GRAND JURY REPORT
CUMBERLAND, Md, April 10, 1881.

CUMBERLAND, Md, April 49, 1881.
10 Tic Honorable, tie Judges Of the Circuit
Court for A .legany county:
INHE Grand Jury having attended TO all
i the matter brought before them, here
with hand you their report.
They have examined 1874 witnesses, rep
rescnting 45 cases have found 20 indCt-
ments, and dismissed % cases for want of
evidence.
Many of the cases brought to their no
tlce were of serious importance and re-
quired careful investigation, which con,
sumed Il great amount ol time.
From the knowledge before the jury,
they are of the opinion u at the present
liquor law is very defective and is easily
evaded. They therefore recommend to
the next Legislature oil 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 other person 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 10 cause alarm to every
person interested in the welfare OF society.
The gland jury call c. pecial attention 10
the bird law. In great measure the law
| is dead letter. The officers of the county
should be more dilligeLt in its enforce
ment. They are sorry to state that some
OF the constables did not even know such
q law is in existence. The destruction of
birds is IL serious loss to the county cs.
pecialy the farmers.
They find that some o. the Constables
ahd justices of the peace abuse their pow
ers in order TO secure fees by arreslng
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 VII tied the Jail and found it in ex.
cellent condition. It contains 30 prison
ers, who spoke in high terms of tho 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 SO that n, d.
tioral ventilation may be secured and de.
serving prisoners can have use Of tic jail
yard.

examination OF this institution in all ia
departments and take pleasure il saving
the manner N which II is kept is not only
credit TO Mr. james Reid, the steward.
but 10 Allcgany county. He is deserving
Of all praise.
They also lind the court Logse well at
tended 10 in all lis 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 commplcled their labors they
now respectfully ask to be discharged.

GENTLEMEN-The miners, laborers, and

spectfully represent to your Honorable
Body that we hold an interest in the COM

scarcely second to any conce:ned; that
beth directly and indirectly our own and
the well-being of thousands dependent
upon our labor is largely suspended upon
the accomplishment of the business pur.
poses contemplated in tho projection and
construction of the said railroad; that
whatever such projection and construc-
ton nay import to those thwarting its
aim and contesting its progress. its sue
cess means, to us, augmented development
of our resources and enlsrged opportuni-
ties for constant employment.
In sympathy with our concern in this
cause We are pleased TO observe that the
several laws, agreements, and contracts,
and adjudications interpreting them so lar
as the courts have been called upon TO
act, are uniformly favorable to the issue
solicited, viz connection of the Georges
Creek and Cumberland railroad with the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at such point
rs the former might elect; moreover, that
the welfare of the Chesapeake ard Ohio
canal, in which the State is largely con.
cerned, and upon whose operative activity
large numbers of our iellowwo'kmen rest
for livelihood, demands access to its
wharves by the Georges Greek aud Cum
berand railroad company; and last, not
least, that every public and private inter-
est, especially in this county, impelatively
requires tina, we shall be provided with
the competitive transportation which The
proposed cQnuect.tn secures

But we do add most respectfully and
earnestly this, our petition, 10 the united
and concurrent apptals of every interest
not openly hostile, TO the end that you

THE excursion train feature of the
Cumberland Academy Of Music enter
tainments has grown to great dimen-
sions. Not less than eleven hundred
persons visited Cumberland Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings con
tribution Of $3.50 each to the railroad
and the Maggie Mitchell company.
This shows that the people are will
ling to pay and endure great deal
for the sake of some enjoyment. The
question arises - whether a large
amount Of consideration is not due
the people who sacrifice so much TO
make up these excursions Cur
judgment is that no person, certainly
no lady, visiting the Academy OF Mu-
sic, on these trains, should go unseatelt
An experience of this character is a
crucial test with many people. So
that if the Cumberland stage has
been success only sine, the excur-

be cultivated and encouraged by all
possible expedients of comfort and
accommodation. In the first place,
if practicable, they should have ade-
quate space set apart for them in the
Academy. In the second, SO many
tickets and no more, corresponding
with the space, should be offered for
sale at the several stations and trans
portation accordingly provided. THIS
would secure ease and safety in travel,
which are reasonable expectations.
We know such provisions are always
encountered with uncertainties, but it
is no great distress to a railroad com
pany to miscarry in calculation sore.
