GRAND JURY REPORT

CUMBERLAND, Md, April 10, 1881.
TO the Honorable, the JudgeS Of the Circuit
Court for A.legaay County,:
EHE Grand Jury having TENDED TO all
i the matter brought before them, here
with hand you their report.
They have examined 1874 witnesses, rep
rescnting As cases have found 30 indict
ments, and dismissed 25 cases for want of
evidence.
Many of the cases brought to their no.
tice were of serious importance and re-
quired careful investigation, which con
sumed Il great amount ui time.
From the knowledge before the jury,
they are of the opinion Il at the present
liquor law is very defective and is easily
evaded. They therefore recommend to
the next Legislature OF Maryland that Il
law be passed making tia criminal offence
for any saloon-keeper to allow MINOR to
drink in his house, and also criminal
offence for any otherperso to give CT buy
liquor for minors and minors Tor falsely
stating their age The also think more
stringent Sunday liquor law should lie
enacted. The great amount of Sabbath
drinking, and especially drinking among
minors is sufficient 20 cause alarm to every
person interested i'll the welfare OF society.
The gland jury call {. peclal attention TO
the bird law. In u great measure the law
is dead letter The officers OF the county
should be more dllligeLt in its enforce
ment. They are sorry to state that some
OF the constables did not even know such
law is in existence. The destruction of
birds is Il serious loss to the county, Is.
pecially The farmers
They find that some o! the oonstabes
ahd justices OF the peace abuse their pow
ers in order TO secure fees by arresiing
and imp isoning persons, thereby adding
expense TO the county when there has
really been no violation of the law. This
IS an outrage.
They vi. tied the jail and found it in cx.
celent condition. 1t contains 90 prison
ers, who spoke in high terms of the man
ner in which il is kept by Mr.. Henry
Hanekamp and his deputies. The find
the ventilation is not very good on the
lower floor and recommend TO the county
commiss oners that door be cut at the
lower end of the corridors SD that n, d.
tional ventilation may be secured and de.
serving prisoners can have use Of the all
yard.
They also visited The alnlshOuSc. Ii
contains 65 inmates 90 males 2S females
and s children. Ehey made thorough
examination OF this institution in all It's
departments and take pleasure Ia saying
the manner N which ii is kept is not only
a credit TO Mr.. james ltria, the steward,
but 10 Allcgany comfy. He is deserving
OF all praise.
They also lind thc court Logse well at
tended 10 in all is departments.
The power beng vested in the grand
jury by law, they herewith hand you the
names OF persons who they recomm, nd
shall not be granted liconse to sell liquor
Having commploied their labors they
now respectfully ask to be discharged.

M. M. M.-The Maryland Nam
moth Minstrels made two Of their pop
ular appearances this week-Monday
and Tuesday evenings-on the Odd
Fellows Opera House stage. The
programmes were put up to amuse
and entertain, taking in songs, dances,
stump-speeches, burlesques and farces,
wherein Messrs. Charles Sullivan,
Henry Baum, Bud Wonn, Peter
Daley, Henry Sfitznaus, James Bax'

Pat Mooney, Thomas Dillon and G.
R. Cooper sustained prominent parts.
The audiences were large each even

roarious. The Land League, for
whose benefit the entertainments we're
given, patronized them literally, as
will be seen from the receipts amount
ing to $20l0l. The programmes
were loo long and dragged rather than
glided, and the use of firearms on
the stage, always Objectionable, con-
stituted the only drawback to the
entire acceptabiity of these perform
ances.

The KeelY Motor.

MIR. Keeley, the ingenious and re-
nowned inventor of the KeelY motor,
still conducts the business of roping in
/ credulous millionaires at the old stand.
He recently gave an exhibition. which.
according 10 the New York Times, con-
sisted of a mixture Of sandwiches. oys-
ters. champagne and talk, most of
which was ",nintelligible jargon."
Pouring q glass of water into his motor
q lever was gradually raised which
Keely said measured pressure of a.
600 pounds to the square inch. A ''si-
rem" connected with the machine also
uttered slight screech. The pressure.
Mr.. Keely explainei was an elastic
pressure. The machine likewise fired
a bullet through u two-inch plank. He
also scraped tuning fork with his fid
die bow. which set copper globe to
rotating. The reporter asked the in
ventor to open room which was inn
me.lia,ely underneath the motor. but
which was very carefully locked and
bolted. Mr.. Keely. who was greatly
taken aback BY the request, peremptor-
ily refused to do anything Of the kind,
because there was in that room an ap-
paraius for lifting weights under con-
structiOn for certain parties in Califor-
MA The motor was soon exhausted,
and Keely explained it by saying that
the power was Latent" in the motor
When asked why he didn't keep the
machine moving for q week or two i'll
stead of for D moments, he made no
reply. When asked to explain the prin-
ciple on which it was based. he de-
clined because.'.ir would take u week"
''There was nothing positive shown"
says the reporter, (which necessarily
lead to the Inference of fraud OF de.
ceit. The tests were simply inconclu-
sive, without practical value, and left

These white-rose feet along the doubtful

Alas! Since woman has the heaviest burden
And walks the hardest road.
Love for awhile will make the path before

Will Gull away the brambles. letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
And these dear ri feet are Il left Without her guild
Who shall direct them then1

OF sorrows fearful shades,
Or flnd the upland slopes of Peace and Beauty
Whose sunlight never fadesa
viii they go toilins up Ambitions summit,
The common world above.
Or, in some nameless vale, securely sheltered,
Walk side by side with Love?
Some feet there be which walk Lifes track un-
Which find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there be to which this life is only
round Of happy days;
But they are few. Far more there are who

Who fnd their Journey full of pains and losses
And long to reach the end.
How shall It be with her. the tender stranger.
Fair-faced and gentle-cyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds rude

Stretches so strange and wide?

We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens

Booths Body,

The Washington correspondent OF the
Buffalo Commercial writes: cit was
only after some patient inquiry that !
could ascertain the facts. which are in
teresting and, as far as know, are yet
unpublished. Booth. the murderer of
Abraham Lincoln. died. as will be re-
membered, in barn in Maryland. from
a wound received from the musket OF
Boston Corbett. The body was brought
TO Washington. and, after having been
identified by the court martial before
which his fellow conspirators were
tried. was dissected by the surgeon-gen-
eral of the army. The brain and heart
and some parts of the body were pre-
served in alcohol and are now on exhi-
bition in the medical museum of the
surgeon-generars Office. The building
in which the assassination occurred was
Ford's theater. The government con-
fiscated it, but afterward Ford was paid
it's full value, and it has since been used
as headquarters of the medical corps
of the army. The brain and heart OF
Booth are in jars, standing in q case
that is very near the actual scene of
the assassination. After the surgeons
had done with Booths body it was bur-
led in crave in the arsenal grounds.
Only half a dozen persons knew the
exact spot, which was unmarked. In
1867 Edwin Booth, the actor, sent Mr..
Weaver. the sexton of Christ church,
Baltimore. to Washington, with the re-
quest that the remains Of his brother
might be taken up and removed to the
family burial place. After some tlelay
the request was granted by President
johnson, who was finally appealed to.
and Mr.. Weaver took the body to the
cemetery in Baltimore. and buried it
beside tho older Booth and others of
the family. Tho removal was conduct
ed witt, great secrecy. and was c..n-
cealed from Secretary Stanton. who
had refused to give his consent.
