Charged With Attempted
Intimidation.

Zackariah Taylor Hynson, colored, was
arrested on Saturday last on a warrant
issued by Justice Scott on the informa-
tion of Mr.. A. P. Shockley, for attempt
ing to intimidate voter. 1t is charged
that "Zack" said to Parker Price, colored
who was voting the Democratic ticket,
'sif you vote that ticket we will crack
your head" He waived hearing and
was held in $500 bail for court. Mr.. Jos.
L. Wells went his security in that amount.
States Attorney Evans also had Mr..
John NJ. Thackery, a well.known Repub-
ican, arrested on the same charge. He
relied on the testimony of Mr.. John
Kennedy, foreman of Singerly's pulp
works, who accompanied Price, an en-
ploye of the works. to the polls. He tes-
titled that Mr.. Thackery after Hynson
made the remark said ''yes crack him on
the head" A. P. Shockley, who was
called by the States Attorney said that
all Mr.. Thackery's remarks on that occa-
sion we're addressed to him, they being
engaged in a quarrel. Mr.. Evans then
abandoned the case against Mr.. Thackery.

Concerning "CIubs."

As Elkton has ''club" similar to the
one described in the following article which
was written by the Centreville correspon-
dent of Baltimore daily, and there may
be Other like organizations in other towns
of the county, we consider the following OF
local interest:
Application was made, and a charter
grarted, at the term Of the Circuit Court
for Queen Aune's County, for the organiza
ton of ''social, literary and musical
club" This was like a bomb thrown in the
midst of this town, and feeling of indig
nation and resentment has been aroused
which terminated yesterday in the general
circulation of the following petition, which
was signed by over four hundred OF the best
and most-intiuential people of the town:
.tAll good citizens who do not want to see a
club established in Centreville to defeat the
meet IN the court house Tuesday, November
49, at ocIoch =. Nj, to consider ways and
means to defeat it,
The meeting was called to order in the
town hall, where large and determined
audience hau collected.
Senator John Il. Brown advanced the opin-
ion that, as the charter had been already
granted, the only way of accomplishing any
thing in the direction of relief would be to
wait until the club had assumed more definite
form, and had begun operations, when
means might be taken to suppress 1t as a
nuisance 1t is supposed that the originators
of this new and novel enterprise are ventur-
ing upon their faith in the decision rendered
by the court in the case Of the Chestertown
club. Judge Robinson, however, having
his address to the jury, at the session of court
Just closed, severely commented upon such
organizations, as he looked upon such clubs
as only means used to evade the local option
| law. La the case which was taken to the
| Court of Appeals, that body stood three for,
i and three against, the legality of granting
charters to such bodies i'll local option dis
| tricts. The case was decided by Judge Mil.
| Ter. | think, in the court below, that a
charter could not be granted, and had be
been eligible to sit III the case on appeal, the
decision against such clubs would have been
decisive. Edwin H. Brown, prominent
lawyer, considers that the pest may be al
once proceeded against. The operations OF
these clubs in Kent and Talbot counties have
been of a most pernicious character. This
has prompted the energetic crusade against
| the measure in this town. 1t is said that
in prosperous club Of this character, for
the scientific, musical anu literary enter
| tainment of its members, the secretary could
not sign his name. The meeting adjourned
to meet gain on Friday.

The Last Herd 81 Buffalo,

Mr.. Clinton A. Snowden, of the Chi
cago Times, is the originator OF scheme
to save bisons that still remain on the
plains. 1t has been ascertained that OF
the millions which once roamed on the
prairies of the west only seventy five or
a hundred remain, and these are located
in the extreme southwestern portion Of
Texas An expedition is soon to start
for Texas to round up these buffalo.
The leading purpose is to perpetuate a
species of animal which is thoroughly
typical of American animal life; one OF
the controlling ideas of the trip being to
kill none of the animals while corralling
them or after their capture. News Of
the work of the expedition is to be sent
to the Times by carrier pigeons.
It is to be hoped this laudable expedi-
tion viii succeed 1t would seem as il
congress might do something to pro-
mote and encourage the preservation Of
this wonderful breed Of animals. !Scien-

lowed respectively by the Hook and
Ladder boys, the Engine company.
steamer and Sturgis Hose No. l, made
quite showing and proved conclusively
that Sturgis has a department to be
proud Of and one that nobody can
ssneeze at. After the parade the engine
was placed over the First street cistern
and throwing two streams soon emptied
it. Owing to inexperience in handling
the pipes, the hose men succeeded in
wetting nearly everybody within reach,
as well as giving themselves good soak
ing. The engine showed up well, con-
sidering it as a new machine and some
what stiff in the joints, and taking into
consideration 'ahe fact that although
handled by competent engineers, they
were not thoroughly acquainted with
the workings Of steam fire engine.
On Saturday afternoon the engine and
hose teams were out again and filed the
cisterns at the intersections of Second
street and Junction avenue with Main.
The engine is doing frst-class work, and
when down to business can soak out a
fire in short order.
