"What is That?-It Was the Cat."-A
well-known lady residing in the 18th district
had singular experience few nights ago.
She had been missing many of her chickens,
but could not discover the cause of their disap-
pearance On the night in question she heard
leaving her bed without taking time to dress
herself, rushed down and into the yard to find
a curious looking black animal at the wood
pile with chicken in its mouth. She grabbed
the intruder by the tail and her daughter,
who had followed in scant attire, secured an
axe and between the two they chopped the
animals head off. II turned out to be pole
cat, but strange to say it did not leave the i'm
press of its Misunderstanding it pretty fine
ON either of the ladies' Since this little noe
turnal and breezy picnic the good lady's
chickens have not been disturbed.

Can Whisky in Bonded Warehouses be
"Taxed2-The Towsontown correspondent OF
the Baltimore Sun, writing under date OF ne.
cember 10th, says This is the first year that
distillers have been assessed in Baltimore coun-
ty for the manufactured whisky on hand or
stored in United States bonded warehouses,
and there is a vigorous protest against paying
the tax bills. Although the aggregate assess,
ments upon the distillers for real estate and
whisky in store foot up nearly million dol
lars, no taxes have yet been paid on manu-
featured whisky. The distillers are willing
and ready to pay their taxes on their real estate,
but Mr.. Geo. w. Yellott, Treasurer and Collec-
tor, will not receive and receipt for taxes on
lease the real estate from liability for the pay
ment of the balance of the bills, and he very
much doubts his authority to enter United
States bonded warehouses and levy upon
whisky stored there. Besides, he says, he
would be obliged to levy upon the same barrels
of whisky that had been assessed, and this he
could not do, as he would have no means of
knowing that it was the same whisky, for the
whisky which has been assessed may have
been removed and other barrels put in their
place. The Sherwood Distilling Company paid
its taxes on an assessment of Sal 400, which
the collector received and for which he gave
receipt on account of taxes due. The Sher-
wood Company has been assessed altogether
on $40, $50, the greater part being on whisky
in store. The Melvale Distilling Company has
been assessed upon S172,575s the Stewart Dis
tillery, at Hlghlandtown, upon $4,000, and
other distillercs about $250,O0O To-day Mr..
Robert Stewart, of the Stewart Distillery, was
before the County Commissioners and desired
to pay his taxes upon his real estate, but re-
fused to pay upon his manufactured whisky.
The Treasurer refused to receipt for the real
estate alone, and thus designate for what the
taxes had been paid. Mr.. Stewart claimed
that the whisky was manufactured to order
and did not belong to the dstiller. The owner
lets it remain in the bonded warehouse some
times for long time. The Commissioners
said they would submit the matter to their
counsel to see what could be done. Mr.. Stewart
remarked that he hoped it would be settled
some time, but that when it was it would be
by law. Treasurer Yellott favors friendly
test case being made so as to have the matter
adjusted by the courts"

Tracey was Acquitted.-John Tracey, in
dicted for causing the death of John w. Corne-
Illus, on the property of Mr.. David W. Stevens,
on the Falls road, last September, was acquit-
ted in the Baltimore city Criminal Court on the
5th inst. The evidence showed that the men
had been drinking and that they had quarrel
in the stable. Arthur ]. Andrews an eye wit
ness, said Tracey carried Cornelius out of the
stable, threw him on the ground and then beat
him in the face with his fist. Tracey testified
that Cornelius fell as he was descending the
ladder from the hay loft and struck his head
against feed box. The accused further said
that he attempted to pick Cornelius up and was
called hard name. He persisted in helping
the man, and struck him when Cornelius pick
ed up stone with which to assault him. The
testimony of the doctors showed that Cornelius
had ulcers on his SKULL that he suffered from
an advanced stage of Bright's disease and that
his heart was affected. The doctors would not
say that the blows of Tracey produced death in
view of the condition of the man. The State
claimed verdict of manslaughter.

Suit for Damages for Personal Injuries
There was commenced in the Baltimore
Court of Common Pleas ON Wednesday the
case of Mrs. Anton Herold against the Western
Maryland Railroad Company, for $1,000 dam
ages for injuries sustained by her in jumping
from passenger car, at the Wilson Sanitarium
on April II, 1885. Mrs. Herold had taken a
child, not her own, out to the Sanitarium, and
when it came time to leave she, with others,
boarded the car on the side track, running up
to the institution. Some one started the car and
a small panic ensued as the car ran down the
incline by itself, and she jumped off and broke
her right shoulder and ankle. For the defense
it was stated to be the practice of the company
for the brakemen of the down train to start the
car, which would run down the incline and
by its own momentum up another small in
cline, and without any danger and thus be at
tached to the rear of the regular train ON the
main track that some boy, probably, started
the brake and let the car loose, but still there
was no danger of any accident, and that Mrs.
Herold was told by an employee ofthe Sanitari-
UNI, and warned not to jump off. If she had
remained on the car she would have received
no injury.

Commissioner Magruder Says they are
Making Mountains out of Molehills.-In
an interview with representative of the Balti-
more american few days ago County Com
missioner Magruder had something to say
about the charges made by George G. Hooper,
ofthe Neighborhood Improvement Association,
against his Board.
In reference to the charge that the Board
had illegally given out contracts for repairing
bridges without inviting proposals. Mr. Ma
gruder said that since he went in Office, in De-
cember last, Noah H. Hedricks work did not
exceed $1,000 to date. 1t is the custom to ap-
point local superintendent of bridges. I'm
case heavy rain should wash away or damage
a bridge, and the travelling public would suffer
thereby does anyone suppose that 1t would be
either economic or sensible for the Board to
defer for three or four weeks, and perhaps
longer, the repairing of the bridge by advertis-
ing three weeks for proposals? Of course, not.
"Our counsel have advised us that we have
a right to exercise discretion in the matter.
This discretion has been exercised only in cases
of necessity. Whether Mr.. Todd is interested
in Noah H. Hedrick getting the contracts, l
am unable to say. l believe Mr.. Hedrick is a
straightforward, honorable man, and cannot
see that Mr.. Todd is interested in him, unless
it be to furnish the material for the work.
In reference to the matter of the collection
of the State taxes on stocks and bonds of cor
pOrations incorporated by other states. but
owned by citizens of this State, resident in the
county, Mr.. Magruder said it has not been the
custom of the Board to collect these taxes, but
he was of opinion that the Board ought to col
lect them.
Among other things reported by the Com
mittee on Taxes and Disbursements at the
meeting of the association, on Thursday of last
week, it was stated that Commissioner Magru-
der had presented the county with calf
for which the Commissioners gave Mrs. Ma
gruder a check for $12. Mr. Magruder in
Speaking about the matter said that it was
true that he had made present of the calf to
the county. Subsequently the Commissioners
sent Mrs. Magruder $12 in bills and silver as
payment for the calf, and which he promptly
returned to the Commissioners by check.

Kingsville, 18th District.-Mr. VIM. Card.
well, whose illness was mentioned in the last
issue of THE UNION. died at the residence of his
father, on Wednesday, 4th inst, after being
sick but few days. He was the eldest son OF
Mr.. Francis Cardwell, road supervisor, and was
a very promising young man. His funeral
took place on Saturday and the remains were
inferred at Salem Church. Much sympathy is
expressed for his bereaved parents.

Since the new road law went into effect last
spring it seems that our roads are worse than

Fork to Baldwin Station, M. G. r. R., is in 6
miserable condition. More work and fewer
committees in that locality would be an advan
tage, no doubt. II.

noon. The fire was first discovered under the
kitchen floor and is supposed to have been
becoming ignited The flames spread with
great raPidity and although the neighbors
gathered promptly they were only able to save
a small portion of the household effects. After
the fire had been burning some time word
company responded promptly, but the flames
had gained so much Roadway when the APP
paratus reached the scene that all it could do
was to save other buildings that were near
the box at Govanstown the Towsontown COM
pany could have reached the fire at least half
hour earlier and much valuable property might
have been saved. The loss will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. Only partially covered by
