Jarrett was promptly summoned and found
Hines unconscious and paralyzed on the right
side DR.. John Barron, of Govanstown, was
also summoned, but the bullet was not located
by them until the next morning, when it was
removed from the back of the neck. The
wound is serious one, but it is thought Hines
will recover. 1t is thought the shooting was
done with suicidal intent, although Hines says
he has no recollection of shooting himself.
The pistol used is small one, otherwise the
shot would no doubt have proved fatal.

The "Feefth Deestrict" in a Bad Way
On Tuesday last Lewis Gorsuch, road super
visor for the 9th district, applied to the County
Commissioners for money with which to re-
pair some of his roads. He was surprised to
learn that the appropriation for roads, for that
district for the past year was 81 893 and that 3d.
GO0h already been drawn. Chief Clerk Green
Informed the Board that as much money as
was paid in the 5th district for taxes was spent
upon the schools alone, and that the money
spent upon the roads and for other purposes
came out of the general fund. The same con-
lition of affairs, he said, exists in the I'd, 9th,
9TH, 10th and 18th districts.

Proposed Amendments to the Present
Road lava number of Baltimore county
taxpayers held a meeting in Baltimore, on
Friday of last week, and discussed the pro-
posed amendments to the road laws of the
county. The principal features of the amend
ments are:
To have three Road Commissioners who
must be taxpayers, appointed for each district.
with nominal salaries, TO act in the place of
the one Road Supervisor appointed for each
district as at present, the roads in the districts
to be equally divided into three sections.
The employment of a civil engineer to pre-
pare specifications for repairing, improving
and the building of roads.
The amendments, with some minor modifi-
cations, met with approval.

The Road Will be Broad-Gauged This
Year.-A special meeting of the stockholders
of the BALTIC. 81 Lehigh Railroad was held in
Baltimore, on Tuesday last, and unanimously
adopted suggestion from the board of direc-
tors that the entire line be broad gauged from
Baltimore to the Pennsylvania State line, a
distance of forty-three miles. The standard
four feet eight and one half-inch gauge will be
used, and the entire distance will be relaid
with seventy pound steel rails; Improvements
will be made to trestling, and several curves
will be Strengthened. The meeting authorized
the expenditure of $3.50, 900, and in addition to
voting favorably on the proposition to i'm
prove, entrusted the board of directors with
the accomplishment of the work after the best
manner and with the least possible delay in
any way they may choose The unlimited
power except in the maximum expenditure,
will pass to the hands of the executive COM
mittee of the directorate, which includes
Messrs. w. w. Spence, Alexander Brown and
George c. jenkins, and under their direction
plans will at once be perfected for placing the
road on physical basis worthy of an unusual
financial success, dating from the assumption
of control by the present management, now
five years since
Mr.Spence said of the proposed improvement
that it was the outcome of effort along SINH
lar line, which has been made for some time,
and that the affairs of the road at present more
than justify such an expenditure. The re-
quireG money will, in all probability, be Sc
cured on loan covered by mortgage, and
there will be no trouble about getting it, since
the road is in healthy financial condition,
does not owe a dollar and has a substantial
sum to its credit.
