Baltimore County Firebugs.-Several in
cendiary fires have recently occurred in Balti-
more county, within a comparatively short
distance of the city limits, and there is reason
to believe in the existence of band of firebugs,
which is responsible for this outrageous work.
Not only have valuable buildings been destroy
ed, but fine stock and expensive farm imple-
ments have been made prey to the flames.
The fires have, as a rule, been started at very
early hour of the morning, when the owners of
the property and the people employed on the
place are asleep, and when it is difficult to get
the county fire engines to the spot in time to be
of any service. As result the destruction of
the buildings and their contents have generally
been complete.
There are few more despicable crimes than
these, few of which call for, and should receive
more condign punishment. Such fires not
only destroy the buildings in which they are
started, but endanger the residences in the
neighborhood and even the lives of the occu-
pants. There is rarely any chance of putting
out fire of that kind if it once gets a good
start as the means at hand for fighting the
flames are, as a rule, of the most limited char
acter. On account of these recent occurrences
there is feeling of alarm among many of the
residents of the county, and this can be remov-
ed only by the arrest and punishment of these
It is the duty of the county au-
thorities to make every effort to round up these
firebugs at once. Ifthe county police are I'M
equal to the task the best detective should be
and an end made of this nefarious
and dangerous work.-Baltinaore american.
Jury Condemns Franklin .-Theiury
by Sheriff Rittenhouse to inquire
into and report on the condition of the Frank
lin turnpike has made its award and reported
to the Sheriff.
The Jury states that it found that the condi-
ton of that part of the road extending from
the junction of the Dogwood road and Gwynn
Oak avenue to Franklintown is not in good
condition that the greater portion is not laid
out and opened 60 feet wide; that a considera-
BILE portion has not 18 feet in width of artificial

hard substance. The width of the artificial
portion varies from about IL feet to about Is
feet.
The jury says the artificial bed of that part of
the road has become practically worn out and
inadequate for turnpike and has been cut into
many ruts and holes. The report says that
part of the road ought to be condemned and no
toll collected. The section OF the road extend
ing from Franklintown to the northwestern
limits of Baltimore city is in much more i'm
proved condition and need not be condemned.
The jury states that there is but one tollgate
on the road. This is located in Baltimore city,
at which tolls are collected for the entire length
of the road.
The jury was composed of Messrs. George H.
Merryman. Joseph s. Bowen, Louis w. Held,
n. B. L. Everdfng, George Grim and Henry
Doering, Jr.
