Personally conducted Tours to
Florida via Pennsylvania
Railroad.

There is no doubt but that every one
has had at some time desire to visit
Florida, the Land of Flowers" and
that many have been deferred from so
doing by the thought of a long and tire
some railroad journey, great expense,
and thousand and one other objec-
lions. These have been overcome by
the Inauguration of the Pennsylvania
Railroad COmpany's personally con-
Quoted tours To jacksonville. A special
train of unexcelled equipment makes
the run from New York to Jacksonville
in thirty hours; tourist agent and
chaperOn accompany each tour to look
after the comfort of passengers while
en- route; and the low rates offered
bring the tours within the means of al
most every one.
The tours, allowing two weeks stay
in Florida, will leave New York and
Philadelphia on February 25and March
3. 1896. The rate, including transport
tatiOn, meals en- route, and Pullman
berth on special train, is $4,000 from
New York and $48.OO from Phila-
delphia; prOportionate rates from other
points.
For further information apply to
Ticket Agents, or address Tourist
Agent, 1896 Broadway, New York, or

delphia, to whom application for space
should also be made.

The protracted meeting now under
way in the United Brethren Church
here continues with undated inter-
est. Sixteen persons so far have
claimed conversions to christianity, IA
of whom having connected themselves
with that church. The great crowd in

important Meeting

The County Commissioners will
meet at their office on Monday, the
10Th ult., for the purpose of hearing
appeals from present assessments, and
as will be seen by the advertisement,
which appears in another column, GER
tain days are appointed for the various
districts of the county. Many of our
citizens are of the opinion that the
transfers made at the office of the
Clerk to the Circuit Court, is all that
is necessary in order to have the prop
erty transferred on the county tax
books, but such is not the CAGE. All
applications for transfers must be made
direct to the Clerk of the County Com
missioners. No abatement will be
made after the 3lst day of March.
Those persons erecting new buildings
or who are adding to or making i'm
provements, are requested to report
the same SO they may be properly
rated. When personal property is dis
posed of at public sale, the sale books
should be sent to the Clerk to the Com
missioners, so that the proper trans
fers can be made.

Grave Charge Against a Well
known Resident of Myersville.

There is quite healthy scandal at
tracing widespread attention in the
vicinity of Myersville, this county,
which, despite the efforts of the party
most concerned. and his relatives and
friends to hush the matter up, may
yet end in trouble. The details of
the crime charged are of such a
heinOus nature that we refrain from
publishing them as well as the name
of the accused party, who is quite well
known there, until more accurate in
formation is obtained. A dispatch to
the Baltimore Herald from Middle
town, says:
cit is said that well-known young
business man of the place, who had
been to a revival service, arrived home
before the meeting was over, and as
he was about to enter his dwelling
man opened ali adjoining door of the
house and dashed out disappearing.
The man was recognized as a we'll
known resident of the village. 1t is
reported that later in the evening the
wife of the young business man made
grave charges against the man whom
her husband saw leaving the house,
and that these charges were of such a
serious character that threats of lynch
ing were INDUCED in, even as late as
Saturday night"

GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
After a Sixteen Days Session They
Ask for Their Discharge.

The following is the report in full Of
the Grand Jury for the February term,
which was in session recently:
To the Honorable Judges of the Circuit
Court of Frederick County, Md.
The Grand Jury for the February
term of this court respectfully submit
the following report:
During the sixteen days we have
been in session, we have examined 235
witnesses, found So presentments and
true bills and dismissed 80 cases.
During the time we were in session
many appeals were received from diff
ferent sections of our county asking an
investigation of various forms of crime
and disorderly conduct, which we felt
it our duty to respond to and investi-
gate by summoning such witnesses as
would place US in possession of the
facts and enable us to present all viO-
lators of the law, who are justly de-
serving of punishment.
A most gratifying feature gathered
from the reports of constables repre-
senting the different districts where
local option exists, Is that good order
generally prevails, and less disOrderly
conduct than previously, when liquors
of all kinds were allowed to be sold.
We have made special effort to bring
to Justice all violatOrs of the liquor law,
where licenses are issued, and the sup
preston of the gaming table wherever
conducted in defiance of the laws of
our land.
We visited the Jail. as required by
law, and found every department un-
der good management. The prisoners
were we'll provided with the necessary
comforts of life and surrounded by an
unusual degree of cleanliness, which
many institutions of the kind are not
likely to enjoy. Total number of pris-
oners, II.
We also paid the customary visit to
Montevue Hospital at our own eX
pense, and were much pleased with
the general management of the insti-
tuition. The recent improvements,
consisting of well.arranged apart
ment under the exclusive charge of
professional nurse, for the treatment of
the better class of patrons, was much
approved of and adds materially to the
character of the institution of which
Frederick County can justly feel proud.
The enlargement of all adjoining build
ing for the confinement and care of
the colored portion of inmates, would,
in our opinion, be of great advantage
to the institution From a prepared
statement we found the total number
of inmates to be 299. White inmates,
81 male and So female; colored inmates,
Al male and 25 female; white children,
uaIes and females; coIored chill
dren, male and one female; tramps,
81 males and female.
Having completed our work, and ex-
tending to the States attorney our
many thanks for the courtesies shown
us, and for the careful manner that has
characterized his work in the interest
of the county, we ask most respect
fully for our discharge.
