Legislative Notes,

In the House of Delegates on Tuesday Mr..
White presented Il petition OF citizens of Cecil
county asking the passage of an act abolish
ing pound net fishing in the Chesapeake Bay
and North East river.
The bill appropriatin; $4,000 annually for
geological survey of the State OF Mary
land passed the House of Delegates on Tues
day. There was much discussion on the bill 4,
many Directing to the amount named and al
so to the fact that it was to be an annual ap-
preparation. This latter point was espec-
tally dwelt upon in the debate There is
a strong inclination to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed and to defeat it.
Those who want it reconsidered say they
voted for it under d misrepresentation and did
not understand that it was to be an annual
appropriation, but supposed that $4,000 was
all that was to be appended.

WICkES' AND BRYAN'S
TERMS EXTENDED.

The terms Of Judges Wickes and Bryan
have been extended by an almost unani-
nous vote of the House of Delegates. The
WING shares the sentiment of Delegate
Bankard, who in voting for the resolution
of extension, said she took more pride in
this vote than in any other cast in the
House, because he wanted the world to
know, that Republican House had risen
above partzanship, and extended the
terms of Democratic judges" This vote
of extension shows, how baseless were the
charges, recently made by Democratic
papers that "deal'' was involved in this
transaction.

EXTEND THE TELEPHONE SYS-
TEN.

1t is a fact that Cecil county has good
telephone system, yet it could be greatly
improved and extended with but little cost
AS it is, there is no connection with Rising
Sun, Port Deposit or Perryville, although
unused lines are now standing awaiting a
little cooperation on the part Of the cti-
zens of these towns and of the upper sec
tions of the county. A'line already extends
from Leslie to Rising Sun, but is discon-
nected because OF there being no subscribers
in Rising Sun. Port Deposit and Perryville
other towns OF the county at trifling
expense, as the remains of line are there
but the subscribers are not
A representative of the company stated
to a representative of the WING, that if
800 year were guaranteed the company
in Port Deposit and Rising Sun each, the
lines would he connected and maintained.
and it is to be hoped, that this little enter
prise will be pushed by the company and
backed by the citizens of these respective
towns
A system like this would be of great
benefit to every business in the county,
and great convenience to the public,
To its limited number of subscribers, the
company is giving tirst-class service, and
its efforts should meet with more apprecia-
ton at the hands of the public.

FATE seems to be against the Democratic
party in the Senate of Maryland, death
having robbed it of another member in the
person of Senator John j. Bond of Calvert
county.
The death Of Senator Bond leaves thirteen
Democratic Senators, neither side having IA
constitutional majority, a condition which
will probably remain unchanged until the
end of the session.

ELKTON, Md, FEBRUARY d, 1896.

THE bill providing for a geological sur
vey of the State passed the lower house of
the Legislature on Tuesday. The oh
jects of the bill are to he commended,
since the work is to he done under the
direction of competent officers of Johns
Hopkins University. Why an annual ap.
preparation of So 600 is needed, is not how
ever apparent. As the bill stands, this
featue may prevent its becoming law.

that the institution had been closed I'm.
mediately came the shocking news that
George j. Marsh, for more than quarter
of u century the trusted treasurer of the
bank, as well as treasurer and trustee for
numerous large corporations and estates,
had shot himself Mt his summer home at

The bank officials state that after hur-
ried examination no shortage could be
found in Mr.. Marsh's accounts with the
institution, although the securities of tho
bank In Boston have not been examined.
The trustees of the Gilbert hospital Cor
poration, however. have different story
to tell In appears from their statement
that three months ago the trustees dis
covered Mr.. Marsh was insolvent, had
been spoculating heavily and had lost con-
siderable money. They called on him to
produce the securities of the corporation
and Yesterday was set as the tinle when
they should be turned over.
The trustees of tho corporation are also
directors of the bank, and tho first init
nation they had of any wrong was Il noto
which Vice President Cunningham re-
ceiycd from Mr.. Marsh which stated that
his (Mar.h's) dead body would be found
IN the cellar of his summer home at An

Two messengers were at once dispatched
to Annisuuam, six miles distant, and
when they arrived at the house, Mr..
Marsh was heard walking about room

TEMPLE CUP SERIES ENDED.
Baltimore Wins Four Consecutive Games
and Keeps the Trophy.

CLEVELAND, Oct 9.-The final game Of
The Temple cup series was as hard fought
contest rs was ever played on any dia-
mond, despite the fact that the score was
not rs close as it might have been. That
Baltimore got so much the better of the
run making was entirely due to the fact
that Corbett's pitching was too much for
Cleveland, for in fielding the game was
magnificent on both sides and honors were
easy. Cuppy pitched strong game, but
toward the end hits were punched on him
and Baltimore earned the victory we'll.
Up to tho seventh inning hits were scarce
and scattereh, but then two bagger, fol.
lowed by a single and Clevslands only
error, gave two runs to Baltimore. There
was no quitting, however, and the runs in
the eighth were earned by hard batting
The game was full Of ginger and there
was considerable wrangling, every point
being fought out to a finish Emslie and
Sheridan did excellent work, however,
only one decision being questioned, that
when Childs was called out stealing sec.
ond in the fifth.
Corbett not only held the Spiders down
to four singles, but he struck out six men.
and was so steady that in his only bad
box he got away from trouble after men
were on second and third, with nobody
out. This was in the fifth and was the
only time Cleveland threatened to score.
