Very Serious Accident.-The Belair Egis
of last week reports the following: CON Wednes-
day as Mr.. Henry Reckord, of Reckord's mill, was
bringing his daughter and little son of Mr..
Smiths, home from school at Fork, in passing Mr..
VIM H. fuckers five-horse wagon, near Weiker's
toll gate, the sleigh upon pile of earth which
had been thrown out of ditch, and was upset
The occupants of the sleigh were thrown in front
of the lead horses. The children scrambled out
without receiving any injury, but as Mr.. Reckord
was raising he was struck in the head by one of
the tongue horses and knocked down. After be-
ing rolled over and over several times by the
wagon the wheels passed over his body, at the
hips. The accident occurred near his home,
whittier he was taken. His physician, DR.. Altva-
ter, found that no bones broken and no bruises
were seen. 1t is feared, however, that Mr. Reck-
ord was injured internally. He suffered intensely.
Opiates were administered, relieving him tempo
rary, but as the effects away the pain returns.
The utmost solicitude is felt in regard to him."

Highlandtown.-The following description
of Highlandtown, which is located in the 18th
district of Baltimore county, appeared in the last
issue of the Hampstead Enterprise: "Highland-
town is located on the Eastern avenue, about
miles from Baltimore, that is to say the milestone,
but it is only miles from Broadway and the belt
line runs through the village, being on both sides
of the avenue. How the name originated we are
unable to say, as there is no family of Highlands
here or ever were that have heard of. 1t might
have been called Susanville, or Janevile, or Sal
lieville as well as Highandtown, but as it isqute
pretty name will content ourselves with it and
not ask for any change. Highlandtown is a very
pretty little village and is populated with clever
class of people, who are industrious and enterpris-
ing and therefore thrifty. Beer brewing is the
principal business of the greater part of the peo-
pie, but there is every other branch of business
carried on. We have three stores, two blacksmith
shops, a carriage factory and two public schools
and by stretching our limits we can claim another
school and also two churches"
We will tell this apparently obtuse correspon-
dent how the village of Highandtown got its name.
1t is simply this 1t is located on very high
ground, overlooking the river and bay, and has
perhaps higher location than any other village
in the district. That's all there is about it. :

Moving for the Belt Commission Bill,

Moving for the Belt Commission Bill
large meeting of the citizens ofthe 18th district
who are residents and taxpayers near the city
limits, was held at Highandtown, on Tuesday
night last. Over 100000 worth of property was
represented at the meeting, which seemed very
much in earnest in its support of the Pole bill,
which provides for Belt commission. Mr.. H..
A. Lucy stated that the meeting was to perma-
nently organize a Belt Association with a view of
protecting the interests of taxpayers. He claim
ed that very large portion of the taxes of Balt-
more county are raised in the "Bet," and no ade-
quate return is made. The main thoroughfare in
Highlandtown is in disgraceful condition, and
the County Commissioners refuse to expend a
dollar to remedy it. The protection against fire
is insufficient, said Mr.. Lucy, and the police sYs=
tenn is so regulated that after midnight the prop
ery of all is at the mercy of thieves and ncendia.
ries. Mr.. Lucy read Mr.. Poles bill and said it
would remedy many of the existing evils which
create such loud complaint from taxpayers in
the "Bet."
The following permanent officers were chosen
H. A. Lucy, president; Henry Schudenberg,
vice president; George D. Storz, secretary; Ihilip
Wagner, treasurer.
resolution endorsing the Pole bill was unan-
imously adopted, and Mr.. Lucy was appointed to
convey it to Annapolis.
The resolution recites that the passage of Mr..
Poles bill is necessary because it places the police
department, fire department and lamp system un-
der the control of the citizens Of that portion of
the county known as the Belt who are mostly in
terested in the management of said departments
that under the past and present management of
said departments the citizens of the Belt have
failed to receive that security to person and proper
ty which they have a right to receive and expect
from said departments.
1t also requests that section or clause be in
serted in Mr.. Poles bill providing that in all
cases in which charges may be preferred against
any person persons who may be employed by
said board for any misconduct or neglect of duty,
the said board of Belt commissioners shall be re-
quired to meet at the station house nearest to the
charged, to hear and determine said charges
thereby saving the petitioners the great
time and expense now incurred in attending the
office oc the County Commissioners in the hearing

WHILE there is considerable agitation
in the boom for Nevada, and measures are
being taken 10 attract capital and settlers to
our State, why not boom Lyon little. You
can travel over the State and not find a bet
ter county 10 settle in, provided you mean
business. There is a large area Of land that
could be made TO produce almost anything
that is raised in any country. This is one
of the finest agricultural sections to be
found. The finest vegetables in the world
are raised along the Carson and Walker riv-
ers where irrigation can be obtained. Wheat
that took the first premium at the Worlds
Fair was raised in this county, and our po-
tatoes beat the world. Our mining indus.
tries are developing into something substan-
tial, and all that is required to make Lyon
more prosperous is capital to develop the
mines and make a market and an iyigating
system whereby the land can be waered SO
tina. it, will produce crops to supply the
p market. This is about all any country
e. wants, but when this boom for Nevada take
place, don't let it be forgotten, that Lyon
couasy is in Nevada.

BE CAREFUL.

An endless number OF bills will be pre-
sented for the consideration OF our next Leg
islature. Some of them, no doubt will
have merit, but the majority will be intro.
duced by lobbyists; members who think
they have an idea, or that some Of their
friends have; blackmalers, etc. Considera
bic legislation is necessary, but the greatest
good that can be done will be for Legislators
to pass no bill until they become we'll ac-
quainted with what results it will have. Be
careful, and see that no buncombe bills are
put through. Good legislation does not con-
sist Of passing large number Of bills, but
rather Of the good qualities and merits Of
the few.

NEVADA.
HOW NOW

There has been considerable newspaper
talk in regard to legalizing State Lottery,
and many Of the State papers believe it
would be good plan. We do not, for sew
eral reasons. 1t may all be thai a vast
amount Of money is sent out Of the State to
help support the managers of the Louisiana
lottery; and that the greatest part Of this
large amount comes from the poorer class Of
people will be admitted. How much great
er would be the drain on their nattened
purses were the lottery headquarters to be
located in Virginia City, Carson o., Reno.
There are plenty of ways for people Of
speculative turn of mind TO risk their money
for gain now. Instead Of urging that IL
censed lottery be established in the State VIC
would advocate more strict enforcement Of
the laws in regard to lotteries. The Carson
Hidex upon making the statement that 1000
was sent from Carson last month for the pur-
chase OF tickets, was informed by Irregular
dealer" that the amount would exceed $1,000
and that he, himself sent away $4,000. We
would suggest that this Irregular dealer" be
nailed TO the cross and made to pay the fine
imposed by the law for selling, purchasing
or giving tickets of any lottery. What is
the use OF having a law unless it is enforced?
by the enforcement of the law as it already
stands the greater part Of the drain OF money
from the pockets of the poor would be stop
ped.

The Professor went to work deliberately to

postmaster General the finest obtainable
samples OF Arizona products of horned toads,
lizards, centpedes, scorpions and tarantu

specimen OF the rattlesuaks species. Each OF
these was accompanied by long and graphic

The Augusta Mil Troubles.

The Augusta mill operatives appear to
have made the mistake of striking for
/ higher wages at a time when the mill
! owners do not care whether their mills
/ are running or not. In fact, if what the
mill presidents say is true, namely, that
| the mills have been losing money for the
last three years, they would rather shut
down the mills than continue them in
operation.
The presidents were willing to continue
to run the mills at the wages they were
paying, positively refused an advance.
| Their purpose in running the mills even
at loss was to afford employment, they
allege, for the thousands of people de-
pendent upon them for bread. They, OF
| course, constantly hoped that business
would improve, and they even went so
far as to promise an increase of wages as
soon as business justified 1t.
What is to be gained by striking al this
time! The strikers say that they were
working for starvation wages. If the mill
presidents tell'the truth, the mills were
not dong as we'll as that, and isn't it bet
ter to take starvation wages than no
wages at allI
Four thousand operatives are now out
OF employment in Augusta, and the
means of obtaining bread has been
taken from 1000 or 5000 people, All
branches of business must suffer. Thou
sands or dollars were paid out every week
to the operatives and distributed through
the town. While the strike lasts there
will be more credit than cash business.
1t is question whether the shutting
down of all the other mills because OF the
strike In the Augusta is justidabe. The
mill presidents claim, however, that as
the operatives OF all the mills had COM
bined for self protection, and as the strike
in the Augusta was sustained by the
other mills, they were justified in COM
bining for self protection. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the strike bears hardest on
those least able to bear it. The fact that
there was such readiness to shut down
the mills in which no strike had taken
place is pretty good evidence that the
mills were making no money. Had they
been making money combination Of the
mill presidents would hardly have been
possible.
