last winter authorized to be built is to be called
Baltimore" as a compliment to Congressman
Talbot who, as member of the Naval Commit

preparation for the new vessels.
| Geo. B. Jean, of the I'd district of this
county, who has held position in the Baltimore
| postofice for some time, has been notified by the

quired after July LIST. Mr.. Eugene Darlington,

| "A gentleman was making an evening call
and the revised edition being discussed. "In
the new Bible that pa brought home" said Bobby,
joining in the conversation, "sister is four years
| younger than she was in the old one. Is that
what is meant by the revised edition?"
The trifing difference between Messrs.
| Henry Reckord & Sons and the Town Commits
sioners of Belar, with reference to location of the
large scales of the firm, has been satisfactorily
adjusted, the scales having been removed from
the front to the rear of their business place.
MIR. John Rosensteel, of Govanstown, was
in Washington few days ago, looking after the
postmastership of his town. We have a vivid re-
collection of the lively times which this Office has
already caused and this movement on the part of
Mr.. R. will doubtless again open up the fight.
Jacob NJ. Pearce, Esq, of the 10th district,
who recently made trip to Auburn, N. Y, ac-
companied by his wife, to visit their son, Mr..
Edwin L. Pearce, who is engaged in business
there, have returned home. They had a delight
full visit and were muck pleased with what they
saw.
-Childrens Day will be celebrated at Jes-
sop's NJ. E. Church. above Cockeysville, next
Sunday, when all day services will be held. An
interesting and beautiful feature of the day will
be the decoration of the graves with flowers. Mr..
Chas. Ham, of Baltimore, will be among the
speakers.
The Westminster Advocate says "Mr. Jacob
Pfeifer the successful horse-trainer, formerly of
this city, is constructing training track at Ar
lington, Baltimore county, and has it nearly COM
pleted. Some horses have been sent thither from
this county. 1t will be largely patronized by
Baltmoreans."
a second child of Mr.. George II. Wesley,
of Lime Kiln Bottom, died on Monday last, of a
disease which the physicians called Inflammation
of the brain. Before being taken both had been
apparently healthy children. Mr.. Wesley's oldest
child girl aged about ten years, is very sick
at this time.
Phillip Blizzard, convicted last week in the
Carroll county Circuit Court for the larceny of a
trunk from station on the Western Maryland
railroad, has been sentenced to the penitentiary
for six years. Blizzard is the man who was
thought to have been implicated in the Russell
murder, at Reisterstown.
A party of young folks rendered Pinafore
in the Waverly high school building, on Friday
evening of last week, to very large and appre-
ciatve audience. The music is said to have been
very fine, rejecting much credit upon all who
took part. The proceeds were devoted to ben
eficial order of that place.
The Hartford county agricultural society is
exhibiting a much more liberal spirit with refer
ence to its purses for the races at next falls exh-
bition, the premiums offered aggregating $4,000.
The highest purse is $500 and the lowest 800,
and horse to capture any of the money must do
better than three minutes.
Mayor Latrobe last week appointed Mr..
Henry McShane, of Mt. Washington, director
in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company on the
part of Baltimore city. We should feel under OBJ
legations to the Mayor if he could do something
for Towsontown, but our citizens don't banker
much after unsalaried offices.
Master VIM. Horne, son of Mr.. George
Horne, of this place, who was appointed a cadet
at the West Point Military Academy by Hon. J.
Fred. c. Talbot, will leave for that post next
Tuesday, his first examination taking place the
day following. He will be accompanied by his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Chas. A. Roe.
The Cecil county Ne,cs puts the whole truth
in a small nut shell, as follows: off the preach
ers and some church members were as thoughtful
in sending news items they are notices of straw
berry and other festivals (Which are properly ad-
vertisements) to the papers, the editors would
take more comfort in their communications"
Three residents of Towsontown, desiring
to test the truthfulness of what Prof Riley, the
Government entomoogist, says about locusts as
food, on Wednesday night, in a restaurant in this
town, ate nearly three pints of the liUe ccada.-
This is a solemn truth and can be easily verified.
The locusts were eaten with apparent relish, and
no bad effects followed.
The passenger coaches of the Maryland
Central road present greatly improved appear
ance since being newly painted. All the coaches
are to be treated to fresh coats. A little closer
attention to the interior of the cars would meet
the approval of the patrons of the road. Close
observers never fail to notice when the windows
&C., show the need of water.
"A couple of medicine men" came to Tow
sontown on Saturday night last with large satch-
ell filled with some kind of pain annihilator. They
furnished some good music and their stuff went
off like hot cakes. So attractive, in fact, did
these fellows prove that they we're able to knock
all other kinds of business cold, and complaints
around town were general on this account.
"A man named "Link" Wilhelm, living in
the 9Th district of this county, got over into
Hampstead, Carroll county, a few days ago and,
after getting his tank full attempted to paint the
town crimson hue. A constable soon took him
in and a magistrate committed him to the West
minister Jail. Those Carroll county people are
altogether too practical in their hospitality.
DIR. A. C. McCurdy has associated with
him DR.. Charles F. Dinger, demonstration in the
dental department, Maryland University, and they
have made the necessary arrangements to admin
may be extracted without pain. DR.. Dinger will
visit Towsontown every Wednesday, when the
services of the two may be awaited of in the use of
the gas.
The Maryland branch of the National Tenn
perance League was organized in Baltimore on
Tuesday. Rev. d. II. Carroll was elected vice.
president for Baltimore county, and Rev. A. j.
Gill, pastor of the NJ. E. church at Woodbury.,
was elected corresponding secretary. This League
is non-political and non-sectarian and is in op-
position to Mr.. Daniels political temperance or
ganization.
An exchange very justly remarks that if
railroad companies oblige smokers of tobacco to
occupy separate car, they should also compel
those who chew tobacco to occupy the same car
while INDUCING in the habit. 1t is filthy, dis
gushing one, and to compel ladies to drag their
clothing through the tobacco juice is an outrage
upon decency. The tobacco chewers should 90
with the smokers.
SO far Baltimore county has done pretty
well in the Baltimore postofice. Mr.. Frank c..
Nicodemus, of the 9th district, is the cashier
Mr.. Bradley T. Stokes, son of the Rev. Geo. c.
Stokes, rector of the Church of the Redeemer
Charles street avenue, is clerk in the money
order department, and Mr.. Eugene Darlington, of
the LIST district, has been appointed chief of the
registered letter department. All are frst-class
appointments.
"A reporter interviewed Howard Cooper in
the city jail on tuesday. The scamp says he
does not approve of lynching, but has rather a
liking for hanging by due course of law. If
Cooper had entertained such high respect for
the law about two months ago he would not be
where he is to-day. Having very recently be-
come law-abiding citizen he certainly cannot
object to playing prominent part in tragedy
which we hope to see enacted at very early
date.
Death ofa Worthy Colored Man.-George
Tyler, worthy and industrious colored man, died
at his home in this town, on Thursday last. About
three years ago, while engaged in carrying hod
at the Sheppard Asylum, he gave his right knee
q slight wrench. Little attention was paid to the
injury at the time, but it gradually grew worse
and fnally-about year and half ago-ampu-
tation had to be resorted to- The leg never healed
and finally caused his death. Tyler was about
80 years old and was a member of the colored
Odd Fellows lodge of Towsontown. He leaves a
wife and several children.
