CONSCIENCE MoNEY.-Monday morning
Register of Wills Thomas f. Hiliard Hag-
erstown, received letter postmarked Balti'
more, January 8. The address on the envel-
ope was clipped from an old envelope
containing the name of Mr. billiard, and
looked time worn. The letter contained
800 bill and $50 bill wrapped in plain
paper on which was written in hand
evidently disguised. "The enclosed belongs
to the estate of j. Dixon Roman 1t is
thought the money is from person who
owed the estate and who was not sued, or
who was not known to have owed the
money.
The Zollicofier mill fire in Taneytown has
brought the water supply question promi
ncntly forward in that town again. Get
water, friends; get it at any cost within rca-
SON. At one fire alone in this town since
the advent of the water and fire companies,
sufficient property was saved, that in all hu-
man probability would have burned had we
possessed only pump and bucket brigade
facilities, to have nearly or quite accounted
for the entire cost of the two companies.
Seven frame buildings were on fire with
storm prevailing, yet SEQ paid ali losses save
that of the chief fire, a stable. True, insur-
ance would have largely covered the losses,
but that is absolutely no argument; the in
sured alone have to meet these losses.
