A little less than one inch of rain fell here
on Tuesday, which has refreshed vegetation
in general.
Henry Kemper has resumed work on his
new house.
Last week, while giancing over the bright
pages OF. the Carroll Record, we noticed in
Harney Items something of the following
nature :-"During the day notes were ex-
changed and in the evening the enemy ad-
vanced and general tongue flashing followed. ?"
The Carroll Record correspondents mind
seemed much puzzled as to the reason why
such things occur now and did not formerly.
He therefore ydmonished the young man to
be careful, that the fault may be his. We
have since heard little more about the trou
BILE. The young mans integrity being at
stake, he at once set out to investigate the
matter. However the yarn seemed very much
tangled and hard to unfold. We suppose
that our young friend was almost forced to
quote the poets saying-"Where ignorance
rules tits folly to be wise.n But being en-
dowed with unhinching perseverance he
pushed matters gallantly along and 10, what a
revelation. Our friend yindicates his iuteg
rity, but where are soms of orr public busi
ness men? Oh, men, bear not falGe witness
against thine neighbor. We would advise
some of our people to scrutinize more care
fully those lonely moon-forsaken places before
detailing matters as causes and effects.

Pension Claim Settled.

From the Baltimore American, July 21.
Special Pension Examiner George D. Sid
man returned yesterday from Westminster,
Nd, where he had made very valuable dis
covery, in the shape of original books and
papers belonging to the Eighth aud Twelfth
Maryland Regiments, and which, in one case
alone, involving claim for pension, will,
probably, save the government some thou
sands Of dollars. Mr.. Sidman was looking
up evidence in the pension case OF Mrs.
Bridget Davis, widow of John Davis, former
ly of Company X, Eighth Maryland Regi-
ment, said to have been accidentally killed
in the line of his duty, in August, 1868, at
Camp Bradford. The claim has been pend
ing since 1873.
Several members of the company had made
affidavit that Davis was shot while on guard,
by the accidental discharge of gun in the
hands of another member of the guard, who
play yfully pointed his gun at Davis. The tes-
timony was very strong, and the pension
with back pay from 1863-would, undoubted-
ly, have been granted, were it not for the dis
covery now made by the special examiner,
and which discovery will as certainly defeat
the claim, as Davis is shown to have been
killed in manner entirely different from
that which his widow claims-and with honest
intent, beyond doubt-and not in the line OF
his duty.
As stated, Davis belonged to Company K
of the Eighth Regiment, and Mr.. Sidman
heard accidentally that Mr.. Francis Shri-
yer, of Westminster, the father of Captain
George w. Shriver, who had been an officer
of both the Eighth and Twelfth Regiments,
had possession of a large number of books
and papers Of both commands Captain
Shriver died in 1870. In looking over the
papers, Mr.. Sidman found the original enlist
ment papers of every member of the Twelfth
Regiment, muster rolls, descriptive lists,
morning report books, order books, &C., some
of both regiments and also an interesting, but
not very valuable document-the election
return of the Twelfth Regiment, in the pres
idential election of November. 1864, in which
soldiers in the field (who were entitled to
vote) were allowed to participate.
Somewhat to his surprise also, he found
a report of the Davis case, in the shape of
the full proceedings of a regimental court of
inquiry, into the manner of Davis death.
The report showed that Davis had left camp
without authority, and the commanding Off
Ger hearing that he was at a tavern on the
Falls road, guard was despatched to arrest
him. He was found in an intoxicated condi-
ton and resisted arrest. In so doing he at
tempted to wrest a gun from one of the
guards, soldier named Edwin Clark, now
living in Annapolis, and in the struggle the
gun was discharged and Davis shot and killed.
The courts finding was upon the facts as
then presented, and exonerated Clark from
all blame.
Examiner Sidman will turn over all the
books and papers recovered to the War De-
partment.

In commenting on the building of the road
from Baltimore to Gettysburg the Hanover
Herald say:
If the proposed electric railroad from Bal
timore through Westminster and Littlestown
to Gettysburg should be built it will be well to
consider the erection of similar road from
Hanover to Littlestown as agtated some time
ago, or the extension of the Hanover and Nc
Sherrystown street railroad to Littlestown.
With connection at Littlestown to Gettys-
burg, Westminster and Baltimore, as well as
points along the road, such a railway would
prove profitable investment.

INTEREST AT TANEYTowN

INTEREST AT TANEYTowN.
The citizens of Taneytowu are very anxi.
Gus to have an electric railroad, and on Fri
day night of last week held public meeting,
presided over by A. H. Zollickoffer, with
Martin Hess secretary. An executive com
mittee was chosen as follows: A. h. Zollic-
koffer, DIR. George T. Motter, Ed. E. Rein
dollar, George Fl. Birnie, DIR. c. W. Weaver,
P. NJ. Weist, of Taneytown; A. j. Lightner
and Judson Hill, Harney; John McFadden,
of Philadelphia, Pa; DR.. ]. j. Weaver, Jr.,
and Ed. o. Gilbert, of Uniontown.
On Monday Messrs. George II. Birnie,
Hezekiah D. Mering and A. b. Zollickoffer
met the Westminster committee and urged
the building of the road from Westminster to
Gettysburg via TaneYtown. Mr.. Birnie, as an
experienced civil engineer, argued that the
line would be easier TO build and that the
travel would be greater, while the distance
would be but two miles further than by Union
Mills, Silver Run and Littlestown. He stated
that, by running the line up the valley of
Meadow Branch, the road would run within
quarter of a mile of Uniontown, half mile
from Frizellburg, through Trevanion, Taney-
town and Harney, and would reach every viii
lage in northwest Carroll, except Mayberry.
The advantages of this route were earnestly
advocatedby Messrs. Mering and Zollickoffer.
The citizens of Westminster would like to
have electric road connection with northwest
Carroll. They realize the advantages that
would accrue from the building of the line so
as to reach all the villages mentioned. Cir
cumstances, however, will likely prevent the
building of the Gettysburg division via Taney-
town. The people on the Union Mills route
believe there will be as much travel by going
straight up the Littlestown pike as via the
Taneytown route, and they say the route is
two to three miles shorter.
If the road is built at all, much outside
assistance will be necessary. Mr.. Hotter, of
the Gettysburg road, has promised to build to
Littlestown, and 10 aid very materially in
extending the line to Union Mills. Below
Westminster, the Baltimore Traction Com
pany and the Pikesyille- -Glyndon Company
have each promised to help the Westminster
people. Gettysburg is the objective point of
these two roads, and they want to reach it by
the nearest route.
Still, road can be run from here to Harney,
or can be run from Taneytown across to con-
meet with the Littlestown route at or near
Union Mills. The latter route would be but
two or three miles longer than the shortets
