NUCLEUS FOR A Town LIBRARY IN BEL
AIR.-Mr. Al. lowering, of Fallston, has Of
tered to present TO the Commissioners of Bel
Air, for the use ofthe town three volumes con-
tanning reprint of the ordinances of the cor
poration ofBaltimore from 1897 to 1881, inclu-
sive. He hopes they may form the nucleus
around which public library or reading room
may eventually build up. The gift will doubt
less be gratefully accepted by the Commits
sioners. Twenty-Five or thirty years ago
Bel Air had an excellent public library con-
tributed by the citizens. For the want of
fund to pay for the services of a custodian of
the books they became scattered and the en-.
tire library disappeared years ago. The pro.
ject of establishing public library is good
one, and we hope some means may be found
of carrying it out.

THE HARTFORD FERTILIZER LAW SUSTAINED.
Last Saturday two test cases under the law OF
the last Legislature to prevent and punish fraud
in the manufacture and sale of commercial fer.
tiliZers and bone dust In Hartford county were
argued at length before Judge Walters. The
first case was that of the State against r. j.
Baker " Co., of Baltimore. In this the consti.
nationality of the law was contested on the
ground that the Legislature can not pass local
law on the subject, for the reason that there is
general law regulating the sale of commercial
fertilizers applicable to the entire State. Judge
Walters decided the law constitutional and i'm.
posed fine of $500 upon the defendants, for
| selling without license.
The other case was against the Chemical Com.
pany of Canton. The law was construed to
require license, costing S25, to be taken out
for each brand of fertilizer sold in Hartford coun
ty The Canton Company paid for license to
sell one of their fertilizers, and in order to test
the validity of the law sold to specified part les
fertilizer not named in their license Judge
Walters decided that u license fee of S25 once
paid authorizes the sale in Hartford county OF
all the various brands of fertilizers manufnc.
turcd by the party taking out The license.
About twenty fertilizer firms have taken out
licenses, and some of them have paid sums az
gregating 800 or more. Notwithstanding the
decision of Judge Walters the excess in any
case over S25 can not be recovered, since money
paid to the State in Ignorance of the law is not
recoverable.
The case was ably argued for the State by
Hon. Henry W. Archer, Sr., and for the defend
ants by VIM. A. Fisher Esq of Baltimore
Mcssrs. Henry w. Archer, Jr., also appeared
for the State, and c. N. West, of Baltimore, and

on sM acres Of land, ITO cases of sugar corn
or about 1873 cases to the acre He sold the crop
at 20 cents per case, realizing 1856, or about
S66.S5 per acre. AT this rate sugar corn for
canning purposes will pay better than field corn
or wheat.

REMOVED TO TowsoNTowN JAIL.-Arthur
Preston, colored, was removed from Bel Air Jail
to Towsontown Jail, Saturday. Preston was in
dicted at the May term of the Circuit Court for
Hartford county, for the murder, on the morning
of the 18th of last April, in Bel Air, of col
ored woman named Mary Dorsey The case
was removed TO Baltimore county court, where
II will be tried at the present term of court
The murder was brutal one. The parties had
occupied the same room the night before, and
in the oning ncighbors heard screams issuing
from Preston's room and saw Preston running
away. The door was locked, and when broken
open the woman was found lying dead upon the
floor, in pool of blood, her skull having been
crushed, probably with an axe that stood
against the wall. Preston ran to the Jail and
begged to be placed in a cell and locked in,
fearing the Indignation of the colored people.
A large number of witnesses, principally col.
ored, have been summoned in the case who are
required to attend court at Towsontown. The
case will probably be called on the 18th of next
October.

KILLED BY THE CARs.-Last Saturday after
noon an eightyear.od son of the late j. X. Ber-
nard, of Perryville, while engaged in selling
peaches at that place to passengers on the four
o'clock train from Baltimore, attempted to
swing himself off the platform, as the cars start
ed, but fell under the cars which passed over
his left leg and right foot. His injuries are pro-
badly fatal. Those who saw him fall called
out to him to lay STILL as had he attempted to rise
he would have been knocked down or killed by
the car steps. He lay still, allowing three cars
to pass over his mangled limbs, and when the
train passed on he crawled up the steps of the
depot platform, dragging his left leg, which for
some distance below the knee hung by thread
OF flesh, and his right foot which was horribly
crushed, He was carried into house and DR..
Smith sent for, who arrived from llavre de Grace
some time after the accident. His father was
run over by the cars and killed at the Havre de
Grace end of the Susquehanna Bridge, last win
ter. Suit for $4,000 was brought against the
railroad company by Mr.. Bernard's family, and
the trial was set for Monday at Elkton.
