UNION BRIDGE AGRICULTURAL CLUE.
A Discussion of Road Making and Improve
ment,

The Union Bridge Farmers Club held its
last meeting at the residence of Granville ).
Haines on Saturday morning last The usual
number of members were present and about
half a dozen visitors. In the absence OF
David Rinehart, president, Solomon Shep-
erd was called to the chair. Secretary Daniel
Wolfe read the minutes of the December
meeting. The minutes contained some mis-
apprehension as to the ability of the Demo
cratic party to wisely administer the govern
ment which the verdict of the people in No
vember decreed, and this was answered by
one of the Democratic members, so the irreg-
ularity was evened up.
When the committee on roads was called
upon for report the chairman pro tem., Mr..
Solomon Sheuherd, gave the following facts
respecting the Liberty and Pipe Creek Turn
pike Company:
He said: $50 many people speak of mac.
adamized roads as though the building of
such roads is the only cost, saying nothing
about keeping them in repair. To disabuse
the minds of such people, | have examined
the treasurer's books and learned that on the
ten miles of road embraced in this corpora
ton there were expended in the last four
years 81 AGA, an average OF 81, ll6 per year
for the whole line, or an average OF Sill per
mile The road bed has become very solid
ana requires less repair Indu d newly Gun
structed road. The most of their stone are
put on at the very low rate of 80 cents per
perch, broken and spread, which can only be
done for that price where stones are very
convenient 1t would be safe to say, taking
a whole county worked by the average super
visor, that the stone would cost 81 per perch.
To macadamize road fourteen feet wide
with depth of stone in centre of fourteen
inches, graded down to six inches at the
edges, requires $500 perches of stone per
mile, which at so cents would cost 81, 600, or
| at 81 will cost 81, 500. Frederick county has
about l, 200 miles of county road Independent
| of existing pixies, which, at $4,000 per mile,
will cost So, 900, 900, to which add 100 miles
of corporation pixies, at $4,000, will make a
debt of S., 100000. To issue bonds for this
immense sum of money at per cent, and
keep the roads in repair at the above estimates
wonld produce an annual cost of S303, 900,
which, upon the taxable basis of S25, 000, 900,
would put upon the people Of Frederick coun-
ty the enormous rate of 81 20 on the 500 for
roads alone"
1t was the Judgment of the club that to
macadamize a few of the most important
roads and apply good road -scrapers to the
dirt roads generally would be the extent to
which we can go at present. also that bonds
| might be issued to a limited extent for this
purpose.
Milton F. Haines read from the DEMOCRAT
&c ADVOCATE editorial comments on the late
| convention in Baltimore. Some other papers
were read and the club adjourned to hold its
next meeting at Shepherd Woods.

PROPOSED Pension Legialation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Ihe Democratic
members of the House Subcommittee on
Appropriations, in framing the annual Pen
sion Appropriation bill, have adopted a num-
Der of amendments TO the Dependent and
Disability Pension act passed by the Repnb.
liean Congress in 1890. The principal changes
made are these:
That no widow shall receive pension I'm
der the act of 1890 unless married to the
soldier prior to 1870; that no person shall re
ceive pension under the act Of 1890 unless
disabled in the service from manual labor and
in receipt of an income of less than $500 a
year, and that no non resident of the United
States shall receive pension unless he was
actually disabled in the service, Another
amendment provides for the appointment Of
commission to consider necessary modi6ca-
tons in the pension laws and to report at the
next Congress.
These amendments were adopted by a vote
of TO 2 the Democratic members, Messrs
Mutchler, 0'Neil and Livingston, voting yea,
and the Republicans, Messrs. Grout and Bling
ham, nay. The fight against the amendments
will be carried by the Republican members
into the full committee, which has yet to act
on the bill. If the amendments get out OF the
committee lively fight in the House is GER
tain, as their effect would be TO purge the
pension lists of a number Of persons now on
them.
The bill also does away with pension agen-
cies throughout the country, and provides for
the payment Of pensions by checks directly
from the Treasury Department; abolishes eX.
aminations of applicants by surgeons, and
provides for the appointment of $50 special
examiners to hereafter make examinations.

Why Lord sherbrooke Broke Down.

The late Lord Sherbrooke was an albino, and to this defect in his eye sight painful scene in the house of commons was due just before he be- came peer. He was a speaker of un- usual brilliance and power and came into the house prepared to make a slashing onslaught on the ministry.
 His introductory remarks gave promise of a notable speech, but he had hardly opened fire on the ministry before he was reduced to utter helplessness by the discovery that there was some con fusion in his notes, which owing to his weak sight he could not rectify. A colleague attempted to assist him, but the orator was so unnerved and morti- fled by this accident that he complete ly lost himself. The other members of the house were profoundly touched by the painful breakdown. The death of

DISTRICT COURT.
The City Knocked Out in the
 Tax Cases.
Application for Writ of Habeas Cor pus In Fred Schaeffer's Case
 Heard Today.

The day was taken up yesterday in district court, Judge Sloan presiding, in the consideration of the tax cases of 1890 and 1891. Iu the three sep. arate cases of the Arizona Ma. tionsl bank. M. and Sol Lewis and M. w. Kales and G. w. Hoadley vs. J. W. Blankenship, ex. officio tax collector for the city of Phe- nix, the plaintiffs were granted per petual injunction against the sale of certain property by the defendant, de- clared delinquent.
 In the first case tax had been levied for the years 1890 and 1891 upon the banks surplus, alleged in the assessment to be $30,000. The plaintiff contended that at those times there was no surplus, that the assessment had been made without the knowledge of the plaintiff and that the city was unauthorized to levy upon any of the banks property except the real estate.
 The other two cases were nearly sim liar, except that tax had been levied upon the bank stock of the plaintiffs in contravention with the Uuited States statutes relating to taxation.
 In the cases of 1890 and 1891 motions for new trials were granted and in the cages of 1892 the objectors were sus- tained.
 The diyn.ce case of Mariana Cruz vs. Manuel Cruz was referred to c. h. knapp to hear testimony
 This morning an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Fred schaeffer, the slayer of Jar, Richards, will be heard by JudSe Baker. The purpose of the application IS to secure the prisoners admission to bal and is based on the ground that the evidence on which he is held without bail is insufficient.

AFTER THE FIRE.
The Loss More Extensive Than at
 First Supposed.

The Loss More Extensive Than at
 First Supposed.
 Contrary to what usually happens in such cases the result of Monday night's fire now appears more disastrous than it seemed just after the conflagration was over. Mrs. McVey's loss, on which there turns out to be an insurance of $2,500, is in the neigh borhood of 1000. This does not include some valuable jewelry and $l10 in coin and currency. Some of the melted jewelry and coin was found yesterday in the ruins.
 This, with Limbrock's loss, the de- struction of Mayor Coles building and damage to Fosters and Councils stocks of fruit and confectionery, makes it a $l0,000 fire.
 However serious a fire may be, it is usually attended by ludicrous incidents. While the Williams house flames were burning brightest and threatening the postotlice building, woman went into the sherif's office dragging mail bag which she or someone else had rescued from the postoflice. She said she wanted to leave it where it would be safe till morning, as she couldn't watch it all night.
