accustomed to. ''What does you do wild dis?''
they asked when handed the folded ballot. II
don't know what you does wild dis any how"

at the residence of Major William 2. Trimble,
near Edgewood, where the girl was employed

that if she did not marry him he would kill
her. Last Friday night he came again to
Major Trimbles kitchen and renewed the sub
ject. Waters and the girl stepped outside of
the door and the girls mother followed. Wat
ers asked the girl If she would go with him and
be married. She replied mo" The mother
added 'sIf she don't want to go with you
tonight she shan't." Waters put his hand
in his hip-pocket and drew pistol, saying,
'sYou know l said l would kill you If you
didn't marry me-" The girl, who was six or
eight feet from the door, turned and ran to-
wards the kitchen, followed by Waters As
she passed her mother, who was standing just
outside the door, Waters reached around the
latter and fired at the girl as she WAS entering
the door, the ball striking her IN the back.
She ran through the kitchen and into the din
ing-room. where Major and Mrs. Trimble had
just finished supper, where falling to the floor
she exclaimed, II am shot,
DR.. Oppermann was sent for Immediately and
probed the wound but could not find the ball.
The next day DR.. E. Hall Richardson Of w.
was called in consultation but the girl was
dead before he arrived, death having occurred
at o'clock in the evening. Drs. Richardson
and Oppermann made pOstmortem exami-
nation and found that the bullet, a 4+calibre
one, had penetrated the abdominal cavity and
passed nearly through the girls body.

mann, Dr. E. Hall Richardson, Moses Gaunt,

The Dodson Damage Suit.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Judges Waters and Burke sat on Thursday
of last week at Towson to try the case of the
State, use of Jemima Dodson and others,
against the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad,
an action for damages brought by the widow
killed in the accident at the Overshot trestle,
Hartford county, in April, 1891. The counsel
for the defendant filed petition asking for a
removal of the case to the Circuit Court of
the United States for the district of Maryland
on the ground that the defendant could not
have a fair trial in the State court, on account
of prejudice and local influence. The court
dismissed the petition, the case having already
been removed to the court at Towson on de-
fendant's petition. The defense then demur-
red to plaintiffs declaration and the court
sustained the demurrer. Leave was granted
the plaintiff to amend the declaration and
the case was continued to the December term

MADONNA, Nov. THE teacher and pupils
of Madonna school held fair and festival in
the school house, on the evenings of the 4th
and 9Th inst, which proved to be quite an en-
joyable affair, Judging from the large attend
ance each evening. A table, extending almost
the eutire length of the room, was filed
almost to overfowing with useful and fancy
articles, which was presided over by Misses
Julia Turner, Stella Meads and Marian Ander
son, who did their utmost to entice purchas-
ers, while Misses Jennie Rutledge and Matte
Anderson dispensed candy, caramels, etc, in
endless variety. A table which furnished cake
and peanuts to the small boy and girl, as well
as those of larger growth, was to be found
also, at which Emma Rutledge, Cora Garrett
and Emma lehman were the willing rccip
tents of the fayors shown them. After taking
4 survey of the surroundings, and making
such purchases as our pocket-book would al
low, we moved toward the door, when the
shril cry of ''ice cream" arrested our atten-
ton, and there, in one corner of the room,
was Mr.. R. Spencer serving his delicious
cream to the passers-by. We passed out, think
ing we had taken in everything of in terest,
when last, but not least, we were met, almost
at the threshold, with ''Will you have oys-
ters?'' which were being served in most excel
lent style by Mr. lehman and his willing as
sistants Much credit is due the teacher,
Miss Maggie Keen, and all who so nObly as
sisted her, as well as to the patrons and friends
of the school in bringing to a successful issue
the first fair and festival held at Madonna
school. Total receipts, $103

way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-

famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets nflam-

hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYsTEM.--The
Australian system of voting was tried in Har-
ford county for the first time on Tuesday
last. While it is condemned by few persons
who object to changes of any kind in the ac-
customed way of doing things, it has met
with general approval. 1t has been found
that contrary to expectation votes can be tax
en- about as rapidly by this system as by the
old one. 1t has an advantage, too, In the fact
that the voter is subjected to no surveillance
in casting his ballot, and the power of money
in corrupting voters is thereby greatly lessen
ed. twas remarked at nearly all of the pre-
cints that the colored man and brother had been
better drilled in the use of the new form of
ballot than many white persons, the instruct
lions to them, it is said, being to PUT your
mark opposite Lincoln's nose" They marked
their tickets generally without the assistance
from the poll clerks.
The chief objection to the system in tho
counties is its expense as compared with the
system which 1t has displaced, but II it guar
antees free and fair elections the expense
should not be considered.
