EIGHTH DISTRICT.

The heavy rain on Tuesday has again
put our roads in bad condition for travel.
While VIM. Krauss was blowing on

Union Hospital.

The Union Hospital needs $500 add.
tional in order to secure the State appro-
priation. A Finance Committee, for the
purpose of raising this sum, has been ap-
pointed by the Board of Directors.
This committee, consisting Of Messrs..
L. Marshall Haines, Henry M. McCul-
Tough and Howard Bratton, expect in a
few days to make an appeal to the public
for contributions. The sum must be
raised by November I.
The committee wishes to say that the
Hospital, when built, will not be bur-
den upon private parties nor a drain
upon the County treasury. It will be
supported by the State.
The committee therefore confidently
relies upon the generosity of the good
people Of Cecil County and asks each
one to give something according to his
means toward building the Hospital.

Will Carry Shippers Case to Court
of Appeals.

John s. Strahorn, Esq, counsel
for John M. Shippers, murderer of
Albert Constable, ESQ, of ElktOn,
states that the case will be carried
to the Court of Appeals. While
the trial was in progress many
exceptions we're noted by Shippers
counsel, the principal one being
ssthat it was unlawful to try per-
son for crime while he was serv
ing time and was a prisoner of the
State" In June last, Chief Judge
McSherry of the Court of Appeals,
rendered an opinion in a similar
case, that of Roland B. Rigor,
against the State of Maryland, writ
oferror to the Criminal Court Of Bal
timore City. In this case the plain
tiff in error had been tried and con.
victed by the Criminal Court OF
Baltimore City for an assault upon
a guard while he was already serv
ing a sentence for a previous Of
Tense, consisting of robbery and
murderous assault upon the con.
ductor of a Lake Roland car.
The Court of Appeals ruled adj
versely upon all the claims made
by Rigor, the strongest of which
was that the court possessed no
right to bring him before it on a
writ of habeas corpus while he was
undergoing Imprisonment for an
other crime.
Judge McSherry said, in his
opinion, that the penitentiary is
not place of sanctuary, and that
a convicted criminal ought not to
enjoy immunities greater than those
of other persons. The delay in
bringing criminal to trial under
the contrary rule would be an in
ducement to crime and opposed to
public policy.

times overwhelmed with this hos

review OF Abyssinian troops constantly
