Ordinance Violation.

Recently an order was issued by the
Baltimore and Ohio officials to the
agent at Oakland to report all engin-
GERS who run their trains at rate of
speed exceeding ten miles per hour
through the corporate limits of Oak
land. This order was brought about
owing to the existing ordinance
against the fast running of trains
through the town which throws the
engineer of any train liable to arrest
and fine and the consequent delay
of traffic in event the ordinance is
disregarded.
In carrying out the orders as issued
by the officials of the road the agent
here has had occasion to report six
engineers who exceeded the rate of
speed with the result that they have
been relieved from duty for a short
period of time.

Just at this time the people of the
county are in a quandary as to the
action to be taken by the Board of
County Commissioners at the meeting
to be held on Monday with regard to
erecting a new Jail in Oakland. So
far as we can learn nothing has been
done by the board in this direction
and as the matter lies wholly in their
power we have been unable to ascer-
tain whether or not the jail will be
built.
At the office of the board four petit
lions have been received from as
many districts in the county protest
ing against the erection of the Jail.
What effect these papers will have
with the board is hard to state. The
petitions contain about three humid
red names
