SPOTTERs ARE At WORK.
A Number of B. & o. Conductors Have
Been Suspended From Duty.

A number OF conductors on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad have been sus-
pended pending charges against them.
1t is rumored that spoilers have been at
work on the various divisions. All the
suspended conductors have been notified
to report TO the division superintendent
to which they belong.
The former shaking up among the con-
ductors. which took place over ten years
ago, was great surprise to them, num-
Der of whom simply received notices by
mail and wire that their services were
not satisfactory TO the company and they
were dismissed indefinitely. In this in
stance, however. the men were treated
indifferently. They were notified TO re-
port, and will be given chance to de-
fend the charges against them.
Not only the conductors but brakemen
as well are under the surveillance OF the
spotter. One OF the brakemen. when or
dered before the officials. was handed a
kodak picture of himself, which showed
him as he was emerging from a saloon
in an intoxicated condition. The "shak-
ing up has caused furry among rail-
readers.

A Legal Question to Settle.

A taxpayer writes to the CAPITAL as
follows: els not'Spa Bridge under the de-
cision of the Court in the Daniel Johnson
registration case, street in Annapolis?
II so has the county any right to keep up
said bridge5 2. II a street, then is it not
the duty of the city police to patrol it as
suchl 3. Is not all property, the bath
house, the railway, the Glass Company's S

liable to city taxes under the port warden
line discussion. 1t seems to me what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gan
der. IfMr. Martins property is in the city
limits, surely those | have mentioned
come under the same decision. If those
people are to be d0n6y taxed as all
property owners of Annapolis are. for
the sake of depriving poor ignorant
negro of his vote. we think it a very hard
case. TAX PAYER.

Small Poz Near Gueydan.

last Saturday by the report of a
telegram from Gueydan to the effect
that a genuine case O. small pox exist
ed near there. The Parish Board of
Health acted promptly by sending
DR.. Lee Wood, a small pox immune
to investigate the matter. He went
out to see the case which IS in a canal
camp about 3 miles northwest GueY-
dan and found it was really small pox.
He established q detention camp and
placed all who were known to have
been exposed therein and vaceinated
several hundred people. It is hoped
that with warm weather and the aid
of DR.. Corbett of Gueydan, who will
remain on the ground to watch for
new cases, the spread of the disease
will be prevented.
