An Editor Badly Beaten.-Mr. William
| H. Richardson, one of the editors of the Peoples
Voice, of this place, was assaulted by Mr.. A. A.
Piper, of the 18th district in front of his Office in
| Smedley Row, on Monday last, and badly beaten.
Mr.. Piper resides near Germantown, 18th district.
He was former resident of Hartford, and, after
having been admitted to the bar in Belair, came
to Baltimore county and was admitted to the
Towsontown bar, taking up his residence in the
18th district. In last weeks issue of the Voice
letter appeared from correspondent at German
town, which Mr.. Piper regarded as reflection
| upon him personally and professionally. On
Monday he came to Towsontown, and, meeting
| Mr.. Richardson in Smedley Row, asked him if he
| was the author of the Germantown letter, saying
at the time that it did him injustice and that
| he did not like it. Richardson replied that he
was responsible and told Piper that if he did not
| like it he could lump it. Piper then attacked
Richardson with heavy cane, striking him over
the head and shoulders, knocking him down. He
| then sprang upon him and struck him number
of times about the head and face. Several gen.
tlemen then interfered and the combatants were
parted. Richardson, who was badly used up, was
carried into his office, and Dr. Massenburg made
| an examination of his injuries. He found several
| badly confused wounds about the head and face,
after dressing which Richardson was taken to his
| home at Mt. Washington. Immediately after the
| assault Piper left for his home, no attempt hav
| ing been made to arrest him. He is powerful
young man, weighing not less than 200 pounds,
while Richardson is much older and of very slight
| build. But he is game and returned to his office
on Wednesday, looking little the worse for the
encounter and, when questioned about the affair,
said "the end is in the future" The paragraph
in the Germantown letter, which led to the dill
| Guilty, reads as follows:
Cuisines is now very brisk on the Belair road,
at least on some portions of it. For instance, the
would be- but cannot-quite- make-it headquarters
has gotten new hand in its employ. Our mutual
friend from Hartford county, having Thoroughly
digested the statutes criminal law and bastardy
cases, having mastered Littleton, Coke, Wharton,
and studied down to fine points the art OF getting
off between two days. and with single eye gaz
ing benignantly upon the surrounding world, was
upon May 10Th, 1885, admitted to another bar,
where he has displayed the most signal ability,
and there is no doubt if he closely follows it up
he will build up trade that will give handful
of-beer glasses"
Gunpowder Farmers Club-The May
meeting of this Club was held at the beautiful
farm of Col. Walter S. Franklin, formerly the
property of ex-Sherif Samuel W. Worthington
on the Oregon pike, above Cockeysville. There
was a full attendance of members, and as this
was the first meeting at this place, extended
tour of inspection was made. The american
Farmer says: improvements already accom-
plshed, or contemplated, were seen on every side
new buildings, fencing, cleaning, up of head
rows, etc.-and some opportunities given for COM
pairing the application of different manures, COM
mercial and home made. The growing wheat,
unfortunately, presented a less favorable appear
ance than the care and labor in putting it in
would seem to have warranted thanks to the un-
favorable weather. The excellent work done by
double corn planter was favorably commented
on by all observers, as were also spring house
dairy cool, clean and neat, and a granary and
tool shed, well arranged and in admirable order.
Two or three promising brood mares, a young
Percheron colt, some dairy stock, including young
heifers and calves, showing a strong infusion of
Guernsey blood, were noted approvingly, and the
barn-yard, still five feet deep with the manure
from cattle fed in the stalls, was enough to arouse
envy in others less fortunate in that regard.
"The farm having been looked over and adj
mired for its handsome and convenient situation,
and for the evidences of rapid improvement since
it came into Col. Frankin's hands, the company
adjourned to his residence, at Ashland, where the
stables, garden, pigpens, etc., were looked at be-
fore the regular session of the Clubopened. When
this was done number of questions of present
interest were asked, and the views and expert
ences of those present evoked. This meeting was
one of those at which there was no regular ques-
tion for discussion, but certain number read ar
ticles selected from agricultural journals, and
comments were invited as to the positions taken
by the writers on the several topics treated"
