The main object Of the association is to
protect the property of its members by put
ting a stop to the illegal traffic in marked
bottles. and the object of this convention Is
to impress upon Congress the importance
of legislation upon the subject The COM
ing convention will also be called upon to
adopt a uniform scale of prices for ex-
change bottles between the various states,
as well as providing ways and means for
the prevention Of the illegal interstate
traffic in registered bottles, and the enact
ment of a law by Congress to that effect.
The number of bottles stolen annually
from the bottling establishments through
out the country reaches beyond the million
mark and IL is estimated that in Maryland
alone 81, 900 worth of bottles are yearly lost
or stolen. An idea of the magnitude of the
industry may be gained from this, and the
importance of some legislation on the sub
ject is apparent.
At present the competition Is so great
that the bottlers seldom complain If In
gathering the empty bottles, one or two
are missing. Nor is this all. Some unprin-
cipled dealers, IL is asserted, make II a
practice to hold over several bottles each
day, and then ship them south or sell them
in this city, where the traffic Is large and
there is no law upon the subject. In some
states the law authorizes the owner to have
tie with the words This bottle is never
sold" The penalty for an illegal use OF
these bottles is SO cents for each bottle. As
long, however, as the law Is not universal
the desired object OF the association will
not be realized. 1t was this continued loss
of bottles that induced the bottlers to or
ganize In order to protect their interests.

Charged With murder.


The unexpected death at the aims house
yesterday afternoon of Ed. Meade caused
a change in the charge of assault which
had been made against Clarence Roane and
the wife of Meade into a charge of murder.
The parties belong to that lower strata of
life which seems to have escaped civiiza-
ton. They dwelt in a suburb of the town
known as Petersburg. On Thursday night
Meade was brought to the station house
covered with blood and with several bad
wounds in his head. but DIR. Guick, who
examined him, found that the skull had
not been fractured, and did not think the
injuries fatal. On Meades statement that
his wife, Virginia Meade. had carried him
out in order to mee- the colored man
Roane, who beat him severely, Roane and
Mrs. Meade were arrested Yesterday morn
Ing. Meade, who was still suffering from
loss of blood, testified before the mayor
against his assailant, and Roane and Mrs.
Meade were committed to jail for the grand
jury. Ed. Meade was carried to the aims
house, where he seemed in the afternoon
to become weaker and to the surprise OF
every one died Coroner Purvis held an in
quest at Demaines on King street this
morning, and the jury returned verdict
attributing the death Of Meade to Clar-
ence Roane The mayor this afternoon
held beth Roane ard Mrs. Meade for the
grand jury.
A Smallpox Scare.
Yesterday afternoon the bark Sprngland.
which was flying a yellow flag. came up the
river under tow of a tug and dropped an
Choir off the foot of Queen street. At once
the rumor spread that the vessel was in
fected with smallpox and there was con-
siderable CONSERVATION. Mayor Strauss
sent Lieut.. Smith and Superintendent Doble
to make visit to the tug, which lay at
the wharf, and afterwards Health Officer
Purvis examined the matter. Ii was as
certained that the bark came from Trinidad
with a cargo Of asphalt for Georgetown
and that during the voyage the captain.
who had the dropsy. sickened and died.
and afterwards the mate. who was addicted
to the use Of liquor, died suddenly. The

one who will start on Monday for the
worlds fair. OF course these latter are
patients who can absolutely be relied upon.
The vast majority, of course. go about
under escort, and the convict insane are
kept separate from the rest, and take their
air in an inclosed yard.
NO patient is compelled to work. but DR..
Godding encourages them in every possible
way when they desire to employ them
selves AS little restraint as possible is
used. OF course. some at times is abso-
lutely necessary, but we have not a patient
here who is always under restraint. Just
as soon as their rage abates sufficiently to
make it safe. the restraint is removed"
Every ward in the hospital is provided
with a fire escape and fire apparatus, and
there is an organized and efficient fire COM
pany composed of the attendants. Spotless
cleanliness is a characteristic of every
thing in and around the buildings. The
dining rooms present a bright cheerful
appearance, and the meals furnished the
inmates are of a most substantial order.
A great deal of soup is served. This with
meat beans and other vegetables, plain
bread ginger bread and coffee make a
common bill of fare for dinner. Not so

Pierson Talley has one OF The most
productive little farms on the road
leading from the Line house to the
old Kennett road. thnt can DO found
In Chrlstiana Hundred. It contains
about 35.acres. but II yields more than
some OF 100 acres in the vicinity. This
year he had more corn on acres. than
his neighbor had on 10; he had hay to
sell, although hsY keeps horses and Q
cows, while his potato crop for an off
year turned out largely, and the
tubers being not only large. but OF
good quality. John Pyle. grocer at

Mrs. Mary " Simmons. who died at
her home, No. 1915 Davis street, last
Thursday, WINS buried Saturday after
noon. Interment was made in the
Lombardy Cemetery.
Mrs. Simmons death was caused by
the overtaking OF medicine prescribed
by DIR. Joseph p. Pyle, the patient
having suffered from a temporary
mental arrangement, characterized by
lapse OF memory and insomnia. The
directions were plainly written on the
bottle and the contents were harmless
III taken accordingly. Tie duse was
taken Wednesday night, and when
lMre. simmons arose Thursday morn
ing she was seized with vomiting
,spsll, which ended In death.
An Investigation was made and 1t
was found that the medicine bottle
which had contained nearly 30 doses
the night before, was almost entirely
empty. and as no one could account
for Its disappearance. there Is 10 doubt
but that che drank 1t. Or. Pyle gave
a certificate of death from accidental
poisoning. Deputy Coroner Palmer
will take no action in the case.
