INCREASE IN THE SCHOOL LEvY.-The County
Commissioners have ordered levy of II cents
on the 500 for school purposes the coming
scholastic year. With the amount realized from
this the School Commissioners intend to run
the public schools four full terms. The surplus
it is expected, ill be sufficient to replace the
old school house No. 3, at Black Horse, 4lh dis
trict, with a new building, and also erect a
school house in Guupowder Neck, below Mag
nolia, where there is none now.
They also hope to be able to build new
house at Mulberry Point, below Michaelsville,
in place of No Z.
The School Commiss toner's applied for levy
of 16 cents on the 800, with which to keep the
schools open during the entire school year, and
asked for an additional amount TO build school
houses. The County Commissioners, however,
preferred TO levy small additional amount and
allow the School Commissioners TO expend it ac-
cording to their best judgment.
Last year the school levy was l2 cents on the
800, and about 50, 200 additional was appropri-
ated for school houses, of which new ones were
built at Cooptown, Perrymans, Hopes and
Broad Creek

History repeats itself in curious and
varied forms. The gospel of st. Luke tells
us of belief prevalent in the Sayiour's time
that PLATE mingled the blood of Galiean
Jews with their sacrifices Now the Atlantic
cable brings us an account of II trial in pro-
gress at Vienna, where certain Hungarian
Jews are accused of having murdered a
young Christian girl in order To obtain her
blood TO mingle it with their passover bread
The chief witness is n boy fourteen years old,
who tcstifies that lie saw the gll slain Iy
his father, and details how the victim was
held so as to lose none of her blood. 1t
seems strange to read, in the light Of the
ninsteenth century, off superstition so hor
ribe, occurring, too, in country that for
centuries was the bulwark of ChrisicndOm

The Baltimore city Democratic conven-
vention organized, last Thursday evening,
with Gen. Geo. S. Brown chairman, and
other officers. Without transacting any
other important business the body adj
iourned to meet July 10th, when Democrat
ic ticket will be nominated. The convention
was harmonious The vote stood 100 for
Gen. Brown, the candidate Of the Young
Democracy, and 60 for James w McElroy,
who was named by the regulars. The Bal
timore Sun says:
The verdict of the convention was most
decidedly in favor of the new departure in
party methods and wholesome respect for
the popular will 1t may now he hoped
that the crisis has been successfully passed,
and that when the convention meets again,
on the 10th ofneXt month, such measures will
be matured as will entillc the Democratic
party of Baltimore city to the full confid.
ence of the people.
The nomination Of Judge llnndly rs the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio
is conceded to be the strongest that could
have been made. The platform declares
against sumptuary legislation and in favor
of regulating the liquor rattle by a judicious
license system; also for Il tariff for revenue,
limited to the necessities of a government
economically administered, and so adjuste d
in its application as to prevent unequal bur
dens, encourage productive interests at home,
and afford just compensation to labor, but
not 10 create or foster monopolics." The
platform condemns the Republicans for re-
ducng the tariff on wool while at the same
time increasing it on wooden goods, and pro-
nounces it discrimination in favor of mon
opolies and against agricultural interests
Congressman IIoltons friends are in
duslriously working up boom for him for
the Republican nomination for Governor of
Maryland. In the event of the Republicans
securing control OF the Legislature, ExPost-
master General Crcswell it is believed, will

said to be pulling together for their joint in

element is really the Republican party in
Maryland, they are not recognized in the dis
tribution of offices. Resolutions were adopt.
ed calling for Il State convention of colored
voters in order that the issue may be
clearly defined and met.

Wednesday morning the approach to Bynam's

washed and wheat was knocked down to such
an extent as to make it difficult to harvest
Corn fields also suffered considerably. The
road from Bel Air to Bynams Run was
greatly injured in places and will require con-
siderable outlay TO put it in proper condition
again. A road-scraper could probably be used
to great advantage on this part of the road.

THE PHILADELPHIA EXTENSION. Work upon
the Philadelphia extension of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad will begin in few days, near Bay
view, three miles east of Baltimore city. The
bridge over the Susquehanna is the most i'm
portant work on the line and will require as
much time in its construction as will be neces-
sary TO complete the grading of the road and the
laying of the rails. Offices for the bridge eng.
neers are now being prepared in Havre de
Grace. The bridge will be of iron of the trian-
gular truss order of architecture The stone
will be obtained from the granite quarres ofth
late John Keavcny, Port Deposit. The right
of way, it is stated has been secured on more
than twothlrds of the line between Baltimore
and the Susquehanna The extension will cost as
much, perhaps, as any 100 miles of railroad ever
built in this country, 1t is proposed to make
connection with Camden station by way of
Locust Point.
The Baltimore american of Tuesday gives the
route of the new railroad in detail Starting
at point near Bayview junction, the new line
will run parallel with and south of the Phila-
delphia turnpike, passing near the abandoned
Joppa iron works. Then comes q bridge over

The sale was made in 1898, by the late Ohio
Scott, as Trustee, and was formally ratified and
confirmed by the court. The property in

by Ohio Scott to Hartford county, a large por.
ton of the ground upon which the town of Bel

some of whom live in Ohio, that the proceeding
under which the property was sold were de-

was an extremely careful, pains-taking lawyer
and it is not at all probable that any flaw can BIZ
found in his work AS a general principe, too
the undisputcd possession of the property fol
