Four Insane Sisters.

Mr.. Miller, of the Asylum, brought
in the other day from Lynehburg, four
OF the Misses Greasy and delivered
them at that institution. They are
all insane. 1t was a pitfful sight when
their gentle and sympathetic escort
helped them out of the train into the
asylum carriage. Nothing OF the sort
has ever happened at this institution
before. Occasionally a mother and
daughter or two sisters have come TO-

of one family been beought in at one
time and at no other asylum probably.

BEL AIR, 8. PoLYTECHNICS, o.
The Bel Air Baseball Club opened the
seasonlast Saturday on the home grounds
near the depot with the Polytechnic H.
stitute, and although the Bel Airs had
not played together and very few of them
had had any practice, they simply toyed
with the visitors-only in one inning
though did theylet out link, when they
made five hits and four runs. Calder
started to pitch for Bel Air and held the
slab for five innings, allowing three hits,
after which Bowling went in and finished
the game with only one hit. Earring led
at the bat, making three hits in four
times at bat and scoring three runs,
while Herman Rockford made two hits
and received two bases on balls and
scored four runs. Sewage played his usu-
al game behind the bat, every man who
attempted to steal second base being
caught by his wonderful throwing.
There is not much to be said about the
game, as the Bel Airs so far outclasseC
the college boys that while the game wa:
interesting, the result was never in doubt
A large crowd was in attendance anc
every play was vigorously applauded
proving that the people are proud of th'
home team and its former record.

be with the strong Fischer Athletic Clul
of Baltimore, and an exciting contcs
may be expected. The time for starting

COURT HOUSE PLANS.

Architect J. A. Dempwolf, of York, has
submitted to the Court House Commis-
sion plan that will meet with popular
approval should it come within the
amount OF the appropriation. 1t con-
templates the building of all addition at
each end of the present structure twenty
six feet long and sixteen feet wider, eight
on a side. The elevation presents hand
some ard complete building correctly di-
mcnsioncd from an architectural stand
point. Mr.. Dempwolf feels certain that
the improvement can be made for the
500, 900 that will be raised for this pur-
pose. 1t will not interfere with any OF
the existing arrangements, but will give
plenty OF room for all present purposes
and leave some vacant space for future
needs. Should the addition be entirely
put at either the front or the rear the eff
feet will not be pleasing to the eye, and
as the Improvement is one that will be
handed down to posterity, every effort
should be made to have it a thing of
beauty as we'll as Joy forever
