unlawfully. County sportsmen should
ascertain from the State game warden the
n ames and residences of deputy game war
dens in their respective counties so that the
deputies may be notified without delay of
violations of law. The State game warden
will gladly procure the appointment Of
deputy game wardens in all places which
are not now so protected. My point is
that the public should use the game asso-
citation and the State game warden more
freely. We have the machinery ready and
are now doing very good work l believe.
If the public would only actively cooper
ate with us our efficiency would be
doubled"

The opening of the cunning season on
the Susquehanna flats near PeIryville, this
county, lie fast approaching, and the sports
m en- are busily engaged in getting every
thing in readiness for the opening day,
November 9.
The prospects for this season are better
than they have been since 1885, when the
Jamestown flood destroyed the celery beds.
The line established by the laws OF Mary
land for the gunners on the Susquehanna
River and Chesapeake Bay runs from the
Havre de Grace lighthouse on the Hartford
side, to Carpenters Point, on the Cecil
side, covering an area of four miles in
width and six miles in length, to Turkey
Point, running south The days for gun
ming are Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
from November to January /, from which
after date Saturdays are included until
March. The license required to shoot on
the Susquehanna flats and tributaries OF
the Chesapeake Bay costs $25 for sink boxes
and S. for sneak or bushwhack boats
Quite number of sports the past few
years have bought or leased shores along
the river, upon which blinds have been
erected, and considerable sport is derived
from these, especially in bad weather,
when it is too rough to 90 out in boats.

those of several years past, but this is
accounted for by the great interest taken in
the war between United States and Spain.
OF course most Cecil countians who love
his sport were anxious to see Baltimore
win, and the game she put up the last half
of the season put the ''cranks" on their
mettle. Keller, Baltmore's right fielder,
has the honor of again leading the League
in batting, and Maui in pitching. The
work Of the latter has been marvellous He
has been pitching hall for over 10 years,
and several different clubs released him
because, they said. he was one of the "has
been" pitchers. Manager Hanlon signed
him last year but only pitched him two or
three games, and at the opening OF the
season this year, Maui was put in regut
larly, and proved the best pitcher in the
League, winning about three-fourths OF the
games he pitched.

resenting the Sparrows' Point Athletic AS
ISOLATION, at Port Deposit on Saturday last.
The J. T. l., boys although much lighter
than their opponents, put up stiff game,
and but for a blocked kick on Johnson's
attempted goal from the field, when they
had the ball on Sparrows' Point fifteen
yard line, would have very probably tied
the score.
Neither side scored in the first half, al
though the Sparrows' looked dangerous
with the ball on Tonnes five yard line. BY
pucky stand, however, J. 7. l., got the
ball, and Johnson by good punt, placed
it out OF danger. Time was called with
the play in mid-feld. In the second half,
Capt. Matthews of Sparrows' Point, by
series of line plunges, which the Institute
seemed unable to resist, placed the ball so
close to the line that James was easily
pushed over for a touchdown. Capt Mat
thews missed the goal. The J. I. l.. boys
now Weakened up, and by fierce and fast
work seemed certain to score, until the be-
fore mentioned blocked kick occurred.
Time was called with the play close to the
Sparrows goal line.

who some time ago. while at work in the
company's factory, had his hand badly
crushed in the gearing of a bolt cutter. The
damages asked are $500, on the ground
that the boy was hurt while executing an
order from the foreman. The story of the
plaintiff is that the counter shaft above his
head worked loose continually, and he was
ordered to take a Irvine and tie 1t fast. In
order to do this it was necessary to pass
around behind the machine, where there
was very little room and in doing so his
hand was caught in the gears of the ma
chine and so badly crushed that the ampu-
tation of three fingers was necessary. The
defense demurs on the ground that the boy
was of the age of discretion. and should
have known that the task was dangerous
one, and should have refused TO do it.

The Pair of Acid-ThrOwinE Women
Bound Over i'm Police Court.
Mrs. Lulu Kline and Mrs. Maud Goodin,
the women charged with throwing vitriol in
the face of DR.. Aimee Haskinson, were
Court yesterday and held for grand jury
action Mrs Kline waived examination and
served as a witness against Mrs. Goodin
When she took the stand the court informed
her that, under the law, she would not be
compelled to testify; but she declared that
she wanted to do so. She told the story
practically as she told it to the Journal at
Goodin had promised her life of ease to
throw the acid, how she had at first refused
and had been led to believe that Miss Has
kinson had alienated the affections of Mrs.
Goodin's husband. and how she had finally
consented under the conviction that she
would be doing a righteous act. She said
that Mrs. Strause, the daughter of Mrs.
Goodin, had also encouraged her to do the
the acid, and that while she was deliberat-
ing whether to throw it or not, Mrs. Goodin
gave her medicine for sore throat, which
she believes now contained drug to hold
her under Mrs. Goodin's influence.
A new feature of the story was brought
that Mrs Goodin once formed a plan to
murder Miss HaskinSon outright A room
was rented near the Doctors office, and
Mrs. Goodin and the witness were to occupy
to summon Dr. Haskinson on a pretext that
some one was i'll, and were to murder her.
The examination lasted until 3 O'Clock, and
both women were held to the grand jury.
