EXAMINED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Edward
Renly, negro, was brought before Justice John
Daugherty, of Dublin, one day last week, charg-
ed with threatening to violate the peace toward
some of his associates of the same color The
Justice took security for his good behavior and
he was released. Subsequently some of the
same parties appeared again before Justice
Daugherty and obtained another warrant for the
arrest of Kenly, on the serious charge of having
by i'll usage and violence caused the death of
his own wife, who had about the same time
died, after giving birth prematarely to a child.
Kenly was again arrested and on Monday the
case was Investigated by Justice Daugherty on
the latter charge. The evidence was very con-
dieting, the main points being that some of the
witnesses testified that the woman had been
heard 10 utter cries of distress before her ILL
ness, and also that she declared on her deathbed
that Kenly had ill-used her and caused her sick.
ness. The latter declarations were denied by
some who protested to have been present, and as
there was no direct testimony of i'll usage or
blows, the Justice dismissed the case There is
little doubt in the neighborhood that the par
ties led a quarrelsome life. Kenly has hereto
fore been before the court and has served term
in the House of Correction for riotous conduct.
He is regarded as bad negro. DIR. Silas Scar
borough attended the woman in her sickness.

FALLSTON FARMERS CLUB.
Does Farming Pay ?-HOw 10 Mend
Roads.

Roads.
The Fallston Farmers Club met at the resi-
dence of Garrett Amoss, April Sd.
A general inspection of MIR. Amoss' farm and
premises was made by the club, and satstac
tory report thereon was handed in by the com
mittee, Messrs. VIM. NJ Edelin,, ID. p Hol.
lingsworth and II. &. Preston.
Mr.. Garrett Amoss furnished the leading ques
ton: "Does Farming PayY"
ID. T. Hollingsworth thought farming paid
small per centage on the investment, and moi
much is made unless the work is done by ones
own hands.
VIM. NJ Edelin, said that while there is moi
much spare money in farming, but comparing
the Injuries of life a farmer has with those OBJ
tanned from other pursuits, he thought farming
paid. In farming proper the secret is in get.
ting good set of grass. To lose Il set of grass
Is to lose $50 per acre.
Garrett Amoss thought we did not lime
enough, and that too much importance is at
tached to commercial fertilizers
d. p. Hollingsworth said he had tried lime
and found it did him no good.
W. 5. Preston also said lime had done very
little good on his soil
Mr. Edelin, thought the action of lime only
chemical and that it did not enrich the soil He
also thought that commercial fertilizers did not
receive the credit due them.
Jos. q. Favour thought there was money in
farming when done economically and without
much hired help.
W. l.. Amoss said farmers generally had no
conception of the waste about farm and much
was to be gained by proper economy of all
kinds of fertilizing material
G. j. Moore desired to know the best method
OF mcnding dilt road, where stone is not avail
able.
Mr. Edelin, said the only way was to clear out
the bitches and throw the dirt up to the centre
Jos. lioskins thought it best not to throw too
much dirt to the centre and to mend the road in
the Spring, attending to proper drainage.
Garrett Amoss and j. w. Moore expressed the
same views.
ID. l.. liollingsworth said the only way to have
good road is to found it up in the middle.

1t is stated that Gov. McLane will not
sign the bill requiring railroad companies to
station fiagmen at railroad crossings in Har-
ford county. The grounds for his refusal
are not known. A similar bill passed the
Legislature of 1889, but was stolen before it
reached the Governor. The passage of the
bill now before Governor McLane was urged
by the Hartford delegation in compliance with
the unanimous wishes of their constituents,
and it is a measure absolutely needed now,
and likely to be more necessary inthe future,
for the protection of travellers at certain rail-
road crossings in this county. The bill is
fair and just towards railroad companies, and
is similar to law already in operation in
Baltimore county, The people have some
rights which railroad companies should be
made to respect.
Gov. McLane has also refused his approval
to the bill incorporating the Havre de
Grace Passenger Railway Company.

OUR PYLESyILLE LETTER
Woods On Fire-A Popular Conductor
Prompt SMperXiSOr.

Last Friday as a heavy freight train was run
ming on the switch here the brakes failed to
check the speed and the train came in contact
with the cars that were standing on the siding,
with such force as to telescope two OF them in
jurng them slightly and throwing another off
the trucks
The same day The freight train going south
set fire TO the pine woods at the south end of
the trestle, and the fire burned over 25 acres
destroying great deal of timber and fence
rails. The wind was blowing a gale and the
sight of the fire running up the tall pines, burn
ing the leaves and blazing and swiring for 20
or 80 feet above the trees, was fearfully grand
The people of the neighborhood for several
miles around gathered and fought the fire vigor-
ously, at last succeeding in getting it under
control.
The next day the same train fired the woods
on the north side of Broad Creek near here, and
six or eight acres of wood land were burned
over.
Mr.. G. e. Knsey had a carload of South Car
olina rock delivered at this station Saturday.
Messrs Hopkins u Harry, two industrious
young men and good mechanics are putting up

accommodating conductor on the morning

Their DestinatiOn-Death Of Am Est
HnnhIa Ynnnp MAN

1t is probable that only small crops of corn
and tomatoes for canning will be raised this
year by our farmers, as compared with last
year They think the old-time method of rails
ing regular farm crops safer and as profitable.
Three boys from this neighborhood, the old
est only thirteen concluded TO steal ride on the
railroad from Slate Ridge station to Pylesville.
They boarded the train unperceiyed, but to
their dsmay the train did not stop until it
reached Falston, distance of 20 miles. They
walked back, following the railroad track,
reaching home at . o'clock the next morning,
almost spent with fatigue.
MIR. Isaac Scarborough, who has been confined
TO tie house all winter from sickness, is now

by handsome majority. A good many think
this would be the case If he could be induced
to run for Sheriff the next round.
Oscar McFadden, promising and most est-
mable young man, son of Robert and Sarah Nc

was in the 23d year of his age. His illness,
which was of short duration, was borne with
great patience. Fills afflicted parents have the
sympathy of many friends in their sad bereave-
ment. ID.

The men of Hartford have seldom been accused
of a want of courtesy to ladies' and we therefore
hope that those of whom our fair correspond
emit complains, are not to the manor born. At
any rate, for the credit of the neighborhood
public sentiment should compel decent regard
for the rights Of pedestrians, and particularly of
ladies, on the part of those who ride abroad for
