County Finances.

On Monday Messrs. Ohio S. Lee, Henry
w. Archer, Jr., and r. T. Martin, commit
tee appointed by the County Commissioners
to examine the books of Mr.. Geo. r. Cairnes,
late Treasurer reported to the board that
they carefully examined the said books and
accompanying vouchers, from the time of the
preceding examination, June 18Th, 1889, to
January 31st, 1888, inclusive, and found the
accounts correctly kept and receiptcd vouch.
ers for all the amounts paid ont by Mr.
Carnes.
The committee further reported that there
was in Mr. Cairnes hands 81 ,0S1 AS, being q
portion of the contingent fund levied for by
the County Commissioners, and $9GG72 of
money received from licenses for the sale of
fertilizers in Hartford county, making toge-
ther $3054.15 of county funds in his hands
to the date named This amount Was paid
over to the Commissioners by Mr. Cairnes
and placed in the hands of Mr.. G. w. Proc
tor, the present Treasurer, by whom it will
be disbursed upon the order of the County
Commissioners. The amount received from
fertilizer licenses is, by aprovison Of the act,
to be expended upon the public roads
Weventure to suggest to the County Com
mssioners that this amount and all that may
hereafter be realized from the same source,
be applied to turnpikng certain portions of
the public roads that can be permanently re-
paired in no other way. Thus in few years
many of the worst places can be made good
without drawing upon the general road
fund.
The balance in hand of the contingent
fund will be more than sufficient to build the
new barn at the Almshouse, which has been
made necessary by the construction of the
Maryland Central Railroad, the line of which
passes through the old barn.
The finances of the county are in highly
satisfactory condition. The school bonds
are all paid and the county is free of debt
Our public roads are in as good condition as
it is possible to keep them, without turnpik-
ing them. The vastly increased amount of
heavy hauling over nearly all of them, con-
sequent upon the canning industry and the
general increase of business in the county,
makes it difficult matter to keep the roads
smooth at all times, but we are satisfied that
the present board of Commissioners have
done and are doing everything in their power
for the comfort and convenience of the pub
lie in this particular. Insuperable natural
obstacles occur in some sections of the
county, such as steep hills, rocks &c, which
battle the efforts of the best road .supervisors
to keep their roads in good order, but the
general condition of Hartford roads is fifty
per cent better than it was twenty-five years
ago

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE IN THE SoUTH.-A cy.
clone, appalling in its effects swept over large
portion of the west and SOUTH last Sunday. It
originated in Oregon, and crossed the Rocky
Mountains, passed through Idaho, Wyoming,
Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas to Southern Mis-
souri,, where it broke up into three separate and
distinct hurricanes, one of which passed almost
due south into Mississippi another southeast
wardly into Georgia. and the third eastwardly
into North Carolina.
The storm in Iowa struck the village of Dan
bury, destroyed church and come houses and
barns, and Injured severely several persons
The most disastrous effects, however, were
felt in Mississippi, where nearly one hundred
persons were killed and three hundred wounded
The little town of Beauregard, in Copiah county,
was swept out of existence and in the neighbour
ing town Of Wesson, of 9, 900 inhabitants, from
40 to 200 dwelling houses were prostrated.-
Everything in the way of the hurricane was
swept away-houses, barns, fences, trees, crops
and stock. In one cabin were five people, who
say that the walls and roof were carried away,
leaving the people standing unhurt on the floor.
Another account says that at colored church
negro man was taken bodily up, and the last
seen of him he was far above the earth, wildly
beating the air with his hands, as if seeking
something to stay his progress.
In Sumter county, Ca, twenty-five persons
are said to have been killed and two hundred
wounded. AT Albany eight persons were killed
and twenty-five wounded. The destruction of
property all along the track of the storm is said
to be very great. Much damage was also done
by that division of the hurricane which swept
through Tennessee and passed into the Atlantic
ocean at Morehead City, North Carolina.

in contrast to domestic routine, and was Undue
ed by them to leave home.

WEDDING AT FREDERICK.-The marriage of

Give ii n Fair Trial.

The law prohibiting the sale of intoxcat-
ing liquors in Hartford county will go into
effect next Tuesday, May 1st 1t was adopt
ed by vote of 1859 out of a registered vote
of 1925, and by II majority of 1,lSG Of those
voting on the question last November If it
shall be found by experience that under its
operations intemperance is increased instead
of diminished, the people will demand and
obtain its repeal
There is no difference of opinion among
good citizens ms to the evil of intemperance
yet it must be conceded that there is an hon
est divergence of views as to the remedy
1t remains to be seen therefore, whether the
law soon be put in operation will prove tffi-
cacious or not in supressing intemperancc.-
While the court and its officers will no doubt
faithfully endeavor to enforce the law, as
other laws on the statute books are enforced,
their efforts will be powerless unless sustained
by the moral sentiment ofthe people. With.
out this prohibition must prove failure
With public sentiment in its favor it may
become blessing. We do not expect that
any good result from the law will be seen at
once. Reckless men, with neither reputa-
ton nor money to lose, will evade the law
and sell intoxicating liquors surreptitiously,
and this fact will for time, at least, swell
the criminal dockets of our courts The peo-
pie of Hartford are, however, law abiding, and
even those who honestly differed with the
majority as to the expediency ofthe measure,
will unite in enforcing it while it remains on
the statute book.
Therefore let the new law have fair trial
on its merits As it may be construed it
provides opportunities for the qualification
of petty spite and malice, but it should be en-
forced wisely, judiciously and firmly, not in
vindictive and arbitrary spirit. Any other
course will inevitably defeat the object the
majority had in view in adopting it, and
increase rather than diminish the evils of in
temperance.

of the county, died at Lis residence, near Fall
ston, Monday night, of paralysis, with which he

advanced age, was remarkably active, nearly up

Handmade Outside SOldereL Cans.

Messrs. A. NJ. Hancock & Co., Churchvlle have
contracted for the manufacture of one million
fruit cans better than any heretofore sold in the
county. Recognizing the rapidly extending pre-
JUDGE against inside soldered cans, they have had
these soldered on the outside and made of much
heavier tin than is ordinarily used. 1t is proba-
BILE that the pack of Hartford county this year
will be the largest ever made and If the market
should happen to be dull, a preference will lnev-
tably be given to goods in outside sodered heavy
cans, that will bear shipment to Europe and other
distant points, Messrs. Hancock Co. sell these
superior cans at Baltimore prices. Samples may
be seen at their office in Churchville, at W Smith
son Forwood's, Bel Air, and at J. H. & F. N. En-
mord,s, Perrymans. Gamers will do well to
examine these cans They will be sold on terms
to suit the convenience of buyers.
