The Treasurer's Report.

The attention OF the taxpayers OF Hartford
county is called to the quarterly report made
by Mr.. Edward NJ. Allen, Jr., the County
Treasurer, which appears in another column
Of this weeks HgiS. The amount OF funds
collected and deposited TO the credit OF the
county and the surplus now on hand speaks
volumes for the working of the new law.
Contrasting the new method with that
which was in vogue almost since the erection
OF Hartford district into a separate county,
with that row being ustd, we find that the
reports of the collectors made to the County
Commissioners on December 81, 1897, and
verified by the books OF the Commissioners,
shoS that the sum of $50, 307 o. had been col,
lected and deposited by the various collectors
up to that date. In contrast with that show
ing, the rep Jrt Of MIR. Allen, to which we in.
wife attention, exhibits The gratifying fact
| that during the corresponding term in 1898
there passed through the HANDS OF the Treas
urer the SUM of $50 ,O9G So, and that on Janu
airy 9th there was, after deducling all dis
| hurstments, expenses, &C., the snug sum Of
| $37 616 50 with which to meet the demandt
which may be made upon the treasury, as they
| fall due.
There is also a vast saving in the expense Of
| collecting the taxes, and what is more TO the
purpose, promptness In the payment by the
people, which insures an ever present fund O
money.

Special Notice to DeliIQuents.

Under the Act of 1898, Chapter 201, entitled

airy in each year to make out list of all DELHI
quent taxpayers with description of the prop

will render the same easy of identification, the
amount of taxes levied and in arrears with in
terest, costs and expenses accrued thereon to
the day OF sale, preparatory to advertising
such property for sale. To do the above work
involves very considerable labor and extra
clerical force together with the service of a
legal adviser, all of which will have to be charg
ed in due proportion to the delinquent taXpay-
ers with the result of increasing the amount of
his tax bill. The Treasurer would like to avoid
all such additional expense and he hereby
gives notice to all delinquent taxpayers Rnd
others whom it may concern, that on all tax
bills paid ON or before Tuesday. January 31st,
1892 that there will be no such expense, but
that on and after the first of February follow
ing each delinquent will have added to his tax
bill his share of such expense as may have ac-
crued on the day of payment including adver-
Using, if publication shall have been then
made.
Especial attention is hereby called to the tax

corporations and cannot therefore give each
party infested notice by mail. All mortgagees,
assignees and corporations will therefore take
notice that their respective interests are liable
to be levied on and sold, and that to avoid ex-
pepse they should make settlement before the
first day Of February next.

Horse Disease.

The staff of the Mary land Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, at College Park, Md, at its
regular meeting Saturday took up and dis
cussed in all its phases the horse disease,
cerebro-spinal meningitis, which has been
prevalent in numerous sections Of Maryland
lately. DIR. Samuel s. Buckley, veterinarian
of the MARY land Agricultural College and
Experimental Station, treated of the disease
very exclusively, and cited several cases OF
DIR. Law, State Veterinarian, OF New York, in
bis Investigations upon this disease among
the horses Of the Brooklyn street car line as
early as 1880. he reviewed the history OF the
disease as worked out by a form r United
States veterinarian in the Department OF
Agriculture, and also reviewed the work
that had come under his own personal super
vision, and found that in every case the
| disease In an animal could be traced to its
| having been fed on diseased corn or fodder
| Of some sort. He said that no cases OF this
disease in cltte had been brought 10 his at
tenton. He mentioned also an instance OF a
man at Laurel, Md, who had some diseased
corn, and threw 1t out into his barnyard,
where number OF pigeons ate it, and as a
result most of them died, showing at least
that the disease preyed upon other things be-
sides the horse.
1t was the opinion Of the State Pathologist,
Prof. e. o. Townsend, that the disease ema-
mated from the presence OF spores in grain
and fodder, though it is not known definitely
whether this is the cause or not. DR.. Buckley
described the symptoms Of the disease as
usually noticed, and said that very often al
al ifhal would lie with his nose butted agains
the wal for several minutes, absolutely help
less, with his eyes closed, and then withou
warning n all would suddenly jump up an'
become frantic, making it extremely danger
Gus for any one TO approach the animal.

Accident on the Gunpowder Bridge.

The engine of the so:.thbound freight train,
No. 80, plunged through the open draw on the
bridge which spans the Gunpowder river, on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad, about s O'Clock A. NJ. on Monday.
The road was SO greatly blockaded for several
hours that the many trains Of the Pennsyl-
vania system were compelled to use the tracks
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
MIR. Christopher G. Chapman, who has
charge Of the draw, which is eighty feet wide,
had opened the bridge in order to oil the ma
chinery and was beneath the bridge when the
accident occurred. Engineer Cornelius, who
had charge OF the engine, and his fireman, es-
capped by jumping from the train, and Mr..
CT" man also escaped without II jury. The
train cons sted Of nineteen loaded cars, three
box cars and a caboosc. The signals we're u2

in time. The engine plunged through the

The Farmers Market.

A meeting OF stockholders and others inter
ested in the proposed Farmers Market was
held last week afternoon in the large hall of
the Young Mems Christian Association,
Charles and Saratoga streets, Baltimore. MIR.
Lewis NJ. Bacon, Of Towson, presided. and
Mr.. William l.. Amoss, of Hartford county,
acted as secretary. The stockholders are
Messrs. Thomas b. Todd, of North Point;
Alexander McCorm OK, of Fullerton, yalti-
more county; Alexander Dolield, of Balti-
more city; j. Wilson Moore, of Ha,ford coun-
ty; E. Cuttings Merryman, OF Cockeysville,
and Messrs. Bacon and Amoss.
The meeting was called to consider the
question whether it would be better to aban-
don the project of erecting farmers market
in Baltimore or whether the work should be
pushed to a conclusion. 1t was believed that
the money sufficient to form a company to
erect the necessary building could be raised
among the farmers OF the counties near Balti-
| more, but this has been found impracticable.
For some years the founding of farmers
market in Baltimore has been under discus
sion. During Christmas week, 1895, COM
mittee OF the Faliston Farmers Club, of Har-
/
several farmers clubs in Baltimore, Hartford
and Anne Arundel counties TO accompany the
| Falston Club to Philadelphia and inspect the
| farmers markets in that city. On the return
trip an informal meeting was held, which re-
suited in q permanent committee being ap-
pointed to form company to build a market
house in Baltimore similar to the Ridge Ave
nue. Farmers Market in Philadelphia.
Later four sub committees were appointed
ON location, legislation, rules and bylaws
aud finance. The finance committee recon-
mended that joint stock company be formed
with capital stock of $50, 600, divided into
5000 shares OF $25 each, and that no shares be
sold to anyone not engaged in agriculture un-
til seventy-fve per cent. Of the stock has been
subscribed. Nc action looking to the pur-
chase Of land or the erection OF buildings was
to be taken until 700 had been paid into
the treasury.
board Of directors composed OF twelve
members was then appointed, and this board
has since directed the efforts of the associa-
ton. subscriptions amounting to $4,000
were obtained by these dir ctors and the So
licitors employed by them. Five excursions
to Philadelphia were made in the spring o!
1896 and that OF 1897, which enabled 20t
farmers to see the market of that city. A
bill was passed by the Legislature which CAV,
valuable privileges to the renters of stalls II

board of directors was appointed to see what
could be done with ;he ptid,up subscriptions

better financial condition prevailed. 1t was
in this condition that the aft airs of the COM
pany were when the stockholders met last
week. 1t is believed that there will be no
trouble in raising the required amount of
money, the farmers being enthusiastic in their
desire to have a market of their OWE, at which
they en- sell goods fresh to the consumer
without having to use the middlemen.
The twelve directors, to whom the raising
OF the money has been committed, consist of
the following
