Death of an AIRED and Wealthy Farmer

Death of an Aged and Wealthy Farmer.
Capt. Thos. Love, whose illness was announced
in these columns last week, died at his residence,
"Loveton," on the York turnpike, about three
miles above Cockeysville, ON Monday morning
last in the 50 year of his age. He was son of
the late DIR. Thomas Love, and was born at Mont
ford" an adjoining farm to "Loveton," and lived
on the latter nearly the whole of his life. Capt.
Love was educated in law, but, after graduating,
abandoned the profession for the occupation of
farming, which he conducted very successfully to
the time of his death. His estate contains be-
tween five and six hundred acres and is one of
the finest in the county. He was an intelligent,
genial gentleman, a kind neighbor and was widely
known for his open handed hospitality. In early
life Capt Love married sister of the late George
Presbury, of Baltimore, by whom he had several
children, only one of whom, Mr.. Albert 7. Love,
of Cockeysville, is living daughter, who was
the wife of Mr.. VIM. L. Montague of Baltimore,
died some years ago. He was brother of the
late K. Horace Love, who resided near Reisters-
town at the time of his death. His sister Martha
c.. who is the widow of the late Edward Webster,
survives him and made her home with him up to
the time of his death. Capt. Love was connected
with the Worthington family, of Baltimore county,
and the Dorseys, of Howard. In late years he
lived very retired life, rarely going from home,
but was able to give some attention to his farm
ing operations, in which he took great pride.

Charges Against the Fire Marshal.-A
| few weeks ago John T. Dillehunt, chief of the
| Waverly fire company, rendered his resignation
to the County Commissioners, alleging that the
conduct of Fire Marshal George II. Carman had
been detrimental to the best interests of the county
department, and that he could not longer serve
under him. The Board did not accept the resig-
nation and on Tuesday of this week Mr.. Ollie
hunt again appeared and made formal charges OF
| intoxication and ineficiency against Mr.. Carman.
| He says he makes these charges because of the
interest he feels in the department, with which he
| has been connected since its organization, and
| that circumstances have occurred since he handed
| his resignation to the Board that induced him to
| adopt this course. To sustain his charges Mr..
| Dillehunt says he will produce all the captains
| of the department, besides other witnesses. The
Board took no action in the premises this week,
but an investigation will most likely follow.
This Concerns Everybody.-We think we
can safely say that spring is now here and this
being the fact it is time that yards and gardens
| should be promptly cleaned up, sinks and drains
looked after, and the premises generally put into
| a good sanitary condition. Lime cannot be too
freely used and should be scattered about drains,
cutters and confined places. DR.. James A. Steu-
art, Commissioner of Health, said few days ago
that in every where death was reported to
| his office from cerebro- spinal meningitis, he had
made it custom to send one of the officers of the
department to make an inspection of the premises
where the death occurred. In nearly every case,
he said, such premises had been found in a filthy
condition. This was proof enough, the Doctor
thought, that the great majority of cases of this
dreaded disease came from the insanitary condi-
| ton of houses and yards.
Suit on a Contract.-The Baltimore Court
of Common Pleas Monday took up the case Of
George Horne, of Towsontown, and Jas. G. Harri'
son, of Govanstown, against Mr.. Chas. X. Harri
son. removed from the Circuit Court of this county
