New York Evening Post.
The people of Baltimore have decided by
a popular vote to invest s1O00,00O in another
park There no objection to the pur-
pose mainly because the expenditure meant
nothing additional to the city'S taxation.
The property to be purchased is the splen-
did estate of the late John Hopkins, VINO

that lie on the outskirts OF Baitlmore CITY;
With it added, the city of Baltimore viii

it all is that practically it has not ana

find the reason of this viii go back to
1858, when there was bitter contest for
the privilege of running passenger cars
upon the streets of the city.
So acrimonious did the fight become that
several murders took place as results OF
quarrels. At that time Mr. Swami, who
was the political power of his day. began
to agitate the need of a large park. The
poses and advantage was readily taken or
the street railway fight. An ordinance was
passed authorizing the commissioners OF
finance to exact 20 per centum. of the
gross revenue of passenger railway COM

A CONTEST IN SENATE.
Adam Foust VIII Contest the Seat of
j. w. Rinear.

The committee elections in the Senate
will doubt have to settle a contest in
which the contestant is Adam Foust, the
Republican candidate. j. w. Rinear the
Democratic candidate. holds the certificate
as the Senator from the Button district.
His claim is based upon having received
81 plurality, but Senator Boyd chairman of
that committee, says that evidence has been
adduced showing enough Democratic fraud
to reverse the result. In some precincts
objections that were enough to throw out
Republican votes We're not enough to throw
out Democratic votes under the same ruling.
In other precincts ballots more truly hav-
ing a distinguishing mark were admitted
when Democratic and rejected when Re-
publican. 1t is also charged that the law
regulating chaliengers was violated in a
number of instances. and that in some quar-
tiers the challengers acted in the spirit of
mob law.

a special committee to investigate his con-

official is authority for the statement that
his fees amounted to over $250000, instead
of the $4,000 which his report shows. Mr.

liquor, which will abolish wine rooms and
