Will Not Help to Pay Inquests and
Burials. -Superintendent Kapp, of the North
ern Central Railway Company, has notified
the County Commissioners that his company
would not contribute to the burial expenses of
persons killed on the tracks of the road and
who were buried by the county officials. Some
days ago the Board wrote to the railroad Off
Gals suggesting that the company assume the
expense entailed by the organization and con-
duct of a coroner's jury for the investigation
of deaths occurring on the company's tracks,
the burial of the bodies, &C. In reply to this
communication the following letter was sent
to the Board over the signature of Mr.. Kapp:
THE railroad company is entitled to police
protection from the county, and if non-resl-
dent tramps trespassing upon the company's
property or right of way meet with accidents
as the result of such trespass the company is
subjected to inconvenience and trouble in the
way of delay to its trains and expense in the
payment of wages to employees who are re-
quired to attend inquests, &c. and it seems to
me it would be quite as reasonable for the rail-
road company to expect the county to COM
pensate it for these expenses as it would be
for the county to expect the railroad COM
pany to bear the expense OF the fees OF cor
oners, funeral expenses, &C., in such cases.
The institution of proceedings by the coroner
is not at the instance or for the protection Of
the railroad company or its officials, and is
altogether an affair of the State of Maryland"
Jurors for the May Term Of Court

cult Court, which will begin on the third Mon
day of the month. Following is the list, the

at Towson on Thursday. The proposed rail,
way is to run from Baltimore to Frederick and

tied his horse to chestnut tree in the yard.
This evening the young man went in another

became unfastened and, after search of sew
eral hours, it was found standing near the chest
nut tree, several miles distant from where it
had left its owner.

two days before and which was thought to
have died out.

Clerk Must Issue the Licen6e.-Judge
Burke has passed an order in the mandamus
case of Edward B. Mcdonald against n Bos-
ley Merryman, Clerk, directing him to issue
saloon license to the plaintiff upon payment of
5000. The Legislature at its recent session
passed an act increasing the license fee within
the corporate limits of Ellicott City to $500.
Mr.. McDonald's place, although in Baltimore
county, is within the corporate limits of the
town and when ha annlied for his license the
Clerk refused to issued one except on the pay
ment of $500; hence the suit. The act referred
to was not approved by Governor Smith until
April 9th, which was subsequent to the time
Mr.. Mcdonald filed his application, and it
specifies no time for going into effect. Con-
sequently the Court holds that it does not be-
come operative until after June LIST. Mr.. Elmer
]. Cook was attorney for Mcdonald.
ON THE HOWARD COUNTY SIDE.
A letter from Ellicott City, dated April 18th,
says: "Chief Judge Jones today heard argu-
ment in the mandamus proceedings which
were instituted here to compel County Clerk
Owings to issue to some of the Ellicott City
saloon keepers liquor licenses upon the pay
ment of $500, the fee required under the pro-
visions of the old law for the town. After the
arguments Judge Jones rendered his decision
in favor of the new law passed by the recent
Legislature, which requires license fee of
$500. 1t was sought to show by the petition
ers' counsel that the new law was unconstitu-
tional in several particulars, and that a fee
only in accordance with the old law could be
exacted."
Mr. Elmer j. Cook, who also represents
these saloon-keepers. ordered an appeal to be
taken to the Court of Appeals.

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tives take Of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per
centage Of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for consumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of It's long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire Of
it as quickly as other medi-
cines and that IS where the
great benefit comes.
