Attempted Grave Robbery.-.The

| Attempted Grave RObbery.-.The
Washington Star Of Monday last gives the
following account Of an attempted grave
robbery in this county:
The residents of Montgomery county, near
the District line, are much exercised over an
attempted grave robbery few nights ago In
the cemetery connected with Grace Episco-
pal church. Fortunately the attempt was
unsuccessful, but the fact that the gheuls
have transferred their operations to such
distant point, causes general feeling OF I'M
easiness. Grace church is a prettyt little
structure pleasantly situated in grove OF
fine old trees on the right hand side OF the
7th street road, about pile beyond Sligo.
The interments in the cemetery are not
made very frequently, but about week
ago a Mrs. Smith was buried there, but in
secluded part of the inclosure at some dis
lance from most of the graves. The failure
of the robbers was due to this TACT, for in
their efforts to secure Mrs. Smiths body
they picked out the newest looking grave,
which was that OF Mrs. Padgett, who was
buried over = year ago. The mound had
never been sodded like the others near it,
and the clay top gave 1t fresh appearance.
The robbers dug down to the coffin, and
then broke through the outer box and into
the coffin. The body was in such decom-
posed condition that the ghouls at once de-
sisted and left without any attempt to con-
ceal their depredations.
On Saturday morning DR.. Harding, who
lives quite near the church, discovered that
the robbery had been attempted, and the
neighbors were at once notified. There was
no clue to the depredators except broken
spade, which they had thrown aside when
they had opened the wrong grave They
had also broken into the basement OF the
church, with the expectation OF finding
receiving vault The attempt, it is thought,
was made either Thursday or Friday night.

New RailrOad.-The last issue of the

paragraph by its Dayton, Howard county,
correspondent relative to the extension oil
the Short Line Railroad from Catonsville To
Rockville
The proposed extension of the Short Line
r. r. from Catonsvile to Rockville, has been
discussed with considerable interest in this
section. Many land holders here assert that
If IL should pass through this section, they
will give right of-way through their land
and aid the project in any other manner pos

Howard county is apparent to everyone; 1t
would not only enhance the value of land,
but would enable the farmers to increase the
productiveness of the land at less cost.
Lime could then be brought here for about
3 cents per bushel, while the cost at present
to get it here is about 10 cents per bushe !;
it would save on an average, for every farmer
over two hundred dollars in the marketing
Of produce. Your correspondent has the
