Tuberculous Legislation.

Mr.. Editor How much happier the
American people would be if all our laws,
both local and general, had been budded
on the English law. That is one patrmony
from our ancestors which has always APP
peared to be agreeable to the taste of our
people, but others, such as the "stamp act"
and fine teas, seemed to sour on the Amer.
lean stomach. 1t is right that we should
revere the English law, as it is our mother,
in law, but not our mother.in.law thank
fortune, while no one seems to have any re.
spect for laws OF home manufacture. Our
neighbors across the water accuse us OF
sending them tuberculous cattle, but rest
assured there will be no tubercules on the
laws that they would export to us. OF
course, all home manufactures are protected
otherwise, our assessment law, our local
option law and our many other unentorced
laws, would not, to use the vigorous Ian
guage of our Drusque Hamilton, be "worth
continental d-n." We have had local
option more than ten years and yet lead
ing citizen of Poolesville is known TO have
declared that that ancient town is more
drunken to-day than it was in the "sweet
long ago" Of unprotected whiskey.
Our legislatures have been hammering
out an assessment law for terms innumera-
BILE, and at last they have given us one that
is unconstitutional, just as was the road
working law, the dog tax law, the fishways
law, the seinng law, and every other law
that puts restraint on somebody's actions
Why not, then, let Grandfather Bull send
over batch of local laws? He makes laws
for one fifth of the whole world, and of
course he knows just what we need. Our
people cannot be expected to hang their
temporal hopes on the flimsy legal wire
drawn out by our native lawyers and doc
tors. The first is said to get all the milk
from the legislative. COW, and the other APP
plies plaster to the arm of the law that
makes the taxpayer groan. 1t is true enough
that many OF our laws are very Td,o material
and of course should not be protected, and
yet their non enforcement gives our people
contempt for all law, both just and unjust.
Now, if our lawyers and doctors cannot
be trusted, and our people are opposed to
having Grandfather Bull nosing around
among our lacal laws, why, let "Hram,"
"Plowpenny," or even "Y" apply the leg
islative poultice, and soon our tuberculous
laws will regain their old time health and
vigor.

A Wedding in the WOOds.-A wed.
ding was solemnized under an oak tree in
Howard county Sunday evening The par
ties were Mr.. Walter Dorsey, of Dorsey's
Station, Howard county, and Miss Bessie
M. King, Of Jessup's, Anne Arundel county
They intended to have been married at the
residence of the brides parents, in Anne
Arundel, but "the best laid plans of mice
and men oft gang agee." In this case the
infexible laws of the State of Maryland in
terfered. By mistake of Mr.. Dorsey's best
man, the license was procured in Howard
county, and according to the State law, mo
person within this State shall be Joined in
marriage until license shall have been OBJ.
tanned from the Clerk of the Circuit Court
for the county in which the marriage is to
be performed" When Mr.. Dorsey pre-
sen:ed his license TO Rev John w. Heal,
minister in charge Of st. Mary's Episcopal
Church, Jessup's, Mr. Heal pointed out the
mistake and declined to perform the cere-
mony in Anne Arundel. But love laughs
at difficulties. 1t was decided that the we'd
ding party should cross the county lines
into Howard and the ceremony be perform
ed among the trees. This was consequently
done near Jessup's Station, in Howard
county, under the leaves of spreading oak,
and two loving hearts were made one.

A Driving Accidental dispatch from
Hyattsville, dated the 18th instant, says:
"a runaway accident, which nearly result
ed in the death of three persons, occurred
late Monday evening two miles west of Hy-
attsvile. Mr.. and Mrs. Vented, of Mont
gomery county, with their two year-old
child, Grace, were driving along the road
in the direction of their home, when large
horsefly worried the horse to such an extent
that the animal became manageable. In
a moment the vehicle was being carried
along at a break neck speed Mr.. Vented
lost his balance trying to sieze the reins and
fell between the wheels of the vehicle, where
he lay unconscious after the vehicle passed
over him. Mrs. Vented was terror stricken.
She grabbed the child in her arms and
jumped. Her head struck against a stump
and she, too, was rendered insensible. The
husband regained his senses in a little while
and managed to arouse colored family
who had retired for the night. Mrs Went.
eel soon revived. The infant was not hurt
the slightest The horse stopped of his own
account after running about half a mile and
was recovered. The vehicle was not dam
aged. After fully recovering from the shock
the family got into the vehicle and drove
away"

In Mamoriam.

Died, at his home, in Potomac, this coun-
ty, on May LIST, 1896, James Thomas Hall,
the little son of Soloman and Mary Hall, at
the age of years and months. Just before
the summons came he begged his father and
mother not to cry, it would do no good, and
that he was going to better place.
A rose from the bush is plucked,
But the fragrance fingers still;
A star in the sky is setting,
A shadow mean while begetting,
Yet, it shines beyond the hill
A song birds notes are DYING
Night comes and stops the singing;
Life springs again with the morning light,
A new song is born by the beautiful sight
With sweeter music ringing.
A little boy has fallen asleep,
In childhood's happiest morning;
An angel will the vigil keep,
He'll wake again, though loved ones weep;
When the judgment-day is dawning.
So, "papa and mamma don't you cry,
For il will do no good,
Pm going to a better place" on high,
And you will meet me bye and bye;
In the place where the ange. stood.

b. and o. Management.-The in.
creased earnings Of the B. and o. Railroad
are stated to be about $500 day and 8
creditable showing is expected for April
when the report of earnings and operating
expenses is made for that month. Reports
will be made monthly by Receivers Cowen
and Murray.
In addition to the new equipment Of 1000
freight cars for which contracts have been
closed, the old rolling stock of the road is
being rapidly put in repair. When General
Manager Greene took charge $500 cars were
out OF use owing to lack of repairs. This
number has been reduced to 1880 by in
creased work in the repair shops.
1t is doubtful whether or not the contract
for seventy-five new locomotives will be let
at present. General Manager Greene said
the prices asked were in excess of the
amount allotted, and that the building com.
panies have combined to keep up prices
For this reason it is deemed inadvisable to
enter into the contract at present unless the
bidders consent to a drop in prices.
The road will feel no great lack of motive
power as soon as the present locomotive
equipment is made serviceable. Along with
the disabled cars were over 400 locomotives
out OF repair when the new management
took charge. These are being put in order
as fast as possible.
The building of 1000 coke cars for the b
and o. by the South Baltimore Car Com.
pany will cause the employment of force
of about 700 men when the work is under
way. The contractors for building the new
car equipment are given forty days in which
to assemble their materials and marshal their
working forces. At the end of that time the
actual work of construction will begin. Re-
ceivers Crane and Latrobe, of the South Bal
timore Company, expect to turn out ten or
twelve completed cars day when the work
is in full blast. AS fast as they are com.
pleted the cars will be delivered to the rail-
road cOmDany for use

A New Hog Disease Mr.. VIM. Dor
sey, President of the Agricultural Society,
who owns fine farm near this place, has
for years been troubled with disease among
his hogs which has bafiled the skill of those
supposed to be well versed in such cases.
Having lost number from the malady he
concluded to address Secretary Morton, of
the Agricultural Department, in regard to
the matter, and in answer to his request the
Secretary promptly sent Prof. Dawson, of
the Department of Animal Industry, 10
this place last week, who made an investi.
CATION OF the case. One of the hogs that
mad shown symptoms of the disease was
Killed and the carcass examined, when the
professor pronounced the disease to be tuber.
culosis. He inquired if the hogs had not
originally been procured from dairyman,
and was answered in the affirmative This
disease among swine is of rare occurrence,
but one or two cases ever having been re.
ported, and is supposed to originate from
the hogs having been fed on milk of cattle
that have the disease in their system. Por.
tons of the carcass of the hog was taken to
the Department, and Mr.. Dorsey has since
been informed that the examination thus
far made substantates the first diagnosis of
OF the case. 1t is thought that it will take
about three weeks to definitely determine
the matter. Far in this section take
much interest in the solution of the ques-
ton
