The presence of so MANY automobiles
on the roads of our county and the utter
disregard that seems to be shown by
some of the owners, when passing fright
ened horses, calls for legislation on this
subject Not many of us are able to own
these vehicles of pleasure, and we do not
look with an envious eye upon those who
do. Nevertheless, it is no more
than fair that the owners of horses
should have some rights on the public
roads. If the automobiles would only
animals to pass, all would be well, and
in a great many cases this is done. Still
there are few who seem to care nothing
for the rights of any huma being except
themselves. A stringent law should be
passed making these selfish persons liable
for any damage that may accrue on &C
count of their carelessness.
The residence of Mr.. George r.
Cairnes, situated on Broadway, Bel Air,
caught fire last Sunday night while the

discovered by his daughter, Miss Annie

by falling plaster. Uponinvestigation it
was found that blaze had started in a
partition, supposedly from a defective
flue. The alarm was quickly given and
both hose companies promptly responded.
The fire was extinguished without the use
ofhose, a hole being cut through the wall
and few buckets-full of water were all
that vas necessary. 1t was fortunate
escape for had the fire gained little
more Roadway the destruction of the
building would have been inevitable
Mr.. Cairnes' residence is one of the
handsomest in Bel Air and has lately beer
rebuilt at considerable expense.
