The County Debt.

Col. Isaac D. Davis clerk to the
county commissioners has prepared
statement showing the total esti-
mated debt of the county at the end
of the fiscal year to be $76,605 95.
The late boards statement showed
the debt to be 500, 083 70. Ten thous-
and dollars of the difference is an es-
timated farther deficiency in the levy
and the rest is divided between
claims payable from the next levy
and doubtful assets. Col. Davis
suggests that the debt be funded and
that the authority of the Legislature
be asked to negotiate the needed
amount of county bonds bearing a
low rate of interest, with some time
to run. He states that if an amount
lis levied next year sufficient to COW
err the legitimate expenses of the
county, and also to pay the $4,000
of floating deficiency, the tax rate
must be increased from 80 to 81
cents for county purposes; whereas
if the necessary legislation is pro-
cured to enable the commissioners to
fund an amount sufficient to pay the
floating deficiency the tax rate could
be reduced to 10 cents for county
purposes.

Court Proceedings.

The Circuit Court for this county
resumed business after its holiday
vacation on Thursday of last week
when the Singerly case was taken up.
Mr.. Singerly has been sued by J. c.
Davis. small property owner Lying
near Singerly's pulp mills in Elkton.
The complainant alleges that the
defendants factory or The foul gases
emanating from the work Injuries his
property to the amount of $4,000,
also that the health of himself and
family has been injured by the stencil
from the mills, which has made his
residence untenable.
Ex.Sheriff Smith, Richard G..
Reese. John Partridge. Henry Wood
and Eliza Anderson have all testified
to the noisome smells which peryade
the air at times and which they sup
pose come from the pulp mill. Mr..
Reese testified on ross.examination
that, Notwithstanding the effiuvia
from the pulp mill. he considered
Davis property much more valuable
in the market than before the mill
was constructed. Eliza Anderson
domestic employed in the family
of Reuben E. lamar whose premises
adjoin those of Davis, testified that
at times certain sooty deposits in.
|jured the clothing which had been
laundried, and that she was sure the
deposits came from the pulp mill and
not from SCOTS fertilizer works
where it had developed in the course
of the trial that the defence endeav-
ored to locate it.
The plaintiff rested his case Friday
afternoon and the defendant called
as his first witness Conard Simper,
Chief Chemist of the Gray's Ferry
Chemical works who testified, as an
expert. very positively that the re-
suits testified to could not have come
from the escaped vapors of the pulp
mill. He testified with equal pos
itiveness that just such effects might
be expected from the escape of
Hydro Fluori Silicon, which is a
necessary result of the action Of Sui
phuric Acid on South Carolina rock.
Professor Simper was cross-examine1
by Hon. Alexander Evans. The
counsel for the plaintiff were Alexan.

graduated thelmembers on their ex-
emption of loss of property during
the year by thieves, and tue treasurer
reported amount of funds on hand
at the close of the year 1887 to be

The subject which engaged the

Wants 1t All.

A test case of interest throughout the
state was submitted on Wednesday to
the judges of the court by written state
ments of counsel. The case is that of
State IF Maryland VS.. James A. Davis.
Clerk of the Circuit Court for Cecil Co.
The suit was docketed in order to get a
ruling of the court on the question. Mr..
Davis, with six or eight other clerks of
the courts in various counties of the
State believe that the entire fee of ST.
for marriage license belongs to the
clerk. Under the old marriage license
law which was repealed by act of legis-
lature when the present one was enact
ed in 1885. the cost of a marriage Ii
cense was $3.50, of which amount the
clerk received fifty cents for issuing
the same. The State officers claim that
the clerk should receive the same und-
er the new law and turn the fifty cents
into the State treasury. The State
claims that Mr.. Davis to date owes
$l44.50 in this way.
The act of 1886 states that the clerk
shall be paid 81, and does not say he
shall turn any of the amount into the
treasury. The duties of the clerk in
connection with issuing marriage H.
censes under the new law are much
greater than under the old, and also
require the purchase of special books
for the purpose. Judge Wicks stated
that the clerk of the Kent County
Court Kept fifty cents of the amount
and handed the other fifty cents to the
State officers, less his commission. The
clerks of the courts throughout the
State desire the matter to be passed up
on. The court held the matter under
advisement. 1t is believed that what
ever way the case is decided in the low.
er court 1t will be taken to the Court
of Appeals for final decision.
