IT WAS A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Dumb Beast Tortured BY Fiend
In Human Form.

Ten dollars reward has been offered
by Mr.. David Miller for any infor-
nation leading to the discovery of the
person or persons who shot two of the
hogs belonging to Joseph Williams,
colored.
Williams rents a place from Mr..
Miller at Miller's Heights. The col
ored man has been raising hogs and
expected to have hog killing this
week. On Thanksgiving day some
miscreant trespassed on Williams
place although trespass notices warn
ing people to keep off that the grounds
are private property. are posted every
where. The trespasser shot two of
Williams hogs, killing one outright
and horribly iDjuring the other, the
intestines Lrotruding from the wound
of the suffering animal.
The act was a dastardly one and great
indignation is felt There was no
reason to injure the hogs, and while
an act of base cruelty,i it seems to have
been perpetrated through animosity
to the owner. Mr.. Miller has offt red
the abov reward and hopes to appre-
bend the miscreant

by James w. Owens. ESQ, and ex-
Mayor Charles a. Dubois The for

bill and pointed out its features, show

Mr. Dubois said in part:
81 have read most carefully the

will be asked to pass to protect and
save the oyster beds of the Chesapeake

'When the barren bottoms are leas-
ed, where are the oysters to come

WELD a revenue TO the leasor They
come from the grounds where there
are more oysters The bill provides
for the taking of oysters from the
10th of April 60 the 10Th of June for
that purpose. 1t is TO transfer the
oyster grounds to private or corporate
ownership, and thus rob Peter to pay
Paul to take away from our people
the means of making n living In
order to do away with opposition if
this Haman bill passes only to lease
out the barren bottoms, here is where
you can see the suake. In order to
capture the support of the people
away from the tidewater counties and
who are not directly interested in the
oyster beds, they are told that the
revenue from the leasing of the barren
bottoms will be portioued ont to tie

Preparing For New Treaty.
SPECIAL Dispatch to Evening Capital


Washington, ID. c., Dec. 6.-Seore.
tary Root is busily engaged in trying
to formulate some sort of a program
TO improve cur commercial relations
with Germany. 1t is necessary to
make a new trade treaty, as the pres
ent one will expire in about three
months. Negotiations are under way
for such a treaty, but it is doubtful
if they can be completed by that
ii ne. Therefore q temporary agree
ment will be probably necessary to
remain in force until o new treaty
can be approved. Germany insists
upon some important notifications of
our tariff schedules. claiming that at
present we have much the advantage
in the trade between the two coun-
tries. A change, it is claimed, would
be mutually advantageous and large
~ increase the commerce between the
United States and Germany. However,
every alteration will be bitterly fought
by the stand patters and the prospects
of an agreement at an early date are
not bright.

MR.. GROUSE GETS THE PLUM.
HE IS CHOSEN FOR INSURANCE
COMMISSIONER.
The Governor Issued The Commiss-
ion Last Night For Term
of Four Years.

The Board of Public Works com.
posed Of the Governor, Comptroller
and Treasurer, held a meeting yester-
day in the Board rooms at the Fidelity
Building, Baltimore The Board unan-
imously elected Mr.. Benjamin Frank
Grouse. of Carroll county. State In.
surance Commissioners.
The Governor told Mr.. Grouse that
he would have his commission issued
at the earliest possible date, and the
latter said that he would begin his
new duties at once. In fact. after
looking after the details incident to
the filing OF his bond. he went Ito the
Office of the State Insurance Commits.
sloner TO look things over and famil-
iarize himself with conditions. Gov
ernor Warfeld last night signed the
commission of Mr.. Grouse and the
commission was forwarded to him at
his home at Westminster.
The Governor signed the commission
OF Mr.. Grouse as for a term of four
years, but the question arose that an
appointee to this Office could be re-
moved at the pleasure OF the Board of
Public Works, without any charges
being filed against him. In this con.
nection decision of the Court of
Appeals was referred to. 1t was in
the case of Townsend against Kurtz.
where Townsend was removed from
Office and KuItz appointed in his
stead. The cause was the beginning
of Republican administration.
The position to which Mr.. Grouse
was appointed has been vacant since
October, when Judge Frank l. Dun
can resigned it TO become member
of the bench in the circuit comprising
q ffran
There were several applicants for the
place. among them being Mr.. Joseph
M. STREET., editor of the Hartford
Democrat, who was nominated by Gov.
ernor Warfield at the last meeting of
the Board of Public Works, held here
less than two weeks ago. AT that
meeting DR.. Atkinson nominated Mr..
Grouse and General Vandiver declin-
ed to nominate man or to vote for
either Mr.. STREET. or Mr.. Grouse.
Mr.. Grouse is 81 years old, and was
born and raised in Carroll county, in
which bailiwick he is regarded as the
Democratic organization leader. He
was educated at the Western Mary
land College, and was admitted TO
the bar Of Westminster in 1875. He
was a member of the Legislature of
1880, and has been Clerk of the Court
for Carroll County. He was appoint
ed chief clerk in the Comptroller's
office by DR.. Herring during his term
OF office. and was reappointed by DIR.
Atkinson.
Mr.. Grouse, the newly appointed
Insurance Commissioner, is a first
cousin of Prof. William S. Grouse, the
recently appointed principal of the
Annapolis High School. The appoint
ment will doubtless make some
changes at the State House, as the
position of Chief Clerk in the Comp.
troller's Office is now vacant. Mr..
Harry J. Hopkins is prominently
spoken of to fill the vacancy and this
appointment would ha an excellent
one.
