Mr.. William j. Shsnahsn the clerk in the
tflice of Mr.. George Il. Cuirues, secretary to
the Mutual Insurance Company, had short
bnt exciting experience last week. lie was
en- his way to his home near Benson, and had
reached small thicket about one hundred
yards from his gate when two men spramg
from the uuderbrush, one Of them attempting
to grasp the bride of his horse. Fortunately
Mr.. Shanahan was holding his whip In his
hand and he struck the animal he was riding
blow which made him start into gait which
left the assailants behind. When he reached
his gate which was usually left open for
him, he found it Unexpectedly shut, compel.
ling him to dismount to open 1t. He dis.
covered that 1t had been tied to the post with
tarred rope, but he succeeded in effecting an
entrance before the men were able to reach
the place. The night was too dark for Mr..
Shanahan to be able to identify either Of the
men, although suspicion points strongly
toward cert ain parties. Upon returning home
from Bel Air on Thursday, he found the gate
again shut and tied.

The american OF Friday publishes the fol-
from Hartford:
0ne OF those scenes common enough when
appropriations are in order was enacted in
the House shortly before midnight last night.
The Omnibus bill, which had been prepared
by the Ways and Means Committee after
listening to hundreds of delegations during
the session, and during which contained sums
appropriated for the charitable and penal in
situations, was on its second reading and was
open to amendment. 1t was the opportune
moment for members who had been disap-
| pointed in not having included in the bill the
amounts for which they and their constitu-
ents had asked. They came forth with
am endment after amendment to incorporate
| in the bill the amounts they wanted. At
| first the amendments were for small sums,
and slipped through without much friction.
Gradually the amounts grew larger, and
| General Latrobe, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, protested. Then he
pleaded, but he pleaded in vain. The House
was seized with spirit Of reckless extrava-
gance. In five minutes 1t added $34, 600 to the
sum provided for by the committee. Again
General Latrobe pleaded. Mr.. Martin Leh-
mayer and Mr.. Kembley, Of Cecil, added their
voices to the protest. 1t was an opportune
moment for arousing the House to it's total
disregard Of economy, and Mr.. Noble L..
| Mitchell OF Hartford, was the man for the oc-
cssion. He is quiet, sedate, Woodworking
| member, vino keeps In close touch with every
move in the House. he was fully aroused,
and in impassioned tones he implored the
House to halt in its wild expenditures. He
reminded the Democratic members OF their
pledge to economy. He told them that II the
extravaganza be continued the state tax-rate
would have to be increased TO provide funds
with which to meet the demands upon the
State treasury. Following Mr.. Mitchell's
eloquent:appeal came demand for the yeaa
and nays on every amendment, to which
Speaker Wilkinson gave his hearty approval.
The change in the House was instantaneous.
Not only was every amendment promptly and
overwhelmingly defeated, but an amendment
which had passed, granting $4,000 for new
schoolhouse at La Plata, Charles county, wat
considered and defeated.
