the walls of the ruins. The bricks will be

Clean Your Premises.

The season has arrived for general clean
ing up, and it is to be hoped that citizens will
give their premises, from cellar to garnet, a
thorough overhauling Look after your back
yard, outhouses and cutters, and see that they
are thoroughly cleaned and lined. This pre-
caution may prevent future sickness and con-
siderable expense. Don't wait until the City
Council make a tour of inspection, but Com
mence the good work at once. 1t is to the
interest of all to keep their premises clean.
Reeking hog pens must be looked after by the
city authorities. 1t is unsufferable that these

danger the health of the whole community.
Let the fifty deaths of children from diphtheria
in one season, in Frederick, attributed to
filthy hog pens, be a warning to Westminster.
If any one who keeps hog pen will not keep
it clean and free from offensive odors, lei

Council and its officers to look after the cleai-
illness ef the city, and to see that all nuisancef
are abated.

Shooting ARRAY Near Finksburs.

David Mack, Robert Mack and William
Moulton, the three colored men WAC were
parties to the shooting affray near tinksburg.
had hearing before Justice Slaysman, of
that place, on Thursday last. Messrs. Isaac
+. Pearson and Geo Nj. Pearce appeared for
the two Macks.
The first witness was Moulton one of the
prisoners. He presented rather battered
and used up appearance. The upper part of
his head was covered with bandages, one eye
was closed several front teeth broken. ole
arm in ii sling and finger covered with
wraps According to HIS storI the whole
Mack family, armed Nth pistpS and guns,
had been trying to extermn3 I'm, while he
had been quietrand inoffensiH and had i'll
sred no OF. n
I testimony of Mr.. Georgt Hill and -
"a riaf,ns. two gentlemen of the heighborhood
who HAPPENED to be at Mack OF the time OF
the difficulty, put very different face on the
matter The three prisoners are all members
of the same family-Robert being a son of
David Mack, and Moulton the husband of
daughter of Mack's wife-and all live on a
little property in which Mack's wife has a
life estate, with reversion to the daughter.
The three men had frequently quarreled over
the property, and on Sunday week the
trouble was renewed. Rough language was
used between them, and finally Robert Mack
and Mouton engaged in fsticuffs in the yard.
During the fight the latter picked up two
stones and threw them at his opponent, miss
ing him. Robert then got stone and threw
it at Moulton with better aim, striking him
in the head. Moulton at once ran to the
house and upstairs to his room, got double
barrelled gun, loaded with bird shot, and,
while descending the stairs with it, seeing
Robert Mack near the door, he aimed and
fired at him. Missing him, he pointed the
gun at Mack's wife and again fired. He also
missed her, though the load scorched her
dress. While firing he cried out that he would
kill every id s-n of a b-h in the house
Robert Mack now got a gun and Tired at
Moulton. The load struck the latter in the
head, producing an ugly wound, which at
once disabled him.
This ended the fight. Moulton was placed
in bed and physician summoned, who at
first thought the wound might prove fatal.
The man is now, hGN1rer, entirely out OF
danger.
The physician testified to cutting pistol
bullet out of Moultons hand, but there was
no evidence that any one had fired a pistol,
though young John Mack, another of David s
sons, had drawn one during the fight.
The Justice discharged David Mack and
held Robert Mack and Moulton in default OF
$500 each to answer to the grand jury. They
were brought to Jail Thursday evening.

Westminster as Summer Resort.

Westminster is noted for its salubrity, its
pure water and fresh mountain air. Located
upon PARIS Ridge, one thousand feet above
tide-water, away from malarial influences,
free from that annoying summer pest, mos
nuitoes, and within an hours ride of Balti-
more. with six trains daily, each way, it is ac-
.knowledged to be one of the most convenient
and desirable summer resorts, especially for
the business men of Baltimore, 30 be found
within the limits of the state. 1t is also the
cbeanest and easiest of access for the people
of the Eastern Shore or Southern Maryland,
who want to go to healthy and elevated To-
cation for change of air in the hot or autumn
nal months. Our city is now provided with
a number of well-kept hotels and boarding,
houses. where guests can be accommodated
in the best manner, and at price as reason
able as can be found elsewhere. Pure milk
and cream, fresh eggs, butter, vegetables,
fruit, and all the edibles supplied by the best
markets, insure a cuisine unsurpassed, and
sufficient to crafty the requirements OF every
taste. Westminster, therefore, is the most
convenient. healthiest and cheapest summer
resort that can be found in this or any other
state.
