JUDGMENT RENDERED.
JOS. o. FOWLER VS.. THOS.
H. ARNOLD.
An Interesting Case From Circuit Court Oh
Anne Arundel County Decided As
To Rights And Duties
Of Sheriffs.

In the case OF Joseph o. Fowler VS.
Thomas II. Arnold, the Court of Appeal:
has just affirmed the judgment of the
Circuit Cour, for Anne Arundel county,
which gave MIR. Fowler judgment.
The case decides some questions which
are very important TO sheriffs and con.
stables, as we'll as to litigants. In a
preceding case Wilson VS.. Fowler, IS
Maryland Reports p 6e3) the Court OF
Appeals decided that an execution, issued
from the Court, to enforce a judgment,
could be levied on the judgment debtor S
growing crop of peaches, but that the
Sheriff was responsible in damages to the
owner of the peaches. il he proceeded in
an oppressive manner in carrying out the
levy and was responsible also for making
an excessive levy.
In this case the Court OF Appeals de-
cides, however, that If the Sheriff carries
out the orders OF the plaintiff in making
such levy and in the manner OF dealing
with what he has levied upon, the plain
tiff in the judgment and execution is
bound to protect the Sheriff from loss.
Accordingly, although Fowler was COM
PEELED in the former case to pay Wilson
tor the losses sustained by Wilson in his
peach crop whilst it was subjected to the
levy (for the levy was finally dismissed
against the peaches without salel, yet the
Court holds in the latter case that Arnold
must reimburse Fowler (the Sheriff. for
what ne was so compelled TO pay, mas
much as the Sheriff acted in the matter
entirely under Arnold's instructions.
Sometimes, if he is in doubt as to his
duty. the Sheriff requires the judgment
plaintiff, whose execution he is about to
levy, TO give him bond of indemnity
but the Court holds in this case that a
brONliSe 10 indemnify the Sheriff from loss
Is to be understood and implied, in cases
where the Sheriff carries out the instruct
ions OF the plaintiff in what is done under
the writ of execution. Another import
ant matter decided by the Court in the
case is this: The provisions of the Code
in Article 80, Section 8, "Sales and No
tices," the Court says. do not apply to
cases OF levying on perishable crops.
These provisions, says the Court, "as
to ten days notice, as well as the sup
posed requirement that the sale should
be made Tn the county whele the goods
are located when seized in execution,
cannot be applied to perishable crop OF
peaches. Ii would be the duty of the
Sheriff to ask and obtain from the Co@t
authority tor an immediate sale at such
place as it could be affected to the best
advantage to all parties interested" This
ruling OF the Court OF Appeals is espsc-
tally important in our county. where fruit
and vegetables form so large part OF
the staple crops raised. and it will intro
duce an entirely new practice in the man
ner in which growing crops can be made
responsible and available in satisfyin a
judgment against their owner. Mr.. Jas.
M. Munroe appeared in the case for Mr..
Arnold, and Mr.. J. Writ Randall repre-
sented Mr.. Fowler.

ANNAPOLIS. MONDAY,
Another CRY Of The Wolf.

Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning an
alarm OF fire was sounded from all the
engine houses in town, and from the
church towers. When the firemen and
apparatus reached the spot it was found
that their services were not required. the
same old story OF alarms for nothing
The FIRE, sligh one, was caused by a
chimney on lower East street that want
ed cleaning. II was soon extinguished.
Annapolis needs better fire alarm sys-
tenn, and telephone connection to the
fire department throughout. The re-
peaied alarms to fires that are of no con
sequence is the old fable and the cry OF
the wolf repeated. FiTemen who re
spond to these false alarms will soon
weary of them. and when a real serious
fire occurs there will be found no one to
lend assistance.

To Incorporate or Annex.

A meeting has been called tonight by
the residents OF Eastport to consider the
question OF annexation and incorporation.
Eastport has a population OF about goo.
and the question of being an incorpora-
ted town, and annexed 10 Annapolis has
oeen talked over for some time past. 1t
is not likely that the residents OF Eastport
will consent to bsing annexed to Annap-
oils now that the city is bonded for $780,
600, unless Annapolis can offer some
such inducements as steel bridge across
the Spa, water. and the exemption from
city taxes for some years to come. East
port may want city privileges but these
come high, and her residents will care
fully consider running her head into a
moose that may tighten about her neck
and throttle her financial existence.

deal.
THE plan now is to begin working the
entire fleet under Admiral Dewey in per-

A HIGHWAY ROBBERY CASE.
Will Powell VIII Have Another Hear
Ing Next Saturday-PoweIl's Father.

The case against Will Powell has again
been set for next Saturday at 10 o'clock
when Judge Feagin will hear the balance
of the evidence on the charge of highway
robbery. Yesterday afternoon the judge
heard some evidence to the effect that
Powelrs father had attempted to tamper
with the witnesses since the trial last
week, but the evidence was not sufficient
to warrant him trying charge against
the elder Powell.
Mr.. Powell explained that he came in
Saturday night from a trip, and his wife
told him that VIII had been arrested. He
then began investigating the matter and
went to see several witnesses, not to try
and bride them or to persuade them to
swear differently before Judge Feagin
Gut to get the facts in the case from
them.
Judge Feagin stated that he would
hear further evidence in regard to the
action of Mr.. Powell before any charges
were made against him. Detective Wal
drop stated yesterday afternoon that he
had fixed charge Of stealing benches
from the pavilion on Will Powell.

The burglars are still in the city. They
have burglarized four saloons in the last
twenty-four hours and the residence OF
one preacher. Yesterday morning the po-
lice were called to the house Of the Rev
J. W. Hendricks at Avenue II ana
Twentieth street, to get the description Of
a negro who had opened the front door
and stolen an overcoat and two hats. A
short while afterwards Policeman Todd
arrested Howard King. negro, and
charged him with the offense.
Sam Russell went to his saloon near
Twenty-second street and Avenue A yes
terday morning about 4:1b o'clock and dis
covered that negro had broken in the
window and stolen four quarts Of whisky
and 81. 40 In change.
The Inn saloon on Twentieth street be-
tween Avenues C and D was also bur-
glarized about the same time, and yes
terday morning when it was opened three

Anna Held.

Costumes, scenery, calcium and tuneful
airs fascinated sixteen hundred and forty
eight playgoers at the Jefferson last
night, and Anna Held exclaimed with
julius Caesar. "veni, vidi, vici.'
Miss Held is truly a charming little
woman, and though she lays no claims to
being a great actress and never expects
to star in grand opera, her audiences are
dazzled. Her slurring French accent and
masterfully directed glances, to say moth
ing of her knowledge of the art of dress
ing, will keep her before the footlights
for many years to come.
The presentation of the Little
Duchess" Is a work of art, and nothing
known to stagecraft in producing pleasing
effects has been left undone. The songs
are new. simple and sweet, and scores
of imitators went away whistling 1.-THE
Maid with the Dreamy Eyes"
Anna Held is not the whole show by
any means. Joseph w. Herbert, the lead
ing comedian, as a bathing master and a
hero made a decided hit. He was ably
assisted by Hubert Wilke, George Marion
and Knox Wilson, who kept the fun going
for more than two hours. The latter
musical turn was one of the cleverest hits
of the evening.
The Little Duchess is a musical ex-
travaganza, and lays no claim to plot
or unity. Its object is to introduce as
many pretty costumes as possible and
give the comedians a chance to work. 1t
answers the purpose admirably. The
fencing girls were introduced at the be-
ginning of the third act and displayed
remarkable training. Following this was
a French duel of today. This little farce
concealed the brightest lines of the
piece. Three men fight a triangular duel
in the presence of fash light photogra-
pher, three newspaper men. several girls
and walters with wine. One of the COM
batants receives scratch which is To-
Gated by the aid of a microscope and
honor is satisfied.
The author of this criticism is not a
woman and cannot describe the cos
tunes.

universities took place today at the Co.

today was THE Requirements for Admis-

were two papers read, one from Harvard
by President Elliot and the other from
Cornell from Professor Huffcutt of that
institution. President Elliot in his paper
advocated very strongly thar professional
schools require bachelors degrees, nut
omitted from his list engineering, chem
istry and architecture. Professor Huffcutt
took directly the opposite view.
