That Railway Franchise.-On Wednesday
the County Commissioners heard argument by
Mr. Isaac Lobe Straus, representing Mr.. K. s.
Carswell and others interested in the Mary
land Electric Company, who are applying for
q railway franchise on the Old Philadelphia
road Application has also been filed for a
similar franchise by the Baltimore, Gunpow-
der and Havre-de Grace Electric Railway Com
pany. The citizens in the vicinity of the pro-
posed route are anxious that line of some
sort be established there, and care little to
whom the franchise is granted so that rail-
way is built Permission to build one on this
road has been granted before, and the time of
construction extended from time to time, but
it is claimed now all these grants and extern
sions have lapsed by the expiration of the time
limit Mr.. Straus asked that the time of con-
struction named in the late franchises and ex-
tensions given to the Maryland Electric Rail
way be extended eighteen months. The
Board, after listening to the arguments, decided
that the hearing should not be closed, owing
to the enforced absence of the representatives
of the Baltimore and Gunpowder Railroad
Company, Col. D. G. Mcintosh and others, but
thatit would be continued next Tuesday, when
it will be taken up and finally disposed of.

driven by Harry Johnson. The first heat was
won by Neitz in 2:2S4 the second by Frieden-
valid, in 2:30, and the third by Neitz in 2:29.
The heats were very exciting and were much
enjoyed by the crowd, among whom were a
number of friends of Mr. Neitz, who came
out from the city especially to see the race.
Among the spectators was Mr.. b. H. Demer-
est one of the best known horsemen in the
country. Before leaving for Baltimore Mr..
Demerest made handsome offer for Nellie
Bly,, which Mr.. Friedenwald refused, as be
intends to develop her for track purposes. The
race was trotted under the rules of the National
Association. The judges were John Morrissey,
of Cumberland Thomas Roach, of Washing
ton, and B. B. Friedenwald.

Hartford Fire Insurance Company.-The
Belair Democrat of this week says 1.-THE an
nual report of the president and directors of
the Hartford Fire Insurance Company at its
December meeting, Monday last, should be
gratifying to all the members. Notwithstand-
ing the losses from fire during the year have
been near $50, 900, they have as far as adjusted,
all been paid and the company has to its credit
a surplus in cash and marketable securities
near $4,000.
MANY new policies have been written and
more old ones adjusted. reducing the risks and
increasing the notes sufficiently to anticipate
$35, 600 income from interest during the first
year of the twentieth century.
"Col. o. s. Lee, S. A. Williams and K. II.
Hall were appointed a committee to consider
such changes as may be desired in the bylaws
of the company and report to the January
meeting"

ABOUT CATCHING COLD.
Cincinnati Gazette

Ct7lctfHQL1 6d<etN.
Cold weather lowers the vitality and in that
way renders the body less able to resist the eff
feet on the outside conditions. This so makes
the system liable to be stormed by microbes.
Pneumonia invariably attacks people whose
vitality is lowered from some cause or other
excessive exertion, excessive worry, even ex-
ceSsive grief which is very potent factor in
the lowering vitality. Sometimes neglected
cold will help to produce the disease and so
will the missing meal while oneis more or less
run down through the strain of business or
other excitement. In the ordinary way, pneu-
monia by itself does rot prove fatal, except in
the case of very old or very youEg people.
The danger arises when it is complicated by
heart or kidney disease. If these organs are
healthy at the time that the disease sets in, the
patient invariably RECEIVERS, unless he has ex-
hausted himself at the beginning OF the at
tack by being about the house when he should
have been in bed
1t has been found by experience that while
the harmful microbes grow in the mouth,
many others also have their habitation there
whose offices are to protect the body as it were,
from these microscopic foes. In the winter
these "benefcent microbes" as they have
been called do not flourish to the same extent
as they do in warmer weather, 80 that the mouth
and through the mouth, the rest of the body,
is left without its protectors and if the indi-
vidual does not by care come to the rescue of
his body, be renders himself liable to be at
tackled not the less seriously because his foes
are invisible While the ordinary "benefi-
cent" microbe does not flourish in cold weather
so WELL the microbe of pneumonia does, and
grows active at a temperature which is practi-
cally fatal to others.
That is the scientific solution of how one
catches cold. How to cure it Ask the first
man you meet.
AMONG 6OOO,0 900 passengers carried only 2O6
persons lost their lives on steamboat vessels
within the jurisdiction of the United States
during the past fiscal year, of which Al were
passengers and 1852 members of the crews.
During the same year there were 1888 boierex-
plosions on land, which killed 29S persons and
wounded 456 others.
Mr.. TowNE, of Minnesota, who has just
been appointed U. s. Senator, seems to have
no settled political convictions. First he was
a Republican, then silverite, and now he
proclaims himself to be an old-fashioned
Democrat.

ization.-A number of Mary land gentlemen
interested in the breeding of Jersey cattle held
meeting at the Carrollton Hotel, Baltimore,
on Thursday last to promote the interests of
this particular breed and as far as possible to
improve its standard in this State. The Jersey
men have been thinking of an organization
for some time, and appointed A. B. Gardiner,
Jr., s. M. Shoemaker, Frederick Won Kapf,
J. E. Webster and II. j. Patterson commit
tee to work up the matter.
The meeting was the result of the efforts of
these gentlemen, and they expect much good
to result The first thing done after getting
together was the selection of name, and the
Maryland Jersey Cattle Breeders Association
was decided upon. A constitution was adopted
setting forth the objects of the body and the
means by which it hopes to accomplish its
purposes. The following were elected officers
for the first year:
President-Frederick Won Kapff of Balti-
more county.
-President-Joseph T. Hopes, of Har-
Secretary-Asa B. Gardiner, Jr., of Balti-
more county.
Treasurer-Samuel NJ. Shoemaker, of Balti-
more county.
1t was determined to hold an annual meet
ing December of each year, but there will also
be meeting open to all farmers some time
during the spring. 1t is thought that exhibit
tons in the spring will increase the interest in
Jerseys among the farmers and that more of
them may be induced to stock their farms
with pure bred cattle instead of the miscellane-
Gus stock now so abundant. Besides these
meetings it is intended to hold others from
time to time at the call of the executive COM
mittee, which will be named later.
Mr.. Valancey E. Fuller, secretary of the
American Jersey Cattle Club, read an interest
ing paper on the value of Jerseys and the re-
newed activity of late among the breeders.
Ex-senator Edward Burnett, of Massachusetts,
also read paper.
Messrs. Lewis NJ. Bacon and Alex. Y. Carr,
of Baltimore county, also attended the meeting,
and Hartford, Frederick, Montgomery, Cecil
and Prince Georges counties were represented.

Said County Man Should Have Il =
While in Baltimore on Tuesday Gov. Smith
spoke about the appointment of road en-
gineer for Baltimore county, as provided for by
the new road law. He said:
Under the law creating this office the APP
pointment will have to be made by January l.

the position being o most important one.
shall be ready to make the appointment in
due time. There are q number of applicants
for the place. l am waiting for the County
Commissioners of Baltimore county to center
upon some individual.
1.-The law requires that the person named
for this position shall be graduate and a
holder of diploma as civil engineer. While
the law does not make it mandatory that the
engineer be a resident of Baltimore county,
naturally prefer to select someone from that
locality. The appointment could be made
from any place in the State or in the United
States"

the executors.

Bryan Democrats Ready to Take tho Ad.
mirsl Into Their Fold.
CEycAGo, April 16. Bryan Democrats
have decided to welcome Admiral
Dewey into the Democratic party. Such
is the position officially outlined in the
Democratic press bulletin.
eve may accept the admiral's dec.
laration of his political faith as indicat-
ing that he is with the Democratic
party at least on an overwhelming
majority Of the issues it has taken up"
runs the article which is from the pen
OF Willis J. Abbott, head of the Demo-
cratic literary bureau.
''This is most gratifying fact" the
article continues. 1T indicates that
should the Democratic party, after ma.
ture deliberation deny to the admiral
the nomination which he seeks, it may,
nevertheless, count on his hearty CO
operation and his influence in behalf OF
its efforts to end the evils of Mckinley
ism by ending the reign Of Emperor
William l."
In commenting on the purport of hi:
article, Mr.. Abbott said:
1--WE are naturally delighted at the
prospect of such distinguished acquisi
tion to our ranks as Admiral Dewey
but Of course we expect the admiral te
play fair and accept the good old Dem
ocratic doctrine of abiding by the result
Of an honest Democratic convention"

Now Certain That the senator From Mon.
tann VIII Not KesiYn His Seat.
BUTTE. Mon, April l6.-The Inter.
Mountain, upon advices from the East,
says:
1T is now certain that Senator Clark
will not resign. The pressure from his
Montana friends and legal advice is in
favor Of continuing the contest. Sena-
tors Clay. Mason, Bacon and Heitfeld
will make fight on the floor OF the
senate. claiming that two-thirds vote
is necessary to unseat him. They claim
that the report Of the committee does
not sustain the direct charge of bribery
against him. They will expose the
character and plans of his enemies and
he will doubtless make a speech III his
own behalf. This policy will prevent
appointment by the governor and may
lead to the election Of two Republican
senator's, SO q majority opposition to de-
lay is not expected. Senator Mason
will conduct the fight for Clark"
