JUDGE FOWLER RESIGNS.

On Friday, Judge Fowler handed his
resignation as Chief Judge of the Third
Judicial Circuit to Governor Warfield to
take effect Immediately. 1twas accepted
by the Governor, and Judge N. Charles
Burke was named to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Frank |. Duncan, who has recently
been named by the Democrats of Balti-
more county for associate Judge was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy created by the
elevation of Judge Burke.
The action of Judge Fowler, was in the
nature of a surprise, but made necessary
from the fact of his at once entering upon
the practice of his profession. He has
formed a law partnership with Mr.
George Whitelock, of the Baltimore city
bar, and Monday appeard at the trial
table in civil suit.
Judge Fowler has been on the bench
for the past twentv-three years, and il
| that time his record has been n brilliant
one. He has by degrees raised himself tc
the position of one of the leading mem
bers of our Appellate court. His opinion:
are recognized as being among the best
that have been handed down by thi:
learned tribunal. and he enjoys the re
spect and esteem of his fellow member:
of the bench.

it greater part of the provision is fur
nishcd.
We noted the improvements now il
progress, the tenant and wagon house
and consider this institution credit tc
the county and that our citizens should
be interested in it. Its condition com
pares very lavorably with that of the
jail, which, as we note theimprovements
in some of the other public buildings,
seems scarcely tolerable in a thrifty pro-
gresslve community.
We found eight prisoners there, but as
at the almshouse, the number varies at
times. The dark, gloomy cells invite
criticism and continually suggest only
decentralization and gloom, but are made
more tolerable by the chairs you lately
furnished, for which we express to you
sincere gratitude.
Weregret, as before expressed, the ncceS-
slty of combining two and more in the
same sell, rs it seems to enlarge the op-
portunity for misconduct in some re.
CARDS.
We comment with satisfaction upon
the efforts to surround both pleasantly,
and the profusion of flowers, especially at
the home, affords the inmates with ell
tertainment and some employment
Again thanking you for the chairs in
the cells of the Jail, and asking your CO.
operation for the uplifting of these insti-
buttons, we are very respectfully,

THE CANNED GOODS EXHIBIT.

The entries in the canned goods depart
ment at the Hartford county fair included
46 cases of tomatoes, packed by that
number of Gamers in this county. This
judges were Messrs. Hugh S. Orem. presi-
dent of the Baltimore City Canned
Goods Exchange and w. w. Woodruff, a
broker of Pittsburg, Pa. The premiums
were awarded as follows:
First, c. Reed Jourdan, of Darlingt on.
Second, Joseph, 7. Deckman, of Bel Air.
Third, George w. Evans, of Aberdeen.
Highly commended, ]. Barnes Bailey,
of Forest Hill, and w. A. Bodt, of Church
vile.
1t is interesting to note that the win
ner of the first prize, Mr.. c. Reed Jour
dan carried off similar honors at the fair
one year ago. The packing of his goods
must be of the standard order, as the
Judging then was by a buyer of the
wholesale grocery firm of Austin, Nichols
and Company. This endorsement COM
ing from two such entirely different sour,
ces establishes the character of Mr.
Jourdan's goods.
In making the award, Mr.. Woodruff
writes the following to the superinten
dent of the class Mr.. William E. Robin
son. He says that he did not think il
possible to get together 46 cases of such
tomatoes as these on exhibition. 'lr
fact, never saw better goods from any
state nor from any location, and have
cut goods from every section of the
United States. The whole lot was Sc
perfect that it was impossible to decide
which was the best When any section
of the country contains 46 such past
masters of canned tomatoes. l do not Sc,
why such a section should have any
trouble in making itself notorious a:
packers of the very highest grade of to
matoes.
THE Indifferent packer may. for a sea
son or two, make just as much, if no
more money, with less work and care a
the good packer, but let the good worke
once establish his name through honest
patient effort, his pocket will be as wei
filled with bright silver coins as his cam
must be with red ripe tomatoes
In making the award, Mr.. Orem said
that he had never seen canned good
that could approach those on exhibition
both in point of quality and the care eS
ercised in packing. Indeed, when sa
it was most serious question to decid
which were entitled to the first, secon
! and third prizes, l express myself bu

Waterman Milton Baldwin heard the
explosion and ran to the depot, where he
was confronted by three men, who were
just leaving the building. One of them
had the cash box in his possession, which
contained however, only 81 or $3.
! The Waterman commenced firing at the
men, and the shots were returned. Dur
ing the shooting one of the men was
seen to fall to the ground. 1t is supposed
that he was struck by bullet, as he
called for help. More of their pals re-
sponded, and the shooting became gen
cral. The cash box was dropped in the
excitement, and the men made good their
escape, carrying their injured companion
with them. The box was found to con-
tain bullet hole, entering one side and
coming out the other, leaving an aperture
about the size of half a dime. Blood
on the box also proved that one of the
men had been injured.
The conclusion started a slight blaze
in the ticket office, but the fire was put
out before any damage was done. The
burglars effected an entrance by getting
in the cellar and climbing through an
opening left by register on the floor
which had been removed. There is no
clue to the robbery, but detectives are at
work on the case.

PERHAPS FOUL PLAY.

Jane Anderson, young negro woman
died in tenant house on the farm of Mr.
c. c. Richardson, near Bel Air, on Mon
day evening, under circumstances that
indicated foul play. She was taken sick
during the day. and when DR.. Charles
Richardson, her physician, arrived, she
was in commissions, which indicated
some kind of poisoning. The physician
questioned the woman and she gave 4
broken story about having been given a
drug by a negro man named Elisha
James, and that the bottle containing
the poison was in the yard. DR.. Rich
ardson made an examination and found
the bottle contained strychnine, from
which quantity of the drug had been
taken. He Immediately communicated
with States Attorney Sitter, and a war
rant was issued for the arrest of the
negro James. On Tuesday morning, a
post norton examination of the body
was made by Drs. Charles Richardson
anu e. nan NlCHdIusOH. L TIC SOlOHSl ,
jury, held on Monday night, by w. r.
McComas, acting coroner, rendered a
verdict of death from causes unknown.
The dead woman was formerly in the
employ of Mr.. Robert E. Esley, foreman
of the A$gis office. She occupied an attic
room, and one night, presumably by ac-
cident. set fire to the place, and the burn
ing of the whole dwelling was narrowly
averted. She formerly resided at Lorely,
where it is said that her parents now
live.
On Wednesday night Deputy Worth
ington arrested James and lodged him in
Bel Air jail. Charles Nelson, a young
negro man, was also brought to Bel Air
charged with being an accessory of James.
Both men will be held for further action
by the state authorities.

COUNTY FAIRS.

land, has the following to say editorially
respecting the exhibition of Hartford:
1.-TWO county fairs are in progress in
Maryland this week; namely, those Of
Hartford and Washington counties. The
fair at Bel Air is more of county fair
than the one at Hagerstown. Itappeals
especially to the people of one of the most
beautiful portions of this or any other
State. No one can go through the center
of Hartford county. Long Green Valley

without wanting to live amidst those
beautiful scenes. There are comfortable
and coy homes surrounded by groves
and orchards, by we'll titled fields and
peopled by happy. prosperous and con-
tented folk. The Bel Air fair gathers the
best of the products of these fields. the
best of the cattle upon thousand hills
the best of the products of domestic skill
and good housekeeping, and exhibits al
these things and more to promote emula
ton and stimulate still more determined
efforts to advance the science of agricul
