A Collector Ousted.
TAXES THAT THE LEVY COURT
DID NOT GET.

Duval Gibbs, tax collector for AppO-
quinimink hundred, is short to the
Levy Court, and Thursday at a spe-
ciai meeting of the court ne was re-
moved from his position and McCOmb
Clayton appointed in his place. The
fact of his shortage created much ex-
citement among the courtmen, as al
though Gibbs transactions with that
body have been conducted on a some
what loose plan, it was not known to
what extent his fraudulent operations
had reached.
Gibbs was appointed collector for the
hundred by the Levy Court of 1887.
The taxes for that year were promptly
paid in and he was reappointed. His
bondsmen are Vincent O. Hill, a hotel
keeper at Blackbird, and ]. J. Lock-
wood.
For the taxes Of 1883 Gibbs has not
yet returned a cent to the Levy Court.
The latter did not become suspicious.
They frequently urged the tardy col
lector to settle his accounts, but he
made various excuses, wanting more
time.
On Monday, however, Mr.. Hill de-
cided to investigate and he sent word
to the Levy Court. A special session
was called for Thursday. The matter
was investigated in star chamber-ike
manner, and it was ascertained that
! Gibbs shortage amounts to $4,000. He
has collected that much money from
the people Of the hundred, and as far as
the knowledge of the Levy Court ex-
tends that money has gone into Gibbs
pocket. Many of the taxpayers of the
hundred say that they have paid Gibbs
their taxes for 1888. Gibbs was ap-
pointed collector for this year, aud is
likely that he would have appropriated
considerable more had not Mr.. Hill be-
come alarmed. The collector is bonded
for 500, 900, and his bondsmen will have
to make good the shortage.
The member of the court from APP
qninimink hundred is Joseph Roberts,
and it was on his recommendation that
the court appointed Gibbs Mr.. Rob
erts was at the session of the court
yesterday, but be would state nothing
concerning the matter when asked by
a reporter.
In reply to The question, "DIr. Rob
erts, what is the matter with Gibbs p
the court commission replied: young
man you have asked me straight
question, and l will give you straight
answer: Hang ifI know what is tn,
matter with him." and Mr.. Robert,
walked away.
Gibbs is young farmer of about 81
years old, and is reputed to have beer
leading a fast life. He owns a largt
farm in the hundred and is neigh
Dor of Mr. Roberts.
The court has appointed McCom
Clayton collector and he will collec
the taxes for this year, the duplicate
for that hundred not yet having bee
given to the collectors --Norning NewS

Three Beautiful Waterspouts.

A passenger on the steamer Chop
tank reports that three beautiful water
spouts were seen in the Choptank
river on Tuesday afternoon. The
spouts seemed to be half mile apart,
and moved very swiftly though the
water in the direction Of the bay. They
were all about the same size, and
seemed to emit flashes of fire as they
moved along. The steamer had to be
slowed up in order to avoid a collision
with one Of the spouts. The scence
was truly beautiful and one never
before witnessed in that section Of the
country. The spouts were visible more
than half an hour Captain Wheeler
Of the steamship Joppa reports having
seen large waterspout on the Greai
Choptank river ON Tuesday Afternoon

Harper's Monthly for Jue is before US.
This magazine holds its place among
the best of the land. "Social life IN

trated. There are several other articles
of note in the work that will claim our
earnest attention, and they are well IL
lustrated. For good solid magazine

GEORGE w. CHILDs has written some
very interesting personal "reminiscences
of his eventful live in the June Lippet-
colt. How he made his money, the
business with which he has been CON
nected, the notable people he has met,
and many other matters which the gem
eral public has been wanting to know.
The carly life and experiences Of sue
cessful men is always eagerly read,
and publishers will pay big price for
such matter. This personal history"
will be continued for several months.
THE most remote point reached by
Mr.. George Kennan in his Siberian

from st. Petersburg and about 1000
miles from the Pacific coast: The mar

at these mines will begin in the June
Century and be continued through
several numbers. 1t may be said to
to mark the elimination of Mr.. Ken

the private property of his Majesty the
Tsar, aud are worked for his benefit,
and it is to them that the "Nihilists'

commute a death sentence TO penal
servitude in the mines. Hence au uu-

A Pastors Sudden Death.

The Rev William H. DOwney, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church Of Havre
de Grace, Nd, died suddenly at the
residence of the Rev. James Conway,
Port Deposit, on Tuesday evening, of
heart disease. Mr.. Downey on the
evening of his death went from Havre

who lives about one mile east of that
town, to spend the evening. Mr.. and
Mrs. Conway being away from home
and no one in charge but the hired,
man, Mr.. Downey took seat on the
porch to wait their arrival. He was
suddenly taken i'll and died before med
ical aid could reach him. Mr.. DOwney

A Severe Hail Storm.

A hail storm swept across the lower
part of Caroline County, Md, Tuesday
evening lasting about half an hour.
Many fields of growing wheat were
destroyed entirely, and young peaches
knocked off or otherwise ruined. Grow
ing strawberries, corn crops and hay
crops were devastated and the loss is
great. The shower was about a mile
in width, but the fury of the storm
was confined to a narrow strip. Wheat
fields were almost entirely cut down.
The ground was covered with hail,
some of which remained the next
morning.

Cronin's Body Found.

The dead body of DR.. P. H. Cronin,
who strangely disappeared from his
home in Chicago recently, was found
on Wednesday evening some distance
north of the city in a sewer. A bloody
towel was wrapped around the head.
The rest of the body was stark naked
and wrapped in cotton resembling that
found in the trunk. A Catholic en-
blem, which the doctor always wore
next to his skin, suspended about his
neck, was untouched. On the dead
mans head were a dozen deep cuts
which had severed the scalp and in
dented the skull. 1t is the opinion of
the police that the man was foully mur-
dered, and by some one who could not
bring himself to disturb the Catholic
trinket Much excitement was shown
at detective headquarters when all
the doubts as to the identity of the
body were settled.
On May 4, DR.. Cronin, well known
in Chicago to the Irish sympathizers,
was called from his home at O'Clock
in the evening by stranger in buggy.
He told CrOnin that a man had been
terribly injured, and the doctor at once
got into the buoy, the stranger driving
hurriedly away. CrOnin never returned
The next morning a cheap trunk was
found on the outskirts of the city; near
where the body was afterwards found
The cover of the trunk had been forced
and the interior of it was bespatter-
ed with blood and partially filled with
cotton, which was saturated with
blood. The evidence was that a dead
body had been in the trunk and ther
taken out near where it was found A
bunch of hair resembling Cronin's was
also found in the trunk. The case bids
fair to be the most remarkable in the
criminal annals of Chicago.

Prof. Ely on Socialism.

Prof. Richard T. Ely, of Johns Hop
kins University, delivered a discourse
on Socialism before the guild of the
First NJ. e. Church of Baltimore last
week of which the following is a synop-
sis:
Many persons thought Socialists dan
gerous persons, just as when a boy he
thought Democrats not good people.
He asked his father, and his father as
sured him that there could be good
people even though Democrats. There
are many christian ministers and per-
sons of the highest culture who are So
cialists, who recognize that the present
industrial system of competition is not
the best possible that may be evolved.
There were both good and bad Social
lists. His study of Socialistic statistics
proved it a mistake to ascribe poverty
to strikes and lOckouts and imtemper-
ance; about two per cent only could be
ascribed to such causes. He com
demned the Optimist, as creating more
harm in the world than the pessimists,
as th0y dulled the minds of the people
to facts. 1t was not true that capital
only received ten per cent of profits.
The state should control railroads, tel
ephOnes, electric lights, etc. The post
Office delivers letters and packages far
more expeditiously than the express
corporations, which proved the ability
of government in that line. Govern
ment telegraphs in England carried
some kilograms for One-tenth what they
cost here. Socialists do not want divis-
ion of property, but concentration un-
der government. They like trusts, be-
cause they tended to concentration
Public schools are not socialistic, but
the opposite, as they develop individu
ality. European government mOnop'
olies of railroads, etc, are anti-socialis
tic on general principles. 1t is no
utOpian. Every good thing was a
first called utOpian Christians should
study the good and bad points of social
ism. He advised the reading of Ed
ward Bellamy's Looking Backward,
He said the waste of competition i
enormous, as note the two million dol
lars expended in the Nickle Plat
Railroad which is now absorbed b,
another corporation, the Erie. 0hic'
paralleled it. Socialists claim that h
who will not work should nc
eat, be he rich or poor. He sal
God gave riches to men that migl

Statistics showed that a two-thousan

, fifty-fve cents, in five cities which ha
their own plant, cost on an averag

r an end to rewarding politicians an
5 ofice-seekers by preventing them fro
having power. He closed by sayin
that up to the present time there a.
peared no possibility Of Socialism ev,
succeeding, not even in German
: "What we want is a democracy Of Il

proved to be of more serious nature
than was at first supposed. Much
damage is reported now to the peach
orchards in its course, which was about

Its greatest fury is thought to be at
Church Hill, about two and a hall
miles west of that town, where the
peach orchards of G. G. Van Voorst

injured. It's thought by those who
have investigated that there will moi
