The County Temperance Alliance.

The Baltimore County Temperance Alliance
met in Baltimore on Tuesday, Mr.. Daniel in the
chair. lie stated that the object of the meeting
was to settle the affairs of the Alliance the last
campaign had caused small debt, and they also
wished to re- organize and see what is best to be
done in the future. Mr.. Daniel said he felt
greatly encouraged with the Roadway temperance
has made as shown in the last election. This
the first time that the Alliance had a separate
ticket in the field, and $500 votes were cast for
the temperance candidates. The temperance ticket
had many things to overcome The colored
voters refused to vote their ticket because it
tanned three names of Democrats; then again
there were many tickets to catch the cOlored vote.
The weather also interfered with the voting some
what.
The treasurer's report was then read, and showed
that after all the districts have paid what they
promised the Alliance would still be in debt $105.
In order to qudate this debt the following either
contributed promised to raise the amounts an
nexcd to their names: Mr. VIM. Daniel, $25 !;
Rev. c. T. House, $40 Messrs. George p. Stone,
50; Reuben Jones, So Edwin Jessop, $40, and
J. Benson, So. After this has been paid there
will be Indebtedness of $50, which the Alliance
will try to raise before the next meeting.
The secretary was instructed to send two petit
tions, one for women and the other for voters, to
the members of the Alliance in all the districts of
the county, to be distributed by them among the
people LOT lhe purpose Vi obtaining signatures
favoring local option. This memorial will be pre-
sented to the Legislature at its next session. The
following added to the committees, in the
various districts: lst district, Rev. John Bowser,
colOred, George ii. Duncan; I'd, VIM. j. Dickey

Another Barn Burned.

frame barn on the farm of Baldwin Myers,
near Fork, 18th district, was destroyed by fire on
Thursday night of last week The fire was dis
covered about 10 o'clock, after the family had re-
tissd. The flames spread SO rapidly that the only
articles saved were corn shelter and some har-
ness. Two stacks of wheat standing near the barn
were also burned. Fortunately Mr.. Myers team
was in the city. Had the horses been in the barn
they would have doubtless been burned. The fire
is supposed to have been the work of an incenia-
ry. The insurance is about $500, in the Baltimore
