Mr.. Merryman's Exhibit at the York
| Fair-The Baltimore SUMS letter from York
says zone of the most interesting exhibits at
the fair. and one which attracts much atten-
ton from ladies and children, is the incubators
exhibited by the S. Howard Merryman Man
ufacturing Company of Towson, Baltimore
county In order that the young chicks which
these incubators produce daily may be protec-
ted from the weather the managers assigned
Mr.. Merryman place in the building devoted
to the exhibition of stoves. Mr.. Merryman
has a lot of chickens about two days old,
which are as lively as crickets and occupy
every moment picking for something to eat.
While large number of children was crowd
ing around the incubators watching the antics
of the orphan chickens lady remarked to the
children that those little chickens had no
mother. A general expression of sorrow was
apparent in the countenances of the children,
who wanted to know how could such things
be, especially as the chicks seemed to be so
lively and happy without a mother. The
children seemed to be very much mystified
when it was explained to them how these lit
tie chickens came into the world. They
laughed incredulously as the explanation was
made. Mr.. Merryman attends his exhibit in
person, and is kept busy answering many ques-
tons about the mode of raising chickens"
The Baltimore County Supervisors
Case.-A letter from Annapolis, dated Octo-
Der 4th, saws: 1.-The Court of Appeals heard
argument today in the case of Thomas M.
Hill. Purnell F. Sappington, and Purnell +.
Sappington, individually against William A.
Slade and Charles H. Wise. The appeal was
taken from an order of the Circuit Court for
Baltimore county, dismissng the petition OF
Hill and Sappington that writ OF mandamus
issue against William A. Slade and Charles HI.
Wise, and is raised to determine if the Gov
ernor, on May 81, 1900, during. the recess of
the Legislature, had legal right to appoint
Charles H. Wise supervisor OF election OF
Baltimore county. Wise had been appointed
by the Governor during the session of the
Legislature and confirmed by the Senate, but
failed to qualify. He was then reappointed
after the Legislature had adjourned. Wise
took the oath of office on June 18th, and since
that time there have been two contendlng
boards of supervisors in Baltimore county, one
composed of Thomas NJ. Hill and Purnell F..
Sappington and the other of VIM. A. Slade
and Charles H. Wise, which have attempted
to perform the duties of supervisors of acc
ton" The opinion of the Court was reserved.
Bill for Road Repairs.-Mr w. w Elliott,
as agent for Mr.. George Brehm, was bsfore the
County Commissioners on Wednesday with
bill for rs for repairs said to have been
made on a road in the 18th district known as
Brehm's lane. This is a short roa 4, about $50
yards in length, near Brehm's brt very. The
circumstances under which the contract in
volving these charges was entered into by the
Commissioners seem to be shrouded in mystic
ry. 1t was made some years ago when road
supervisor who has since died-Edward Kras-
tel-had charge of the roads in that district.
1t is alleged. however, that the Commission
ers agreed with Mr.. Brehm, and that he sane
toned the agreement under which he was to
be allowed to expend $50 year on this road.
The present Board of Commissioners know
nothing of the matter and say that they do not
oalx 10 hn
They object to the expenditure of so much
money on such short piece of road. There
was a record to show that other Boards of
Commissioners had recognized the agreement
and had made payments under it. The Board
finally agreed to meet the road supervisor of the
district on the ground and inspect the road.
