BALTIMORE COUNTY CHICKEN CAsEs-FLIGHT
OF HARKER FROM THE CRIMINAL CoURr.-The Sun
of Wednesday says: "The chicken thief case
from Baltimore county, removed to the Crimi-
nal Court in this city, came up before Judge
Gilmor yesterday. James Ii. Harker, the &C
cused, was called several times by the crer.-
His bondsman, David A. Mumma, was present,
and when Harker failed to respond, turned pale
as the truth flashed across his mind. He stated
to the court that he had brought Harker up as
required by the tond the prisoner was in court
only few moments before, but now he was
gone. Harker. it will be remem bered, escaped
from Towsontown Jail, liberating several other
prisoners at the time, and was subsequently re-
captured by city detectives. When taken be-
fore the Towsontown court he was admitted to
bail in the sum of $500, with Mr.. Mumma Sc
curity, and removed his case to Baltimore city.
1t is probable he felt, when he found himself
before Judge Gilmor, that he had jumped out
of the frying pan into the fire. number of
witnesses for the State were present, who an
swered to their rames. Judge Gilmor ordered
the bondsman to be held responsible for the
amount of BAIL unless the prisoner was returned
by Monday, 23d, and at the suggestion of the
States Attorney it was ornered that if captured
in the meantime his bail should be increased
to 81 800, to be taken in open court He also
ordered bench warrant issued for Harker s
arrest. At the time Harker figured with his
bag and crowbar in Baltimore county several
hundred chickens were stolen, and hen house
operations were carried on over wide area OF
territory. Several citizens took stock in Har-
ker's arrest, to whom it will be interesting to
know that he has again made his escape, just
as he was brought to the door of the temple OF
Justice"

Tuesday says: "On Monday Officer Schwartz,

ing and beating a girl named Zenoble Peck,
with intent to kill. The assault was commit
ted on Saturday night, at Hikgen's Tavern, in

beaten about the head, face and body, and she

reference of several persons, who heard her
cries for help. She can give no reason for the
assault, and the accused refused to give any ex-
PLANTATION. He was committed to Jail by Jus
tice Tall, to await the action of the Baltimore

The presidents report showed that though
fair business had been done during the year,
the number of passengers carried was not as
large as the year previous. A proposition was
received from Mr.. John Swan and citizens along
the line of the old Frederick road to build a
branch road to connect with the Gainesville
railway at Carrollton or Irvngton, and pass
along the line of the old road to st. Agnes
Church or Mount De Sales Academy, and to
place the same under the management of the
Gainesville Company, provided the latter com
pany would receive the same under terms to be
mutually agreed upon. This latter road, if
built, would be on the extended line of the pro-
posed Edmondson avenue, and passing the gate
of the new Cathedral Cemetry, and near the
property Of Messrs. Winans, Prick, Swan, Chap
pell and others, and would be great convent

PAPER IMITATION OF LEATHER A most deceptive
imitation Of leather is uiac,ured, according to
process discovered by Dawidowski, from parch
ment paper. 1t is as soft and pliable as leather,
and resembles it perfectly in color and finish, and
like it, can be glued, pressed, stamped, gilded,
&c. 1t, therefore, forms perfect substitute for
fancy leather for many purposes. AS binding of
books it resiss abrasion extremely well, and is
not affected by dirt or even water. 1t is also
free from the objections to leather as lining
for hats, since it is unaffected by perspiration.

MORE CHICKEN THIEvEs-CAN THIS BE HAIR
KER?-Within week past chicken thieves have
been committing depredatons in the vicinity
of Waverly. Mr.. Griffith, who resides at Friend

found that seventeen fine Brahma chickens,
worth $50, had been stolen from him, their
heads wrung off and left in the coops. AT the
same time lady residing on the Hartford road,
near Homestead, had all her fowls stolen, and
a gentleman on Charles Street avenue, lost
about dozen. Many of the residents in that
neighborhood since then have taken precautions
to secure their hen roosts against the thieves,
and measures were set on foot to detect the Of
