PERJURY CASE AT GALT.-In Justice
Stringfield's Court, Gait, the case Of James
Carroll, charged with perjury, was taken
ND for examination Thursday 1t was al
legged against him that recently, during the
trial of civil suit in which he was defend
ant, he falsely testified that he did not owe
the plaintiff a certain sum of money. 1t
was proved, however, that whether he had
owed the money or not, the claim was al
lowed, and consequently his testimony on
the point was immatetial, and therefore,
even if false, not perjury. When the testi-
mony of two witnesses had been taken at
the hearing on Thursday, and this state OF
facts ELECTED, the defendant was discharged,
on motion of the District Attorney.

An IIleglble Prescription.

A gentleman received note from his
lawyer which he was unable to decipher.
On his way to his Office he met friend
at the door of drug store. The friend,
after vainly attempting to read the note.
suggested that they step inside and hand
it to the druggist without comment.
The druggist. after studying it in 81
lence few minutes, stepped behind his
prescription case and in short time re-
turned with bottle of medicine duly
labeled, and bearing directions. When
the gentleman saw his lawyer he was
informed that the note was notice for
him to call at his Office between and
4 p. m. of the following day. 1t is a
pretty difficult matter to stick" the regu-
lation druggist. Medical Age.

CivIlizinr tho MONKEY.

Perhaps the only attempts which have
been made to civilize the monkey have
been in Malabar, India. A fine species,

CHERRY langur. The natives there have
a tanning machine, called the punka
In other days the punka-which con-
ssts of movable frame covered with
canvas and suspended from the ceiling
was kept in motion by slave pull
ing cord. An English officer conceived
the idea of teaching the langur to do the
work. He took one OF the species and
tied its hands to the cord, while, by
means of another cord, the machine was
kept in motion. The movement of the
cord was up and down. and the animal
saw the motion of the machine. Its mas
ter patted its head and fed it with candy,
and the langur soon learned to think it

IN A DuTcH PRISON.
The Pen tentlary Rather na Embellish-
mcnt Than Disigurcment.

The Pen n'tentary Rather na Embelliah-
mont Than a Disigarcmcnt.
A prison in Holland is rather an en-
belIishment than Disagreement to
town. Mt lest such is the fine new peni-
tentiary at Leeuwarden, one of the most
famous prisons in Holland, and model
of its kind. 1t is completely built OF
stone, bricks. and iron, consequently
fire proof; staircases. halls, and work.
shops are built with mathematical pro-
cision and In such manner as To permit
of constant surveillance. The yards are
large and spacious, all the rooms white
WASHED from top to bottom and well
ventilated, the inner and outer wnlls
even bearing witness to the proverbial
Dutch cleanliness. The steps and pass
ages are equally clean, and you would
look in VAIN for a soiei spot or grain of
dust. Not cracked or furnished pane
of glass can be found in the whole build
ing. Everything is washed, brushed,
and waxed with care we might well
envy in many of our American homes.
The dormitories are regularly scrubbed
every day and we'll ventilated. Their
aspect is, however, curious. Each con-
sists of a large white washed, asphalt
f1oored room, in the center Of which is
an immense iron-trellised cage, armed
on the inside with spikes. This cage Is
divided ipto over 100 cells. each separ-
ated by sheet-i iron walls; each has
its bed, consisting of thin mat
tress, a pillow, pair of sheets
of course texture, and two coverlets.
Each night the prisoners are locked in
these narrow cells, and thus rcpose per-
fectIy isolated from each other. All
around the dormitory run iron water
pipes, with taps fixed at intervals, at
which the convicts are supposed to per-
form their ablutions. Wafer is general
throughout the whole prison, and is to
be met with on each story. Baths,
which the prisoners are compelled to
make use of at stated times, are on the
ground floor.
Tie prisoner has three meals per day.
In the morning. lukewarm milk and
water and piece of dry bread: at mid
day, a soup composed OF vegetables; in
the evening, coffee and brown bread.
Sometimes they are allowed a small
quantity Of meat. but more often bacon.
The prisoners. however. can improve
upon this food by the money they earn.
They have, in fact, small interest in
their work, four-sixths Of which is at
their disposal the balance being very
properly capitalized and handed to them
on their dismissal. Everything is con-
Quoted with military discipline in a
Dutch prison, which allows neither Of
I'll. will nor r.uaafior, The dg1nuaaY1a 4,
kind OF subterranean cells, are for the
unruly, and irons for the mutinous. No
conversation is allowed between the
prisoners during hours of work. Perfect
order prevails. as a rule, and attempts
at escape are events unknown. - Brook

ANNAPOLIS, Md, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1ss
where 10 Dig the wen.

Let us remember that well viii drain
an area. with diameter equal to twice
its depth. Therefore. a well twelve feet
deep will drain an area, the diameter Of
which il twenty-four feet. that is to say
that it viii drain the surrounding soil
for twelve feet in every direction. OBJ
viously then the privy should be more
than the depth of the. well away from it.
and more than this again, il it is pro-
posed to place it on higher level,
which, however. should never he done.
The well should be lined inside thor
ougily with mortar. so that percolation
can not occur between the crevices of
the bricks, and it should be well covered,
so that surface drainage can not get into
it, for you want to drink water that has
come into the well from the bottom,
after it has been purified by filtration
through the earth. Thus then these are
the precautions to be observed in locat-
ing and building your well in the coun-
try. How about the city? Well water
in the city should never be used: the
sources of contamination are too numer-
Gus and too hidden to be avoided.

A GrIm Rlt nr Nif.

A couple of London garroters were
sentenced to the gallows. One was a
Frenchman, the other Prussian. The
fatal platform was erected a few meters
above the level of the Thames. The
Frenchman's turn came first. He pre-
sented his neck, the moose was placed
around it. and two seconds later he was
launched into space. But. unexpected
luck! the rope snapped. The bandit
dropped into the water and swan for
his life. The crowd applauded. The
Prussian had looked on meanwhile with
perfect composure; then. turning to the
executioner. he said: Il say. find me a
better quality of ropc-I can't swim. -

A Battle in a Texas Town.

GALVESTON, TEX, April S.-A special from
Laredo says-The intense excitement and
lawlessness which has prevailed here for the
past fortnight eliminated last evening in a
bloody riot The immediate cause is attrib-
uted by many to a circular which appeared
Yesterday morning announcing that the Dem
ocratic party would hold funeral services at
four O. clock in the afternoon over the party
known here as "Huarches." Directly after
the appearance of the circular it was an
nounced that the sHuarches" party would
prevent by force any such demonstration.
At clock the streets leading to the point
whence the Democratic procession was an
nounced to start were blocked with armed
men, For half an hour the suspense was in
tolerable. Then it was announced that there
would be no effort to bury the effigy of the
defeated party. This had a pacific effect
and the crowd began to dispense. Suddenly
the music of the Democratic band struck up,
and the procession moved out to and down
Main street and turned into the street leading
to the main plaza. When the head of the
column had reached the front of Martins
store party of men armed with Winches-
tiers and revolvers charged the procession.
Instantly over one hundred men became en-
gagged in deadly conflict, and for half an hour
regular battle ragged along the street neal
the river. At the height of the conflict a
small cannon which had been used by the
''Huarches' party, and which is said to have
been charged with nails and stones, was fired
down the street. By5 o'clock the mob spirit
was supreme, and it was feared that the
women and children would be at the mercy
of the rioters At this critical moment word
was dispatched to Col. Barnard, commandant
at Fort Mcintosh, that the heavy firing in the
city was caused by an attack by Mexicans
from the other side of the Rio Grande. II
took but few minutes to double quick two
companies of infantry into the town, before
whom the mob quickly dispersed, and in a
short time every armed man on the street
had his weapons taken away from him and
order was restored. The casualties, so far as
known, are five killed and three wounded.
All the killed were Mexicans except one,
young American named Brecker. The
wounded are Paucho Garcia, Mr.. Poggen-
pohl and nephew of Daria Gonzales. Mr..
Poggenpohl is prominent citizen and was
wounded by stray bullet while standing in
front of A. G. Dickenson's law office. Those
who took part in the Democratic procession
claim that they were fred into and only acted
on the defensive.

the paving of the sidewalks, but all have now
paved with one or two exceptions, and our
town presents a neat appearance, and the
sanitary condition is second to none in the
county.

remarks, and invited the members in to par
