Regular travellers on the Maryland Cen
trail road have noticed q very decided falling of
in travel since the order increasing the fares wen
into effect. Some have taken to the horse-cars
others use their own vehicles, while still Others
who formerly rode quite often, now patronize the
road less frequently.
A horse belonging to the York Road Rail-
way Company, died suddenly Wednesday night
at the Towsontown stable, from collie. The horses
dition. Most of them are very low in flesh, pre-
senting sad sight in comparison with the animals
formerly in use on the road.
The Baltimore county Changers harvest
bone festival will be held in the railroad park, at
Lutherville, next Tuesday, and should the weather
prove favorable doubtless an immense crowd will
be in attendance. 1t will be a union of the
farmers of the county and their friends, and it
must prove most pleasurable event.

found on the track of the Philadelphia, Whining

on Sunday night last. He was taken from his
perilous position and cared for during the night,
when he was turned over to the county authorities.
He said his name was Lawrence Arnold.
-I1e cltlzenS OF UNION, ISL ulstrict, are cOm-
planning very much of the neglected condition of
their school-house and grounds. There being no
entrance to the yard, the children are compelled,
says the Gainesville Argus, to climb rail fence,
and after getting over, of finding themselves in
what may be termed "cow-pen" rather than a
school yard.
Mr.. William II. Cranston, the well known
Govanstown builder, is erecting large addition
to the residence of G. ODonnell Lee, ESQ.,, on
DoIo II Ha olc hoo fha
house of Mr.. Norris, on Charles street avenue
near Woodbrook station. Mr.. Cranston is first
class mechanic and is giving entire satisfaction
to all who employ him.

berger, living on REGISTER avenue, was arrested
and committed to Jail on Friday of last week for
having struck Herman Schmick with a milk
crock. The wound was thought to be serious
The fight occurred while the men were at dinner
and grew out of some triaing matter. Another
case for the Grand Jury.
The "Unreal Club" composed of young
gentlemen residing in the vicinity of Owings Mills
and Reisterstown, gave grand ball in the Odd
Fellows Hall, Reisterstown, on Thursday night,
which was very largely attended and proved
most enjoyable event. Mr.. George Dickson Sears
was master of ceremonies, ably assisted by the
other members of the club.
Miss Rebecca B. Wardin, q most estimable
young lady, niece of Mr.. John E. Owens, died at
her uncle's residence, "Aigburth Vae," near
Towsontown, on Tuesday morning last. For about
two months past she had been great sufferer from
q dangerous lung trouble, and her death was not
unexpected. Her remains were inferred in Green
mount Cemetery on Thursday.
1t seems now there was a mistake in the
announcement of the sale of the York road news
paper route by Mr.. Josh Frock, but the local
scribe of The UNION was not the only man fooled.
Since Josh engaged in the newspaper business he
has learned to handle the truth with prodigal
frugality. And this is strange, too because news
paper men are proverbaly truthful. A-hem
DIR. M. L. Jarrett, of Jarrettsville, while
walking over his farm one day last week, picked
up a land terrapin upon the under shell of which
was engraved the initials of his brother, Dr. James
II. Jarrett, of this place, with the year, 1884,
The terrapin was quite frisky and the letters an
figures, although cut thirty years ago, were plain
ly observable. The DR.. prizes his find very
highly.
Mr.. Jefferson Martenet, son of Mr.. Simon
J. Martenet, the we'll known civil engineer, died
very suddenly, of apoplexy, at his fathers resi-
He had always been a remarkably robust young
man and his sudden death was great shock to
his family and friends. Deceased was a nephew
of Mr.. Joseph Gorsuch, of Baltimore, formerly Of
There was quite large attendance ut the
Spiritualist camp-meeting at Loeb Raven last
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Keyser, highly educa-
ted and eloquent woman, spoke for about two
hours, and from our observation we believe she
could have talked for two days with just as much
ease. But what a curtain lecture that woman
could deliver The meetings will be continued
every Sunday during September.
Some Of the public roads in the 10th dis
trict are in a most miserable condition, notably
the one leading from Mr.. C. Schmidts, on the old
W 81 Tko
people who are obliged to travel this road are
very justly loud in their complaints against the
supervisor who seems to have entirely neglected
this important thoroughfsre. 1t is the duty of
the County Commissioners to look into this matter
and see where the fault lies, for in its present
condition the road is disgrace to the county
Taxpayers certainly have some rights which road
supervisors should be made to respect, and we
are not surprised that farmers who are taxed
heavily for road purposes should grumble when
they receive no benefit in return for their outlay

numbers to attend their entertainments, and there
by making them both pleasant and profitable.
