@-The subject of public roads is getting to be
one of engrossing interest to the people of Balti-
more county-not that it is new one, or one in
which much concern has not always been felt, but
the almost criminal negligence of some of the coun-
ty supervisors, coupled with utter disregard OF
the public demands, is beginning to excite feel
ing among the sufferers from their shortcomings
that one of these days will make itself felt in
manner that will be unmistakable. A great many
people-we may say thous ands-meet their obi
cations to the county promptly and willingly,
only asking that the money they pay in taxes for
the support of the county government shall be
judiciously expended. In no item to which they
contribute are they more directly interested than
they are in the money paid by them to keep their
roads in good condition, and when they see this
money injudiciousy expended, if not absolutely
thrown away, they very naturally feel DISPOSE
ton to kick in the traces and call down maledic-
lions upon the heads of those who foist upon them
incompetent, unworthy and, perhaps in some in
stances, dishonest road supervisors. We make no
charge against any one. We know that many of
the supervisors are among our best citizens and
well qualified for the work, but we do say that if
some of the reports which reach US are true, some
of these officials are utterly unfit to ill the offices
which they now disgrace.

A Milk-Whita Snake.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Darnale postofice, Anne Arundel county,
Md says: "a mik-white snake, six feet long,
was captured Thursday by two youths, near
Jewell postofice, Anne Arundel county, and car
ried to Plummer's store where it is now kept in a
dry goods box. 1t has a head like the black snake,
with brightg listening eyes, slim, tapering neck,
the body about an inch in diameter in the largest
part. 1t does not seem to be much frightened by
persons around it, but shows some anxiety at
the holes in the opening in the Stats the top of
the box. It does not show vicious disposition,
as it only moves about when touched by a switch,
and puts out its tongue. 1t has been known to
be in the neighborhood for some years, and last
summer party went out to capture it, but it made
its escape by hiding under the roots of a tree,
where they could not get it. Much curiosity is
felt here to learn something about his snakeship
and his family"

Ng-The President and his bride up to noon on
Tuesday spent the time very delightfully."- in their
cottage at Deer Park, Md. The hotel at that
place has not yet opened for the season and the
only cottages, besides the Presidents, that are 90
cupied are those of ex-senator Henry G. Davis
and Hon. S. B. Elkins, so that there was no great
rush of callers to interfere with the full enjoyment
Of 1.-THE honeymoon. Detectives surrounded the Pres
idents cottage at all hours of the day and night,
and kept off the curious people who hocked in from
the country to get peep at the distinguished pair
But the newspaper correspondents were on hand
in force and every movement of the Conserved of
all observers" was religiously recorded and wired
to their respective papers. 0fcourse these scrbes
continued to do some really artistic lying, but it
was harmless. The President put in the time
driving about the mountains enjoying the grand
scenery and he also tried his hand at trout-fshing
with fair success. The President and Mrs. Cleve-
land were delighted with Deer Park and prolonged
their stay longer than they at first intended
There was great deal of speculation as to their
future movements, but the President, to the sur
prise of all, on Tuesday morning ordered his
special train to be ready by noon and at 1.30 the
party left for Washington, reaching the White
House safely early in the evening.

THE object of this suit is to procure decree

Emily Matilda Beall and Edward Albert Beall, his
only children and heirs at law. That the said
Amanda died in the year 1868, leaving last will

@rAnother brutal outrage was perpetrated at
Prince Frederick, Calvert county, on Wednesday
of last week, the victim this time being little
girl aged but five years, the daughter of Rev. L..
M. Lyle, pastor of the Southern Methodist Church
at that place. The author of this crime was
young negro named Charles Whittle, who had
been raised by Rev. Mr. Lyle. He enticed the
child from the house and then attempted feloni-
Gus assault, but was frightened off by the arrival
of an older sister. Whittle was lodged in Jail and
on Sunday night he was taken out by body of
masked men and hung to tree near the town.
We commend this prompt action of the men of
Calvert. When the guilt of such brutal crimi-
nal is clearly established-as in this case-the
best way to dispose of him is by Judge Lynch's
court. The country is well rid of such scoundrels
and this is the most certain and effective manner
of disposing of them.

@~Evidently Delaware county, Pa, is pro-
crossing. Instead of insisting that would-be
voters at party primary election shall say they
had voted or would vote the ticket, the whole
ticket and nothing but the ticket at general cleo
tions the ruling party of that county is now dis
cussing test that asks the applicant if he voted
or intends to vote for a majority of the party
ticket. As this test leaves the scratcher consid-
cradle room for his blue pencil when bad candi-
date or two is on the ticket, its adoption will
doubtless work satisfactorily for good while yet
Thanks to the Independent vote, majority OF
the average ticket is apt to be pretty decent IN
these times

of the recent anti Chinese riots in that city and
the report of the jury makes some extraordinary
and rather startling disclosures. 1t alleges that
sufficient evidence has been laid before the jury
to convince the members that there exists through
out the country reasonable organization known
as the cred American International Working
mems Association" This organization is de-
scribed at great length. Among other things the
report says: "This association, with all its
branches, is essentially anarchial in theory and
practice The main articles of its creed arson,
robbery and murder. Its proclaimed purpose is
the overthrow of our government and the erection
upon its ruins of so-called socialistic common
wealth. The policy pursued by this association
is to control of all labor organizations and
particularly of the Knights of Labor to see to it
that all officers of labor organizations are chosen
from the Scientific Socialists to employ every
means to produce discomfort among the people
and to stir up on all occasions and at all times as
much strife and agitation as possible"

Gg~ The Delaware peaches are to be ruined, it
seems now, because there is so big crop that if
they don't fall off pretty soon the trees will break
down. In view of the many dangers which al
ways threaten the peach crop when growing, it is
little less than a miracle that any peaches ever
mature for the market. Somehow there are gen.
orally peaches enough for the eating in peach
time, however, and the super abundance now
threatened will hardly brighten anybody into the
helief that a peach famine is imminent.
