a special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun OF Friday dated at Oakland,
says:
''At the last term of the Circuit
Court, of Garrett county, as was re-
ported in the sun at the time, Mrs.
Emma Cummings, wife OF Charles
Cummings, residing at Friendsville,
Garrett equity, obtained q Judgment
against Walter D. Collier, saloon
keeper of Friendsville, for $400. This
was obtained under a local law of
Garrett county, which provides for
the bringing Of suit by a married
woman against liquor dealer who
has sold liquor to the husband
after notice not to do so. This was
the first case Of the kind that has
been tried in the Garrett county court
and, of course, attracted great deal
of attention. From the evidence adj
duced in the cause it was shown that
Collier had disTegarded the notice
given by Mrs. Cummings and had
continued to sell her husband liquor.
The evidence OF the plaintiff went TO
show that she had been married to
Cummings for at least seven years.
After the verdict for damages had
been returned by The jury, Golfers
counsel Immediately made motion
for a new trial which motion is now
under consideration of the court and
will be finally determined on the 9TH
of November. Since that time Col
lier has been making an active inves-
LEGATION as to the truthfulness of Mrs.
Cummings statement in regard to her
marriage to Charles Cummins, and he
claims to have proof from the license
in Pittsburg that Mrs Cummins was
not married to her present husband

months after she had instituted her
suit

If the man who tried to pick the
lock on the oracle office, on Sunday
night, will kindly call in one day this
week we will be pleased to return him
the knife-blade which we found stick

state here that it was shabby trick
in him to ruin our new spring lock,
and especially when the key was
hanging within three inches of said
lock. Had he just come to the editor
or one of the employees we would
have taken great pleasure in showing
him through the Office If the man
who tried to get in is in better shape
than the oracle we would consider it
great favor if he will kindly pur-

The recent death OF little Leila.
Bunce, pupil of Brian Bend Semi
nary, ought not to be passed over
without a warning concerning the
nature OF typhoid fever. 1t is sad
that, blest as Western Maryland is
with a splendid health-g giving eli
mate. the young and beautiful should
be moved down by a disease which
arises solely from human neglect and
carelessness, and which by timely pre-
caution can be prevented and guarded
against. The two chief causes of
typhoid fever are contaminated
drinking water and impure milk, es-
pecially the latter. The milk supply
needs to be looked after very sharply,
because it happens unfortunately
that some farmers and milkmen are
extremely unclean in their habits.
Cows are often kept in filthy stalls,
and worse still are not washed and
cleaned before milking is begun.
Thus quantity of foul matter having
got into the milk which is afterwards
sold and consumed, the germs or
seeds of typhoid take root in the
human system, flourish, and destroying
hundreds of victims, strong mtSS and
women as well as innocent, tGder
children. Only few days agoIt4 ! q
lessor VIM. 7. Sedgwick, of the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology,
announced as the result of pains
taking investigation of the present
typhoid epidemic in Cambridge,
Ma S., that every case could be traced
directly to the use of impure milk.
During an epidemic in the city Of
Springfield, Mass, this eminent
scientist discovered that a certain
milkman was accustomed to rinse and
keep his cans in a well, the water of
which had been polluted by closet
used by typhoid patients. AS soon
as the practice was stopped, the fever
ceased to rage.
There is no finer food than good
milk, but, when once rendered i'm
pure, it becomes most deadly. The
same may be said of water which
grows dangerous to drink only if the
contents of closets are permitted to
flow into it. A great responsibility,
therefore, rests upon the head of
every family, to take every precau-
ton that the milk and water they
drink shall be fresh and pure. fanny
individual is too careless or obstinate
to do this, the community ought to
adopt stringent sanitary measures,
including rigid and frequent inspec-
ton. Then shall the gaunt spectre
of preventible disease vanish, and
sorrow and weeping shall be turned
into JOY and singing.

CHEAPER TELEPHONES.

The committee of citizens engaged in
securing subscriptions to a new telephone
system here is meeting with much en-
couragement, and there is every reason to
believe that the movement to secure
cheaper phones for the business men
and citizens of Roanoke .gcnerally'swill
be Il complete success. Over one humid
red Subscribers have already been Sc
cured, and the committee is confident of
getting the 400 desired, which will sup
ply Roanoke with a system rs nearly per
feet as could be expected in city of its
population and size. 1t is wei. known to
all who have considered the subject that
the value of telephone at n place of
business or residence consists to a large
extent in the number of its connections,
and that the more phones there are in IL
place the greater the utility of the'sys-
TEN.
The new company will supply the city
with a system at about half the present
rates, and as it is Il home enterprise, in
augurated not as Il profit gathering cor
poration for a few individuals, but as an
institution for the good of the people ssof
the whole city, all who need phones
should subscribe. BY taking one share
ut $40 each subscriber would not only
insure himself share in the divisions of
profits, but would also secure a phone at
his place of business for $24 and one ut
his residence for SO. Thus on an invest
ment of $1,000 the people of Roanoke will
save 5000 year in the use of 400
phones The Times is not moved to ad-
vocate this measure by dislike tc the Bell
Company, but simply because it will
give the people cheaper and more ex-
tended telephone system, and it hopes
the gentlemen engaged in the plan will
meet with liberal assistance in the way
of subscriptions

Scarcely day passes without some dis
tinguished convert to the policy of bimet-
alhsm.
One of the most notable of these con
versions recently occurred in the state
of Ohio. Hon. John H. Lentz, who has
been for several years "a warm advocate
of the single gold standard, and whose
influence in controlling the German
vote has been as strong perhaps as that cf
any other man in Ohio, now comes out
and declares that he is heartily dissatis-
fled with existing conditions and will do
all in his power to secure financial reform
in the approaching election
In speaking of his changed attitude on
the money question, Mr.. Lentz says:
For many months have diligently in
Vestigated and discussed the financial
problem and supported the existing order
of things, but have found that one bv

basis for the currency of the United

THE FALL ELECTIONS.

The election in Alabama Oh the 30th of
August for governor and other State
officers, is looked to by many as more than
usually important, inasmuch as it is
thought it will indicate to some extent in
what direction the political wind is blow
ing The Democrats have nominated
Capt. Joseph F. Johnson, of jefferson, for
governor, and the T Opulsts have put out
Representative Goodwin, who contested
the seat with Mr.. Cobb in Congress and
won. The Republicans have-fused with
the latter for State officers. but are much
disgruntled at the action of the delegates
from Alabama to the late St. Louis Pop
ulist convention, who voted for the nom
ination OF Bryan for President They
now threaten to draw out of the business
and let things drift as they may; but il
is hardly probable that any such course
will be followed at this late date. They
will swallow the ticket, but eveA with
their assistance it is not certain that.it

So far As the question of silver coinage
Is concerned a large majority of the white
voters of Alabama are for free coinage: So
whether the Populists win or not. the re-
suit of the election, taken as "A straw TO
show the drift of public sentiment as be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley, may not be
very suggestive after all 1t is true a
number OF Democrats have promised to

only by possible falling off in the Dem
ocratic vote for governor that the extent
OF this detection can be con jectured, and
even this would not he a reliable esti-

Alabama is Il strong Democratic State.
ana the free silver men in that party are
largely in the majority there. The State,
even if the Populists had not nominated
Bryan would in all probability 90 Demo

been done it is sure to give him hand
