The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1876-08-19

The Democratic pole at this place was
raised on Friday evening of last week, but
there was no demonstration. The only nota-
BILE person present was the notorious Michael
Bannon, of ring notoriety. Whether he came
to address the "reformers" of this vicinity or
not we are unable to say.
The Baltimore County Grange, compos-
ed Of delegates from the four subordinate Gran
ges of the county, met at the church, on the
North Point road 18th district, on Wednesday
last. The attendance was large and the day
was most pleasantly spent, substantial din
ner being served to all in attendance.
On Saturday afternoon last the Hayes
and Wheeler men threw to the breeze from
their beautiful pole in Towsontown, a mag
nifcent burgee, bearing the following in
scription in large letters "Hayes and Wheeler
Honest Reform" The large National Gag,
with the burgee underneath, makes very
handsome display.
The "Franklin Perpetual Building As
ISOLATION" has been organized at Reisterstewn
with the following officers President, Corne-
Illus Cook; vice president, N. Yingling; secre-
tary, DIR. Jas. Gore; treasurer, VIM. A. Rus
sell; directors, S. H. Cooper, F. Yingling, R.
Carron, ]. T. Marshall, Sr., P. E. Beckley, c..
o. Dorsey and John F. Gore.
Harry, son of Mr.. James Phipps, of this
town, had one of his fingers injured on Satur-
day last by ball from pistol in the hands of
a companion. The boys were playing with
the pistol, which was thought to be unloaded,
when it was discharged. The boy who had
the pistol, few moments before, snapped it at
the head of another companion, but fortunate
ly it then failed to 60 off. We would not be
surprised at any time to hear of the killing of
some one from an accident such as this. Pa
rents should see that their boys be deprived of
such dangerous playthings.
Like Towsontown, Reisterstown could
not get along with one Tilden and Hendricks
club. There are tive factions there and each
one had tothave hickory pole. The one in
front OF the Central Hotel has already come to
grief, having broken off about the middle, and
the one at Heitchews Hotel is prepped up to
keep it from topping over. These two Demo
cratic poles were the innocent cause of numer-
GUS amusing remarks from people on their way
to camp meeting on Sunday last. If the De-
mocracy of Reisterstown is in no better condi-
ton than these poles it must be in a anguish
ing state.
We would like to know the publics
opinion of a man who, every few days, makes
practice Of beating his wife sha mefully,
blacking her eyes. bruising her person and
then driving her and his little children from
his house in the night. Such man we have
in our midst and when he is arrested for his
brutality there can be found men willing to go
his security to keep him out ofjail About two
or three weeks ago this fellow was arrested on
the charge of beating his wife, but instead of
being sent to Jail, where he ought to have gone,
he was liberated on security to keep the peace,
probably for six months. Within month he
repeats his favorite amusement, he is not re-
arrested, and his securities are not held for the
amount for which he was bailed. Ifhis bonds
men were compelled to pay the amount of Sc
curity it wculd be lesson to them and to 9TH
ers who are ever ready as security no matter
what the charge against the person under
rest. We would like to see an example made
of them and of this wife beaten also.
