Growing Cs0ps Laid Waste By the Hal
Storm


The crops 10 the parts or Anne
Arundel county visited by the severe
bail-storm Of last week are reported
to be almost entirely demolished.
The storm seems to have confined It
self to narrow track ID portions OF
the First and Second election dis
tricts. but everything 10 its course
was laid waste, It's worst effects
were around Dayidsonville, in the
First district. where magnificent
crops ofcorn and tobacco were en-
tirely ruined.
A gentleman who has seen these
fields says that they look as If q herd
OF elephants had been through them.
Fields of corn Of So and so acres are
cut of even With the ground. Some
Of the farmers reckon their loss
es by thousands of collars. This
Is almost an irreparable blow
to them.as il not only de-
prives them of corn for the coming
year for their families, bat also of
corn and provender for their stock.
In addition, many of them were de-
pendent on these crops to meet their
financial oblig ltions 1t is the sec
ond successive year that they have
had failure in crops, as the dry
weather of last fall cut the wheat
crops down to almost nothing. aud
men who usually made from 1000 to
5000 bushels of wheat harvested
only 500 and 600 bushels.

The new system Of collecting taxes
in this county does not seem to work
smoothly. The law provides tha.
certificates of debt by the county can
be used by holders in payment of
taxes excepting in payments of State
tax, school tax, and specific levies of
the county, which must be paid IN
cash. County Treasurer Bannon is
of opinion that the specific levies
and State and school taxes will only
Justify him in allowing at the pres
emit time one-fourth the face value OF
the certificates of county debt in pay
ment of county taxes. and acts ac-
cordingly. Hence many certificates
Of Indebtedness held by taxpayers
end rendered in payment for their tax
es have been refused by the Treasurer.
and it is likely the issue will be made
before our Courts at its next session.

ious to have the law tested.

A good deal of ingenuity is displayed
by opium smugglers in the cent-ai prov
inces in running their contraband goods.
In one case which came before the
authorities last year, two and half
maunds of foreign opium were discov-
cred slowed away in the saddles of two
camels, and in another case five and a
half maunds of the same material were
found packed in vessels supposed TO be
full of oil, On examination q. these
Vessels 1t was discovered that a tube
running down the center of each was
filed with oil, the remaining portions
of the vessel being packed with opium.
In both these cases the opium had been
brought from Holkar's territory, and the
smugglers were caught at Nimar while
attempting to run it into the bombay
presidency. Despite the successful de-
lection of the offenders in these in
stances, it is daily becoming matter
of greater difficulty to detect opium
smuggling. The well-to-do importers
of contraband opium rarely attempts to
run the drug in person. They generally
employ poor agents, such as grass aud
wood cutters, who are not often sus-
pected. and to whom q period Of i'm
prisonment does not much matter, their
employer in the meantime helping their
families - Tines Of India.

ton.
Eyes, but starving. For Gods sake
give me something to eat.
I'VE took the man on board the Bear
at once. Commander Schley and Or.
Ames landed as soon as possible with
medical supplies. The party was found
In dilapfdaied tent, lying in their
sleeping bags, unable to stand upon
their feet, which were useless.
They were so weak and emaciated that
they were literally nothing but human
skeletons wrapped in skin. Greedy was
reading from a. prayer-book to private
Cornell. who was supposed to be dying.
AS soon as he knew that it was an
American expedition that had rescued
him Greedy said: j am glad to see you. !
DIR. Ames took charge of the party and
allowed nothing TO be given them but q
small teaspoonful Of brandy piuch at
intervals and at last small quantities of
food The living and the dead were re-
moved aboard the vessels as soon as pos
sible. All but six bodies were recovered.
They were wrapped in sheeting and
covered with alcohol in tanks. We
stayed at Cape Sabine only eleven hours
and returned through Melville Bay as
fast as the ice would allow.
Zone of our Esquimaux went crazy
here, and, jumping on the ice, ran off as
fast as his legs could carry him. Two
sailors were detailed to follow and bring
him back. Such running you never saw.
When they captured him he turned up
his toes like turtle, expecting to be
carried. But the tars didn't look at it
that way. They punched him with their
boarding pixies until he was glad to trot
back to the ship. We arrived at st.
Johns, Newfoundland, July IL. where
the irons collins were received and the
bodies placed in them"
