mony took place on Saturday, October
9Th, in Washington, D. c. The groom

On Wednesday an injunction was
issued out of the Circuit Court for Har-
ford county by the Havre deGrace Water.
Company against the Mayor and City
Council of that city, to restrain the latter
from arresting workmen who are now en-
gagged in laying water mains in the streets
of the corporation. The City on Wednes-

at work and stopped all the improve
ments which are now being made.
A large frame barn situated on the
property of the late Joseph Harlan, near
Fallston, caught on fire on Thursday
of last week and was burned to the
ground. 1t contained number of farm
ing implements belonging to the tenant
Mr.. H. w. H Jones, which were de-
stroyed together with about twenty
tons of hay and lot of wheat. The ORR
gin of the fire is unknown but is supposed
to have been caused by an accident. The
building was insured in the Farmers Fire
Company, of York, and the contents in
the Hartford Mutual Company.
Sheriff Kinhart has received a letter
from w. O. McCorkle, of Harrisonburg,
Virginia, making inquiry in regard to the
dead body, which was found by Mr..
Wildason, near Bel Air, last Saturday
evening. Mr.. McCorkle's son disappear
ed from his home on September I'd. He
left ostensibly for Newport, Virginia. and
had about $40 on his person. He
was about six feet tall, twenty-five
years of age, ruddy complexion and had
on gold watch. AS the man found does
not tally with this description Sheriff
Kinhart informed Mr.. McCorkle that he
did not think this was his son.

On Wednesday evening of last week
as the five o'clock train on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was nearing Aberdeen,
man by the name of Seeley, who is said
to be from New Jersey, dashed through
one of the cars fourishing razor. He
threatened to kill some one and the con-
ductor jokingly suggested that he had
better experiment on himself. To the
horror of those sitting around he acted
upon the suggestion and cut his throat
from ear to ear. He was at once taken
to Baltimore for medical treatment but
died before his arrival 1t is supposed
that he had been drinking to excess and
was crazed at the time.
The activity in registration this fall
has been greater than has been known
for years. The Democrats feel particular
ly jubilant over the result In Bel Air
precinct alone there were over two Demo.
Gratis enrolled for each Republican and a
large majority of the latter were negroes.
The Republicans had some unpleasant
surprises in store for them when the list
heretofore been almost impossible to get
at the location of the colored brethren
but the splendid system employed showed
many names which were improperly upon
the registration books. They have been
thoroughly purged and present a much
cleaner appearance than many of their
predecessors.
1--WE knew that the fame of Towson
had spread all over the country, and
probably had reached the Antipodes, but
were not aware that it had a general
reputation for unhealthiness, or that
it's fame in this respect was so far reach
ing and generally known. 1t is stated
that one of the lady delegates who at
tended the recent convention the Middle
District Baptist Association, held in
Calvary Baptist Church, brought a
bottle of water with her, as she feared
contamination from Towson's drinking
water. "-TowsoN JOURNAL. That's
nothing. Weknow of a Bel Air gentleman
who recently visited the county seat of
Baltimore county and actually carried
bottle of local option ambrosia with him
because the Towson beer was so tough.
The Baltimore Sun surprised it's
many readers by issuing Sunday edition
on October 9Th. This will hereafter be
regular feature of the newspaper. The
departure is quite radical one for con-
sentative journal like our esteemed con-
temporary to make and created much
curiosity to see how the first edition
would appear. So far as we can learn
every one seemed very much pleased with
the absence of yellow journalism and the
paper is not unlike the rest of the regular
issue. Despite the protest ofmany pious
persons the Sunday newspaper seems to
have its field ofusefulness and has become
more and more a recognized necessity in
these modern times. If we must have
Sunday newspapers, we know ofno more
capable hands into which the duty could
have fallen than those of the editorial
staff of our Metropolis Luminary.
Horace D. Baker, alias George P.
Sage, who is well but not favorably
known to the residents of this county
was released from the Maryland Peniten-
tiary on Thursday of last week. 1t will
be remembered that he came to Bel Air
about six years ago and won the conf
dence of many of the leading citizens.
He stated his purpose to be to purchase
several farms in the vicinity of Deer Greek
and form settlement of dairymen who
expected to engage in the manufacture
of butter. He made an agreement to
purchase the Indian Spring Farm" and
it was on this transactit that he de-
