What General Chapman il Doing.

Through The efforts OF our representative,
Gen. Chapman, the Committee on Commerce
OF the House Of Representatives have recon-
mended an appropriation for he purpose OF
making preliminary survey Of Piscttaway
creek, in Prince Georges county. and Chickh-
muxcn and Fort 7 Ghacco creeks. in this county
in order TO ascertain the practicahi ity aud
utility of dredging sid creeks. If the report
OF the survey should be favorable, aspirations
would probably be made at the next
session for the purpose of dredging said
creeks. The Committee on Commerce has, also,
through the offices OF Gen. Chapman, recon-
mended an appropriation OF $1,000 each for
dreda ing Lconardtown and ST. Jerome :
creeks, in St. Mary's county.
Gen. Chapman has also succeeded in procur-
ing report from the light House Board ia
able TO the erection of Light Houses at the
mouth of Patuxent River. In their report the
Board say: The interests of commerce and
and navigation require that two range lights
be esta} ljsted 10 guide into the mouth OF
Patuxent River, which atfyrdS valuable harbor
of refuge To- vessels passing up and down
Chesapeake bay" They estimate the cost at
$4,000 The Committee or Commerce have
introduced bill in accordance with such re-
commentator, at the estimated cost. At the
suggestion OF Gen. Chapman, the Light House
Board also have under consideration the plac-
ing of buoys to guide navigation in the Patux-
ent as far up at least as Benedict. 1t will thus
be seen that vigilant Representative has
not been idle.

Registers AdVices.

According to the new registration law the
States Attorneys for the several counties are
the legal advisers of the registers, and the
county commissioners of each county are TO
pay them $50 for their services.
In connection with registration officers Gov.
Hamilton desires it to be known that under the
late registration act no provision is made for
the employment of clerks by registers. He
stated Saturday that he intended to carry out
fully the provisions Of the registration law, and
would hold the appointed registers of voters TO
a strict accountability for their actions. In no
case, he said, would clerks be employed to as,
sist in the duties Of the office who are not
sworn, but when necessity demanded it he
would appoint assistant registers, properly
sworn TO act in conjunction with the regularly
appointed registers in these very important
duties, who would also be held responsible for
a correct and faithful fulilmeut of their obi
cations to the trust reposed in them.

The case of Ferguson vs.. Neale, suit TO re-

which defendant had recently purchased, was
argued before the Court by Robertson for
plaiutitf and Brent for defendant and was held

for with considerable interest. 1t seems that
when Mr. Neale purchased the farm, Mrs. Fer
CURSOR. sister OF the former Owner, held a one
fifth interest in the land which fell to her at the
death OF her father. The apportionment was not
made until after Mr.. Neale had planted his
crops. and then the land on which the crops
were planted Was allotted to plaintiff in this

The growing crop of wheat in this county
is quite promising and the indications are that
there will be very good crop.
Corn is up in some fields, but shows the
effect Of the cold, wet weather. In some case.
the corn has come up badly. but generally
there is not mnch complaint.
Oats of course are mere side crop, as it
were, and but few persons pay any attention
10 them. The growing crop is looking very
well, and promises fair yield Mr. J. II.
Roberts has fed of oats near this village
which are certainly the finest We have seen
growing in this section for many years. II
nothina occurs TO prevent he will harvest IA
fine yield
Most of our farmers are now ready TO plant
their tobacco Some have already stuck II few
plants but generally the beds are as vet un-
tonohed. From al accounts that We can gather
there will be a large crop planted this year,
possibly larger than usual.

Railroad Accident

On Saturday evening last, as the mixed trian
was on its way to Bowie from Pope's Greek
when near Hoffman's mill, a short distance
above La Plata the engine ran off the track
Both driving wheels being of the track it took
considerable time TO get the engine back again,
and hence the train was delayed many hours.
1t did not reach Bowie until between 8 and
o clock in the evening. Fortunately no one
was hurt by the accident. We learn from the
Marlboro Gazette that on Monday evening as
the same train nearing that station from
the south, the drawhead of the cars was pulled
out. No one hurt, and in IA short time the
damage was repaired. On Monday evening as
the passenger train was on its way down, il
ran over valuable mule belonging to Mr.. A.
W Neale near Ammon's old mill. Both OF
the animals fore legs were broken and Mr..
Neale had killed to end its suffering. The
mule was valued at $500 Quite chapter Of

To Registers of Voters.

We relieve that it has been suggested TO
some of the registrars to appoint day on
which to NEE; in body and discuss some pro-
per method of proceeding and of their duties
generally under the new Registration act
This, we think, is a wise suggestion and one
that should be acted on without delay for it is
necessary that some uniform method of con-
Quoting the registration should be decided on
by the registrars in each county. We mean
such methods as are not already fully provided
for bv the law We notice that some such ac-
ton has been taken by registrars in Other
counties of the State, and notice given through
the local press If this should he done we are
sure it viii. inure to their benefit. We would
suggest some day during the present month,
say Tuesday the 18th or Saturday the 18th. II
these will suit the majority of registrars and
they will notify us by postal card and we will
make it public in our next issue.
