TAX RATE FOR 1897.
A Decrease of Four Cents From Rate Of
1896, But Still Three Cents Above
the Old Rate.

The County Commissioners on Monday
made the levy for 1897. The state levy is III
cents and the rate for county purposes is 40
cents on the $4,000.
The rate for county purposes prior to the
time the present road law went into effect was
so cents on the $4,000. When the care of
roads was given over to the several districts
the rate went down to AZ cents. Last year the
County Commissioners levied cents extra,
in order to meet the cost of the new assess
ment and the cost of the registration and
election law.
The Commissioners closely calculated the
expenses of the county, and concluded that
As cent rate would be required to raise the
necessary amount.
This rate will not be welcome news to tax
payers A higher basis and a lower tax rate
was expected to result from new assessment,
but no allowance was made for an expensive
election and registration law, with an increase
of voting places. Not much will be realized
this year from the taxation of incomes from
mortgages, and the different and lower rates
on certain stocks and securities makes the in
come matter of uncertainty, and the best
Judgment of the Commissioners was that tax
of As cents on 800. 90 was necessary. 1t is TO
be hoped that rigid economy will be practiced
in order that lower rate will be possible next
year. With increased local taxation and
higher federal taxation through the operation
of the new tariff bill soon to 60 into operation,
and with low prices of all farm products, hard
lines have fallen upon our people.
The table below will show the tax rate in
each district for state, county and road pur-

Finksburg Sunday School Anniversary.

The Finksburg sunday school ofthe Method
ist Protestant Church celebrated its anniver-
sary on Sunday last with services Of more
than an ordinarily interesting character. The
attendance was large and the morning service
was devoted to a memorial to the late Rev.
j. r. Ward, who for twenty seven consecu-
tive years, except one, had attended these
anniversaries, making the morning address.
The exercises on this occasion consisted of
singing and recitations, one of which was a
memorial psem to DIR. Ward. DR.. j. w.
Herring of this city, made the address, re
viewing the life and character Of DIR. Ward
and also speaking of the lessons to be drawn
from so great and good life. Brief remarks
were also made by Mr.. Frank L. Herring and
Mr. George W. Horner. A series of very
appropriate resolutions were presented and
adopted.
The afternoon service was more particu-
larly devoted to the Sunday school, and the
address was delivered by Rev. H. L. Elder
dice, President Of the Westminster Theological
Seminary.
These anniversaries are occasions of great
interest, not only to the Sunday school but
also to the entire community. DR.. Ward
and DR.. Herring have visited them regularly
since 1863

WESTERN MARYLAND TELEPHONE co.
Some Changes in Management and Some
Change in Rate of Rental.

Harry Irwin has resigned as general man
ager Of the Western Maryland Telephone
Company of Carroll County, and Charles
Thomas has resigned as secretary and treas
urer. The directors have consolidated the
two offices and elected Mr.. A. IL. Huber
secretary, treasurer and manager. The
change will result in more economy in oper-
ating expenses. while the service will be
maintained as formerly and improved as
much as possible. Mr. Irwin has accepted
a position with the Southern States Telephone
Company at Norfolk, Virginia.
Experience has proved to the directors that
the rates of the company are too low to main
tain lines and give the day and night service
and it was determined to make slight in
crease in the rental Of phones in business
places from $500 to $2l.00 a year. This
increase is but twenty five cents a month, and
subscribers have readily assented to it. Rem
tails for phones in private residences will re-
main the same.
By reduction of expenses and an increase
in revenue the directory believe the company
will soon be in good financial condition.
The several changes that were necessary in
Westminster, by reason of the ever increas-
ing use of phones, added largely to the cost
of construction, and damage to the lines run
ming out into the county by severe storms
made unusual expense for repairs.
The lines now are in good order. and with
the new order OF affairs the company ought
to be in good financial condition in another
year and be a regular dividend payer there

WELLINGTON MAD AGAIN.
He Denounces the Warmers Before
a Senate Commute and Gives
Mckinley a Side Lick.

The Senate Committee on Commerce took
M the nomination of B. H. Warner, Jr., to
be Consul to Leipsic, on Thursday. Mr..
Wellington appeared before the Committee
and made known his opposition in vigorous
language.
He denounced the Warmers, father and son.
as frauds, said Mckinley had treated him
with discourtesy, and that as Senator and
Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee he wanted TO be consulted, or he
would "wash his hands ofthe whole business.
Mr.. B. H. Warner, ST., was next heard.
He defended his son 5 character in regard to
dissipation, and then turned to Wellington
and denounced him as a RECKLESS and AFRO
CANT boss Turning TO Mr.. German, who is
a member of the committee, Mr.. Warner
said-"You have been called a boss, but you
are an infant alongside of this new boss, who
has earned by his silly and impudent de
mands the title Of the Duke OF Wellington.
I'm the course of his remarks Mr.. Warner
said he had made Wellington, by inducing
Mudd to throw his influence for him, and Mr..
Wellington characterized the statement as
ian Infamous lie Wellington was mad all
over. aud could scarcely fnd words 10 express
himself. Mr.. Warner was equally emphatic.
The exhibition was the most disgraeefu,
perhaps, that has ever taken place before a
Senate Committee under similar clrcum
stances Wellington has been sized up By
the Republican Senators and it is not thought
he has much weight with them. 1t is very
likely that young Warmers nomination will
be favorably reported.
