The County Commissioners.

Mr.. Shallcross, the president Of the
commissioners Of Kent county" says the
Baltimore Sun, has addressed commu-
nicaiion to EACH Of the county commission.
eys in the state suggesting convention in
Baltimore to consult about proper legisla-
ton rendered necessary by the adoption OF
the fourth amendment 20 the constitution.
This is most timely and important sug-
gestion. The Legislature will be required
TO fix term of Office, and in doing so the
question Of the proper compensation and
number Of commissioners should be con-
sidered. a suggestion has been made that
the number Of commissioners for each coun-
~ be reduced 10 three, and that one Of
these go out Of Office and new one be
elected biennially. The position is an ar
duous and important one, which it is diff
cult to properly fill. There is great re-
luctance TO serve as county commissioner,
and perhaps the Office would be made more
attractive and the services of good men
could be more easily secured by offering a
better compensation. All these things
should be carefully considered in advance
Of the meeting of the Legislature"

DIED.

On Friday, Dec. H. 1891, at the resi-.
dence Of his parents. VERNON, infant
son Joseph and Nellie Payne, aged year
and two months.
Death with his relentless power has Wis
tied our home and taken from the arms OF
those who longed to keep their treasure
this dear little boy, and an empty cradle,
lock of golden hair, fair, bright picture,
and precious memory are all that is left
of the loved form, around which conferred
so many fond hopes.
Little Vernon was bud of great prom
Use, and hearts are almost bursting with
grief at the sad dispensaiion OF Providence,
which so suddenly crushed these hopes
and left an aching void which nothing else
can fill. But circling this tiny grave Is q
halo of light which the Sun of Brightness
placed there when He broke the bands OF
death, and we feel that our loved one Is
safe in the arms of Him who said, "Ofsuch
is the kingdom OF heaven"
Il take these little lambs" said he,
"And lay them on my breast:
Protection they shall find in me,
In me be ever blest.
"Death may the bands OF life unloose,
But can't dissolve my love;
Millions Of infant souls compose
The family above" B.
Died, at Charlotte, North Carolina, on
Dec. 7, 1891, MARGARET L., second
daughter Of J. Gwynn Gardiner, U. s.
Weather Bureau, and l.. G. Gardiner, aged
| years and 5 months.

Alleged kidnapping.

The trial of the action for 5000 damages
against James 8. b. Hammct;, of ST. Mary's
county, Nd, for the alleged kidnapping Of
a colored boy, VIM. L. Scott, was begun
in the Superior Court. Thomas e. Weeks,
counsel for the boy, made his opening
statement, ut the conclusion Of which the
court adjourned until today. Mr.. Weeks
said that in 1894 the boy, who was then
six years old, was attending the public
school on Waesche street. One day, while
flying a kite after school, the boy was ap-
preached by Mr.. Hammett, who engaged
him TO carry basket To Mr.. Hammett's
house. When the 10y arrived at the
house, it is charged, Mr.. Hammett locked
him in a room until the evening. He was
then taken to the steamboat wharf, but as
the vessel had left he was returned TO the
house. The next day, it is alleged, the
boy was put aboard the steamer and taken
TO Mr.. Hammctrs farm, in St. Mary's
county. There he was kept under close
watch for four years, but finally escaped
by bribing the crew of pungy 10 bring
him 10 Baltimore. Walter /. Dawkins,
counsel for Mr.. Hammett, made no open
Ing statement and did not disclose what
the defense would be. The testimony. will
be begun today-.Sun.

vice. The Treasurer is to pay over to the
