Judge Yellott delivered the opinion of the
Court of Appeals to-day in the Carroll county

chine. and by this means was deceived into
putting his name to a blank piece of paper
which was filed up as promissory note for
$780, The note was sold to third party.

the trial below, and the court below instruct
ed the jury that the defendant had given nc
evidence to prove he was not legally respon-
sible. The court says that this ruling was in
error, and reverses judgment below. 1t was
the case of Reindollar VS.. Fickinger.

To what great proportions the national
banking system has expanded is shown by the
report of the Comptroller of the Currency
upon their condition at the end OF the year
1882. They number 2, 1903 in all, with an m: ag-
gregate capital of nearly five hundred million
six millions, and other undivided profits ex-
ceeding fifty-f millions, total Of six hun
bred and seventy-six millions of dollars.
Loans and discounts amounted to billion
and quarter of dollars, and indiyidua! de-
posts to about a billion, one hundred millions.
These are big figures, and when one sees that
on a capital of S484, 1888, 492-to be exact
the profits still undivided are Sl9l PA, 1856
%, after annual payment OF dividends varying
from 6 to 10 per cent, it is easy to understand
that some people may think the banks are too
greatly favored, although the system is I'M
doubtedly the best the country has ever
known.-Baltimore american.

A Chicago dispatch on Wednesday says
those which. occurred few nights ago, was
made upon the Chicago and Evanston Rail
road last night. At about midnight a we'll
organized band of 800 men marched up South
port avenue to Fullerton avenue. They were
equipped with crowbars, jimmies, and pick
axes, and under the direction of chosen
leaders, proceeded to tear up the track, Five
hundred feet of rails were torn up and twisted
out of shape, and the ties and railroad bed
were destroyed for that distance. The police
had expected a riot, but the mob, by strata
gem had deceived them as to the time and
place. When the police arrived, the rioters
formed in line, marched some distance IN an
orderly manner and dispersed.

Establishment of Machine Repair Shops

There are number ofGrst-class mechanics
in Westminster, and others who would gladly
come if they had employment. These gentle
men, with others, are amply capable OF con-
Quoting a frst-class machine repair shop.
Such an establishment, We learn, could be
built and stocked for about $40, 900, and there
is fine field for operations here, as there are
no shops of this character nearer than Balti-
more or Frederick. In this county there are
not less than fifty engines and boilers that
would furnish considerable work, and there is
a vast amount of other machinery within a
radius of fifteen or twenty miles that would
be brought here for repairs If first-class re-
pair shop were established.
As a number of business men and men. OF
means are willing to invest in new industries
in Westminster, and have been considering
several projects, we would direct their atten-
ton to the ACCESSIBILITY of forming company
to conduct repair shops here on large scale;
Such shops are not only needed, but good
judges say they will pay.

At daylight Thursday morning Charles Nc
Donald and VIM. Mitchell, both very young
men, fought a desperate battle in ring
pitched near the Richmond coal wharves, in
Philadelphia. Twenty rounds were fought,
in all of which Mcdonald came out second
best. His father acted as his second, and al
though the son could scarcely keep on his
feet after the tenth round, the old man kept
him in the ring until he could fight no longer.
The principals, with the elder Mcdonald,
were arrested
