the health department was so painfully
Injured. a colored man named William

water department, and who was riding
the other bicycle. was in court as defend
ant The doctor was thrown under As
SCISSOR Trimble's carriage. but the assessor
was not in court.
Riding on the wrong side of the street
and colliding was the charge against Simp-
son. II was admitted that the defendant
was on the wrong side of the street. but
DR. Fowler said the affair was purely an
accident He said he did net want Simp-
son fined. but only wanted the cour. to fix
IN" responsibility. Statements. he said had
fcen made that he was at fault, and he
wanted the matter settled by the court
Judge Scot; said he would like to accom-

led him to order wholesale removals from
the warehouses, lops off their heads.
Mr.. Hughes said to reporter of the
American yesterday that he Or
ganiZation man, and had SO expressed him
self. but that he had written to certain
members of the Howard county delega-
ton to the state convention, and had urged
them to stand by Sydney f.. Mudd wher-
ever he might lead. The fact that Howard
county had done so, and that the entire
vote of southern Maryland had gone against
Wellington, and, as a result. has placed
Mudd in the ascendarcy. naturally mads
the governor mad, because he saw in it his
own finish. He looked around for some
means with which to show his dis3leasure
and the only thing he could find was the
petty revenge resorted to in the dismissal
of couple OF southern Maryland men who
occupied positions in the state warehouses;
and whose sole crime was daring to eXer-
else their American privilege of having an
opinion and sticking to it.
