A MISTAKE cREPT IN.
Bot The Official Election Ballots
Are Now Said To Be In
Good Shape.

Without in the least profiting by
the mistakes of previous years ana
the costly errors which have crept
into many matters the Board of
Supervisors of Elections has again
another mistake which will cost the
county a goodly sum of money. This
mistake, like a serious one of last
year, was with reference to the bal
lots and the manner in which they
are printed.
So palpable is the mistake of this
year that it looks like decided effort
to give someone extra work and, in
cidentaly the money which accom-.
panies il. Last year a mistake was
made in the spelling of the name of
one of the candidates. lie was dis
covered" just in time and the ballots
were reprinted. The latest mistake
was far more serious, and had il been
allowed TO exist without correction,
the coming election, as far as this
county is concerned. would have been
open to controversy. After all the
ballots haad been printed it was found
that a 'mitsake" had crept in and had
been incorporated in the entire series
of ballots.
1t was stated that the advisory
attorney for the board, had de
cided that the law did not require
any particular sized square for the
placing of the cross mark ON the bal
lots. Based on that opinion expressed
by him the ballots were printed.
Late last night Mr.. Daniel II. Ran
dali found that the ballots were faulty
in that the squares for placing the
cross mark of the voter were not of
the size prescribed by law Members
of the board were at once notified and
they in turn got the county printer
out of bed and had him reprint the
ballots. AS the original ballots had
been printed according to the orders
of the board the county will have TO
stand the additional expense.

ATTRACTED great attention. The lar
gest pair were attached to the engine
and driven by Mr.. Howard Cox, who
has been placed in charge of the
horses. Another was attached to the
hose wagon and driven by Mr.. James
Carr. The fourth horse was driven
by Mr.. Joseph Green and was attach
ed TO the hose reel They traversed

Chopped Her Finger

Josephine Carroll is the wife of
Rev. Carroll, pastor of Asbury NJ.
Z. Church, West street. Early this
morning. desiring to add to the size
of the family wood pile, she secured
hatchet and began choppping wood.
That miscalculation of distances and
inability to direct movements in q
straight course, for which the female
persuasion carries the banner, stepped
in at a very inopportune moment for
the digits of the hatchet wielder. In
some manner the hatchet struck her
on the left thumb and severed that
useful member at the second joint.
DIR. q. b. HenkeI was summoned. He
found that the finger had been picked
from the ground aud carefully wash
ed. He secured it and seWed it on.

TREATED TO A ROAST.
Novel Entertainment For Members
of Maryland Bankers
Association.

No feature of the Bankers conven-
tion which has been in session here
for the past two days pleased them
more than the delightful oyster roast
given yesterday afternoon at Bouch-
er SON the Spa. The day was ideal
Shortly after half past three a large
batteau supplied with seats along the
sides and cushions flor the occasion,
was towed across the creek by steam
launch. The boat made trips across
until about 1875 bankers, their wives,
daughters and friends had been trans
ported to the scene of the feast.
Twelve long tables were spread COW
cred with white cloths and containing
pickles, olives, crackers, catsup and
those good things that go to make mp
an oyster roast. The visitors, who
were the guests of the local bankers,
were served as soon as they arrived.
Everything worked like clock work
and there wasn't hitch in the entire
evenings entertainment. Mr.. Boucher
managed the affair and had about
thirty helpers employed, twelve of
whom were experienced walters from
the Naval Academy These were
uniformed in white and presented a
neat appearance. The delicious coffee
was made by experienced hands and
served by mattresses. Eighteen shuck-
ers were employed and the oysters
were served hot and steaming to the
visitors as fast as they emptied their
plates.
Everybody had an abundance and
praise was heard on all sides for the
hospitality of the local bankers in
affording their guests such a feast
1t was something novel TO the visitors.
To sit out of doors the last of Octo-
Der amid asgrove of trees in their au-
tumnal coloring, with the azure sky
above and the graceful Spa creek
winding at the foot of the grove, to
be feasted with the delicious bivalves
for which the Chesapeake is famous,
was indeed treat which the Bank
ers' Association thorouRhly enjoyed.
Everybody went away pleased and too
much credit cannot be given the home
bankers, who thought of this unique
and pleasing form of entertainment, or
to Mr.. Boucher, under whose manage
ment it was such complete success.
The committee in charge of the en-
tertainment for the visitors consisted
nf the Hon. John Writ Randall, presi-
dent of the Farmers National Bank ;
James M. Munroe, Esq, and Mr..
Harry j. Hopkins, representing the
board of directors of the bank. Dur
ing the afternoon there was a splendid
exhibition of shooting by the Annap-
oils Gun Club, which was much EN-
joyed and repeatedly applauded. Mr..
Edgar Basil did some fine shooting
and he received much applause and
commendation from the visiting
bankers.
