When we got up this morning
and looked out upon the muddy
condition Of the streets and felt
the dampened condition of the at
mosphere, and noticing that the
leadened colored clouds hung low
over the city as a pail, we thought
that here was one day that our la
dies could not get down town to
shop, bat by nine o'clock the stores
and sidewalks, were 'given a cheer
full appearance by the presence OF
many ladies', who were bent on
shopping. We saw many mothers
at the toy counters, searching tor
something to please their dear lit
tie ones, as a Christmas gift. The
young lady contingent out were at
the silk and embroidery counters
looking at the gay colored silks,
suitable for adornment The mer'
chants did a lively business after
all. Our ladies never let a little
mud or rain, keep them in, when
they have a full pocket book to pay
for what they want and we don't
blame the dears bit.

Gives Bail.

Magistrate John q. (. Wetherill held pI E.
liminary examination in the swivel gun case
at his home near Magnolia Station on We'd
nesday. DR.. George W. Massemore, assistant
State game warden, in company with Jam. S
Archer, representing the Maryland Game and
Fish Protective Association, and Detectives
o. ]. Miller and David c. Smart arrived from
Baltimore on the 12.06 train. The detectives
brought the big gun which is the bone Of con
tention along with them. When they reached
Magnolia they were told that Litchield in
tended to take his case to the Circuit Court
at Bel Air. The gun was left in the station,
while the officers went to the hearing. Be-
fore the hearing was over Detective Miller
fastened back to the station to guard the
gun for fear an effort might be made to get
away with it.
The only witnesses examined at the hear
ing were the detectives, Miller and Smart.
They described their effoIts to get the gun and
gave their version of their encounter with
Mrs. Litchfield. AS soon as the statements of
the detectives were heard Litchfield sprang to
his feet and demanded a trial in the higher
court. hdSIslidt "SluSiHI
demanded bail IN the sum $500 and the
amount was voluntarily proffered by j.
Warren Brown and John Skillman, prominent
citizens of Magnolia.
The people in the vicinity of Magnolia and
Edgewood turned out in large numbers to
attend the hearing, and good deal of iudig.
nation was manifested over the seizure
of the gun. 1t is claimed that the gun had
not been used for ducking purposes and has
been lying idle in Litcbfeld's house for the
past four years.
Litchfeld claims that he bought the CUR
for few dollars at public sale four year.
ago aud had no intention and never has used il
to kill ducks. His son is reported to have
said that they had another one like it down
on the place and II the detectives wanted to
take the risk they were welcome to come
down and try to take the gun. Owing to the

and battery which he made aginst Detec
tives Miller and Smart It was thought thu
men would be arrested while they were pres
