The Sheriff Will Not Accept.-Sherif
0elgrath says that he will not accept the terms
for feeding the prisoners in the Jail offered by
the County Commissioners, as stated in THE
UNION last week, but will insist upon carrying
out the letter and spirit of the law, which al.
lows the sheriff &c cents per day for board of
each prisoner. He states that he does not in
tend to starve the prisoners but to treat them
in accordance with the rule of Christian civili-
zation and, at least, accord to them the neces-
saries of life. Continuing Sheriff Oeligrath
said: The presumption of the law is that a
man is innocent until he is proven guilty, and
often innocent men have laDguishedin Jail for
months, and it is. therefore, not right that
prisoners should not be properly fed. / can
not place an estimate on what the cost of feed
ing prisoners will be in year, because do
not know how many prisoners will be under
my care. There is also unlocked for emergen-
cies which arise. For instance, Twas required
recently to furnish prisoner with clothing.
l shall endeavor to do my duty. The prisoners
are committed to my care and 1 shall see that
they are treated humanely."

victim of peculiar accident yesterday after
noon, and as result be is now under the care
of a physician, being treated for fractured
elbow and a sprained ankle. Mr.. Schumacher
ran out of Posfoffice Station d, on the Fred
erick road in an effort to catch car which
had passed, going east. In his haste he did
not notice a horse tied to post which stood
directly in his path, and ran into the chain
with which the animal was tied. The force of
the collision threw him back into the road,
SCATTERING an elbow and breaking an ankle.
He was removed to his home on Walrad ave-
nue.. and his injuries were dressed by DR.. Lewis
Gundry.- Baltimore Herald, Tuesday.

Mr.. and Mrs. Miles Have a Close Call
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Miles, who live near Phi
lopolis, Sth district, made very narrow escape
from what might have been serious accident
on Monday evening last. They were driving
from their home to attend an entertainment at
Epworth Me. Church, Cockeysville, and while
in the act of crossing the N. G. r. R. tracks
near the church the engine of north bound
passenger train struck their horse and threw
him some distance, the shafts, fortunately, be-
coming detached from the vehicle, which was
upset and the occupants thrown out. Friends
were soon at hand to render assistance and Mr..
and Mrs. Miles, both of whom were much
shocked but not otherwise injured, were taken
to the home of Mr.. Alex. D. Brooks, near by,
where they received every attention. The
horse was instantly killed and the buggy badly
wrecked. 1t is thought the breaking off of
the shafts was all that saved Mr.. and Mrs
Miles.
