The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1883-08-04


From Warren, 9Th District.-There seems
to have been some disappointment among the
readers of The UNION that there were no notes
| from here in its columns last week.
| We have had quite lively and interesting
time in village for the last month. The 4th
of July is memorable day for enjoyment. The
| Sabbath school of our place is almost as old as
the church in the village. 1t has been their Gus
tom to celebrate the 4th day Of July ever since its
organization. The custom kept up this year,
| and pleasant day spent. But the enjoy
ment of that day did not satisfy the school. So
they concluded to continue the enjoyment Of that
day by going to Druid Hill Park, on an excur-
! sion, Saturday, July Dist.
Mr.. Reuben Gladfelter was duly authorized to
confer with the Warren Manufacturing Company.
They took an interest in the movement and Mr..

| upon the officials of the N. c. R. r. who offered
| very liberal inducements to the Sabbath school
| and others who desired to join the excursion Mr..
| Reuben Gladfeter, superintendent of Warren
| Mills, reported duly his work to the school. The
report was accepted and arrangements were then
made to go to the park. A. III. Bell was made

Thomas Johnson, superintendent of the school,
was the orator of the day. He made an address to
the school, giving incidents of the park, of whom
it was purchased and of the rambles over it in
his younger days, after which he enjoined it
upon the school to be careful in observing the
rules of the park. After prayer by Rev. Joshua
Cain, the school was set at liberty. Grove No. s
was not large enough to hold them Some went
to see the lion, the monkey house. bear pit,
Maryland House, Mansion House, etc. The
superintendent of the park spoke very common

under the control of no particular denomination.
Monkton and Vicinity. = The farmers
throughout this section have finished their har
vesting and the yield has been very abundant
The hail storm that passed through here about
two weeks ago, did considerable damage to corn
fields along the line of the Gunpowder Falls,
stripping off the blades and leaving the stock
bare.
The thunder storm Saturday night last
quite severe here. The lightning stunned one of
Mr. A. J. Rowe's best cows so seriously, that it
is believed she will not get over it.
Quite excitement was created here a few
days ago between TWO DrOlnerS-ln-IaW. Inc uH-
pleasantness was caused by the chickens of one
brother tresspassing on the property of the other
Firearms were resorted to, but serious damage
was done beyond the slight wounding of one cf

New Equity Rules.-September 1st next,
a new set of equity rules will go into effect in
this State These rules have been adopted by the
Judges of the Court of Appeals, pursuant to the
18th section of article of the Constitution of
this State, the design being to make the practice
the same in all the counties
After that date our Circuit Court as court OF
equity will be always open, heretofore, for the
transaction of business and the regular terms for
the return Of process and other practical pur-
poses will be of tlco months duration instead of
three as at present, and will commence the first
Monday of January, March, May, July, Septem-
Der and November. Defendants will have fifteen
days from the return of process served within
which to enter an appearance before they will be
treated in default for non-appearance; and
from the time of appearance entered defendants
will have twenty days within which to answer.
In consequence of the increase of terms as
above and the shortening of the time within
which appearance may be entered and answer
may be made, equity suits will make much more
rapid progress than at present. Various other
changes have been made Among others the office
of Commissioner to take testimony is abolished
and the court will appoint examiners, general or
special to take the testimony; Commissioners to
appoint guardians for infants also abolished
and the appointment will be made directly by the
court
A new set of rules regulating appeals to the
Court of Appeals has also been adopted.
The County Fair.-At Timonium, on Mon
day last, meeting was held of the managers of
the County Society to make arrangements for the
annual exhibition. nearly full Board was pres
ent and the members gave very encouraging re-
ports from all parts of the county to the inter-
est manifested by our citizens in the event. Every
indication seems to promise that the fair of the
present year will equal and probably exceed any
previous one the society has yet held.
The executive committee was requested to push
forward as rapidly as possible the preparations
of the buildings, grounds and track. Advertise
ments were ordered to be published (they are in
this weeks UNION soliciting bids for the privi-
leges usually sold, and proposals from bands who
wish to discourse sweet and loud music at the fair.
1t is understood the Board resolved to persevere
in the policy adopted last year of prohibiting the
sale of all Intoxicating liquors, including well
fermented or distilled beverages. Some of the
members were averse to this, on the ground that
the pecuniary loss to the society thereby was too
great, but the other view prevailed, much to the
qualification, as we hear, of the friends of the
temperance cause.
The fencing and buildings being lime
washed this week, the track put in order, the
water supply extended, and general preparations
made for an extensive display.
Care of Carriage Tops in Summer
Sponge off the top with clean cold water immedi-
ately after using. This will remove all dust and
tend to keep the enamel soft and elastic, and pre-
vent its sticking. 1t should be oiled occasionally
with sweet oil, applied with cloth, and atterward
rubbed with a linen silk rag. The top should
always be kept up when standing in the carriage
house. and be covered with a sheet. If the enamel
has cracked or turned gray, the top should be
washed off with CASTLE soap and soft water, and
well dried with "shammy." All parts where the
enamel is off and the leather is exposed should be
colored with vinegar and iron rust, and afterward
rubbed over with a coat of backing, prepared by
mixing small quantity Of ivory black with a
sufficient quantity of brandy to reduce it to
paste, and thinned with cream or sweet oil apply
