Court Items.

The Superior Criminal Court will to-day
| close the special session Of July for the pur-
pose of continuing oil remaining business to
| the October term.
Attorney General Field has prepared and
will to-day present to this court number
Of informations growing out of the develop.
ments Of the Clinton cases. and will move
for capias in each case.
Judge Saucier, of tho Sixth District Court,
acting in place Of Judge Hawkins, of the
Superior District Court, absent from the
State, granted an injunction on tho sheriff
yesterday. The case was that of the city Of
New Orleans VS.. Mrs. j. 3. Piffet, IN which
q fieri facias had been granted ordering the
sale of twelve lots Of ground. Judge
Hawkins left no representative in the city
to act in such cases during his absence, and
Mr.. Burke. clerk Of the court. hesitated to
file the petition and issue tho injunction
which restrained the sale. The city attor-
ney, however, put the matter in . proper
legal light by stating he had no objection,
and the Injunction was issued on bond Of
$500.
Judge Hawkins' absence gave rise 70 an
other complication. Judge Cotton applied
to Judge Meunier, Of the Third Court, for
an order 10 three sui: g, and obtained an in
junction in each Of them. The cases are
those Of the State ex rel. John Carran: Ger
main Dastillon: Honore Tanazac vs. Cres-
cent City Live Stock Landing and Slaugb
terhouse Company, and others. The petit
TONERS allege they are butchers, doing
business on the west bank Of the Mssis-
sippi, and there slaughtering cattle: that
defendant. by act No. lls, approved March
8, 1869, were obliged to select slaughter
house On that bank, below Morgans depot;
exact dues which petitioners we're willing
to pay 40 to public slaughterhouse: that
it illegally removed it to the east bank, and
that it thus became private slaughter
house; that Inspector John y. Harris refuses
to cross che river; thst Assistant Attorney
General Steele 10 prosecuting petitioners to
compel them to cross to the east bank. and
that they. with defendant, are injuring pc
titioners more than $500.
Mr.. Burke refused to file those cases even
when presented with = note from the Gov.
ernor stating that he had no objection to
their being filed, but sought TO. Judge Mu-
nier. He learned that that Judge had stated
he would issue the order but would not try
the cases. The affidavit was sworn to be-
fore john Ls Monnier, third justice Of the
peace. Mr.. Burke, therefore. persisted in
refusing to file the cases OF issue the in-
junction.
In similar cases the Supreme Court, sit
ting at Monroe, has issued writs of prohibi
ton against the judge of the Superior Dis
trict Court, inspector John 5. Harris and
Assistant Attorney General Hiram r. Steele,
prohibiting any interference in the bust
ness Of the butchers on the west bank of
the river. The relators in these cases are
John Larrieux and Francois Frelot. Mr.
Burkes attention was called to these cases,
but a. the writs were not directed to him,
he felt justified in not being influenced by
them.

The NARROW CAUSE RAILwAY-THE ENTER
PRISE LOOKING UP.-Earlyon Wednesday morn
ing last we were surprised and very much graf
fled at visit from several of the Directors Of
the Baltimore, Hampden and Towsontown Mar
row-Gauge Passenger Railway Company
These gentlemen came forward to second our
motion, as published in former issue, favor
ing the call of a public meeting at Towson-
town, for the purpose of enlisting all our citi-
zens in the enterprise, and to set forth the i'm
portance of raising funds for the immediate
resumption OF work. and for the speedy COM
pleton of the road between Baltimore and this
place.
The great importance of this new, quick and
cheap line of travel to and from the city is ap-
parent to every rejecting mind. We all feel
the necessity of it, and know how slow our
progress will be until we have steam commu
nication with Baltimore. When that is done
we would not be surprised to see here in Tow
sontown, in less than two years, at least three
times as many inhabitants as we have to-day.
This result is certainly most desirable to bust
ness men, property holders, tradesmen, and in
fact every one, but it cannot be consummated
unless you, one and all, "put your shoulders to
the wheel" and give the enterprise the assist
ance it SO much needs This is most import.
ant matter and we trust our citizens will weigh
it well, and act promptly and literally.
1t is in contemplation to call public meet
ing aud to procure some of our most prominent
citizens to address the same, to secure the OBJ
jects above stated. The meeting will be held
in the course of week or two, due notice of
which will hereafter be given.
1t is matter of pride to US that the Compa-
ny is about to adopt our suggestion. We shall
do our level best to stir the people up to the
Importance of attending this meeting, and in
this connection would renew our promise, made
a short time ago, to do whatever printing may
be necessary, lin getting up the meeting) free
of charge.

NEW ENEMY TO THE CRoPs.-Benjamin M.
Gill, Jr., residing at Murray's Farm, Baltim ore
county, sends US a lively specimen of the
worms that are now playing havoc in the rye
and wheat fields in some parts of the country.
Although this particular worm was brought by
mail from Woodensburg, and was tossed about
in the usual way in the distribution of letters
at the postofice, it was in excellent health
and spirits when taken from the envelope, and
forthwith began to crawl over the editorial
desk with remarkable activity. We never saw
a worm of this size that showed so much activ-
ty. In general appearance it resembles a
young caterpillar, but it is far more agile. Mr..
Gill also sends specimen rye heads in which
this voracious pest has been practicng his de-
structive arts. The soft grains are followed
out, leaving nothing but the she'll and the chat.
The worm is about one and a-fourth inches in
length. Concerning the ravages Of this pest
Mr.. Gill writes:
In some rye fields the heads are almost void
of grains and the ground literally covered with
chaff. Late sowed rye would not be worth
harvesting were it not for the straw. The early
sowed rye is also seriously damaged The
wheat crop in this section has also suffered
slightly.-American, Sth inst.

FOURTH OF July SHOOTING AFFRAY.-0f late
years it seems next to impossible for a holiday
to pass without there being case to report in
our county wherein one person has shot an
other, either through accident or design. This
has been the case on nearly every recurring
4th of July or Thanksgiving day, until we are
beginning to think it would be far better for
most people if they would attend to their usual
avocations on those days, instead of prowling
about the country with guns on their shout
ders or pistols in their pockets, ready, on the
slightest provocaton, to take-or attempt to
take-the lives of their fellows. We could
name number of these instances but prefer
not to do so.
This year the usual shooting ARRAY occurred
near Woodbury., and the parties being boys,
in whose hands it is unsafe at any time to
place firearms. Michael Giles, for some tri-
fling offense, draws Derringer pistol and
fires at a companion, William Fisher, the ball
lodging in his ankle, producing very pain
full and perhaps fatal wound. This case will
no doubt come to trial and when it does it will
cost the county several hundred dollars TO dis
pose of it. Further comment is unnecessary
The fault lies with parents, and to them We
must look for better state of affairs.

CoNDEMNAT1oNs ON ROLAND RUN.-In getting
the temporary water supply the Water Board
of Baltimore proposed to convey the water in
pipes from Meredith's Ford to Roland Run at
Lutherville, and from thence to use the bed Of
Roland Run for the conveyance of the water to
Lake Roland. This was opposed by Mr.. Geo.
Appold, who sued out an Injunction that was
warmly contested, and then carried to the Court
of Appeals, which, by recent decision, sus-
tanned the Injunction OH the ground that NO
land Run was private property, and the city Of
Baltimore had no right to appropriate and use
it without either purchase, grant or condem-
comes necessary, and on Wednesday City So
Roland Run for a distance of two miles and a.
quarter condemned.

Mn>The school fund levied by the Ceun

Ma-The school fund levied by the County
Commissioners on Tuesday last aggregates the
sum of 9,1O4S7, being fifteen cents on every
hundred dollars worth of assessable property
in the county. This added to the public re-
ceipts from the State, will give the School
Board about $4,000. This sum will enable the
Board to keep open the schools for three terms,
pay current expenses and the interest on their
Indebtedness, leaving the principal of the debt,
about 1000, unprovided for. This will re-
quire the Board to renew their notes at high
rate of interest or allow them to go to protest.
1t will not be pleasant for the Board to con-
template either of these alternatives, but it was
perhaps necessity the County Commission ers
could not we'll obviate. If the School Board
can manage their debt a few months longer,
the Legislature will probably come to their re-
lief by authorizing the County Commissioners
to fund the debt and provide for its gradual Ii
quotation. In this way it can be disposed of
without serious inconvenience to the tax-pay-
ers.-Harford Democrat

DEATH OF AGED CITIzEKs.-Majer Abraham
Rutledge, of this county, died on Thursday
last, at his residence near Federal Hill, in the
sOth year of his age. He served in the war of
1872 as an aid on General Maulsby's staff, with
the rank of major, and was, at the time of his
death, the oldest member Of the Masonic fra
ternity in the county, but had not, for some
years past, attended the meetings of the lodge
here. Major Rutledge was somewhat eccentric,
but exceedingly hospitable, and possessed of
many kindly traits Of character. In politics
he was an incorporating Democrat. He
was devotedly fond of equestrian sports, and
many remarkable stories are told of his skill
and fearlessness as rider. His death was
from no apparent disease. He simply appear
ed to have been worn out, and like time piece
not wound up, his breath gently ceased. He
was buried on Saturday, in the family burying
ground on his farm.-Belair EgiS.

A SNAKE STORY OF HUGE DMENsIoNs.-Con-
siderable CONSERVATION exists at present among
the people residing in the vicinity of Hall
Springs, on the Hartford road, about two miles
from the city, owing to the stories extant about
the appearance of very large snake in the
neighborhood. Those who think they have
seen his snakeship say that he is fully fifteen
feet long, about eight inches in diameter and
two feet in circumference. On Tuesday last he
was seen, it is said, on the place of Mr.. j. F.
Lee, the owner of the Olive Mill. The snake
passed through the garden, and came within
a hundred feet of the stable. Its track was af
forwards measured by Mr.. Lee, who states its
dimensions to be eleven and half inches in
width in the narrowest place and about fifteen
inches in the widest. Mr.. Lees place is short
distance beyond Halls Springs, and is located
on the east bank of Herring Run. On the west
bank opposite the dam there is large rock,
with sort of cave underneath. This is thought
to be the den of the monster snake, who has
been noticed on several occasions in the woods
near by. The miller in the employ of Mr.. Lee
says that few days ago he noticed the snake
lying, apparently asleep, under the breast of
the dam. He appraised Mr.. Lee, on the latters
return from the city, of the fact, who scarcely
believed the story. The visit of the snake to
his place on Tuesday of last week, however,
thoroughly convinced Mr.. Lee that the snake
in reality existed and was one of unusual pro-
of the size described has the capacity of swal-
lowing a calf four or five weeks old, and that
boy or girl ten or twelve years of age would
be mere mouthfu. Mr.. Lee states that he is
willing to give $500 for the capture of the snake
alive, or in lieu thereof S25 to any one who
will kill it. Several attempts have been made
to kill the snake, and have failed for the SIM
| pie reason that the parties making the attempts
on coming across it and noticing its huge pro-
portions ncontinently fed. The Superintend-
emit of the Turnpike Company, who is portly
German, was walking in the woods few days
ago when he met the snake. lie rushed from
| spot, and never slackened his speed until he
reached the door of his domicile. His nervous
system was so terribly shocked that he has not
| yet entirely recovered. Several other persons
have seen the snake, and the stories that are
afoat about it have been productive of great
| deal of excitement and comment in the neigh
borhood of Hall Springs.-Americ
