To Owners Of Jerseys.-The following Gil
cular has been issued by Geo. B. Loring, Com.
missioner of Agriculture, to owners ofJersey CATH
in view of the reported existence of contagious
disease among cattle in Illinois
"Owing to the existence of q disease supposed
to be contagious peuro- pneumonia in several
herds of Jersey cattle in the state of Illinois,
hereby request that the owners of all herds d
Jersey cattle in the United States, into which the
new animals have been introduced since January
LIST, to stop the shipment of cattle until Oct. Isl.
The disease seems to have been introduced By
animals sold at Virginia, Cass county, ILL.,, il
February, 1884, and those animals were widely
distributed throughout the Western States. 1t $
hoped, therefore, that persons owning cattle, tra,-
ing to this sale, and all Others having cattle az
fected with diseases OF the lungs, will at once com
muncate with DIR. D. e. Salmon chief of tn,
Bureau of Animal Industry, in care of the Breed
ers' Gazette Chicago. and clearly state the condi-
ton of their herds and the symptoms of the dis.
ease.
-1.TL ~.t~-t;o> &C oattIa - -e;lroad
and other transportation companies, is called o.
section 7. of the act establishing the Bureau q
Animal Industry, which makes it misdemeancJ
punishable by fine Of not less than 500 or NOR
than $1,000, or by imprisonment for not more thap
year, or both, to ship cattle affected with any
contagious, infectious or communicable diseases,
and especially with the disease known pleuro
Pneumonia, from one State Territory into aroth-
or. The cordial cooperation of the state autbori
ties, and all persons interested in the welfare Ct
our cattle industries is earnestly desired in order
to avert this danger which now menaces the herds
of the country"

Baltimore County Jail and Almshouse

Baltimore County Jail and Almshouse
Mr.. Goldsborough S. Griffith, president of thu
Prisoners Aid Association of Maryland, having
visited our county Jail and almshouse, says o.
those Institutions:
"I visited Baltimore county Jail, accompanied
by Rev. L. F. Zinkhan; found eighty-two pris
oners. OF these, five were women and one color
ed girl, held for firing Mr.. Newmans property
Most of the cases are for petty larceny; twenty
peace cases, one for horse stealing, one assault
with intent to kill about twelve are held fol
trespass and malicious destruction of property
the rest are tramps. Three of the inmates arg
insane and held simply for safe keeping
"This Jail has twenty -four cells. The manage
ment, under Sheriff Joseph R. Knight, is excellent
and the sanitary condition good as possible,
considering its crowded condition. The pump
and water tanks need repairing, and additional
mattresses should be supplied. Each cell con-
tains only one mattress, while most of them have
from four to five occupants. number OF the IN
mates are held on the most trivial charges, and
some of them are incarcerated from three to four
months awaiting trial, at an expense OF from forty
to sixty dollars per capita. If the county magls-
trates could receive u fixed salary, instead OF
fee for each commitment and be well qualified
we believe the number of prisoners would be
materially decreased. The gravity OF an ofense
would be more seriously weighed before com
mitment is made, unnecessary delay for trial
would be avoided, and large saving would ac-
crue to the county.
"The Baltimore county almshouse has 81 in
mates. which is a less number than they have
sheltered for long time; 20 of these are insane
and white and colored children, for whom
suitable homes will be secured at once. Mr.. w.
H. w. Reed is the superintendent and his wife
the matron. The sanitary condition is excellent
The whole building looked neat and clean, and
the food for the inmates was very good. Their
conduct gives evidence that their religious in
struction, under Rev. Mr. Pindall, of Cockeysville
is prolific of great good, and we were much
pleased to find that the asylum had resident
physician, DR.. Chas. r. Whiteford, who gives
every attention to the sick and infrm.

"Reminiscences of 1914 Judge John X.
Carroll, of the Orphans Court of Baltimore had
a conversation with NeUs reporter 18th in
slant, and wildly recalled events that transpiref
seventy years ago. He said: at was the 18th
of September, 1914, when the whole city was I'M
der marshal law, and the Inhabitants were by no
means in comfortable situation. All men over
eighteen and under forty five were mustered into
ranks to do regular duty, while all those over
forty years, were required to do patrole duty at
night.
"The judge was then a mere boy, but having
two brothers, who dead, in the army,
was constantly among the soldiers, and had an
opportunity of seeing much that was going on
He gives description of the march of "our boys"
as he calls them, to Bladensburg, where they met
the enemy and were driven back. The day was
bright and clear, he said, and the boys marched
with quick step, and made pretty appearance.
After the fight there and the burning of the cap
ital and public buildings at Washington, the
judge gives an interesting account of the landing
of General Ross and his troops at North Point,
their meeting with the city volunteers under the
command OF General Armistead, and the killing
of General Ross The intrenchments of the vol
unteers, he says, reached from near Canton to the
York road, and where Patterson Park now stands
was battery, under the command of Commodore
Rogers. A portion of the earth works may be
still seen in the park. He remembers the night
of the 18th by the British and their intercepton
by Captain Webster, of the six gun battery. He
also rembembers the nights of the bombardments,
and tells how our boys" poured red hot shot in
to the English and thus saved the city. He also
recalls the meeting of committee to consider the
avisabiity of surrendering the city to the enemy
and thereby saving many lives and much prop
erty. This was objected to by Colonel John
Eager Howard, who said he had five sons in the
field and would rather see them all brought home
dead than surrender"

Mr.. Edward Behan, ticket agent for the
Maryland Central road at Boundary avenue, and
Capt. II. d. Emmart, the Oldest conductor on the
line, were discharged last Saturday, but for what
reason we have not been able to ascertain. Mr..
Behan was most popular, careful and obliging
official, and the same may be said of Capt. En-
mart, who has been on the road since it first open
ed. general feeling of regret is expressed that
these two popular men should have met this fate.
Mr.. j. D. Roe, of Towsontown, is at present filling
Mr.. Behan's place.
We stated last week that county official
had been eectioneerng in the 9th and 7th districts
with box of cigars and two gallons of ice-c cream.
This was an error. He only had half gallon of
cream. No wonder he was badly left. But he
has great belief in the potency of ice-cream on
the unterrifed Democracy of the supper eend,"
and we have doubt that he will establish
foundry for the manufacture of that seductive
article before next falls campaign. He thinks it
bids fair to be regular game of "freeze out"
and he wants to keep up with the procession.
The Shrewsbury correspondent of the York
Gazette says: "The Stewartstown people have
located their railroad. The line crosses the turn
pike at grade about of mile south of Centre
Square, in this place. For our purposes this dis
lance won't help us any worth speaking of, indeed,
don't believe ii is worth while for our people to
consider its advantages for moment. The prop
oslton 10 improve our iaciiltIes from mere 10 the
N. c. over our old road, should receive attention
at once by our people. If they are not entirely
stone blind to their interest they will move at
once"
We hope the people of Baltimore county
will turn out in force to fair, which begins on
the Both inst, because in no other way can it be
made success Our citizens should feel enough
pride in this laudable enterprise to show by their
presence that they take an interest in matters
pertaining to the advancement of our county
good, and this can be accomplished in no better
way than by attending our own county fair. We
hope to see such crowds upon the grounds as have
never been seen before, and we feel quite safe in
saying that all who attend will feel that they have
contributed their mite towards the encouragement
of an institution in which every citizen should
feel a inst nride.

VIM. N. Cronkrite.
Freeport Bulletin.

VIM. N. Cronkrite, son of Hon. Z. L.
Cronkrite, is now a full fledged lawyer.
He returned home on Friday afternoon
from Mt. Vernon, where, on Wednesday,
he passed a rigid examination in the ap-
pellate court of the 4th district of Illinois,
before special committee composed of
Hon. E. B. Green, of Mt. Carmel; Hon.
A. 5. Wilderman, OF Belleville; and Hon.
S. P. Wheeler, of Cairo. He was one of a
of class nineteen young law students from
different parts of the state, who were ex~
amined at the same time, and all but two
came through successfully. Mr.. Cronkrite
read law in the office of Hon. James s.
Cochran, states attorney, and in the past
few years in which he has been pursuing
his studies he has played the part of the
prosecuting attorney in many cases, and
where merit was on his side he almost in
variably won the day. He has been a
close student and is now amply rewarded
for his labors. He is possessed of good
education, aside from legal qualification,
and as he has shown in practice while a
student, he knows full well how to apply
himself in working up case. If there
is anything in name he will make a
powerful lawyer, as the initial "N' stands
for Napoleon, the great warrior Mr.
CrOnkrite says he shall remain in Free
port at least until after the election, so
that he may cast good democratic vote,
his first, as he was only twentyone last
July. Wherever he goes he will succeed
beyond doubt.
