unknown origin about 9 o'clock on last Sun

and lot of tools. 1t was insured in the Bal
timore County Company for small sum.
The alarm was sounded at Q o'clock, and at
the NJ. p. Church, which was crowded,
panic was imminent. Men, women and chill
dren rushed for the doors, but cooler heads
calmed the fears of the congregation and
order was restored.

To the Webster Literary Society fell the
honor of introducing the series of anniversa-
ries for this scholastic year at Western Mary
land College. On Thursday evening this
Society appeared on the Smith Hall stage
before a large and appreciative audience.
The program, comprising only these four
items, PRESIDENT address, Grafton, farce and
drama, pleasantly and indeed very entertain
ingly filled up the time.
G. b. Hadley, of Lagrange, N. C., delv-
cred the address, and J. S. Williams, of Gen
eva. N. c., the Grafton. The subject Of the
latter was sour Youth as the Hope of the
Nation Both speakers We're heard with
great attention, and received in appreciation
of their efforts Il round of applause. The
farce, entitled "a Close Shave kept the
audience conyulsed from the rising to the fall
of the curtain. The drama was the feature of
the evening. "Ingomar" is well known and
always well received, especially when played
so well as it was on this occasion. A. S.
Crockett, of Solomon 5, Md; T. NJ. Johnson,
of Curtis Mills, N. c., and l.. N. Wheaton,
of Chincoteague, Va, were remarkable for
the amateur stage. The minor parts by j. f..
Smith, of West Virginia; W. Ii. Litsinger, of
Vienna, Nd; G. j. Parke, of Westminster,
and II. L. Gilbert, of Walkersville, were all
good. Miss Georgia Franklin, of Westmin-
ster, made charming Parthenia, and Miss
Mary B. Shellman, although she has always
done so well IN ,;aE numerous roles she has
so kindly sustained for the s5Cc!et. $; rs n
did better than as Actea. The Westminster
Orchestra enlivened all the intcrims with good
music.

GTATEMENT OF RECEIPTS
- AND DISBURSEMENT
For Public School Purposes for the Last
School Year.
To the Honorable the Board of County School

| To the Honorable the Board of County School
Commissioners of Carroll county:
submit herewith, in accordance with the
requirements Of law, statement of the re-
ceipts and disbursements for public school
purposes during the last school year.
Exclusive of the balance on hand at the
beginning of the year, the money borrowed
temporarily from time to time, and several
sums from unusual sources, the total receipts
were SIG, ,G41.55. Exclusive of the balance
on hand at the close of the year and the tenn
porary loans repaid, the total expenditures
were $50, ,G57. .01, an excess of ordinary eX-
penses over ordinary receipts of S6,Ol5.4G.
We were enabled to meet this excess by the
several sums from unusual sources mentioned
above, viz: 81, 200, twenty years accumua-
| ton of portion of the county academic fund
in the state treasury; 81 900, balance due from
the County Commissioners on the special
term of school in the spring of 1888; 81 500
advanced by the County Commissioners of the
| levy for the current year, and 81, 900 building
fund, also belonging to the current year, but
used TO pay bills already accrued.
The ordinary cost Of three terms OF schools
with necessary building, repairing and fur
nishing, i'll year, can never fall much below
the sum reached last year. The number of
pupils increases constantly at an average Of
over 100 year. Last year the number was
1886, an increase of III over the preceding
year, and of 615 over 1884. The school ex-
penses must necessarily increase in proportion.
The ordinary revenue, under existing con.
ditions, cannot materially increase. The ex
traordinary resources, happily available for
last year, are of course exhausted. Unless
additional provision be made by the County
Commissioners for the current annual eX
| penses we shall be compelled TO choose be-
tween increasing our permanent debt and
shortening the term Of school.
The building of necessary new schoolhouses
is no longer matter of serious difficulty.
There are still some twelve or fifteen required,
but they are not all needed now, and can be
built as they are needed without hardship or
serious embarrassment. 1t is the ordinary
annual expense that our revenue is inadequate
to meet, and for which additional provision
must be made.
To increase our debt is seemingly imprac-
ticabe at this time. Neither the banks nor
! private persons appear to have money to loan.
But, if this were not so, it would be unwise
for us to be adding annually to a debt which
is already burdensome, and which it would
! soon be impossible for us to pay.
To shorten the term of school would entail
upon us the loss of the March apportionment
of public school fluids from the state-neary
S4,000-and subject our teachers to an inius.
tice which would not be attempted in any
other branch of the public service, and which
would probably drive many of the best of them
out of the county to seek employment else
where, TO say nothing of the great loss and
detriment to the schools.

And Throwing Out His Bile at the
PeOple

The Editor of the Freie Presse feels very
bad over the defeat of the proposition by
the people to BUY the water works, latter
publishing the remarks of Col. Breckenridge,
which no sensible citizen will feel offended
att he belches forth from his mammoth,
The following is the translation from his
'pi" box of october End:
THE WATER WORKS ONCE MORE.
One party concerned in the water works
has spoken a majority of citizens have de-
clared against the purchase of the same by
the city.
Now let us hear what the other side has to
say. Col. Breckenridge returned last night
from q trip north and was met by an inter
viewer of the Express" Col. Breckenridge
said he was not in condition to be interviewed
at length, but to give you any idea OF my
feelings about the result you can read a
copy of a telegram which sent to my sister
las night:
Il congratulate you; our home is saved US =
Continuing, he said: II have all reason to
be pleased with the result and the vote
shows that the citizens are equally well salts
fed with their defeat. My friends "the oppo-
sition" deserve my thanks, while the city
has missed fine chance to acquire the water
| value, than l had asked, yet beyond doubt
1 that ii was not of that value and the citizens
| done me an immense favor by voting a,
| dictated by their conscience"
| According to this there seems to be entire
| satisfaction as to the result of the election.
| Actually dspeased are only a few sus
picious and slanderous people who woulC
| fling dirt and mud. Capable OF every Low
| down action, they do not understand how an.
one can have honorable and honest opinions
