No Fair at Elkfon.

The managers Of the Cecil County Agricul-
tural Society decided on Wednesday not to
hold fair next week, as had been proposed.
The reason for this action is that the public
were showing little interest and sufficient ex-
hibits were not being entered to make sue
cessful exhibition. Last year it was decided
to wind up the affairs of the society. A ma
jority of the stock was held by George s.
Woolley, of Chesapeake City. DIR. Charles NJ.
Ellis, Of Elktou, called the stockholders to
gether and 1t was determined to mortgage the
property, buy Mr.. Woolley's shares and hold
fair. The arrangement was carried out and
the directors incurred considerable expense in
putting the grounds and buildings in good con-
dition, and the prospect for a large and sue
cessful exhibition appeared to be good. The
entry books, however, after being kept open
for several days, showed so few entries that it
was deemed unwise to attempt to hold the
fair.

Disturbance at a Colored Church.

DISTURBANCE at - SOtOTSu NhuEch.
disturbance took place al a colored church
near Kalmia, known as Clark's Chapel, last
Sunday afternoon, which threatened to end In
a riot. AS result warrants were issued for
the arrest of Edward Williams, charged with
disturbing religious worship, carrying con-
cealed weapons and assaulting Elijah White
with intent to kill. Warrants were also is sued
for Elijah White, Andrew White and Walter
Waters, on the charge Of assaulting Edward
Williams. Each waived hearing, through
their attorneys, Me:srss William II. Harlan
and Edwin Fl. Webster, and were released on
security for the November grand jury. The
origin of the difficulty appeared to be the deter
mination of Williams to enter the enclosure
IN which village camp meeting was being
held without paying tie admission fee, and an
attempt upon the part of the others to eject
him. One or two of the parties appeared to
have been very roughly handled.

DEATH SENTENCE For YOUNG,
For the Murder of Edward Lee.
BUSH GETS FIVE YEARS IN THE
PENITENTIARY.
Motion for New Trial overruled.


The Gases To Go a.. the court III APP
pca,S.
On Wednesday Judge Walters heard mo-
tioBs for u new trial and for arrest of judg-
mert in the case Of Joseph Young and Joseph
Bush, both coloreh. who were tlied Jointly
ani found guilty., in the Circuit Court for
Hartford countg, last week, Of the murder of
Edward Lee, coloreG. OF August gotta. al the
Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad Station Bel
Air. Tao jury found Young guilty of murder
in tie first degree and Bush guilty of murder
il the second degree.
The case was argued by Messrs Gilbert s..
Hawkins aud Harold Scarhoro for the Prison
CTS ard By Mcss:s Matter ". Preston aud tx
Judge George Y. Mayrader for the State.
Judge Walters overruled The motion for a
new trial aud pronounced the death sentence
upon Young. In performing this solemn
duty Judge Walters ras deeply affected. Tie
prisoner VAS required TO stand up AID hold up
his right hand, wheG judge Walters said:
The sentence Of the Court is: That you,
Joseph Young, be taken hence to the jail
from which you came ana there be Kept in the
custody of the Sheriff Of Harford county until
the time which shall be fixed by the Governor
Of Maryland for the execution OF this SET
teEca. Upon the day 50 fixed by the Cover
10. of MarT AID you shall be taken by tie
sheriff of Hs!fcrd county to the place pre-
pared by him and then fud there banged by
tie neck unit! you are dead"
Young bore his awful sentence with remark
able composure and did not appear to realize
the position inwnich he stood. After sentsuce
was pronounced he sal down quietly, but upon
being taken back to jail he became exceeding
" nervous aud frightened.
BUSH was sentenced to FIVE years in the
penitentiary. He was apparently more moved
than Young, but doubtless was relieved to
know that he had received the lightest SEN
teGce permitted by law for the crime of which
he had been found guilty,
Messrs. Hawkins and Scarboro then made
a motion for appeal to the highest court in the
State, and Clerk Forwood was directed to
make up the record The ground for appeal
was that Mr.. j. Pearl Wilson, one of the jury
men before whom the case was tri d. was fore.
man Of the coroner's inquest which investigat-
ed the shooting and he was therefore IN
qualified as a juror. In their arguments Mr..
Preston, for the State, as well as Mr. Scarboro,
for the dsfeuce, stated to the Court that tie
point has never been decided, so far as they
knew, in any State. 1t may be several months
befores the case is heard by the Court of Az
peals

occurred about August q, upon the property
