The Law Sustained.-A question re-
garding the constitutionality Of the act of
1890 comforting additional jurisdiction upon
Justices of the Peace was raised in the Cir
cult Court of Washington county last week.
Under the act of 1890 persons taken before
trates are given jurisdiction can do one of
two things-either pray jury trial or sub
init to trial before the justice, from which
there is an appeal. If a trial by jury is de-
manded the case is tried upon appeal with
out an Indictment by the grand jury. The
point raised before the court was that there
could be no appeal from the justice unless
the justice had given the prisoner hearing,
which he does not do when jury trial is
demanded. In that case he simply requires
the prisoner to give bail for his appearance
at court The law was sust aimed by Judge
Hoffman.
Electric Light for RoGkvilie.-The
Mayor and City Council, at their meeting
on Wednesday evening last, decided to
offer the Edison Electric Light Company
the exclusive use of the streets for ten years,
for their legitimate purposes, upon the fol-
lowing terms and conditions:
The plant must be located within the cor
porate limits and be subject to corporate
taxation; must be commenced by Febiu ary
and completed by July l, 1891; the poles
on the main streets to be of iron, and the
remainder of wood, neatly designed and
painted. The town will agree to employ
ten arc lamps with the privilege of a larger
number) of 1900 candle power each, at $2t
per lamp. If the company agree to this
proposition, Rockville will soon be lighted
by electricity.

The state Grange.-.The Maryland
State Grange concluded its labors and ad-
journed on Thursday of last week. The
proceedings of Thursday were chiefly Of o
routine character. Mr.. Jas. Cheston, lecturer
of the local grange for Anne Arundel coun.
ty, delivered an address on general grange
work, contrasting the Oranges future with
that of the Farmers's Alliance A commit.
tee consisting Of J. B. Ager, Of Prince
Georges; Charles X. Hartshorne, of Mont
gomery, and VIM. B. Sands, of Baltimore
county, were appointed to arrange for farmers
Institutes to act in conjunction with the ag-
ricultural experimental station in the State.
A suggestion that grange insurance COM
pany be established in Maryland to be con.
trolled and managed by the State body
brought out much discussion. 1t was stated
that these companies have been successfully
operated in the North and West greatly to
the advantage of grange members In New
YORK alone it is estimated that over $780,
100000 worth of farm property is insured
in the Grange Cooperative Company. J.
Il. Ager and Charles r. Hartshorne were
appointed committee to investigate this
matter and report at the next annual meet
ing. The finance committee and the COM
mittee ON the State grange agency made re-
ports. Both were adopted. The agency
report showed healthy and satisfactory
condition. N. P. Manley, of Cecil county,
was elected treasurer, vice Asa M. Stabler,
who resigned to accept position in the
executive committee. The following reso-
lutions were adopted: "Resolved by the
Maryland State Grange, because of the ar
bitrary rules practiced by our railroad CON-
panies in freight rates, demurrage and other
unfair charges toward the people of the
State, it is the sense of this body that rail
road commission should be established In
this State to protect its citizens from the
onerous and oppressive impositions of these
powerful corporations. Resolved, that the
masters of subordinate oranges throughout
the State are hereby instructed to present to
and urge upon the people of their respective
localities the importance of creating such
by the next Legislature"

say: During the year there have

ration has been made. 80 complete II the

The report further says that the comnis-
sion have returns from registration Offices
which enumerate forty-one male persons
who. IL Is believed, have entered into Ibolyg-
amic relations since the june revision In
1889. The belief Is expressed that only a
SMALL proportion Of polygamist mar
rlages are reported, as many Of the reg
istrars are members OF the Mormon
church. The commission recommends that
its powers be enlarged ~ as Ia enable IL to
issue instructions which shall be binding
upon registrars. IL also recommends the en-
actment OF Law similar to the Idaho test

put an end % the teaching aud practice OF
