ASKS FOR DAMAGES.

A suit that has attracted considerable
attention throughout the State, is one
which was recently brought against
Gilbert Brothers, wholesale druggists, of
Baltimore, by DR.. George A. Brehm, of
Rolandville, Cecil county, to recover
$4,000 damages for loss of eye sight
which, it is alleged, was caused by wood
alcohol in the essence ofjamaica ginger,
which had been made by these druggists
and used by DR.. Brehm. The plaintiff
testified that on July 9th, 1898. he
drank three bottles of Jamaica ginger
prepared by the defendants and that two
days afterwards he became blind. Itwas
proved in the evidence that wood ecohol
would affect the eye sight, and DIR. Hunt,
an expert, testified as to the result of ex-
periments which he had made upon
animals. Some years ago DR.. Herbert
Harlan, an eminent eye specialist OF
Baltimore, made the startling announce,
ment that he had discovered the use OF
wood alcohol in the manufacture Of
jamaica ginger, and this was especially
true in counties where the sale of liquor
was not legalized, and this mixture was
used as substitute. At that time, it was

COLORED.
ALMOST DRAGGED TO DEATH.

Mr.. John Hushon, of Mill Green, aged
about twenty-five years, and son OF
MIR. Patrick Hushon, met with an acct
dent on last Friday which may yet be of
a fatal nature. He was returning home,
and it is supposed that in attempting to
enter his buggy, he placed his foot on the
front axle The horse started suddenly
and he became wedged between the axle
and the spring, causing him to fall heavily
on the ground striking his head, render
ing him unconscious. While in this posi-
ton the animal continued at rapid
gait and the unfortunate young man was
dragged over the frozen ground fully a
mile and a half before he became freed
from the vehicle About five o'clock the
next morning, his groans were heard by
a neighbor and medical assistance was
at once secured. 1t was found from
blood stains on the ground that he had
been crawling for quite distance. An
examination by Doctors William and
Frank Arthur showed that the scalp on
the back of his head and the skin on his
back had been torn or rubbed in a severe
manner. The skull was exposed, as we'll
as the entire feshy portion of the back,
including the back bone, fibers, veins and
nerves. His foot was also badly injured.
How he escaped death is almost miracle.
The young man has not yet fully re-
covered consciousness and therefore his
story of the accident cannot be given.
The physicians have hopes for his re-
covery.

TO REoRGANlzE THE FIRE. COMPANY.

A meeting of the citizens of Bel Air was

was appointed to solicit members of the

a practical alarm. The following men,

The meeting then adjourned until next
Tuesday night, February 3rd, when the
committees will make their reports. 1t
is the intention of those interested to
thoroughly reorganize the company, and
this movement should have the support
of every property owner within the limits.
The fire company has been running in a
haphazard manner for a number of years
and in case of severe contlagratiou its
forces would be totally in
efficient to cope with the flames. The
movement is a worthy one and should
meet with heart cooperation. Those liz
terested in the movement are especially
anxious to have as large an attendance
as possible next Tuesday night and we
hone that every one will come
