tices of the peace with the right of appeal to
the Circuit Court. N
The committee also recommended the ap-
pointment of a committee to prepare and pre-
sent to the Legislature statement of such
offices as ought to be abolished, of such ex-
penditures as ought to be curtailed of such
salaries as ought to be reduced of such
amendments Ivy law as viii insure a greater
vigilance in those who have the supervision
of public expenditures.
The resolutions were vigorously discussed.
p. ii. Rutledge, of Hartford, protested that the
section relating to public schools was too
general He moved to amend by demanding
that the people he allowed to vote for school
commissioners, and Mr.. David Lawrence, OF
Howard, moved that they demand that the
officer ofschool examiner be abolished
Mr.. Farquhar, of Montgomery, said the
public schools should he touched carefully.
The system was theproduct of the thought OF
wise and good men, and he would he sorry 10
see the convention do anything which might
| tend to overthrow it.
Major Hancock said the money paid the
examiners would be much better spent ifused
to educate the children ofpoor people. Let
the counties reduce their expenses for roads
and for public printing, but let nothing be
done to strike down the public schools. The
amendments were tabledand the resolutions OF
the committee adopted.
A resolution was also adopted that any
county that desires to vote on the subject
should be allowed to do so, and decide by q
direct vote ofthc people whether or not liquor
shall be sold within its limits as beverage
Mr.. Rutledge objected to the Introduction
of the temperance resolution, on the ground
that the meeting was taxpayers and not 4
temperance convention.
A resolution was adopted urging the dele
gates in attendance to use their utmost influ
encc to secure the nomination and election OF
such candidates only to our next Legislature
as are willing to pledge themselves to secure
the adoption of such legislation, in case OF
their election, as will carry out the spirit and
wishes of the convention.

which are 4 and Is inch in diameter. 1t is con-
structcd according to the most scientific prnc-
pies, and is capable of conveying seven times the
amount of electricity conducted by an iron rod
of the same size. An accident which occurred
recently illustrates the power of these rods in
conveying heavy charges of electricity silently
to the ground Mr.. Jcifrics who is employed by
Mr.. Fox, was engaged in rodding VIM. Gillespe's
barn, in Cecil county. He was standing on Il
ladder eight feet from the ground with his
right hand holding the rod, while his left was
engaged in fastening the nsuator. Suddenly
he was thrown from the ladder to the ground

being balhcd in cold water soon recovered con
seriousness. At last accounts he had not fully
recovered from the shock. If Mr.. Jrilries had
had tight hold of the rod at the time he would
have been instantly killed.
