ing party then under arrest and wanted
in Tennessee for breaking into a post
office, said, after being reminded that he
had twice seen the chief after receiving
the information: IF you want to know
why didn't tell you about it it was sim
ply because l didn't want to-" This re-
ply was made in an indignant and irri-
tating manner. At the same time and
place said Donelson asked: "Why didn't
you notify me when You had the man
located who was wanted in Atlanta If
You think have violated the police regu-
lations report me to the police commits
sion" This was said in a resentful man
ner.
T. C. MCDONALD, Chief of Police
Mr.. Warnock was sworn and stated
that Mr.. Smith came to the office on the
18th of September and asked if he could
have quick service on a paper to recover
some horses. 1.-The papers were secured
and brought to me. and I had them
served. | am positive as to the date be-
cause of the grand jury being near its
close. The horses were brought in from
Pratt mines on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, September 49,
Mr.. Reynolds moved the committee go
into executive session.
Mr.. Lowe asked to be heard. and was
granted the privilege. He read the charge
specified. and examined into the meaning
of the rule He said in the two charges
the horses and the man from Tennessee
there was no violation nor anything
wrong in what Captain Donelson had
done. He ques toned as to whether the
defendant should wait to see the chief or
go at once and perform his duties. Could
there be anything possible on the part of
Captain DonelSon to cause him to conceal
his information from the chief of police.
If there had been purpose on his part to
undermine the police department then he
was wrong, but the facts do not show
this. He referred to the time of the sew
eral occurrences in the matter pertaining
to the horses. Some discretion should be
allowed man in the position occupied
by Captain Donelson. The rules OF this
department, 1 believe he said. are to eX-
pediate matters. Captain Donelson, by
his actions in the two matters showed a
zeal to be commended and not condemn
ed. He was anxious to do his duties and
did so. The chief saw the man under
arrest and saw that he was being taken
to the city prison.
As to the characterization The Ian
guage used should not imply insolence.
1t seemed to him that it would not be to
the dignity of the police force to make a
scapegoat of such an old and tried ofi1-
Ger.
Mr. Reynolds motion was then carried
and the board went into executive ses-
sion.
After celebrating about three quarters
of an hour the commission reached a con-
clusion.
The verdict was guilty as charged and
the fine assessed twenty days beginning
from date of suspension, the unfinished
time to be served by work without pay
Captain Donelson was ordered to report

THE B. & @. WAKING UP.
Great Activity in All the ShOpS-Some
Fine Farming Land.

1t was stated recently that the
inspection made by number of
the chief officials of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company showed
that the roadbed was in good condition
This statement traveller over the line from
Baltimore to Chicago will find to be true.
The present writer was over the road som e
thing over year ago The road is better
good condition in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and as a result excellent time is
made, The line through these states runs
for the most part over level country, the
grades being nowhere serious obstacles. 1t
is fine farming land. At this season the
winter wheat is in a healthy, growing con-
dition, and the corn land is being prepared
very fast for the crop soon to be planted.
Large fields Of oats are also coming on.
Clearing for larger fields has been carried
on vigorously in many sections during the
winter The wood is all hard-oak, chest
nut, hickory, &c-very little pine being
seen. Numerous saw mills are cutting the
trees into shingles, laths and other pro-
ducts.
Nearly all the settlers along the line
have come in since the B. 4 o. was built
through this section back in the seventies.
Many of them are Dunkards from Penn
sylvania, Virginia and Maryland. They
have taken with them their ways of thrift
and economy, and the condition of the
farms shows that they are good managers
and excellent agricultursts. Various
stages OF progress can be seen on these
farms. First, there were the log cabins,
many of which are still standing, but I'M
used for dwellings; then came the big red
barns, and now more pretentious dwellings
are seen all along the line. The land is
constantly rising in value. Very little tnat
has been improved can be had for less
than fifty dollars an acre, and cannot be
bought for that near the numerous towns
and cities all along the road. These towns
are growing very fast. Oil is an import
ant factor in many parts of this territory.
New Baltimore, for instance, is an oil
town.
With such a country as this, as we'll
as fertile Maryland and manufacturing
Pennsylvania to draw upon for business
it is easy to see that the B Il o. will not
lack for freight. The spirit of the new
managers, and, in fact, Fl all the higher
officials, is making itself felt in these days
There is great activity in all the shops
being repaired, new ones have been Or
dered, and those in a position to know say
that in few months the B. q o. will be
in better condition than it has been for
