CLARK CASE GOES OVER
1t Would Be Risky for Frank
Turner to Appear.
THE CRAIG CASE TO THE MAY TERM

Argument OF Mechanics Lien In which
the Chief Justice Did Not sit-suit
Against the p, w. q b. Railroad Com
pany Continued.
The Superior Court met at 10 o'clock
this morning. The damage suit of Susan
B. Clark VS.. Joseph l. Carpenter, Jr., in
which she sues for $4,000 for the death
of her husband. was continued to the
May term under peremptory rule for
trial. John Biggs, representing Mrs
Clark, said that he had seen DR.. Draper,
who had informed him that more or less
risk would attend the appearance of
young Frank Turner at this term
The case of Russell Craig's adminis-
TRAITOR vs.. the P w. & B. Railroad Com.
psny was also continued until the May
term.
Ia the case Of Lilburn Chandler and
Levi G Bird, use Of Lilburn Chandler, vs.
William g. Dunseith and wife, suit on a
mortgage, the plaintiffs were allowed to
strike of "use Of Lilburn Chandler. ."
Mayor Austin Harrington appeared
for the defense.
The mechanics lien case Of Perkins,
administrator VS.. Ida Carr Wilson,
owner or reputed owner, wss argued.
The plaintiff was represented by
Judge Ball and f g. Bradford.
George Lodge and Willard Salisbury,
Jr., represented the defendant. Chief
Justice Lore, who was, prior to his ele-
vetion, counsel for Perkins, did not sit
in the case.
Mr. Lodge contended that a mechanics
1fan atatufa muet raceiva a strict con D.
struction. He saw no reason why a
statute Of that kind should not Se CON
strued strictly.
The requirements are set out in II and
the course of those who wish to avail
themselves of It are plainly stated, he
said. "The plaintiff should file a state
ment and bill Of particulars. There can
be no excuse for failure TO do that.
There can be no excuse that the
mechanic is an uhl ettered man, for the
suit is always brought by an attorney.
/ This remedy is a creation Of the statute
and II must be bounded and limited by
the provisions Of the statute. The
| plaintiff has not followed the provisions
Of the statute He must stand or fall by
the statement and bill Of particulars.
The exceptions are TO the bill of particu-
lars.
In conclusion, Mr.. Lodge contended
that there were certain items in the bill
Of particulars which could not be legally
in a mechanics lien and that it vitiated
the entire claim.
This afternoon Judge Ball and Mr.
Bradford brgued against this position
and Mr.. Salisbury closed in support Of
Mr. Lodge.

NEED NOT BECOME PAUPERS.

A Street and Sewer Director Says That
Applicants Are Invariably Accepted
Upon Councilmanio Recommendation.
Colonel Enoch Moore, of the Street and
Sewer Department. was interviewed this
morning about the charge made by a
business man yesterday that idle men
had to become paupers before they could
secure employment on the city's streets
under the new arrangement. The bust.
ness man yesterday explained himself
thus;
Before a man can get work he must 20
10 the Associated Charities aud get an
order. This should be done away with.
An honest man who Is out OF work
should not have his home subjected to
the scrutiny Of an Associated Charities
visiting committee. In order TO get work.
/ think the councilman Of the ward
should pass upon the worthlness Of the
applicant. "
Colonel Moore says that the above
statement is away of and that the "bus.
mess man evidently doesn't know what
he is talking about.
1--WE don't require him to 20 10 the
Associated Charities" says Colonel
Moore. ANY prominent business man a
recommendation has been recognized by
the board, and last Saturday three out OF
every four who secured employment we're
accepted upon recommendations by

YALBOTS PEACH TREES HEWH DOWN.
The Land to Go TO Tomatoes, Vegetables,
Grass and Graln-A Legend Of the
Luscious Peach.

The Land to Go 60 Tomatoes, Vegetables,
Grass and Graln-A Legend Of the
Luscious Peach.
EAsroN, March 6.-About half OF the
peach trees in Talbot county have been
destroyed this year by their owners be-
cause of the uncertain and Improbable
features OF the peach crop in recent
years. Few young trees were planted
last year and fewer will be set out this
year, hard fact for the nurserymen
The land from which the peach trees are
removed will 60 to tomatoes and other
vegetables, grain and grass.
Most products on Talbot soils cease to
crop we'll after certain number of years.
Az the beginning of the century, and for
many ysars before, tobacco was the
staple In Talbot county. Farmers grew
IL year after year until II would grow no
longer. Then they abandoned IL for
wheat and corn, the yield Of which per
acre is increasing up to this time.
Chemists have found how TO put back
through commercial fertilizers tho con-
stituents of the soil those grains ex-
hsust year after year When these ma
nures are not used the yield is less than
IL was City years ago.
There Is an interesting story OF the In
PRODUCTION Of the peach into America
more than two hundred years ago.
About threeImiles. .fromE Easton there is
an estate called Peach Blossom, which is
at the head of a creek Of the same name
Il was the seat Of the historical Robins
family, who came from England and
took that estate when Maryland was
very young
One of the family. Thomas Robins, was
a great traveller, and roamed all over the
accessible regions of the world. In Per-
sia he found the peach, a fruit then un.
known In England and America, and
brought TO Maryland with him some
peach stores. which he planted on the
estate his brother had just settled upon
When the trees blossomed the flowers
were so much admired that the name
Of the estate was changed from Arcadia
to Peach Blossom. II there ever was a
time when this story was not believed 1t
Is so far back in the past as not TO be
located A stone tablet on the Peach
Blossom estate once gave the date of the
planting Of the peach-stones, but 1t has
disappeared in the general wreck and
ruin OF the place, whose glories have de-
parted many, many years ago.

The masked man jumped to his feet
and cried
For Gods sake, don't shoot, mister. u

The horses were all more or less slnged
by the flames. LugRno stood nearest
the burning hay aud his legs were badly
scorohed. The drenching which they
received had more serious results, each
animal contracting a severe cold, the
stallion out OF Arteso being In danger Of
death last night.

stables Of j. Il. Garrett, at Forty.secOnd
and Aspen streets, where they received
the best medical treatment, owing to
which they were In comparatively good
shape yesterday, with the exception OF
the stallion, which had an unusually
high fever, and was still regarded in !
critical condition.
The first evidence OF interest evinced
by the animal was yesterday afternoon,
when be was taken into the open air anc
permitted to eat snow, which seemed 4

three days he has refused ordinary fOoC
and been kept alive upon a diet Of egg
