| The Annapolis correspondent of the Balti-
| more Sun says: "The rumors of an extra ses-
| sion of the Legislature on account of the i'm
| projections of the assessment law have not
| been traced to an authoritative source, though
| it is not impossible that there may be some
| foundation in them"
| There has been no increase in the assess
| ment for school purposes for the current year,
| the tax remaining the same as last year, viz,
IA cents on the 800. The School Board, there
fore, did not succeed in their efforts to procure
an increased assessment, which they claim
the schools of the county require.
| 1t is thought that some of the important
| local laws for Baltimore county, passed by the
last Legislature, will turn out to be inopera-
tive because of some fatal mistakes contained
in them. If this be true-and we have been
| reliably informed that it is-we are worse of
| to-day than we were before the assembling OF
the Legislature.
The first precinct first district, was the
only one within the "belt' that gave MAORI
ty for city extension. This result was attained,

| ton went in her favor. These worthless will
now have to adopt some other means of making
their bread and butter.
AN anonymous correspondent, signing him
self ga Strong Republican" sends us a poetical

decline to publish it. We would advise him to
turn his talents in another direction as it is ev-
ident "making poetry" is not his forte.
The Baltimore american says there will
be no effort on the part of the city to contest
the election of Tuesday, and adds, "but when
the county's bill of expenses for the same is
| presented, lively argument will doubt
take place in relation to several of the items !"
| 1t will be remembered that the law requires
the city to pay all the expenses of the election
The second trial of the land damage cases
on the line of the Baltimore and Towsontown
railroad again causes delay in the progress o.
the work. We trust that when these cases
have again been disposed of the work will be
pushed rapidly forward and the road put in
running order at early day as possible
Towsontown is peculiarly unfortunate in al
her railroad projects.

The vehicle was demolished. The accden

body ought to be made pay all damages, al
this practice of leaving stones piled up along
a public thoroughfare is reprehensible.
