BOYD'S, Md, January 5, 1903.
The scarcity Of feed is causing the sale
of a good many beef cattle throughout this
section of the county. Three to four car
loads of cattle are being shipped weekly to
the markets at Washington and Baltimore,
and as res tlt the prices are lower than
they have beth for some time.
The telephone service that was destroyed
in the county here, and connections with
Frederick and Carroll counties. are still in
bad condition.
Mr.. Nathan S. White, who lost his barn
by fire near here last week, has commenced
the erection Of temporary sheds, and ex-
poets to have them completed in a week
or SO.
The telegraphers from this division are
in session today in Baltimore with the off,
Gals of the road, and it will soon be known
as to what rate of increase they will re-
ceve from the company, which takes effect
January / of this year.
It is said that some Of the citizens in the
vicinity of Clarksburg and other point
near are making an effort to have a free
delivery system established that will take
in Clarksburg, Kings Valley and Cedar
Grove and other post offices, starting from
Boyd's.
The work on the improvements in the
large freight yards at Brunswick has COM
menced. Piles are being driven for the sand
house, 145 feet long by about feet wide,
which will be situated between two tracks,
in order that number of engines can get
sand at one time.

GEN. WOODS TRIP.
Will Investigate ACCESSIBILITY Of Re-
tanning Army Post at Columbus.

Brig Gen. Leonard Wood has gone to
Columbus. Ohio, by special direction Of Sec
rotary Root to investigate the military sit
uation at that point with special reference
to the advisability of selling the lands and
improvements, or any portion of them, Of
the military reservation in that city and
using the proceeds for the purchase and
Improvement of other land at or in that vi
cinity for military purposes. The last army
appropriation act vested the President with
authority to change the location of the
posts at Columbus. Indianapolis, Ind. and
Buffalo. N. Y, whenever in his opinion they
are no longer desirable for military pur-
poses. Action has been already taken in
the case Of the reservation at Indianapolis
If change Is decided upon in the case Of
Columbus barracks. the lands will be ap-
praised and sold and the proceeds used in
the establishment Of a post on another site
In that vicinity yet to be selected.

ARRESTED IN KALAMAZOO.
One of the Most Dangerous Post Office
Criminals,

The chief Inspector Of the Post Office De-
partment has received a dispatch from G.
L. Shipman. sheriff of Kalamazoo. Mich,
announcing the arrest in that city Saturday
Of Louis B. Matheny, alias William
Brooks. said to be one of the most danger
Gus post Office criminals al large. He was
arrested on the strength of a circular is
sued by Chief Inspector Cochran shortly
after Ma theny had forfeited bond after In
dictment for robbing the post offices at Shi-
lob. n. j.. and Alloway n. j.. September 0
and 10. 1901. respectively. He was arrested
in Philadelphia September IL. 1901, and in
dlcted in Trenton, n. j., January %. 1902.
When his case was called for trial 1t was
found that he had forfeited his bond. The
Post Office Department was Immediately
notified and circular issued offering 500
reward for his arrest. This circular con-
tained criminal history of the man, to-
gether with his Bertillon measurements and
a description according to the requirements
of the Bertillon system. Chief Inspector
Cochran was informed of the arrest Of the
man Immediately and will endeavor to have
the man taken to Trenton for trial

Wages Advance.
From the Kalamazoo Telegraph.


The railroads which have been foremost
or among the earliest in advancing wages
are: The New York Central, Pennsylvania,
Erie. Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific,
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Wabash.
Denver and Rio Grande, Rio Grande West
ern. Reading. Lake Shore, Cleveland. Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, st. Louis
and Southwestern, Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, Texas Pacific. Southern Rail-
way. Wheeling and Lake Erie and Pitts
burg and Lake Erie. It is estimated that
the aggregate Of the annual wage increases
on these lines alone will be $25, 100000, and
that when all the returns are in it will be
found that the railroads Of the Union have
agreed to give their employees about $50, Co.,
600 per year more than the latter have been
receiving. This calculation is based on
figures in the annual report of the inter-
state commerce commission for 1901. In
that year the total compensation paid to
the 1O71, 100 men employed by the railroads
was $61O.I13, 7O1. and 10 per cent Of this
would be more than SCI COO. 900. but the
highest salaried employees are not to partici-
pate in the general advance of pay. This Is
an immense sum to be added to the operat-
ing expenses of the iron highways, and it
is not strange that the stockholders have
been considerably concerned over the posi-
BILE effect on their incomes.

q. S. SUPREME COURT.
Opinions Rendered in a Number Of
Important Cases.

The United States Supreme Court yester-
day affirmed the opinion of the supreme
court Of Louisiana in the case Of E. M.
Chadwick VS. John NJ. Kelley. Chadwick
attacked the validity of an ordinance of
the city of New Orleans requiring city con-
tractors to give bond to employ only resi-
dents of the city in the work in which they
may be engaged. He was the owner Of
property abutting on streets which were
under process of improvement, and he COM
planned that the effect Of the operation of
the ordinance was to increase the cost Of
the improvement to him. The Louisiana
court held that as Chadwick was not
party against whom the discrimination, if
any, had been practiced he was not in
position to attack the validity Of the ordi-
nance and therefore dismissed the COM
plant. The Supreme Court affirmed that
opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the SUBJ
stitution Of the name of Admiral Henry G.
Taylor for that Of Admiral Sampson in the
prize-money case instituted by Admiral
Sampson in behalf of the officers and sail
ors who participated in the naval battle off
Santiago July B. 1898. Rear Admiral Tay-
lor was selected, as he was within the Ju-
risdiction of the court.
According to a decision delivered In the
court yesterday in the case of the Mobile
Transportation Company VS.. the City of
Mobile, the city is the rightful claimant to
water mark and low-water mark, which
has been in dispute between these two
claimants.
The court decided the case of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company VS.. the bor-
ough of New Hope, Pa, in favor Of the
town. The case involved the validity of an
ordinance requiring license fee for tele-
graph wires and poles in the town.
The court decided that a seat in the Phil
adelphia stock exchange constitutes prop
erty.
The court affirmed the opinion of the cir
cult court of the United States for the east
ern district of Arkansas in the case Of the
railroad commissioners of the state Of Ar
kansas VS.. the Kansas City Southern Rail-
by the railroad company to 'enjoin the
board from fixing rates upon which the
road should carry goods from one point in
Arkansas through Indian territory to an
other point in Arkansas. The contention of
the railroad company was sustained, the
opinion being by Justice Holmes.

DIR. WYMAN's PRECAUTIONS.
Taking Steps to Bar Out the Bubonie
Plague From the Country.

Surgeon General Walter Wyman of the
marine hospital service has taken positive
measures to watch for the appearance Of
the bubonic plague among steamer pas
sengers from the disease-swept towns of
Mexico bound for ports in the United
States. An assistant surgeon of the serv-
ice has been dispatched to Mazatland and
another to Ensenada, both Mexican ship
ping places, the latter situated in Lower
California, where the plague is said to be
in its most virulent form. The inhabitants
of one of these towns are fleeing by the
hundreds and new cases of the disease are
appearing as rapidly as the people are dis
appearing. The conditions appear alarming
on the face of such reports, but the officials
Of the marine hospital service are not per-
turbed. 1t is not their belief that the
plague can secure foothold in the United
States. The sanitary conditions of the'two
Mexican towns mentioned are on a par
with the conditions in other towns Of The
same country. This means that there is
practically no sanitation. There is not an
American city which does not make some
effort at sanitation, and even the ST. lllest
towns in the threatened districts are in
much better condition than the cleanest CT
Mexican towns, so 1t is said by the marine
hospital service people,. Surgeon General
Wyman has just returned from San Fran
cisco. where he carefully inspected the city
and heard reports from the officers Of the
city, state and federal health boards. He
says that the city IS in excellent condition
and that he does not fear that the plague
will secure a foothold anywhere. Despite
the fact that cases of the plague have FIRE
quently been introduced in the crowded Sec
tions Of Chinatown, there has been no
spread Of the disease. The two surgeons
sent to Mexico are to carefully observe all
persons bound for the UNITED States for
plague suspects and viii hold any person
who shows the slightest signs Of the
disease.
Surgeon General Wyman has under prep
aration a report on the sanitary conditions
Of New Orleans, Fort Stanton. IN. NJ, and
San Francisco, which he is preparing to
submit to the Secretary of the Treasury.
This report will contain p statement Of the
bubonc plague conditions as found by DR..
Wyman on the trip from; which he has just
returned.
Consul Kaiser at Mazatlan, Mex, cables
the Department of State that the Mexican
expert doctor pronounced the disease which
has broken out there as bubonic plague.
All precautions. the CONSUL adds. have been
taken to prevent the spread Of the plague.
