Validity of Slave Marriages.

A peculiar case has been decided in the Com
mon Pleas Court at Toledo, o., involving thu
validitXofslave marriages. A colored man named
Anderson was married at Toledo in 1883, and was
thereupon arrested for bigamy, it being charged
that he was married while a slave to slave wo
man in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1861. The
case hinged on the validity Of the slave marriage
The Judge instructed the jury that slaves, being
property, could not make legal contract, bu
that the courts had decided that slave marriage
became valid by oohsbitation as man and wife
after the emancipation proclamation in 1884,
The case thus turned on the question of fact
whether the pair had so cohabited or not as shown
by the evidence. The jury rendered verdict
of not guilty.

CITY EXTENSION-THE BILL REPORT
ED FAvORABLY.

This week there was another turn in matters
connected with the extension scheme, this time in
favor of the city. When the committee having
the bill in charge met on Wednesday, sub-com-
mittee consisting of three from the city and three
from the county (Messrs. Brady, Offutt and Lind
say) was appointed to draw up bill that would
be acceptable. This committee agree upon the
bill as already published in these columns, with
the following changes:
The lines are made the same as in the bill Of
1874. which differ from the original lines of the
present bill on the west side only, where the line
extends north through the 18th district clear to
the middle of the river. The Belt votes as
whole, and not by sections, and the election day

nav the county sSl93, 500 for station houses and
engine-h houses. Instead of the Baltimore police
having charge of the election, the Sherin OF the
county and the Sheriff of the city are to Jointly
appoint deputies from among residents Oh Ine Del'
The present State officers appointed by the GOV
ernor are to continue in Office till the end OF their
terms. and the annexed portion is to forego It's
claim to the State school tax in favor OF the re-
manning part of the county. The taxes ior 1904
on property in the Belt go to the county. Inc
city members wanted the amount paid for I'M
movements to be $4,000 and the county mem
hers wanted Il 500. 900. The amount agreed on
was a compromise. The clause about assessments
and taxation in the Belt was left unchanged
making the rate of taxation one-half that In the
city for ten years, providing that no assessment IN
that time shall be increased more than nve per
cent. a wear. The Appeal Tax Court is increased
one member to be resident of the annexed Sec
ton.
The members from Baltimore county think they
have accomplished good thing for the county,
and they no doubt have, should the bill go through
in its present shape. Of course they will now
fight it when it comes before the House, but the
impression prevails that the bill will go through
The bill was reported favOrably on Wednesday
night and was ordered to be printed.

@-Mr. Cockey, member of the Legislature
from Baltimore county, has bill before that body
to improve our present road system. The present
law is very poor and he says that "the super
money levied for road purposes should be expend-
ed on the roads instead of going into the pockets
of few political retainers. We know there are
some No. road supervisors in the county, but
large number of them VIGOROUSLY unfit for the
places they occupy and care more for filling their
own pockets than they do for giving the people
better roads. Mr.. Jockeys plan is practical
one and in the end will result in great good, be-
cause thereby we will have roads constructed that
will be permanent in their character instead OF the
old-fashioned mortar beds with which we are at
present afflicted. An article from the Sun, pub
Ished in our local columns to-day, will give some
idea of the proposed new plan.

m-Hon. F. c. Latrobe, Mayor of Baltimore,
has gotten himself in very hot water. The trou-
BILE grew out of his appointment of Mr.. Edward
Higgins to the position of Collector, the place
having been secured for him through the efforts
of Mr.. Robert Garrett, of the B. o. Railroad.
During the late canvass it was charged that Mr.
Latrobe, if elected, would be entirely under the
control of the B. & o. Company, charge which
was Indignantly denied by himself and friends.
Now, however, it appears that there was truth In
the charge, judging from recent developments
Gen. Brown published long letter in Wednes-
days paper, exposing the whole matter, and plac-
ing the Mayor in most awkward position from
which he will have great trouble to extricate
himself. On Thursday Mr.. Latrobe gave his side
of the case in the papers, and fatty denies the
charges of Messrs. Brown and Keyser. 1t is a
very pretty Democratic fight and the Republicans
can afford to calmly await the result of it.

The Democratic mind seems to be consid-

attitude during the impending canvass Some
believe free trade plank would be fatal,
and advocate leaning towards protection. In the
House they indicate free trade leanings. If they

to advocate the one thing and legislate in

s-Mayor LatrObe, of Baltimore, according
to Gen. George S. Brown, spent $4,000 to Sc
cure his last election and Mr.. Robert Garrett, of
the B. & o. Railroad, spent the same amount in
his interest. Thus $4,000 were expended by
these two gentlemen to secure a two-year Office
with salary of $4,000 per year! A great many
people would like to know why Mr.. Garrett should
expend $4,000 to carry a mayoraity election in

Gg>The following circular letter has been
issued by the Freight Department of eP. W. &
B. Railroad Company to their Maryland agents:
"During the past two seasons the inspection or
grading of corn has been very unsatisfactory to
farmers, and it has occurred to us to recommend
to them to make change from white to yellow
corn; and also that they get their seed corn from
point west of the Mississippi river, and not plant
any corn the coming season that has been grown
in this part of the country, and thus avoid what
might be poor seed corn. In this connection we
also recommend that Longberry wheat be grown
instead of Fuitz wheat, as there seems to be an
increasing demand for Delaware and Maryland
