We have been in session 10 days. During that

presentments and the same number of true bills
of indictment. We visited the Jail. according to
custom, and have nothing to remark especially
in connection with that institution, which we

While the Grand Jury have diligently ex-
amined into every alleged violation of law they
have inquired particularly into the violation of
the local option law.
eexamined great number of witnesses, from
all parts of the county, with especial references
to infractions of this law. These witnesses were
examined at length and with great particularly,
but their answers, except in a few instances,
were 80 evasive that no presentments could be
found. In all cases where the evidence would
justify 1t, presentments were made. We desire
to express to your Honor, to the States Attorney
and to the other officials of the Court generally our
appreciation of the valuable assistance they have
rendered as. thereby greatly facilitating our

THE DEER CREEK AND SUsQUEuANNA RAIL
RoAD.-Increased interest is shown in the pro-
ject of building railroad through the beauti-
full Deer Creek region of Hartford county. The
committee TO procure a charter, consisting of
Johns H. Janney, 8. A. Williams, Col. Herman
Stump, D. G. Wharton Smith, j. Husband, Jr.,
and Benz, Silver, Jr., met at the residence of
Mr.. Janney, last Saturday. A charter was pre-
pared and submitted to Judge Waters for ap-
proval. 1t provides that the capital stock of
the company shall be 100000, divided into
shares of $50 each.
Messrs. James Lee, Geo. E. Silver and DR..
John sappington are committee to solicit con-
trbutions towards providing for the preimi-
nary expenses incident to getting the enterprise
in shape. Subscriptions to this fund will be
credited upon subsequent subscriptions to stock
of the road. With long pull, a strong pull
and pull altogether there is scarcely doubt
that this important enterprise can be accom-
plished. The part of Hartford through which it
is proposed to build this railroad is one Of the
most fertile, enterprsing and desirable to be
found anywhere, and the success of the road
would be assured from the start. The incorpo-
rators will be elected at a meeting of the COM
mittee to be held in Bel Air, on Saturday, Dec.
4th.

The Town COMMISSIONERS Of Bel Air, at
their meeting, last Friday night, considered
the propriety of revoking the permission here
tofore granted to Mr.. Isaac Amos to erect
hay and cattle scales, on Green street, between
Main and Bond streets. Since permission was
granted by the board protest has been received
from persons in the neighborhood, against the
proposed scales. Mr.. Amos was represented by
his counsel, Mr.. George Y. Maynadier, and the
petitioners by Mr.. S. A. Williams. The Com
missioners took no further action in the matter
but will meet again tonight. Scales of SINH
lar character were used in connection with the
same property by former tenant, Mr.. p. F.
Ball, who lately removed them to the vicinity
of his new store.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION
ERs.-The Commissioners met on Monday
Three petitions, numerously signed, were pre-
sented by Mr. E. NJ. Allen for public road
Mary b. Hitchcock, on the road leading from
Hopewell to Hayre de Grace, to point on the
Chapel road, near the Havre dc Grace depot of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, SO as to avoid
the necessity of passing under the bridge of said
railroad, over the Havre de Grace road, and also
to afford access 10 the depot of the B. and O..
Railroad. Hosea Barnes, Geo. B. Silver aud
Thos. E. Cathcart were appointed examiners on
the proposed road.
The Commissioners were also occupied in
examining road and other accounts.
The board will meet again December 18th.
A BARN FALLS DowN.-On Thursday after
noon of last week Mr.. James G. Kane's barn,
near Long Green station, NJ. G. Railroad, fell
down, crushing to death Jersey bull and four
COWS, which were in the barn yard Three of
the cows were killed outright, but the fourth
was still alive when extricated from the ruins
the next day. The building was filled to its ut
most capacity with 200 barrels of corn, and a
large quantity of hay. No one was present
when the accident occurred. When the hands
returned in the evening the barn was down.
The entire structure, which was 80 by so feet in
size, fell off the abutments, into the yard below.
The timbers were sound and the wind was not
high. The accident occurred probably from an
unequal settling of the corn and hay. Fortu-
natey the roof fell in such a way as to protect
the corn. A Buckeye binder, roller, circu-
lar saw, plows and other implements were
buried in the ruins.

ACQUISITION OF HEALTH.
What Baking Pondsr Shall We Use?

Bread biscuit and cake generally made by the aid
of baking powder enter largely into daily food that
their debasemen t. the introduction of any injurious or
detcroratng substance is of serious concern to
the public health What baking powder shall use to
avoid the lime and alum found in many eavennq

question: therefore, of direct importance to every ind
vdual.
1t an undispuabe fact that all baking powders with
the single exception of the Royal contain or the
other Of these aduterants-me or alumni quantities
from five to twenty per cent This reduces their strength

us from disease.
The Importance of this matter in its be 4f1ng upon the
life and health of the public much fully realized in
England where under stringent laws severe punishmen
for the manufacture and sale of articles aduerated With
lime and alum are of frequent occurrence.
The L" Royal has been determined by the Government
chemists and the most prominent food analysts after

What an Experienced Hotel proprietor
Says about the New Hotel Movement
MIR. Richard H. stearns and lady have
been spending the past two days IN the
city. Mr.. stearns is proprietor Of the Az
gyle house. Babylon, Long Island \. "
and the Magnolia house, Green Cove
Springs, Fla. The season at the latter
place has about closed, and Mr.. Stearns is
nov fastening North TO get ready for the
opening OF the summer business there.
IL was expected that he would remain in
Savannah, and give our people the bene-
lit OF bis experience as an expert,
on the effect of a hotel upon the prosperi-
ty of city, but his business would not
permit.
In brief conversation yesterday
with representative OF the MORN
ING NEWS he expressed himself satisfied
OF the great benefits to be derived from a
hotel in Savannah 1t would attract to
and keep in the city men of capital who
would do here, as they have done else
where, invest in real estate and assist in
developing the country, TO say nothing of
the thousands Of dollars spent by them at
the hotel. He said it should also be con-
siderec not only what line hotel viii
do for The city, but what direct injury IS
being done i'm not having one while other
cities nave them. The collateral benefits
TO be derived from a new hOtel IN Sav9ai-
nan, MIR. Stearns remarked, are simply IN
calculable.

A HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
\ Suggestion That Ought to Meet with
Favor

SAVANNAH, GA, April 5.--Edttor
Morning NelgS: Allow me to suggest,
through the columns OF your able and OBJ
lIging paper, that a horticultural Show"
would be a feature OF interest, pleasure
and qualification a the forthcoming cen
tennial. Let the committee OF that and the
projectors OF the other meet and discuss
the practicability; as TO the desirabilty
there can be no question. May |, as an
amateur flower grower, on behalf Of such.
and the lovers of the beautiful in nature,
suggest that the florists in the near neigh.
hood of savannah be asked 10 cooperate:
that ladies aud gentlemen having gardens
aad green houses be asked to contribute
their exhibits, and an opportunity be
given growers at a distance; contrbu-
tons might be taken up to deiray pre-
liminary expenses. A large marquee
could be hired, or a temporary wooden
structure put up on the grounds. With a
pleasant Arrangement of flowers and
plants, and a band OF music to play at IN
teryals, il would be an attraction OF no
mean order, and give an impetus to the
proposed Horticultural Society that would
20 far to establish it now and at once on
a firm basis. The ladies' action and your
Endorsement is all that is needed.
While think Of it, we all know and
have seen the thousands OF wild flowers
growing by lake and stream. woods, fields
and valleys. Special attention ought TO
be given and a prominent place provided
for them; whit the aid OF practical florists
and scientists have them classified and
named. Ny object is two fold, first, their
beauty, utility and botanical develop
ment; and second, as means TO help the
poorer class, who could gather and sell
thGm in the city. and induce the young ito
hunt haunts OF the wild flower"
The matter OF prizes or premiums, space
will not permit, or my province allow TO
go into. Yours respectfully,
NsIMpI. IcIrER y
