For buttons and things.

Fixing his pants.

The Towsontown Railroad Bridge.-The
knotty question of building bridge for the use
of the Maryland Central Railroad over the
turnpike in Towsontown has not yet been def
nitely settled. On Saturday last Judge Fowler
received a letter from Mr.. William Gilmor, re-
ceiver of the road, in which he said he had
hoped that the agreement made in 1879, for a
crossing at Towsontown could be modified with
out injury to the turnpike company and with
benefit to the public. He had asked Mr.. Tag
art, president of the turnpike company, to call
a meeting of the board of directors that he
might explain the plan for the bridge. Mr..
Gilmor submits letter of Mr.. Tagart on the
subject and writes that if he persists i'll this
unWise, unnecessary and stubborn course, L
will if required, to crafty this unreasonable
single span provision, be compelled to erect a
structure at that point that will be great eye
sore to every one, and will not serve the driving
public as will the structure we are DESTROYS of
constructing"
The point is this The agreement between
the turnpike company and the railroad authOri-
ties was that the bridge over the road in this
place should be single span of about 20 feet,
leaving the pike entirely clear of any obstruc-
ton. Now Mr.. Gilmor wants to build a bridge
supported by two stone piers, with driveways
between. He alleges that this will make a
safer and better bridge, less likely to brighten
horses than the other one but Mr. Tagart does
not see it in this light and his company is dis
posed to hold Mr.. Gilmor to the original agree
ment.

The Remains of Robert Strawbridge.
In an interesting article on "MethOdism in
Hartford" published in the Havre-de- Grace Re
publican, we find the following reference to the
burial place of Robert Strawbridge, pioneer
of Methodism in this country: 'Mr. Straw
bridge, the great pioneer preacher named above,
died at the home of Mr.. Daniel Evans, on a
farm now belonging to Mr.. James Boyce, near
Towsontown, Baltimore county, and was buried
in private cemetery near the family residence.
A few years ago the Methodists determined to
erect monument to his memory in Mt. Olivet
cemetery and to remove his remains there.
The farm above alluded to was then owned by
Mr. Daniel Lee. Some bones, supposed to be
those of Mr.. Strawbridge, were taken up, and
re-interred at Mt Olivet, with imposing cere-
monies. A Miss Wheeler, an aged lady, de-
scendant of the owner of the farm when Mr..
Strawbridge was buried, opposed the removal
of the remains, but could not prevent it. She
was the only one who had definite knowledge
of the exact location of Strawbridge's grave,
and she declined to state where it was. A few
days after the removal of the bones from their
grave as stated above, Miss Wheeler went out
to Mr. Lees and visited the burial lot. She
said the relics taken up, and re-interred at Mt.
Olivet were not those of Mr. Strawbridge-that
the grave opened was not near that where he
was inferred. She went away delighted with
the conviction that the remains of the great
preacher still rested where her ancestors had
laid them away to rest, century before"

Stable on Fire.-About o'clock on Friday
morning 10th inst, a stable ON the property of
the late Samuel Chew, adjoining Towsontown,
under the management Of Mr.. R. l.. de Potes-
tadt, was discovered to be on fire. The horse,
Dynamite" was gotten out with but slight in
jury. The fire was discovered in time to extin-
guish it, and resulted from burning lantern in
the stall-Ma,yland Journal, last aceek.
The above item caused good deal of fun in
Towsontown. The gentleman alluded to drove
his horse here on Friday morning and had the
animals tail very nicely wrapped up to keep it
out of the mud. Some one who noticed the
tail wanted to know what the trouble was with
"Dynamite's' fy-brusher and Mr.. de Potes-
tadt, seeing chance for joke, told the story
about the fire. The next day. when people no.
ticed that the horse was all right, Mr.. de Potes-
tadt explained that he had got hold of some new
kind of hair-restorer that had produced new
growth of hair in a single night.

Woodensburg, 4th District

woodensburg, 4th District.-A protract..
ed meeting has been in progress for several
weeks past at Piney Grove A: NJ. r. Church,
and is largely attended nightly, but although
there has been quite number of mourners,
there have so far been but few conversions.
On last Sunday morning, Rev. John Loggins
preached double funeral sermon in memory
of colored woman and colored man, both
named Diggs, who were buried couple OF
months ago.
The present week has been one of considera-
BILE political excitement in this section. On
last Monday good number OF Republicans OF
the district went to the ratification meeting at
Westminster. The colored Republican club of
Reisterstown, headed by the colored band OF
that place, was particularly noticeable in the
procession, and the notices on their transpa-
rencies attracted universal attention on account
oftheir appropriateness. Although the wealth
er was Indictment and the mud was fully ankle
Deep the enthusiasm of the Republicans ran
high and they enjoyed their ratification as
much as lift had been the pleasantest weather.
On Tuesday night the Glyndon Harrison and
Morton club sent large delegation to attend
the ratification meeting at Hampstead. They
went in large coach, furnished by Goodwin
and Horner, which was drawn by four gray
horses, decorated with small flags, and the
coach was also decorated with flags, notices
and torch-hghts 1t was pronounced the finest
display that was made IN the procession In
addition a large number of persons from there
and elsewhere went up on the cars. The Glyn-
don delegation was to have met delegation
from Arcadia and proceed from there to Hamp-
stead, but were too late, the Arcadia contingent
having gone before they got there. The Tren-
ton Club was also to meet those from Arcadia
at the latter place, but were too late. The dele
CATION from Arcadia was marshalled by Mr..
George Burke and went on horseback, bearing
torches The Trenton Club, which arrived in
Hampstead in time for the procession, was also
on horseback. The Piney Grove colored band
headed the Arcadia delegation.
The parade was grand one, and the utmost
enthusiasm prevailed. The line was fully q
quarter of mile in length, and there were several
bands of music. The house of every Republic
can in the town was illuminated, and as the
procession marched from the one end of it to
the other and returned, rockets, Greek-fire and
other fireworks were constantly let off. After
wards the crowd, as many as could get in, las
sembled at the public hail. Those present to
deliver speeches were Col. Lang, Hon. John E.
Smith, Col. William A. McKellipp and others.
Hampstead, which is but small town, never
experienced such an ovation and such turn
ing upside down before. From the enthusiasm
and the large number of persons who partici-
pated in the demonstrations at Westminster
and Hampstead Mr.. w. NJ. Marine may well
have asked, in his speech at the former, where
the Democratic vote of Carroll county came
from in the late election, for surely everybody
almost must have been Republicans. u.

Crank Geiger'' Operates in the Upper
End.-Last week our correspondent at Brad
shaw, 18th district, gave an extended account
of the operations of fellow calling himself
Frank Geiger who victimized several people in
that section of the county. Last week man
giving the name of Williamson, but answering
exactly to the description given by our cores
pondent of Geiger, made his appearance at Mr..
John McCann's, near Bentley Springs, n. G.. X.
R., and after bargaining with him for his farm
then engaged him to remain on it until spring
and take care of number of horses which he
intended to winter there. Williams also paid
his respects to the people of Rayville. He en-
gagged Squire Mccullough to haul lumber for
some buildings he intended to erect ON the Nc
Cam farm, and also engaged Moses Arnold to
do the carpenter work and George Richards to
do the painting. At Mr.. w. w. Kessler's
store, Rayville he purchased some undercloth-
ing, amounting to $455, and some bacon, forks
and other articles. Inpayment for these he of
fered a check for SIT on the National Bank of
Baltimore. For some reason Mr.. Kessler did
not give him any change and all he got away
with was the underclothing. At Mr.. j. Scott
Prices hotel, Parkton, where he failed to pay
his BILL Williamson left pair of gum boots,
the same pair, no doubt, which he got at the
next station above Bradshaw the week before.
Geiger or Williamson is no doubt an accom-
plished scamp and the people throughout the
country should be on the lookout for him. The
description given of him by our Bradshaw cor
respondent was as follows: He was a short,
stout fellow, with left eye-tooth out, pug-dog
face, big watch chain, Cery well worn clothes
and general untidy makeup"

A Young Mans suicide-shot Himself

A Young Mans Suicide-Shot H1mSelf
in the Head.-On Tuesday evening last the
body of young man was found by a colored
boy living in field on the farm of Mr.. Henry
Kellogg about quarter of mile west of the
railroad station at Lutherville Word was sent
to Towsontown and Justice A. w. Perrie and
Deputy Sheriff Risteau proceeded to the spot,
having first summoned Jury ofinquest. The
body proved to be that of young man named
jeremiah M. Baden, son OF Capt. jeremiah
Baden, of Baltimore. 1t was lying face down.
ward, with the left arm under 1t. DIR. Massen-
burg, who examined it, found wound ON the
right side of the head on a line with the ear,
and about five inches deep. Ut had evidently
been produced by pistol shot but the ball
was not found. After viewing the body and
hearing the testimony of the colored boy the
Jury rendered q verdict of suicide. The body
was removed to the house of a relative in the
neighbOrhOod.
1t was learned afterwards that young Baden,
who was pilot and about 26 years of age, went
out to Lutherville on Monday evening by the
s o'clock train. He was in company with sew
eral friends and told them that he intended to
commit suicide because of some trouble about
a love affair. They thought it was all idle talk
and when the train reached Lutherville Baden
left his friends and started down the track and
nothing more was seen of him until the dis
covery of the body in the field.
Until short time ago the Baden family lived
at Lutherville and the young man was well
known there When the family moved to the
city he accompanied them and what his idea
was for going back there to commit this terrible
deed will never be known. In his pocket was
found a letter from young lady in West Point,
Va, which said that she was i'll and deeply
grieved at the death of her mother.
On Wednesday Messrs. VIM M. Heilig, Jr,
and Frank Weinmaster, while walking in the
field where Baden's body lay, found the pistol
with which he shot himself and also his hat
and umbrella They were lying some distance
from where the body was found.
