| UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO LYNCH PRlS-
oNER.-Several times since the arrest of Henry
Davis, the negro who criminally assaulted Miss
Elizabeth WEIGH, near the Black Horse, on the
26th of April information has come to Sheriff
Carman that the justly -incensed neighbours of
the young lady intended to take Davis out of
Jail and hang him. Tie Sheriff has accordingly
been on the alert, being determined to keep his
prisoner for trial at all hazards.
The attempt was made, between twelve and
one o'clock, Monday night, and failed. Sheriff
Carman was aroused from sleep and going to
the window saw % or so men. He asked them
what they wanted when the spokesman told
him to come down, they wanted to see him. Mr..
Carman, suspecting their object, declined
awe want the negro, Davis, said the man be-
low. "We are going to have him and intend to
hang him."
81 reckon not" replied Sheriff Carman II
am responsible for his safe keeping and we are
prepared to keep him."
Deputy Sheriff Whiteford, who is from the
fourth district, in which the assault occurred,
then appeared and urged the crowd to desst.-
81 do not know who you are," said he, "but
you know me, and if any attempt is made to
break into the Jail some one will get hurt"
| The men below asked Mr.. Whiteford to come
down to the door, but he also prudently declined
More parleying ensued, Sheriff Carman advis-
ing the men to disperse and get home before day
| light The leader urged the men forward and
some Of them appeared disposed to obey but the
rest held back. Several times movements were
made towards the door of the Jail, but each
time the stern warnings of the Sheriff and his
deputy caused the crowd to halt.
| The leader, finding that his men would not
follow him, berated them as towards, for be-
ginning a job which they would not finish, and
shortly afterwards they left.
| The men had with them rope, and some of
them, Mr.. Carman thought, were masked They
left behind them heavy crow bar, intended no
doubt, to be used in breaking open the doors Of
| the Jail. Some Of the would-be lynchers, it is
| believed, were from Baltimore county

Hartford FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. The
members of the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany held another meeting in the Court
House, on Monday afternoon, after the adjourn
ment of court. Mr.. j. Frank Reasin was in the
chair and f. w. Baker Secretary.
Mr.. Henry ID. Farnandis, attorney for the
company, presented the amended and the new
bylaws, provided for in the report of a commit
tee made and adopted at previous meeting.
Mr.. Farnandis explained the changes that
have been made from time to time in the by
laws and said that want of harmony now exists
in them. The directors have also, unconscious
ly, gone beyond their powers. He thought
there ought to be revision and compilation of
the bylaws. The new bylaws prepared and Of
fered by MIR. Farnands are as follows:
That meeting of the Board of Directors shall
| be held in each year on the working or juridcal
day next before the expiration of the sixty days
| which meeting, each Director and agent shall
| return to the Secretary of the Company state
ment of all money received by him for the Com
pany since his last previous report, specifying the
persons paying and the amount received from
each anu Within the three days next succeeding
the expiration of such grace the Secretary shall
deliver or mail to each delinquent member no
tice of the suspension of his policy and the
amount necessary to re-inState it.
The Board of Directors is authorized to en-
ploy such agent or agents as it may deem neces-
| sary to increase, facilitate and make more
agent in making insurance, taking risks and re-
| ceiving premiums and expenses, to have all the
powers of a director having first given bond
with surety approved by the Board of Directors
| for the faithful discharge of his duty in such
form and penalty as may be prescribed by the
| Board of Directors, who shall fix the rate of
commissions or compensation to be allowed such
agent and determine his agency at pleasure.
The Board Of Directors shall make to the
| members of this Company at each annual meet
ing called for the election of Directors full re-
port of the business and financial condition of
the Company, which report shall be referred for
examination to a committee of three members
| to be appointed at such meeting. That such
| committee shall have authority, if they deem it
| necessary, to employ an insurance expert ac-
| eountant, who, with such committee shall have
access to the books and papers of the Company
for the purpose of full investigation
That risks may be taken and policies of insur-
ance issued by this company for longer period
than one year, but not exceeding five years. for
| a sum in gross lin lieu of the annual INTEREST,"
| payable in advance for the whole period for
| which insurance is made. The form, condition
and provisions of such policies and premium
notes and the rate and amount of premiums to
| be fixed by the Board Of Directors
Mr.. Farnandis said that while it was his
opinion that the meeting of Monday was legal
ly competent to act upon the new. bylaws, he
would suggest that in order to avoid all doubt
final action upon them be deferred until future
meeting to be called in accordance with the re.
quirements of the charter.
On motion of Mr.. s. A. Williams the report
Of Mr.. Farnandis was accepted and the Secreta-
tary instructed to give proper notice mmedi-
ately of general meeting of members, to be
held in Bel Air on Tuesday, June Sth, at eleven
o'clock, A. NJ, to take into consideration the
changes suggested by this report and such other
subjects as may be brought up for consideration.
The meeting then adjourned.
