when Messrs. Hill and Sappington walked in
with their clerk, w. w. G. Stewart, and also
proceeded to business. They had not gone far
when Thomas J. Hunter, the clerk to the
Democratic Board, called Mr.. SHADES attention
to the fact that the business of the Board was
being interrupted. Mr.. Slade directed Deputy
Sheriff Burke to remove Mr.. Stewart and DR..
Sappington from the room.
The deputy sheriff laid his hand on the
shoulder of the Republican clerk and led him
to the door. The latter continued reading the
minutes as he passed out. DR.. Sappington
was also escorted from the room. President
Slade said that the other Republican supervi-
sor, Mr.. Hill, was recognized, and he could re-
main and take part in the proceedings. Mr..
Hill remained seated for a few minutes, but at
the request of DIR. Sappington, afterwards left
the room. The Democratic Board then re-
sumed its session without further interruption.
The Republican Board held meeting after
being elected. The clerk was directed to write
to the persons appointed as registers and request
them to qualify. The Board declines at pres
ent to make public the names of the appoin-

of the president.
Both Boards have notified the superinten-
dent of Towson postal station not to deliver
any mail matter to the other, and the superin-
tendent has asked the department what course
he shall pursue in the premises.
