Pete Lynch, who for long time kept
saloon on Holiday street, adjoining the York
road car office, and who was known to many Bal
timore county people, seriously stabbed woman
in Washington on Saturday night last. He was
drunk and did not know the person with whom
he had the difficulty.
The Belair Democrat says "under the re-
cent decision of City Solicitor Carter Baltimore
county can no longer go to the city for its fire
water" There's we're your of, neighbor. We
don't need to do it. Unlike you of Belair, we've
got it right here, and we don't hear OF any indict-
ments for selling it, either.
The Pennsylvania Conference of the U. B.
church, which was held at Lebanon, Pa, adjourned
on Tuesday. The following appointments were
made for charges in Baltimore county, or in which
churches in this county are included: Woodberry
Mission, G. W. Stinespring; Manchester, z.
Mower; Dover, S. R. Cripple.
Levi +. Boulder, of Elkton, who sixteen
years ago was character in Towsontown, is still
living and is about to remove to Atlantic City to
engage in the manufacture of mattresses. Boul-
den came here with James Wells, who for time
conducted the Smedey House, and will doubtless
be remembered by some of our citizens.
"A man who was indicted in Belair for sell
ling whisky said, in his own defense, that he had
not sold the whisky but had only cleaned" it.
For tricks that are vain commend us to those Bel
air fellows. The idea of "loaning" whisky! The
average Towsontown man could have a picnic
in Beair if that plan prevailed there to any ex-
tent.
-Towsontown was well represented at the
Inauguration on Wednesday. Our military COM
pany was there and occupied prominent posi-
ton, and many of our citizens were there and
some of them didn't get as prominent positions
as they expected. This is but natural when
crowds of two or three hundred thousand
encountered.
Rev. L. T. Waterman, pastor of Monument
Street NJ. E. church, and who is widely known in
Baltimore county, was recently presented with
handsome French marble clock and a lether-cov-
cred study chair, while his wife received beau
tiful set of French china. The presents came from
the Sunday school, of his classes and the
Mite Society.
The funeral of Mrs. William Gibson, who
died very suddenly at her home, near Norrisville,
Hartford county, on Thursday OF last week, took
place on Sunday, her remains being inferred at
Stewartstown. The deceased had very extern
sive circle of friends and the funeral was largely
after ded. Deceased was the mother-in-law Of
DR.. A. c. McCurdy, of this place.
Some of the articles found in Philip Biz
yards house, in Carroll county, have been identi-
fed by Mrs Joanna WaysOn, of Annapolis, as her
property. The trunk which contained these arti-
Giles, consisting of lady's wearing apparel, was
stolen from Patapsco Station, W. M. r. R., about
eleven years ago and nothing had been heard of
it until now. If the theft can be fastened on
Blizzard, as now seems probable, he will go to the
penitentiary.
The farmers busy season is rapidly ap-
preaching and by the middle of the month, if the
grounding relaxes his grip, much blowing will
have been done. With the agrculturist much de-
ponds upon the weather in March, II favorable
for outside work they enabled to get ahead,
but if cold and inclement the whole spring bust
ness gets n set back. This is the most tickle
month of the year and it is well to be prepared

Mr.. J. C: p. Murphy, of averly, who
takes an active interest in the Catholic Benevo-
lent Legion, church beneficial and insurance
association. was in Towsontown last Sunday, look
ing over the field with a view to starting Coun-
Gil here. The late DIR. Melville Taylor, of Govans
town, was a member Of this order and was insured
for $4,000, which sum was promptly paid to his
BENEFICIARY at his death. 1t is safe and cheap
mode of insurance, and the order is growing
rapidly.
The ice jam in Loeb Raven on Sunday last
was worth seeing. Below the ice was solidly fro
zen, but about two and a-half miles above the
breast of the dam the ice that the high water had
brought down was gorged in the narrow places
and the rough surface presented the appearance
of plowed field more than placid lake. The
accumulation of rubbish in these gorges some
thing wonderful and it would be hard to tell where
it all came from. The gradual thaw doubtless
prevented a big freshet.
The Maryland Central road did good
share of Inauguration business, and those York
and Hartford fellows did look just too sweet for
anything in their store clothes. Going down they
were all right. We did not see them on their
turn. And for this are we thankful. You can
always tell Hartford man, however, after he has
been to an Inauguration. He has a sort of well,
I.don't-care if-I-do look-rather easy-going, you
know as if he owned the whole railroad and the
thing was just being run for his personal amuse
ment. Hartford man, when he lets himself
loose, can knock out Buffalo Bills "Wild West"
