REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
MARCH TERN, 1877.
GRAND JURY Room. TowsoNrovs

GRAND JURY Room, TowsoNTowN,
March "a, 1877.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Circuit Court
for baltimore County:
TINHE Grand Jury for the March Term, 1877,
l. beg leave to make the following report: We
have been in session sixteen days. have examin-
ed 231 witnesses-95 cases-found S. present.
ments, SO true bills, dismissed 80 cases and have
released persons from Jail.
Wevisited the Jail, were kindly received and con-
Quoted through by the Warden; found 48 prison
ers in good sanitary condition. We found the
building in good order, but would call your at
tention to the defect in the drainage of the water
pipes, also to the sink in the rear of building,
which however the Commissioners assured us
should have their attention.
We urge that legislation be obtained to the eff
feet that Constables be required previous to max
ing their reports to the Grand Jury to examine
the licenses of all parties engaged in business in
their respective districts and that the Constables
be properly compensated for that service.
We earnestly urge the absolute suppression of
the licenses of the two houses on Madison Avenue
extended, now used as restaurants, justicetO the
interests of the property holders in that section in
which our county is so largely interested, and in
obedience to the demands of many of our best
citizens, as all other means appear to have failed
while subterfuge is resOrted to to evade the law
prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sunday.
We urge similar course in regard to the drink
ing saloons on the line of the water works. as Sc
rious complaints made all along the line, and
the jury has found it utterly impossible to obtain
the requisite testimony to convict the parties. We
are satisfied these establishments are public nui-
sances, causing loss of life in many instances, and
are great detriment to the interests of the con-
tractors and nuisance to the surrounding neigh
bOrhood.
We would urge the necessity for more comfort
able accommodation for witnesses attending the
Grand Jury than the open hall now used FIRE.
quently ladies and delicate persons are compelled
to remain for hours in the cold hall without seats.
Having completed our labors we would respect
fully ask to be discharged.
We wish to extend our thanks to the Court, the
States Attorney and all the officers connected with
the Court for the promptness and efficiency with
which we have been assisted in performing our
duties. R. +. MAYNARD,
March 31.-3t. Foreman.

SURPRISING LIQUOR LIcENsEs.-In the County
Circuit Court on Tuesday-full bench-when the
license of Fred'k Stein keeper of beer saloon,
was suppressed, Judge Yellott dissented, and gave
his reasons He held that the only statuary pro-
vision which seems to authorize these proceedings
is found in the third section of article 20 of the
Maryland code. This statute relates to disorder
ly houses and not to selling liquor on Sunday.
The law in question does not contemplate the ac-
ton of grand jury, but the Circuit Court, or, in
its recess the Orphans Court is required "on ap-
plication OF remonstrance to withdraw" the il
cense of any keeper of an ordinary whose house is
disorderly. The mere withdrawal of license is q
ministerial act which a court cannot perform, be-
cause article 8, of the declaration of rights, pro-
hibits courts from exercising any other than ju-
dicial functions. The offense of keeping disor-
derby house is indictable and punishable by fine,
imprisonment, and suppression of license When
party is convicted of such an offense judges
never hesitate to impose thepenalty. A disorder
ly house is a nuisance which ought to be abated
by a suppression Of the license. But the party
accused has the constitutional right to be tried by
jury, and it is right which no judicial tribunal
can withhold. The Circuit Court for Baltimore
County cannot sit except rs n judicial tribunal,
and can exercise none but judicial powers. Any
law which requires the court to exercise ministe-
rial or executive powers is in conflict with the
constitution of Maryland. 1t is true the consti-
tuition makes the judges of the courts conserva-
tors of the peace throughout the State, but when
they act as such they act as individuals clothed
with special powers, and not as court, which has
no jurisdiction beyond certain territorial limits.
Believing that courts have no power to suppress
| licenses in this summary manner, Judge Yelloti
is of opinion that it is the duty of the court tc
commit the parties against whom the charges
have been made for the action of the grand jury
for the May term, in order that they may be in
dicted, tried, and if found guilty punished in con
| formity with the constitution and laws of Mary
land. The third section of article 20 Of the cod
leaves the whole matter in the "sound discretion
| of the court.

WATER Works NoTES.-Work on the line of the
permanent water supply for Baltimore city is pro-
crossing rapidly, but it is thought that at least
three years will yet be required to complete it.
The line is something over miles in length
from Mine Bank Run, on the Gunpowder, to Bal
timore.
Lake Montebello will cover seventy acres and
will have a uniform depth of thirty feet
The tunnel, which is perfectly circular bore,
twelve feet in diameter, will have capacity of
17O,O00,OOO gallons daily.
The flow of the Gunpowder is 15O,OOO,OoO gal
Ions daily.
Five miles of the tunnel will be cut through
solid rock, requiring no brick work for arching.
Fifteen hundred miners and laborers are con-
tinGousy employed, working night and day.
The drilling is done altogether by hand, and
the blasting by dynamite cartridges.
The depth of the shafts is from IS feet to 800
feet, and as soon as completed each one is provi-
ded with ON elevator.
The conduit or tunnel has q fall of one foot to
the mile.
The Gunpowder river is 40 feet above tide, and
Lake Montebello, 1888 feet above.
Miners camps and temporary villages have
sprung up along the whole line of works.
1t is the largest engineering work now being
prosecuted in the United States.
And lastly, there large number of gin mills
along the line in fact we might say the ''woods
are full of them" 1t is thought, when the Bal
timore county Court suppresses the licenses OF
these places the works will be brought to stand
still on account Of the drouth.

WOoDBERRY NoTEs-Messrs. Editors Druid
Hill Park, which has always afforded much pleas
to visitors, will be delightful the coming
summer than ever. Mr.. Stevens, of Woodbury.,
has had number of teams engaged in ploughing
up portions of the park, preparatory to sowing
grass seed. The Maryland building, brought on
from the Centennial, will be a new and attractive
feature. 1t is a handsome building, erected on a
hill, only few steps from the Mansion, and will
be open to visitors in about two weeks. The
monkey house, is also, place of much attraction,
and already hundreds of people are focking there
to see the different birds and animals which have
been collected.

met in Woodbury. Hall, on last Saturday evening.
The debate was preceded by select readings, es-
says, &c. The question (Which has been the most
benefit to man, the power of steam or the art of
printing" was then taken up and discussed. Mr..
Bowersock, very promising young man, defend
ed the negative side very ably. He is talented,
and destined to be useful.
An entertainment, called the "Dairy Maids Re-
ception," was given in Woodberry NJ. E. church,
on Monday evening, to a very large audience. An
excellent programme had been prepared for the

distinguished ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore.

chased, was introduced and used for the occasion.
There in the audience several ladies and gen.
tlemen from TowsontOwn, who shared the enjoy
ment.
On last Sunday morning, at Clipper Sunday

school to say few words, which granted.
He said Mrs. Grace Stevenson, who has been a
faithful and earnest teacher in our school, is now
spending her last Sabbath with us, having made
arrangements to 60 to Buenos Ayres, South Amer
lea. He moved that the school, as an expression
of its appreciation of her services, would take a
rising vote, which was unanimously done. Super
intendent, R. Gladfelter, made an appropriate adj
dress, stating that he hoped the 5000 miles which
would intervene between her and us would not
