the enormous losses to our citizens which the abrupt abandonment of the canal must ne- cessarily cause, On motion of D. W. Sloan the following gen- tlemen of this city were appointed as a commit- tee to go to Georgetown: Geo. L. Wellington, W. D. Sprigg, R. D. Johnson, Gordon, W. T. Coulehan, Wm. Walsh, Frederick Mertens, Jobn W. Avirett, J.C, Orrick, Samuel J, Ed- wards, W. McM. McKaig, Capt. C. C. H. Hedges, J. W. Shuck, A. H. Amick, and W. E, Weber, all of whom signified their willingness to go and do all in their power to help the cause along. CLASS DAY AT PRINCETON.

A Maniac Since the Flood. A sad scene occurred at the Pennsylvania railroad passenger station at Sunbury, Pa., yesterday. Thomas Joyce, a survivor of the flood, from Johnstown, who had lost wife, child and home in the disaster, was sent from Sunbury to Danville asylum by Gen. Hastings, After working a few days at the debris he had become a raving maniac. He esca) cd from the two laborers who had him in « uarge at Harrisburg, and they bad great di culty in recapturing him. When the expr. arrived and they were about to change cars here he made a break through the crowd, knocking men, women and children to one le and ran down into the cellar, where he hid in the dark, Officer Gannon was called, when, after a des- perate struggle with the three men, the lunatic was thrown down and his hands tied. He was then put on the train for Danville. Bridges Again Swept Away. Heavy rains in the past twenty-four hours have raised small streams in the vicinity of Williamsport to a great height, and ramors were in circulation last evening of another large flood at Clearfield, This proved unfounded. On Lycoming creek, however, water did some damage, taking away bridges ten and nineteen, temporary structures on the Northern Central railway. The Niagara express north could not get through and the evening train did not leave here. An engine was sent up to bring back the passengers, as the expres was re- ported to be between the two missing bridges, Another series of severe thunder storms passed over Frederick county, Md., Sunday night and yesterday. The “e done, how- ever, was slight, compared to that of Saturday.

SOLDIERS DISGRACE THEMSELVES, Anumber of fourteenth regiment men, bent on having a good time, went up to Cambria City, a few miles above Johnst .wn, last night and were instrumental in starting a small riot. They secured a liberal supply of liquor upon arriv- ing there and then started in to run the town, Every woman they met was subjected to some vulgar remark. Their boisterous conduct attracted the atten- tion of Burgess O'Neill, who summoned several deputies and started ‘after the Lelligerents, They defied the burgess and the law, and re- newed their spree with increased vigor. By this time the male residents had become thor- oughly aroused and threatened violent meas- ures. One of the excited citizens proposed that they should take the law into their hands, but the burgess succeeded in restraining them from doing anything indiscrest and 1 his prisoners up in the town jail.

Tilley, of York, Pa, The report showed $33,098 received from all sources, or a larger amount than received during any previous biennium. The rapid growth of the church, particularly in the west where many churches have been erected, as the report stated, had required the appropria- tion of the whole amount. Resolutions were adopted by the synod expressing its apprecia- tion of the importance of securing lots in west- ern cities and towns; Spreating to the board to increase the loan fund and to the people for $1,000, $500, and #100 subscriptions in addition to the regular synodical apportionment; pro- viding that the general synod. reafirm its ap- rtionment policy, and that $35,000 annually ke apportioned among district synods, and pro- viding that the general synod constitute the Board of chureh extension by the appoint- ye A Fatal Mine Explosion.
