VERY UNGALLANT.
young Ladies Struck with Whip
and in Other Ways Roughly
Treated.

Misses Mamie and Mary Beaver,
daughters of the late Henry Beaver. of
Knoxville, this county, appeared be-
fore Magistrate Biser ON Tuesday morn
ing last, and made serious charges
against Martin Mcbride and A. M.
Thomas, who had been arrested by
Constable Simpson. The substance of
the young ladies' statement was, that
on Saturday last the prisoners attempt
ed to drive four-hOrse wagon across
the premises of the Misses Beaver de-
spite their interference. The men acted
in a particularly rude manner and
used bad language. After requesting
the men to go back, the young ladies,
who were driving at the time, drew
their team across the narrow roadway
to prevent the tresspass of the prop
erty. This had no more effect than
words. The heavy wagon was driven
up TO and against the light vehicle oc-
cupied by the women, and one OF the
men struck Miss Mary violently
with a heavy team whip. This gross
indignity was added to by the upset
ting of the light vehicle and guest of
the Misses Beaver, Miss Busted, of
Centerville, Md, being thrown to
the ground. She was more frightened
than hurt, however. The magistrate,
after hearing the evidence, held the
men in heavy bail for the next term of
court.
1t seems that these men had given
considerable trouble for some time past.
Mcbride is tenant on the farm of Mr.
A. M. Landauer of Frederick, and
Thomas is another employee. When
the Misses Beaver sold the tract of
land, they closed the road leading to it
through their land. Mcbride persist
ed in using the old road and would
even take down the bars closing the
entrance, as fast as they could be put
up. This was very annoying to the
beavers, especially as road through
the Landauer farm to the main road
could easily be made.
Miss Charlotte Weikes, of Kent
County, was also present during the
unpleasant scene and testified before
the magistrate.

NEW r. r. SCHEDULE.
New and Fast Trans Over this
Great Road Provided for Fred
erick.

In another column will be found in
full the new schedule of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Frederick Division,
which went into effect on Monday, the
3rd of August. This change has peen in
contemplation for some time by the Off
Gals OF the road, but they were induced
to give the matter careful consldera-
ton through the efforts of the Freder-
lex Business Mems Association. We
certainly have an excellent train serv-
ice over the Pennsylvania line to Bal
timore, Philadelphia aud New York,
as we'll as to intermediate stations, and
all that remains is for our people to
properly cooperate with the Company
in their evident desire to advance our
interests and benefit the town. We
now have over the above railroad two
trains each way for New York City,
three from Frederick to Baltimore
and four from Baltimore to Frederick,
two each way for Philadelphia aud
closer connection with Hagerstown.
An examination of the time table will
clearly show the great advantages OF
the new time table.

CARS NOT YET RUNNING,
But as Soon as the Motor Car
riages Arrive They Will be SPIN
ming Along the Electric Road
Rapidly Finishing up the Work.

1t is hardly possible that we shall
hear the electric motors "moting" on
the new trolley line from Frederick to
Middletown or even to Braddock for a
w eek or SO, as some enthusiasts have
sanguinely predicted. In the first
place the motor cars have not yet ar
rived and then again the feed and Gen.
ire wires are not yet in permanent posi-
tion. The junction shoes have not
been connected to the centre wire at
t he places where it is supported from
the side poles. These little details of
finishing up will take more time than
at first supposed. Mr.. Bosley, of the
Electric Light and Power Company,
informs us that the machinery is all in
readiness 10 furnish power, but moth
ing can be done until the cars are re-
ceived. This may not be until next
week. The cars will only be run as
far as Braddock Heights for the pres
ent, as the Middletown end of the line
is not quite completed. Workmen
are busy laying track at that point and
expect to get through shortly.
President Smith and his aids are do
ing all in their power to push things
along, realizing all the time that much
money is being lost by not having the
road in operation during this heated
spell. But when things get started
right trolley parties will be the order
of the day and business will be brisk
all along the line. Every encourage
ment should be given the managers in
this great enterprise which means so
much for Frederick. Connections
have been made with the tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Nowadays when women are trying
to do everything it is not strange that
many things are over-dOne. 1t is not
strange that there are all kinds of phys
ical and mental disturbances. II the
woman who is "a doctor, or a lawyer, or
a journalist, or in business, would try
to be a society woman too il might be
different; but the woman who knows
when she has done a days work has
yet to be born. Usually wOman's
way is to keep going until she drops.
Working in this way has manifold
evils. The most common troubles re-
sulting from over exertion, either men,
tally or physically, is constipation of
the bowles, with all it's attendant hor-
rOrs.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
most effective remedy in the market.
They work upon the system easily,
naturally. There is no unpleasant
nausea after taking them. No gripping
no pain-nO discomfort. They are COM
posed of materials that go through the
system gradually, collecting all impu-
rites and, like the good little servants
that they are, disposing of them etfec:-
ually.

ANNEX TO MONTEVUE.
New Building to be Erected for
the Accommodation of Colored
Inmates-A Long Needed
Improvement.

Que of the most important decisions
reached by the Board of County Com
missioners recently in session, was that
of Immediately erecting large and
commodious quarters for the colOred
inmates of the institution, who are
now suffering much Inconvenience
for lack of room, ventilation, ETC., es-
pecialiy these warm days. This
change has long been . crying neces-
sity, but the county officers have de-
ferred action until the way could be
safely seen. Even as it is now they
have been put TO no incOnsiderable ex-
pense bv the extensive alterations
recently made in the Circuit Court
Chamber, the Clerks and Orphans
Court offices. This has cost large
sum of money, but was absolutely nee
essary in view of the rapidly increas-
ing number of documents and the de-
lay occasloned in referring to them.
The commissioners have decided
upon no plans as yet and no contract
mas been entered upon. The building
will be of brick and be of ample pro-
portions to accommodate all de-
lAdbOo OhdC dIO lihCIJ W. NC uPOA
it. The site has not been chosen vet,
but in all likelihood it will be some
where near the main building. A
great item of expense will be saved
by the employment of the inmates to
help the builders. This it is estimated
will save several thousand dollars.
The amount to be expended will not,
it is thought, be over three thousand
dollars, and possibly not that much,
all depending upon how much can be
saved by using the Montevue force of
wOrkmtn.
The course of the commissioners
will he most widely approved by our
taxpayers, who realize the importance
of having ample and complete arrange
ments for our afflicted and unfortunate
fellow creatures. With the proposed
improvement our well known institu-
ton will be second to none of its kind
in the country.
