them, as they have been absent for a long

Another Barn Fire--Heavy Loss.--A
large barn on the farm of Mr.. II. B. Alder, at
Corbett. N. G. r. R.. was destroyed by fire at
an early hour on Monday morning last.
County Commissioner John v. Slade, whose
home is at Corbett, was awakened about
o'clock by bright light shining in his win
dow. Getting up to investigate be saw that his
neighbours barn was on fire. He gave the
alarm as quickly as possible and ran to the
barn and It was mainly due to his efforts that
all the stock was gotten out safely. The other
contents of the barn, including wheat. oats,
corn, hay, fodder, straw Qncluding a large rick
in the rear of the barn) wagons, farm ma
chinery and implements, harness, etc.. were
totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is
unknown, although some believe it was caused
by tramps sleeping in the building. The esti-
mated loss is about 5000, with insurance of
less than half that amount.

there being more persons engaged in the bust

We are supposed to have shell roads in this
community, and we have Dragged about their
excellent condition, but l do not think we
shall do so again without qualification. They
are in better condition, just now, but for the
past two weeks there were places where it was
hard to say shells had ever been put The
bottom Of the road came on top. We agree
with Engineer Crosby that the natural soil of
Baltimore county is poorly adapted for road
making purposes, though excellent for raising
crops.
The effort on the part of Mr. Richard Vim
cent, Jr., to organize grange in this commu-
nifty has met with but little success or even
encouragement. and understand that he does
not intend To- try further. 1t is strange how
some people stand in their own light by re-
fusing to take hold of those things which can
but be of benefit to them.
The ladies' aid society of Ebenezer NJ E.
Church met on the afternoon of March 9th, at
the home of Mrs. Minnie Bramble During

Judgment in Favor of the Railroad
Sustained.-Chief Judge McSherry has de-
livered the opinion of the Court of Appeals in
the case of Mrs. Ida G. McNab and her hus-
band, Mr.. James McNab, of Gainesville,
against the United Railways and Electric Com
pany of Baltimore, sustaining the judgment of
the court below, which was in favor of the
railroad. The case involves a matter of con-
tributOry negligence, and was first instituted
in the Baltimore City Court and the judgment
of that court in taking the case from the jury
is the basis of this appeal.
On July %, 1899, Mrs. McNab and friend
were driving along Woodlawn avenue, in Bal
timore county, and while crossing the COM
pany's tracks at the Frederick road their
vehicle was struck by one of the cars, and Mrs.
McNab and the other lady were thrown out
and badly bruised.
The evidence was that the occupants of the
carriage while on one track saw the car APP
preaching at high rate of speed, and, instead
of remaining in place of safety, attempted to
take the risk of getting over safely. From
this, the court says that even though their
horse was very close to the car, the evidence
proved that it was not afraid of the same and
that by simply turning its head Mrs. McNab
would have been in complete safety, but that
in attempting to cross her negligence was such
as to prevent her from obtaining damages
even though the company's agents were like
wise negligent, though in a less degree. The
judgment of the court below was therefore
affirmed, with costs.

I'm bill of complaint filed in the Circuit
Court here Emanuel and Charles II. Young as
administrators of the estate of the late Susan
Young, ask an accounting from Col. Milton
w. Ofutt. 1t is alleged that Col. Ofutt owes
$3.50 to the estate besides an amount received
by him in its settlement. Col. Offutt says
there is nothing due by him to the estate, that
he was not Mrs. Young's attorney. and the
suit is without merit. Messrs. s. s. Field and
Samuel REGISTER are the compliments

Wants Statement Corrected.-An error
appeared in the published statements regard
ing the bill which has been introduced in the
Legislature abolishirg the power of the County
Commissioners to borrow $50, 900 in a year to
pay county Indebtedness. 1t has been made to
appear that the bill is to enable the County
Commissioners to borrow that sum of money.
The Commissioners said this week that they
were very much annoyed by the false report,
and that they intend to borrow no money and
expect to run the county on strictly cash
basis.

Eklo, 9th District.-The heavy fall of snow
which occurred just one week ago has about
disappeared, but it has left its impress in our
roads. In many places it seems as though the
bottom has actually dropped out.
The blue bird has made its appearance,
warbling its sweet song, much to the delight
of the farmers who regard this bird as the
harbinger of the return of better weather.
There will be plenty of work caused by the
heavy washing rains which have badly gut
tered many of the fields that were plowed last
fall for corn; but what puzzles farmers most
is how to shape up their badly washed grain
fields.
The public sale of the personal property of
Mr.. John E. Bull, held last Monday, was well
attended and good prices were realized The

JudgeSands and the Farmers Clubs
Ex-Judge William B. Sands, of Baltimore
county, who was guest at the last meeting of
the Senior Gunpowder Agricultural Club, has
letter in The Country Gentleman of March
9Th, from which we make the following ex-
tracts:
"In Maryland the farmers club has long
been an instrument recognized and utilized
for agricultural advancement. and some of
these organizations, local in name, have exer-
cised wide, healthful and marked influence
for progress The agricultural society for the
Eastern Shore was founded early in the last
century, and has included in its membership
many of the ablest men and most capable ag
riculturists of that favored section. The far
mers' club of Sandy Spring must have been in
existence for sixty odd years, and its roster in
cuded names of the Hallowells, Farquhars,
Stablers and Thomases and other progressive
farmers who applied brains, system and in
dustry to their work and with their descend
ants, literally made the wilderness to smile
with plenty This was the parent of other
clubs, with it still surviving efficient agents
for transmitting knowledge through their zone
of activity and CO operating in every deserving
work for public good. The Deer Creek Club
of Hartford, and the Gunpowder of Baltimore
county, are other examples of neigh borhood
groups of farmers working efficiently, though
not noisily, for mutual advantage. and stimu-
lating to those outside their immediate infu-
ence. The corn-growing tests of the last
named club, years ago, had almost national
celebrity, when Talbot Gorsuch succeeded in
producing % barrels, or 140 bushels of sheled
corn, to the measured acre. The same club, at
one of the Baltimore county fairs, when they
were agricultural events, carried off the first
honor from numerous competitors for the
wagon exhibiting the largest and most varied
collection of farm products raised by mem
bers of the club-the contest being one of the
most interesting events occurring on any fair
grounds of the State.
This club survives, most of the earlier
members having gone on to other fields, their
places filled by sons, or other younger men who
do no discredit to the traditions of the elders.
Some of their number have gone into other pur-
suits, but several of these maintain the interest
offormer days and join their colleagues at the
monthly meetings. That for February was
held at the Lutherville residence of John
Crowther, Jr., who is now president of the
hourishing Towson National Bank. Other
members are COL Walter s. Franklin, vice.
president of the United Railways system of
Baltimore; Asa Bird Gardiner, Jr., manager
oSrthe Filston Farm and Jersey herd E. Git
hAgs Merryman, widely known as a breeder
Of Hereford cattle.
"a feature of each meeting is half hour
devoted to questions. Each member-and the
courtesy is always extended to visitors-is free
to draw on the experience of the others, on
points of practice, difficulties encountered or
plans proposed"
