The Patapsco Dairy Association met here
on Wednesday evening last, and was presided
over by Can't. w. p Gorsuch. The meeting
was largely attended, nearly every dairyman
on the line of the b. 4 o. Railroad being
present. Mr. Thomas j. Belts stated that
the object OF this meeting was to discuss the
price of milk. Mr. w G. Polk made mo-
ton that the price of milk be raised to Is
cents per gallon from the LIST of December to
the LIST Of May, which was unanimously
adopted Mr.. X. Hutchins followed with n
motion that every producer of milk present
pledge himself to abide by the above resolu-
ton. which was carried. Mr.. Thos. j. Belts
moved that a committee of three be appointed
to draw up a constitution for the government
of the permanent Dairy Association, to be
submitted to the Association at a meeting to
be held here on the first Thursday in January,
1884. at 10 o clock, a. M, which was carried,
when the following committee were appoint
ed ThOs. J. Belts, j. Frank Shipley and }.
d. Warfield. The meeting then adjourned.
This meeting was the largest held for some
time, and the dairymen appeared IN earnest.
We hope they will win in all their undertake
ings, as this interest has been generally gov
erned by the commercial dalrymen of Balti
more city. who have reaped all the profits
from the sale of milk. There are a few of
our dairymen who lack sand in their craw,
but the majority are determined that their IN
terest shall be protected.

was the fall quarterly meeting, held chiefly to
make preparations to pay the fall term sala-
ries, which was accomplished. Little other
business than that of the adjustment of the
teachers reports and the settlement of their
accounts was introduced. In auditing the
teachers reports it was observed that charges
for janitor service were irregular, and in some
instances extravagant; and, therefore, an
order was made that henceforth no charges
for janitor service will be allowed except in
cases wherein the school trustees shall have
made the contract and signed an order for
the payment therefor. The ensuing monthly

Death of a FORMER Carroll Countian.

Death of n Former Carroll COuntian.
The Baltimore Sun of Saturday last says:
Peter Beecraft died yesterday, of old age and
dropsy, at the residence of his granddaughter,
No Oak street, in the 98th year of his age.
He was born in Carroll county, but had lived
in or near Baltimore for the last 20 years.
Mr. Beecraft in early life was a farmer, and
more recently private Waterman. He was
in the war of 1924, and was remarkably
hale and hearty until his last illness, which
began last April. He leaves two daughters
and number of grand and great-grandchil-
dren.
Though his name was not enrolled among
the Old Defenders, yet he took an active part
in the defense of Baltimore in 1914, and was
one of the minute men who served on that
memorable occasion. He was working in
field in Carroll county when he was called to
join the American army. He dropped his
pillow, bid his young wife ahasty goodbye and
started for Baltimore. After being assigned
to a company he was sent to the vicinity of
the scene of action. Up to the time of his
death he clearly remembered the localities he
visited during his career as a soldier. During
his career as a Waterman he was employed at
the old Lanvale Factory, which stood near
the northern boundary OF the city limits.
Forty years ago he was appointed by the city
authorities Waterman along the line of ones s
falls, in the neighborhood of the Falls road,
and did efficient duty in protecting the lives
of the citizens and their interests. In those
days the watchmen called aloud the hours of
the night, also the condition of the weather.
Mr.. Beecraft was one of the early residents of
the Falls road. He was a member of Foun
dry NJ. E. Chapel. His venerable appear
ance, pleasing manners and genial disposition
made him well known and respected in the
