Joshua Lee, a we'll known constable of this
district, has resigned, and Clarence E. Brown,
of Sykesville, has been appointed in his place.
The new appointment gives general satlsfac-

Flournoy is now giving it great attention, and
will continue to do so. He will also raise the
standard of learning.
The public school is now being presided
over by Miss Lula Verney. Our former

her honeymoon with him at their Freedom

the Sykesville hotel project, and hopes, with
the aid of his progressive friends in Carroll

interest in this improvement, and proposes
stock company. Several gentlemen have al
ready signified their willingness to contribute
by taking stock. The site has not yet been
agreed upon. The plans and purposes will
shortly be put in shape and given to the pub
lie. The success of the cottages scheme has
proven beyond doubt that hotel at Sykes.
Vile will pay, as the season just closed found
the number of city people quartered here to
double that of any other season, with many
turned off for want of room.
The repairs on the Sykesville bridge have
been completed. 1t is now strong structure.
The work was done by James S. Hyatt, of
this place. The new bridge at Gathers
Siding is also finished, is great improve.

affair, and was built by A. J. Shipley.
Considerable seeding has been done, and
by the 10th of the month the whole crop will
be sown. Notwithstanding the low price of
wheat the crop seeded this fall will be large,
as indicated by the great quantity of fertilizer
used.
Considerable complaint has been made
lately by the delayed running of the passenger
trains on the B. & O.. The railroad people
say it is caused by the increased freight. The
public say it is bad management. Wrecks on
that road are becoming as common as earth
quake shocks at Charleston.
Politics are looming up. The Second Con-
gressional District will ,give Shaw large
majority. The Republicans say his majority
will fall far short of what it was two years ago.

Cutting off corn and hauling in clover seed
are two of the busy orders now. Wheat seed
ing is about over and the early sown is COM
ing up nicely Some few have been thresh-
ing their clover and find the yield to be very
little. John G. Cook got five bushels of seed
bushels from a field of ten acres, while Geo.
C. Freyman only got two bushels from Eve
acres.
Our school has twenty pupils enrolled for
the fall term, thus far; some of whom have
been making very poor attendance. 1t is
impossible for any teacher in these days Of
mental activity and regular system, to keep q
school regularly graded and harmoniogsly
progressing without regular attendahce. The
school authorities are requiring better work
and more improvement in the school system;
therefore, the patrons of public schools should
take an interest in school work and keep their
children regular at school.

A colored man pawned coat in Boston on
Tuesday, and in one of the pockets there was
afterwards found written confession of
murder committed in Cincinnati in 1882.
The paper was signed civilian FL. Downes."
The man was arrested, and at the police head
quarters admitted that he stabbed man
named Tobie Cain, in Cincinnati, in the
month of October, and that Cain afterwards
died. Downes said he was arrested for the
murder, but on the testimony of Gains wife
and her sister he was acquitted. The comics
sion, he said, was prompted by troubled
conscience. He wrote it about six months
ago to send to Cincinnati Judge, but after
wards changed his mind.

any time for saving, although a lot of orders
are on hand for lumber for buildings to be
erected this fall.

TheWestminster club, organized few weeks
ago, is a strong amateur organization, and
has defeated every club it has met. It lost a
game to the Snowman Union club last Friday,
after easily defeating the same club the day
before. The game was lost by Gist staying IN
the box too long and some errors. he had
been engaged in shooting matches few days
previous, and his right arm and shoulder we're
sore and bruised from the kicking OF ms gun.
Before his arm got tired he had struck out six
men, had held the Stowman's down to two
hits. and the score was 5 to 2 in favor of the
home club. This was at the end of the fourth
inning. Had Gist been able to pitch the
balance of the game as he pitched the nrst
four innings. the home club would have
won easily Notwithstanding the bad errors
made by the Westminsters.
Below will be found the full scores of the
two games played with the Snowman Union,
the Patapscos, of Baltimore, and the Madison
Square club of the same city.

FREDERICK AND WESTMINSTER.
For several weeks the managers of the
Westminster club have been endeavoring to
arrange game with the Frederick club. The
managers of the latter have pretended they
were willing to have their club meet the
Westminsters. After repeated efforts on the
part of Westminster to get Frederick to name
date, on last Saturday the Frederick mana
gers offered to play the Westminster club here
to-day, pp condition that the game should be
played early enough for the visitors to get
home the same day; that they be allowed
their own umpire, and be given guarantee
of $50.
These terms were made in the hope that
Westminster would not accept. The Freder-
lex team was very glad to come here some
weeks ago, when Westminster had no regular
club, for its expenses only, about $25, and to
accept the Westminster umpire. Now that
Westminster has q club that can beat the
Frederick team, the Frederick managers are
afraid to play it. They prefer to play ,ceak
clubs, boast of their victories, and claim
the championship of the State. As unfair as
the offer Of Frederick was, the Westminster
managers accepted the terms. As soon as an
acceptance was telephoned, Frederick again
backed down upon frivolous excuses. On
Tuesday challenge, of which the following
is copy, was sent to Frederick, but up to
Friday noon nothing was heard in reply:
