ouestions of Residenoe Sin the Court

Questions of Residence in the Court
of Appeals, on Tuesday last, in opinions by
Judge Bryan the court decides that ex-
Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, who was q
candidate for the State Senate at the last
election, and f. M. Cox, editor Of the Port
Tobacco Times and clerk to the committee
on printing of the United States Senate, had
lost their residences in Charles county prior
to the last election by removing to Wash.
ington. The decisions reverse the DEGREES
of the Circuit Court for Charles county and
remands the causes. They are both dissent
ed from by Chief Judge Robinson, who did
not file an opinion, however.
"The question of Mr.. Mudd's residence"
says the court, "must be determined by his
removal to Washington in point of fact, and
made. Mr.. Mudd did not lose the legal pos
session of the house in Charles co unity, but
it is certain he changed his visible dwelling
place and habitation when he occupied the
house in Washington with his family. In
the language of the state, he took up dwell
ing. place or habitation out of the State.
These we're the palpable and unequivocal
facts connected with the departure from
Maryland. The statute allowed him to show
by his own affidavit that he did not intend
to change his legal residence. but that he
had fixed and definite purpose to return
to the State on or before six months proceed
ing the next succeeding election in Novem-
ber' AS he did not make this affidavit the
statutory result must follow, that is to say,
he is conclusively presumed to have lost his
residence and is disqualified as avoter. The
presumption being made conclusive by law,
Of course no evidence can be introduced to
contradict it, The Circuit Court by an
equal division sustained the action of the
registration officers. But it seems to us that
they ought to have reversed it and 10 have
ordered Mr. Mudds name to be stricken
from the registries of voters" The opinion
says, in conclusion, that it has not been ,sug'
gested that the statute referred to is for any
reason invalid, but that its validity was sus.
tanned in four cases in seventy fourth Mary
land.
The case of Mr. Cox, the Court says, de-
ponds upon the same principles, and must
be decided the same way.

More RumOrs of Electric Light
Plants "A report comes from the Great
Falls that large corps of United States en-
gineers were there on Saturday last survey
ing on the Virginia side. 1t is said that
their object was to ascertain what amount
Of the property about the Falls was owned
by the government and what by private
parties.
1t comes, too, from reliable source that
there are TO be active times soon about the
Falls. There is big project on foot, it is
said, in which not only American, but
French and English capital will be inter.
ested.
A plan of gigantic proportions, in which
from $3,000,O00 to $4,O00,000 will be in
volved, is under serious discussion. An
light not only to the cities of Georgetown
and Washington, but to Baltimore, will be
constructed, it is rnmured.
While everything is being done with US
much secrecy rs possible, it has leaked out
that the Benz Butler heirs will not be
workers in the proposed project, those in
terested at present in the Undertaking being
engaged in negotiating for their right and
title.
While it is partly admitted that the gov
eminent has some right TO the power Of the
Great Falls, it is claimed that it is limited
and could not be used for other than gov,
eminent purposes. For instance, If the gov
eminent should establish an electric plant
on the public property near the Falls, none
of the power derived therefrom could b.
used for private purposes. The govern
ment's interest, the Butler heirs say, is strict.
ly local, in other words, can be used only
for the use of the government

A Fox Chase On Saturday, 10th in
stant, according to pre-arrangement,the Buck
Lodge Club and Poolesvile Club of fox
hunters met near Jacksonville, not only to
enjoy chase, but to test the mette of the
dogs, as there had been considerable talk
about the superiority of hounds. There was
some little disappointment as the Barnes
vile Club had promised to be there also,
either to vanquish or be vanqnished, but
failed to come, realizing perhaps in the case
that discretion is the better part of valor,"
In lew minutes, amidst the footing of
horns, accompanied by the music of the
hounds, Reynard was started. There was
not so muchsport IN that, as in short time
he was so vigorously pursued that he soon
sought refuge in his den. But soon another
was started and amidst much excitement
made beautiful run of thirty minutes. The
dogs all seemed to enter the sport with vim,
but it soon became apparent that the laurels
would be won by the noble old world win
ner, Mr.. Jas. p Colts uneqaled fox-speed
dog, Driver. Some think he ought to have
"Victor" added to his name, as he was far
in the lead and followed the fox up to his
den alone In some cases the adage OF
"Honor to whom honor is due" is applicable
to dogs as well. He was acknowledged by
both parties to be entitled to having fairly
won the blue ribbon of victory over all the
hounds running.
The Buck Lodge Club, flushed with their
good luck and confidence in their hounds,
will run any club in either county for
championship OF dogs.
Those participating in the chase were
Buck Lodge Cub-Sam'l p. Young, James
p. Colt, r. S, McAtee and Benjamin Colt.

The residence of MIR. George Mullican, a,
Lay Hill, this county, was last week the
scene of serious shooting accident. While
his son Samuel, aged about sixteen years
was handling shotgun, not supposed to be
loaded, the weapon was discharged, the
load taking effect in the face Of Mr.. John
Knight, who was standing near him, and
inficting dangerous wound. One side OF
his face is badly lacerated and 1t is thought
he will lose the sight of one eye.
Mr.. Sam'l D. Waters, Of Burnt Mills, has
sold to Mr.. W. @. Bonsal, Of Mt Pleasant,
eleven acres of ground containing spacious

Waters will Immediately commence the

which adjoins that sold to Mr.. Bonsal.
Improvements upon the property just pur-
| chased by MIR. Bonsal will be Immediately
commenced, and early in the coming sum-
mer, when his habitation is completed, he
will take up his residence there.
The revival meetings which have been in
progress for the past four weeks, under the
superintendence of the Rev. W. H. Laning
and wife, are still progressing with undated
interest at Odd Fellows Hall, Brookeville.
The Rev. Mr.. Miller, the chairman of their
conference, has been assisting by preaching
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings. AS the quarterly meeting Of the Free
Methodist Church takes place at Alexan-
dria, Va, on Thursday and continues over
Sunday there will be no meetings until next
Monday night, when they will be again re-
sumed. The interest manifested, and the
attendance far exceed any meeting there for
years.
There is strong talk among the coal com
panies of the Cumberland and Georges
Creek districts of reducing the amount now
paid for the mining of coal. The selling
price of the article has been reduced and
the cost of obtaining it must be proportion
ately changed. some of the companies favor
reduction of 90 per cent but the geuer-
atty believe that 10 per cent will put them
where they were before in the matter of
profits. The miners, who receive so cents
per ton for their work, are said to view the
proposed reduction with reason and will
accept it. In one of the companies a reduc,
ton of per cent. has already taken place.
The Consolidation Company, whose inter-
ests on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal are
perhaps the most important OF any, will
probably be one of the first to cut. The
miners year or more ago received 65 cents
per ton for coal mined.
