Supreme Court Opinion

This is case growing oat of
proposed issue of bonds BY Cannon
county to the amount of SAC. Az. 20
Tor funding warrants issued DURING
1894 and 1895. The bonds were
sold to Roberts Bros. of Spokane
and this suit was brought to de-
termine their validity. A demur-
er was presented BY District At
tOrney Hays for the commissioners
setting up that the complaint did
not set forth facts constituting a
cause of action. The demurrer was
sustained, and from this judgment
the appeal was taken.
The question involved in the
litigation is one that has been. be-
fore the court in other cases-that
of the right of the commissioners
to issue warrants in excess of the
revenues. As this Indebtedness
had been created without having
been authorized by The people at
an election, and as the expenditure
was held not to be ordinary and
necessary, it was claimed that the
warrants were void.
The supreme court does not di-
reetly pass on the validity of the
warrants, but it finds that The
complaint did set forth facts con-

June Arena.

The Arena for June is out early
and filled with strong articles on
live subjects. There is one by
Gordon Clark, "The Ultimate
Trust Cure" which should claim
special attention. Mr.. Clark is
one of the we'll informed advanced
thinkers on economic questions and
most vigorous writer.
"Municipal Conditions in Cali
formal by Hon. Jas. ID. Phelan,
"Railway Financiering as a Fine
Art" by Hon. w. p. Fishback,
''The True Evolution" by the edi
tor, are among the many articles
which fill the Arena for June with
a class of reading the public is be-
coming more interested in than
formerly. And it is matter of
self defense that causes this change
in public thought. The great de-
vouring passion of greed that has
within the last quarter ola century
gotten the upper hand in public
affairs and is spreading as con-
Stunning fire, has caused a class of
thinkers to sound the note of alarm
and warning through such publ
cations as the Arena.

Water Spout.

During the heavy thunderstorm
on Monday afternoon last "a most
unusual phenomenon in the shape
of a water spout was seen near the
mouth of the North East river.
The spout was in the form of a
huge funnel and after lowering over
the water for quite a while was
seen to suddenly drop into the river
splashing the water up to a tremend-
Gus height. 1t was seen by Miss
Martha Biddle and several mem
bers of the Taylor family from
Taylors store, Blythedale, by Jos.
P. Wright of Akin, while out with
his milk wagon and by several of
Mr.. Pitts family near Principle
Furnace as we'll as by a number of
Havre de Grace people. AS nearly
as we can learn, it seemed to be
just off the mouth of the North
East river.-Perryville Record.
Ray Campbell, who has a fishing and
ducking shanty at Bakers Cove. reports
that the waterspout was first noticed off
White Banks, travelling in a northeasterly
direction, and that it struck the shore on
the Silver farm at Wild Duck, where
quite number of OILERS were located.
VIM. Murphy of Charlestown had scow
on which was built shanty which he
had beached at this point, it being fast
ened with large anchor, weighing about
100 lbs. The waterspout caught up the
shanty and scow and after taking it
several feet in the air overturned and
dropped it bottom side up, the anchor fol-
lowing and while suspended in midair
seemed to be held there stationary for
several seconds. The water was dropped
on the beach near at hand and many eels
and fish were afterwards found, which
had been sucked up from the flats and
| left on the beach when the water fell
The dark funnel-shaped cloud then ross
in the air and passed over the woods and
descended over wheat field where it
seemed to explode, loud report being
heard at that point. A later investigation
showed that tract of the wheat, several
feet square had been shriveled and burnt.
A large hickory tree was torn up by the
roots and three scows overturned which
hnppened to be in the path of the spout.
When first noticed it was making noise
like heavy train of cars and caused

SO Years of Cures.
A Sunday Night Jamboree.

About twenty negroes men and
women, boys and girls, last Sunday
evening, promenaded South Queen
street to the depot in high glee, as
hilarious as a big sunfower. All
were chattering, all were laughing
and all were shouting at the same
time. After a turn or two on the
platform the procession started
back, but d wonderful change had
taken place. The night was made
hideous with cuss words. All was
now discord and the laugh and
merry prattle had given place to
angry yells. A young buck struck
a girl and knocked her down and
the stricken maiden was a-cryin'
and abawlin', and two or three
were holding the fellow who had
struck the girl while he pranced
and tore to get away in order to
finish the girl up.
When the battle began the flock
scattered in all directions, but got
together in center square where the
shindy was renewed. In the mean
time the bailiff was in church listen
ing to the preacher telling of
"peace on earth" and these wicked
colored folks were breaking the
peace of the town.
We did not think there were so
many ola kind in the Sun. It used
to be almost entirely a pale faced
village. These disturbers of the
peace and "desecrators of the
Sabbath" we are told came from
Conowingo and the neighborhood
round about Mt. Zoar. The stock
in that region has seemingly de-
generated. The Berries, the Bodies,
the Browns, the Buffers, the Boyers,
the Hartshorns, the Bladens and
others ofthe old stock were we'll bred,
we'll behaved remarkably polite in
dustrious people and much respect
ed. The young stock appear to have
degenerated and are travelling back
to African civilization, commonly
called barharism, where the young
buck, when he goes awooing picks
the girl out he fancies. knocks her
down with a club and carries her
off to his hut. Mt. Zoar is a famous
colored church, but its grace seems
to have lost it's SAVIOR.

order that there might be sufficient
room to accommodate all the guest.

A Literary Bureau.

The Democratic editors of Maryland
held convention last week. Among
other things done beside having a good
time they passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That Messrs Chas H. vanderford, of
the Westminster Advocate; Albert J. Almoney, of
the Rockville Advocate; W. Laird Henry, of the
Centerville Observer, and f. NJ. Cox, of the Port
Tobacco Times, be, and they are hereby appoint
ed, committee, whose duty it will be to collate
facts bearing upon the record of the Republican
party generally and especially within the state of
Maryland, and more especially during its present
short lease of power, and any other facts which
shall have material bearing upon the conduct
of the campaign.
The said facts, after having been so colated
and verified, to be incorporated into convenient
articles prepared for publication and transmitted
i'll slip or plate form, whichever may be more
acceptable to the members of this association and
to the editors of all other Democratic papers in
this state who shall apply for membership in this
association or who may desire to use its service
and give publication to the facts prepared.
We hope the Committee in whose
hands the education of Maryland Demo
cratic editors is placed, will favor the
MIDLAND JOURNAL with occasional
"slips." We confess to lively curiosity
to see some of this literature the Mary
land press is to be provided with.
1t is not SO long as a year ago that this
committee was very much i'll the dark in
respect to the subjects they are commits
stoned TO enlighten their brother editors
on. But the stress of the resolution is
laid upon fighting the Republican party
of the State. This will be quite an old
familiar exercise, but will hardly advance
the cause of the New Democracy much.

Death of James c. Bell.

In the death of James g. Bell
which occurred on Wednesday of
last week, Conowingo loses its
greatest benefactor. He died sud
denly at his summer residence,
Livingston Manor, near Hudson,
Columbia county, New York, aged
eighty-three.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Bell
came to this county to find winter
residence to escape the rigorous
climate of the North. The location
at Conowingo struck his fancy and
he purchased the property imme-
diately above the village which
overlooked the little town and COM
manded a grand river view. He
purchased the property from VIM.
E. Porter, who was very glad to get
rid of it, as it was something of a
wilderness and required a mint of
money to make it lock like q
civilized country. Mr.. Bell had
the money and made the place one
of the incest spots in the county,
where his family spent the winter
months. Mr.. Bell was very en-
terprising man and purchased pro-
perty in the village of Conowingo,
built and improved and took much
interest in affairs in that section of
the district. He held a large in
terest in Conowingo bridge, and
expended good deal of money in
making substantial road between
the bridge and town, Conowingo
will greatly miss its greatest bene-
factor.

good but it is not to be compared with

quicker, too, when this remedy is given.
