Inspector George Morrison and
Judge James Doris, election officers
of the Tenth representative district,
were dismissed yesterday by Magis-

The mCa were charged by John Il.
Hartman. cl,orod minister, Of New
Castle, with wilfuliy and knowingly
refusing to allow him TO vote on cleo
tlon day, he being a qualified voter.
The reason given fer such refusal on
Che Iart Of the election Officers was
that the name Of J-hn II. Harmani
cCrorcd, did not aIrcar on the regis
Iation looks, whereas the name OF
John H. Hartman, white. had been en-
tered by the registrar
Iae eyideree went to prove thlt Mr..
Euman returned twice after bis vote
WAS refused. Mcrrison and Doris
stated they had to f-'.oy the lists. and
MUeiore they could not permit a ccl-
ored man qualified as white 10 vote
because q white man giving the snre

TIDAL WAVE OF CRIME.
JUDGE MARTINS STARTLING

HE REFERS TO Tine RIcNIlAl2GI-
ABLE GROWTH OF THE Elk
PENsEs OF HIS COURT. BEFoRE
WHICH THERE Is TlHE GREAT
EST NUN1BER Or CRIMINAL
CASES EVER KNOWN.
Eastcn, Nd, Nov. zS.-Before the
Move mber term Of the Circuit Court of
Talbot county, which is now in session,
Judge William R. Martin delivered an
interesting and important as well as a
somewhat startling charge to the grand
jury. He said in part.
u had sincerely hoped and certainly
expected ON convening court to-day 10
congratulate you upon short term
and Ettla work. On the contrary 4
am compelled to cali your attention toI
condition Ct affairs in Talbot county
which must needs be Alarming TO the
taxpayers, whign is a menace TO the
peace aud good order Of society, ana
which is a stigma upon the good name
Of our people. You will find upon an
examination or your docket that tne
recognized cases sent for your action by
the magistrates Of the county amount
to the unprecedented number CT ninety
three, The largest ever known n the
history Of this court. To the thought-
ful mind this furnishes food for refb e.
ton aud serious consideration. IL IS
truly a condition and not in anywise
a theory
The criminal business, as yen all
know, constitutes the chief item OF the
counts expense. 1t has been imposs.-
bic for me to examine every year for
the past two decades, but have select
ed for my Illustration the years 1871
1887, 1897. In the year 1877 the ex-
lpenee CT this court was $3.50. In 1887
the courts expenses were $500 In
1897 they were Sl6,sOO. The peaceful,
.aw-abidirg people OF this county who
have given neither Thought nor investi-
gaticn to this item Of expense will he
aston.shcd at it's proportions. AT least
ave-sixths OF all this expense has been
incurred in prosecuting the criminals
Of this county and with the disgusting
result of having the largest grand jury
docket for this term ever known in cur
court
"A further analysis Of the situation
shows that 67ls per dutum OF the
cases on your docket comss from tna
town Of Easton. For years this town
has been the Mecca for a crowd OF
lldhng boys and men who disdain work,
but who boast OF their ability 10 live
