A YOUNG CANN|BEL.
A Two Year Old Child Attacks an In
fant With Ferociousness.

The two-year-old child of Mr.. Chas.
Bullin. residing at Eastpou, attack
ed the nine ne-days-old infant asleep in the
bed yesterday afternoon and bit its nose
and cheeks in shocking manner. II
appears that the father was out milking
the COW and the mother. who had re-
Gently been confined. got from the bed
to get something from the next room,
when the little two-year-old boy closed
the door on her. and fastened her in the
room.
The child then got upon the bed and
began to chew the baby's face. and be-
fore the mother was released from her
imprisonment. or the father could cone
to the rescue, the infants face was hor-
ribly mutilated. DIR. VIM. s. Welch, OF
Annapolis, was sent for to dress the
wounds. The Doctor found the infants
face horribly lacerated. and fears of blood
poison will set in, in which case the iniu-
iies will prove fatal. No cause is assign
ed for the act other than the usual tanta-
lining of children by mothers when a
new born infant arrives. about the nose
being out of joint. &C.. which is said 10
have caused a jealousy IN the mind of
the older child. and it sought the first
opportunity to seek revenge.

WAR ON GATES.
They Must Swing on the Inside And
Not on the Street.


The City Commissioner is instructed 10
enforce The law on property owners
whose gates to their front and side yards
open on the street,to have them changed
so as TO open on the inside of their yards.
This will incur considerable expense to
those whose front yards are enclosed
with an iron fence. but as the law applies
to all gates opening on the street it must
be enforced on all alike. as the commits
matter. Several persons who have re-
cent?, put up new fences to their proper
ty, and were ignorant OF the law, have
been notified to change the swinging Of
their gates. but they refuse to do so un-
less the law is enforced on all. This. the
commissioner says will be done, and we
may look for general reversal of the
opening OF the gates on the streets. The
enforcement of the law was brought about
by the complaint of citizens running
against iron gates constantly left open on
the public streets. The law also applies
20 porches projecting over certain dis.
tance over the sidewalk. Carpenters ana
builders who should be acquainted with
the building laws OF the city. should in
form property holders OF the violation
OF the law before they do the work and
not put them at this expense. 1t viii no
doubt cause a hue and cry among those
who will be put TO this expense. but the
law must be enforced on all alike, or
there will be general protest. Itmay be
a very unpleasant duty for the City Com
missioner TO perform, but he must obey
orders or break masters.
