Outrageous Assault.

A dispatch from Ellicott City, dated July
18th, says:
Quite serious assault was made on Fri.
day last on Frank Griffith at his residence
near Roxbury Mills, in Howard county. Mr.
drlfhth had colored man in his employ
on the farm by the name of Alec Brown,
about "a years of age, and on last Friday
Mr.. Griffith's wife and family left home for
visit to spend the day.
About noon the colored man BROWN and
MIR. Griffith had some words regarding a
horse, and the result was the formers dis.
charge. short time afterward, while Mr..
Griffith was attending to duties around the
house, Brown waylaid him, striking him in
the head with stone and then jumping on
him with his feet. Mr.. Griffith lay there un-
conscious until the return of his wife, late
in the evening, who found him in that con-
dition. Brown had fled, no doubt thinking
Mr.. Griffith dead.
Mr.. Griffith regained consciousness yes
terday and told his story of the assault, and
to day Judge Charles II. Griffith. of Mont.
gomery county, the father of Mr.. Griffith,
on learning of the assault, called on Pres-
dent Hass and Edmund Dorsey, of the How
ard County Board of Commissioners, re.
questing them to offer reward Tor the ar
rest and conviction of Brown, the fugitive
negro, and authorized him to inform Chief
OF Police Vansant, of Elicott City, to offer
the reward of 800 for arrest and conviction
of Brown, which he did and Chief Vansant
notified Marshal Frey, Of Baltimore, of the
reward and gave him description of Brown.
1t is thought that Brown belongs in Bal
timore, as he came from there from an intel
ligence office and has worked in Howard
county for about year among the farmers
in that section, and has bad reputation.
He told it himself that he had served time
in Maryland Penitentary, also in the House
Of Correction, and had scars about his head
which he said he had received from the
many fights he had been in Brown is
about "a years of age, copper color, five and
ahalf leet, hair just cut, las pounds, dark
clothing, brown SLOUGH hat, No. 9 sharp
toed shoes, heels run over.

The following petition, very numerou sly

County Electric Roads.

According to the annual report of the
president of the Frederick and Middletown
Electric Railroad that enterprise seems to
be an assured financial success. If this Is
true, it is important, for it seems to show
that electric roads in the rural communities
can earn dividends, and we may look for
the continued construction of such roads
and the extension of those already con.
structed. The Frederick and Middletown
Road is essentially county road. 1t is true
that it runs through the streets of Frederick.
But Frederick is an exceedingly compact
town, occupying not half the area that a
Western or Northern town of the same pop
ulation occupies. Distances are not great
and we may conclude, therefore, that the
travel from place to place within the town
is not very large. The road must depend
for its earnings upon the passenger and
freight traffic of the country through which
it extends and the travel of excursionists
from Frederick TO places along the road.
The road lies through one of the most
fertile and beautiful agricultural districts OF
this country, famous for its productiveness.
But the farms are comparatively large, the
country is not densely peopled and there
are few villages. The road crosses Catoctin
mountain by heavy gradients. This road
furnishes an outlet for the wheat and other
agricultural products of the rich farms
through which 1t passes, and has, doubtless,
greatly enhanced the value of the lands by
bringing them nearer to market. 1t certain
ly has contributed to the pleasure and con
venience of country life along the line. Ii
this electric road pays, why may not others
in like placesp There is a vast amount of
capital lying idle and looking for invest
ments, and it may be that much of 1t will
find employment in electric roads. Those
places where water power is available are
particularly fortunate, as by this wonderful
method force which has been going To
waste since the beginning of time can be
harnessed and put to work transporting pas
sengers from place to place and carrying
produce to market. 1t is just possible that
the twentieth century may bring as great a
development and advance as the nineteenth
Baltimore Sun.
