Buriedin Baltimore County Soil.

Buriedin Baltimore County Soil.-Wong
Gee the Chinaman who died in Baltimore last
week. was the first of his kind to be buried in
Baltimore county soil, and we hope he may be
the last. His funeral took place at Baltimore
Cemetery, on the Belair road, last Sunday after
noon, and was typical Chinese burial, with all
the tonfoolery usually INDUCED in on such occa-
sions in his native country. Hundreds of people,
attracted through curiosity, witnessed the cere-
monies and enjoyed them as they would circus
or something of that sort. On Tuesday reports
were circulated in Baltimore that Wong Gees
body had been stolen. This reached the ears of
his friends and three Cinnamon went to the UNDER
taker who served the funeral and demanded a
hack to go out and investigate. The carriage
was furnished and they started, carrying with
them q roasted chicken, china bowl and about
half peck of apples to complete portion of the
ceremony customary in the burial of a Chinaman.
Arriving at the cemetery, and after finding that
the body still remained as inferred on Sunday,
they proceeded with a very peculiar ceremony.
One of them took the chicken in his hands, and
after muttering some rather mysterious express
sions, Gu: off the head, legs and the part that
ally goes over the fence last and placed the re
mainder in the bowl which had previously been
placed on the grave and half filled with whskev.
On this was placed the apples. The trio then left
the grave and walked to another portion of the
cemetery. Returning in about twenty minutes,
they removed the chicken bowl and contents, but
let the apples remain. After some more manoeu-
vering they left.
According to the custom of the Chinese there
are three stages of mourning, with different
dress for each. In the first instance dark red
dish garment of coarse hempen cloth is worn, with
a cap of the same material, and cord about the
waist. In the second instance, observed
in this case, the mourners put on cap and
shoes of white. In the third which takes place
in about two weeks, the dress may be of silk, the
shoes white or blue. Children or relatives during
the period 60 often to the grave and weep. The
year.

"Serious" Accident-But Nobody
Hurt.-The Maryland Central is one of the most
fortunate railroads in the country, and this fac
was again established on Thursday by indisputa-
BILE evidence. The patrons Of the road well know
the difficulties encountered in ascending the long
stairway at Boundary avenue station, and few
there ara who have not one time another said
some "tough" things about it. Last Thursday
afternoon, while there were very few people about
the station, the portion of this stairway nearest
the bridge took notion to take a tumble, and
down it went. The heavy stone wall which sup
ported the stairway at the corner of the livery
stable of Messrs. Denny & Mitchell, has never
been regarded as being too safe, and wooden sup
ports had been employed to sustain it. The late
heavy rains had so softened the earth at the foot
of this wall that it was no longer able to support
itself, and at o'clock Thursday afternoon it gave
way, carrying with it half the stairway. About
ten minutes before the wall fell the men about the
station noticed that it was weakening and they at
once set to work to remove the passenger coaches
which were "made up" for the 4 o'clock train
The cars we're quickly uncoupled and those nearest
the station had scarcely moved when the crash
came. The heavy stones and timbers caught the
rear end of the last car, MASKING in the roof and
cutting off the platform-and this was all the
damage that was done, except, of course, the
wrecked stairway and the damage to the track,
which was covered by the debris to the depth of
ten feet. John Loker one Of the employees at the
station, through whose bravery the were
saved, made a very narrow escape. Hundreds of
people passed up and down this stairway daily,
and it seems like miracle that no one on it
when the crash came. Had it fallen when crowd
ed with passengers going from or to a train, tn G
result must necessarily have been of such nature
as to make one shudder at the mere contempla-
tion Of it.

The Avenue as a Driving Ro,

The Avenue as a Driving Road.-The
"horse editor of the Sunday american says ::
"There is large increase in the public interest
in driving matters as shown by the large crowds
of spectators who occupy Doth sides of Charles
avenue the stretch north of the toll gate
to witness the contests which take place between
local trotters on a Sunday afternoon. Outside Of
the shell roads for good footing Charles street
avenue is decidedly the best road out of the city,
but its condition could be materially improved in
some places. The charter calls for a sixty foot
road, but the road bed does not cover much more
than half this number of feet, and thoroughfare
which is patrOnized as this one, should be put in
the proper condition to justify owners of speedy
horses to drive upon it. The crowded condition
of this avenue few Sundays ago caused jam at
the toll gate which came very near resulting in
an accident. The post in the center of the road
Mt this point, in conjunction with the fence built
out to within fifteen feet of the toll gate door,
makes the road very dangerous to the trotter's
speeding especially if there are three or four
even abreast at this particular point. Some years
ago there was q severe accident at this point,
caused by the post in the center of the road, and
a request was made by several residents and road
drivers to remove it, and clear all distractions at
this point but no attention was paid to it by the
omners. The condition of the road bed does not
Justify owners of trotting horses to speed upon it
on account of its hard condition, which will in
time make any horse sore that travels it. If the
condition of the roads charter was carried out
there should be summer road on both sides of
what is now the macadamized road bed.

The Amoss Farm.-The last meeting of the
Failston Farmers Club was held at the residence
of Mr.. Garrett Amoss, near Fallston, Md. c. R. R.
This farm forms part of large tract that was set
tied by the Amoss family four or five generations
ago. James Amoss settled his sons, VIM. L. and
Oliver II. Amoss upon this tract and in turn Gar
rett Amoss succeeded to his fathers honors. An
old burying ground marks the graves of several
the Amoss family, and of one VIM. Amoss, who
was the founder of the Friends Meeting at Falls
ton The present Mr.. Amoss' father, being be-
lever in the use of lime, applied it freely, and
the good results very marked, contrasting
strongly with the system of farming pursued
around him. He erected the stone barn in 1918,
which was at that early day the largest in the
country around, and was though. by his neigh
bors to be foolishy large as he could not fill it..
Now, from the same acreage, the barn will not
hold one fourth the amount grown. The Club
made visit to the various points of interest upon
the farm, and were much pleased with the ample
feeding arrangements for his milk cows, Of which
he has thirty six, in fine order. Mr.. Amoss cuts
his feed for his stock, and is gratifed by the ex
pertinent in the increase in yield of milk since he
adopted the system, beside making SO much better
rotted material in the barnyard, from which he
has covered field Of twenty acres, and with prob
ably enough to cover almost as much more.

Western Run, 9th District.-Aprl, the

Western Run, 9th District.-April, the
second of the spring months, brings with it busy
season for the farmer. He has thus far done :
siderable plowing for oats but has seeded little in
the past month, and if he remembers last season
he viii not be discouraged for the greater part of
last years crop was sown in April and proved
one of unprecedented yield.
The planting of potatoes will also occupy his
time from the fact that every year yields its own
as they cannot be kept over for another year. In
seeding, plant from large seed, and | would ad-
wise those who have potatoes stored in damp eel
lars, to remove them to some high and dry place;
also rub off sprouts occasionally and they will
keep for months
Now is good time to select seed corn and it
can be done in this way with little trouble When
feeding stock lay aside the largest and in a
short time you will have all you need
After the 10th of this month 1 intend trimming g
apple trees, for the reason that the moon points
down.
Sales have been the order of the day for the
past two months, and among them find our
friend Joshua Merryman selling out. We con-
graduate the DR.. on his successful retirement.
For the present he will reside with the Episcopal
minister at St. Johns, and should ho attain unto
the title of D. D., it would be an agreeable sur
prise to his many friends.
Mr.. A. Cole of A.. sold his personal effects on
Monday last. During the progress of the sale
Mr.. Augustus Burgoyne was kicked in the face
by horse that was tied on the barn floor, knock
ing him insensible and a considerable time elaps
ed before he gained consciousness The injury
was re sarded as very serious.
The Hartford Mutual Fire Insurance Company
recently presented Mr.. Jacob Fowble with a
handsome silver watch and chain for his merito-
rious act in saving the barn from destruction at
the time of the burning of Mrs. E. G. Coles resi-
dence.
Ground has been broken at Butler for the erec-
tion of fine little cottage the store of Mr..
j. Il. Gies 1t is being built by DR.. J. H. Drach,
