matters which concern the health of the people o

Miss Dora Marshall, who has been assistan

succeeds Miss Marshall.
Must the Towsontown hog pen 60, or mus
cur people be subjected to a yearly recurrence o
typhoid fever on account of it? This is tn,
question of the hour and the citizens can decide
it for themselves. 1t has about come down t
this-Shall the people or the hogs live? We leav'
the former to decide for themselves.
The health authorities of Frederick City
decided, after most careful investigation, tha
the hog pens in that town were responsible fol
the scarlet fever diphthera and other contagiou,
diseases that existed there year or two ago and
which this summer came near causing an epidemic
of typhoid. This is lesson from which our peo.
pie might learn wisdom.
The County Commissioners have offered
ward Of $500. in connection with the sum of S3Ot
offered By number Of citizens, for the arrest and
stolen horses in this neighborhood. The reward
is limited TO two months from October LIST. Thii
is very proper action and IL Is hoped il may lead
10 the capture Of the scoundrels.
Monday and Tuesday Of the past week were
intensely hot days, the Thermometer on Tuesday
going above ninety and the weather was more op.
pressive than any experienced during the past
summer. cold wave struck Us some time during
Tuesday night and at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the Thermometer marked fifty eight degrees
q fall Of more than thirty degrees within twelve
hours.
Ii is not generally known, yet it is a fact
that IL is necessary for applicants for marriage
licenses to make affidavit TO the ages Of the con-
tracing parties. The new law. which likes the
license Zee In this State at 81, makes this oblga-
tory upon the person applying for the license and
unless he knows the ages of the prospective bride
and groom he cannot obtain the license. Let
this be remembered.
The Towson Guards will give their third
annual hop on the tournament grounds, in Chew's
Grove, adjoining this place, Thursday evening,
October 9Th. Should the weather prove unfavor
able the dance will take place in the armory. A
fne band of music has been engaged and those
who attend may feel assured of spending very
pleasant evening. The committee will do all in
its power for the success Of the affair.
DIR. Massenburg, our sanitary officer, was
before the County Commissioners on Tuesday to
lodge complaint against number of citizens OF
Towsontown who are allowing dangerous nuisances
to exist upon their premises, to the serious injury
of the health of the town. The Board will notify
these people that unless these nuisances are abated
at once, they will be proceeded against according
10 law. We are glad to see that action is to be
taken in this matter, it having been already too
long delayed.
"A correspondent of The UNION who writes
from the 9th district, wants to know when we are
coming up to see the "Devi's Back Bone?" This
is delicate subject with US. Fellows who have
lived in Towsontown as long as we have don't
want to have any more intimate relations with the
gentleman whose vertebra he asks us to see than
we have already experienced. We must postpone
this pleasure (?) indefinitely. 1t has been quite
warm here the past week and we don't care about
making any new acquaintances just now. Thanks,
awfully.
An esteemed correspondent, who occasion.
ally favors The UNION with an interesting local
letter, closes late budget in the following strain
"Please excuse bad writing and grammar, as I
havnt practiced either this summer being too busy
trying to make both ends meet, and paying for
the privilege of being governed by the powers
that be at Towsontown. If fellow could get on
the jury once in o while he could get rest and
improve his exchequer, but alas! the lightning
never strikes in our neighborhood." Perhaps our
good friend is better off. The average country
man thinks Towsontown a terribly wicked place
and if our correspondent came here for even one
term of court he might be contaminated. "Better
endure the ills we have than fly to those we know
not Of"

ton, of the down train, which was about three
minutes late, supposing that the north bound had
made the siding, applied his air brakes and drift
ed down the grade and around the curve, when to
his astonishment he saw the other train on the
main track. He reversed his engine, but it was
force to shake the passengers up very considerably
and smash the pilots of both engines. The only
person injured was Mr.. Charles Harry, of Cambria
Station, who was slightly cut on the head and one
hand by the glass in a door by which he was stand
ing. The baggage car of the down train was well
filled with milk cans, which were upset and their
contents poured out upon the floor. The trains
were delayed about thirty minutes. The officers
of the road, pending an investigation into the
cause Of the collision, suspended Engineer Guyton
