CITY AND COUNTY.
Statement Of Dir. LinthiCum!
County Commissioners VS.. N, BanRon!
n A V Al NOTE S !!
LOCAL JOTTINGS.
'Ounty Commissioners VS., N, BanRon!
The County Commissioners and Mr..
BannOn.

Expectation was on tip toe TODAY
to know what the board of commits
sioners would do when they met, in
relation to the controversy over the
alleged $500 check to Mr.. Bannon.-
The first commissioner TO put in an
appearance at the board, was DR.. A .
5. Linthicum. Mr.. Robinson, the
clerk, was already in his place. In
stead of denials, fsticuffs and pistols,
as one might expect from the tenor
of conversations, both, though OBJ
viously, studiously Indifferent to
each others presence, proceeded to
discuss the probility Of Mr.. Jos. /.
Clark bonding as supervisor, when
by mistake the notice of election fell
into the hands of Mr.. Jos. M. Clark
Not long after DR.. G.. r. Winterson,
the presidnet of the board, arrived He
said that the board would probably
take some Official action in re- gard to
the matter; that they did not propose
TO let DR.. Linthicum run the board;
Nhe matter was this: Mr.. Bannon and
Mr.. +. Ii. Stockett, the latter counsel
to the board were authorized to look
after the bills to take the Severn
River Bridge building out of the
hands OF the commissioners; the bill
to create the Office of road examiner
at salary of $4,000; and the Anne
Arundel Treasurer's bill-to all of
which the majority of the board were
opposed. Mr.. Stockett, in considera-
tion of the payment of his bill, for
services in the litigation before the
Court, which the board thought high,
agreed to make no other charge for
services before legislative committees.
Mr.. Bannon asked for $500 for his
services. The board first voted it;
then on motion of Dr. Linthicum re-
duced it to $3.50. He did not know
why Mr.. Bannon did not take the
money; but had heard Mr.. Robinson
say he presumed it was because Mr..
Bannon thought he would yet be
paid the $500, and would not take the
$3.50.
As stated heretofore we propose in
day or two to pay our respects to
this matter. Ed.

Mr.. HoIton VS.. AnnapoII. IIarbor.


Editor Of tie Eceaing Capjtal
Your correspondent TX. G. j. y.
says, in explanation of Mr.. Holton,s'
failure to procure an appropriation
in the River and Harbor Bill for An
napolis, "that the committee refused
all appropriations for small rivers in.
the United States" Why did he not
follow the bill into the Senate Com
mittee? As reported by that COM
mittee it has the following items
Briton Bay, Md, $4,000; Choptank
River, Nd, $4,000; Corsica Greek,
Md, $4,000; Wicomico River, Nd,
$4,000; st. Jerome's Creek, Md,
$4,000. Also provision for surveys
for improvements of Tuckahoe Greek
and of Skipton Greek, Md. Could
not the committee have been induced
to allow to Annapolis the use for her
harbor channel of the unexpended
part of the appropriation already
made? s.
The above is from one of our most
worthy citizens, who is not only
producer, in the true sense of the
word, but is also taxpayer and wide-
awake gentleman. His few remarks
would seem to he complete answer
to the assertions made by our former
correspondent TX G. j. !" in reference
to the alleged efforts on the part of
Mr.. Holton in behalf of the Annapolis
Harbor. We notice that Representa-
tive Cogington, of this State, by per-
sisten6 efforts, secured an appropria-
tion of S., 900, for his Corsica Creek
on the Eastern Shore. Ed.

A New Method Of Watermelon Culture,

A gentleman residing near this plac.
raised most tremendous crop of water
melons after the following method:
Holes were dug ten feet apart each way
eighteen inches square and fifteen
inches deep. These holes were filed
with well-rotted manure, which was
thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
A low, flat hill was then made, and seed
planted. When the vines were larSs
enough to begin to run the whole sur
face was covered to the depth of foot
or fifteen inches with wheat straw. The
straw was placed close UP around the
vine. No cultivation whatever was
given afterward. No weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the straw.
and the melon matured clean and nice.
The yield was abundant; and the experi.
ment an entire success Try it next
year. -Rssrai .N.g Yorker.
