A Novel Case.-Noah Wsner, through his
counsel, Messrs. Grason & Grason, has procured
from the Circuit Court here a writ of mandamus
directed to the County Commissioners, requiring
them to show cause why they should notpay over
certain amount allowed under the code, as per
diem for the detention of States witnesses in Jail
to secure their attendance at the trial of the case.
The novel feature in this case is that the petit
toner himself, Mr.. Wisner, was indicted for as
saulting one or both of his two minor children,
little girls, the latter being held in Jail to testify
against their father. The code allows 81 per day
to witnesses so held and the amount in the present
case was about 5000, only $50 of which the Com
missioners would pay. Hence the above pro-
ceedings. The matter is yet to be argued.

OLDFIELD'S ExCELSIORPUMP.

I HAVE greatly increased my facilities for max
Ling Pumps by building a LARGE STEAM
SAW MILL AND PUMP FACTORY, which is
supplied with all necessary machinery for making
PUMPS OF THE BEST QUALITY, a full sup
ply of which are always on hand
The stocks being prepared months in advance
are thoroughly seasoned and impart no disagree
able taste to the water. Being made and put up
by me with the greatest care they WILL OUT
LAST ANY IRON OR ORDINARY WOODEN

Pumps put in in any part of the State and guar
anteed for one year; they will be kept in order
for ten years afterwards at 81 per year.

Arlington Items-A protracted meeting has
been in progress at the NJ. E. church South for
about week, but with little success thus far In
fall and winter O'Clock is rather late to begin
church services in the country, where often those
who attend live a mile or two away, and doubtless
the small attendance at evening service at our
Methodist churches may be traced to this
Even those who live comparatively near seem to
require considerable zeal to prompt them to at
tend regularly.
McKendree Chapel has been undergoing repair
and is to be newly painted. The steeple has
already received a coat and looks quite attractive.
A troop of soldiers passed through this place
last Sunday morning, creating some surprise and
exciting the wonder and admiration of the juve-
niles along the road A few questions elected the
information that they had marched from Gettys-
burg and were en- route for their respective homes.
Their appearance may have imbued the small
boys of the village with enthusiastic notions of
military glory and caused their fertile magma
lions to paint pictures of fierce conflicts. If so,
shall see sundry companies of young urchins
marching sin battle array" while every dilapi-
dated tin pan and discarded broom stick will be
utilized.
We have an organization here rejoicing in the
title of "Literary Association, which meets Mon
day evenings for the purpose of discussing the
momentous questions of the day. Well,
"This great association, in the nations veal or
woe.
Takes stand, and on its standing, moves the sub
ject to and fro,
Until every point is argued and the opponents out
of breath,
Speeches., glare upon each other defiance unto
DEATH"
wrote sly local poet who slid in among them I'M
awares during one of their animated debates, and
gave them an elaborate and beautiful "take off"
in the columns of one of the county papers. Of
course this poem caused a little stir among the
members and "whO YVES the author?" was the sub
ject of speculation. That parsonage, however,
obstinately remained in the back ground and after
one or two subsequent illusions vanished entirely.
But, though himself lost to sight, his nom de
plume yet remains fresh in the minds of the mem
bers. Perhaps his genius short-lived, or he
may be compiling work on the sayings and do
ings of the Literary" which, he intends shall one
day eectrfy the world. Whether either of these
theories is correct or not the bard and time alone
can tell. Suffice to know that we have brilliant
minds here which. like precious gems of the earth,
are so hidden among the masses surrounding
them that for awhile they may be allowed to re-
main undiscovered, but not forever BESSIE A.

Representatives from the "Feefth."-
The Stiler assault cases were tried in the Circuit
Court here on Monday, and there were some thirty
witnesses from the neighbOrhood of Beckleysville,
'FeefJh DISTRICT" some of whom got little too
much Towsontown "eye-water" on board, and the
result was many grotesque and amusing specta-
cles. Some of the gang looked like they had es-
capped from the Dime Museum, while others, who
had seen more of the world, feigned disgust at
the conduct of their fellows. We shall not soon
look upon their like again-unless there should
be another Stif1er case. Mr.. John Kearney was
also a witness in the case and enjoyed the antics
of the others with as much zest as anybody.

a Melancholy "Reminiscences

Recalling a Melancholy "Reminiscences.
The Richmond (Va.) correspondent of the Bat
timorean says: "The recent marriage of Gen. JOS.
r. Anderson, of this city, to Miss Mary E. Pc
gram, at Towsontown, near Baltimore, recalls a
melancholy Renaissance. The brides father was
among the most accomplished gentlemen in Vir-
ginia, and resided here for many years, during
which he was president of the bank of Virginia.
Going west on official business for the institution
over which he presided, intelligence reached here
one morning by mail that the steamer Lucy
Walker had burst her boiler in Kentucky waters
and among the killed was Gen. Jas W. Pegram,
of Richmond, Va. feeling of sadness spread
over the entire city, for no citizen was more de-
servedly and generally popular. This was nearly
40 years since"

Very Serious Driving Accident.-Dr. J.
W. Hawkins, well known physician of the Sth
district, living near Csckeysville, and Mr.. Chas.
0. Kemp, keeper of the county ams-house, met
with very serious accident on Wednesday after
noon. They were returning from Towsontown in
the Dr.'s buggy, and when near the residence of
Mr.. Samuel Ceilings, on the York road, the horse
frightened at some hogs and started to run. Mr..
Kemp was thrown out first and was badly stunned
and bruised. The Dr., in his attempt to check
the horse, was thrown over the dash board on his
head and was dragged some distance. He had
his collar bone badly broken and was otherwise
very seriously injured, to such an extent in fact
that he did not regain consciousness until the fol-
lowing morning. Mr.. Harris Ceilings removed
him to his home. At last accounts his condition
was thought to be critical.

Historic Coins.-It is claimed by number
Of newspapers that there are but three cents in
istence answering the description following: On
one side is the head of Washington and around it
the words "Washington and Independence" on
the reverse side are the words "One Cent" and
around the edge "Unity of States" and at one
side these figures 100 1t is claimed that only
three of these cents were struck to exhibit to
President Washington for his opinion in 1898, and
that he disapproved of his name being on it, Civ
ing as reason that it was the peoples country
and not Washngton's. We have been informed
that VIM. S. Keech, Esq, has one of these coins.
That there are only three in existence seems to be
exploded as VIM. H. Shirley, living on the Liberty
road in the I'd district, possesses the fourth one
the one above described. Who has another?

two deaths have occurred in this neighborhood,
the first being that of Mr.. Valentine Hami aged
rs years, who died on the Goth ult., and the Sec
ond Miss Sadie Miller, aged "a years, daughter of
Mr.. Frederick Miller who died on the 4th inst
She had gone to the city to visit her uncle and
while there was taken with typhoid fever, which
terminated in her death. Her remains were in
TERED in the family burying ground the services
having been conducted at Hiss NJ. Z. church by
Rev. Mr.. Loenberger in German, and Rev. Mr..
Richardson in English. Miss Miller was mem
Der of the Lutheran church but was a constant at
tendant at Hiss for n number of years. where she
was also faithful Sunday school teacher. She
was remarkably pleasant and kind young lady
and was highly esteemed by all who knew her.
Her mother died about eight years ago, since which
time the of her fathers household had fallen
upon her, and in addition she had carefully raised
three brothers much younger than herself In her
death the community has lost a true christian
lady, and co-workers in the Sunday school faith

funeral was attended by about three hundred per-
sons. The floral tributes numerous and
beautiful the casket being covered with handsome
devices of all kinds.
number of persons residing near the
Hartford road, have lately sustained losses by
having their wagons robbed while attending the
Belair market. On Saturday night last Mr.. Henry
Kerns left his market wagon standing on the west
side Of the market, near Hillen street, and while
he was temporarily absent the team was driven
off. Mr.. Kerns reported his loss to the police and
on Sunday morning the horse and wagon were
found and returned to the Western police station,
but the contents of the wagon, including barrel
of flour, lot of groceries and other articles, were
missing. On the same night the wagon of Mr.
Francis Weary, while standing in the market, was
robbed of lot of groceries, &c. A thief also got
into the wagon of Mr.. William Yasper, but he was
frightened off before he had time to secure any
booty. These thefts have become very annoying
and in some instances the losses have been quite
heavy.
Mr.. George A. Bosley, who runs stage line on
the Hartford road has moved from near the emile
stone to point on the same road near Boarman's
tavern, and will hereafter run his coach every day
on the main line of the road from his residence to
Baltimore and return. He has discontinued his
trips on the west prong of the same road.
Mr.. Peter Casey continues to run his stage line
from Beair to Batimore-down one day and up
the next-and he is being literally patronized.
Messrs. Cummins & Crew have sold their lease
of the Halls Springs Hotel to Mr.. John Brack, of
Baltimore who will hereafter conduct the place
a pleasure garden. NIGILANT.

From Wesley Chapel, 10th District
Mr.. Luther Sutton was engaged in husking corn
few days ago when he was somewhat startled
by the report of a gun pistol near him, follow
ed by the squealing of hog. He started to
learn the cause and had not gone far before he
saw man, with his back towards him, apparent
ly struggling with something on the ground and
at the same time heard the squealng of the hog,
which, however, was growing fainter and fainter.
He approached nearer and to his surprise found
the man to be big colored fellow known as "Big
SAM" who had one of his (Sutton's) fattening
hogs on the ground, trying to choke the life out
of it. When Sam saw Mr.. Sutton he made
number of excuses, but upon being threatened
with arrest took to his heels and ran off. 1t is
said he has gone to Pennsylvania.
On Sunday last while Mr.. Jehu Williams and
wife were returning from West Liberty church,
in descending the hill at Mr. VIM. SHADES, a por-
ton of the harness gave way, frightening the
horse and causing him to kick himself entirely
loose from the buggy. Fortunately neither of
the occupants were hurt and the buggy was not
materially damaged. Mr.. John Pearce came
along and took Mrs Williams home.
Mr.. Nicholas Bull, living near Black Horse,
died on the 5th inst, in the 55th year of his age
