FIGHT IN THE COUNTY
A Serious Charge Against William
Lamb Outside of The
CITY Limits.

A family quarrel which came very
near resulting disastrously TO and in
nocent participation took place just out
side of Annapolis Saturday night. In
connection with the affair there will
be trial before Squire w. ID. X.
Lee at O'Clock tonight.
On man was badly cut during the
fracas and another was made TO re-
main out of doors during the cold
night, according to the story which
was told to Constable Crawford. who
made the arrest in the case. 1t is al
legged that William Lamb went TO the
home of his father on Annapolis
Neck road, just at the edge of town.
1t is said that he had been drinking
TO a considerable extent and proceeded
to illtreat his father, John Lamb.
While he was engaged in trying to put
his father out of the .house, his. broth
er, Albert Lamb. hastened to his
fathers rescue.
He arrived on the scene just in time
to be struck by large bottle which
had been thrown at his father. 1t
felled him TO the ground and cut a
deep cash in his forehead. The father
was put out of the house and it is said
that he built himself a fire beside
the railroad, where he remained all
night in the cold. Constable Crawford
investigated the case and in the alb
sence of prosecuting witness arrest
ed Lamb on the cahrge-of being drunk
and disorderly. His hearing on that
charge is set for 6 o'clock tonight.

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
WHAT THE POT IS BOILING
UP AT PRESENT.
General Backwardness On The Part
of Those Who Would Get
Some of County
Money.

Very shy and retiring are the poli.
tlclans OF the city and county at the
present time. While those who are
wise to conditions political can place
their fingers on the men who will
head the county and city tickets they
are very backward about doing so.
The city offices will be doled out bv
the powers that be, but there is great
hope expressed in many quarters that
there will be good strong fight for
the county Offices Ii is Thought that
fight in the county would bring out
some good material which is not con
tanned by any faction and by that
means the county would be the better
by some one who would give the ooun
~ good run for it's money.
Candidates for membership in the
board of county commissioners are Ms
thick as blackbirds in April, but they
are holding back at present. They
seem TO want to watch the opposition
before coming out and making a
straight fight for the nomination. The
entire board will beAretired this fall.
but IL is said that every member will
again become candidate. Sheriff
Hardy will have TO step out when his
term expires as the law forbids the
sheriff TO stay in office for more than
one term without break. Candidates
for this position are not very numer-
Gus at present and the chances are that
there will not be much of a fight un-
til short time before election.
The Democratic party has a bad split
right through the coattails and until
the proper tailor appears on the scene
TO unite the two parts there seems TO
be little hope for any person put for,
ward by either faction. The other
party seems TO be pretty we'll cement
ed in ideas and the prediction fight
will be but an incident Ii is said
that dark horse will be trotted out
by the Republican camp at the last
moment. They have in view man
who has long been identified with
county politics in a manner which
never made it possible for him TO be-
come a candidate for the position of
sheriff.
Mr. l.. A. Palmer still remains the
only Republican candidate for the
position of Register of Wills, while
DR.. Davidson and Mr.. Arnold would
accept the honor at the hands of the
Democratic party. 1t was thought
by many that Mr.. Palmer would retire
from the race and leave an opening
for Mr.. j. o. Fowler, the present dep
uty register. but they seem to have
been misinformed There will be
practically no party fight for the po-
sition OF county surveyor and the men
selected by either party will go as the
ticket goes. As il is closely allied
with the position of county commits
sioDer. the county surveyor will have
to be man this year who can do yeo-
man service for the party.

Repairing The Bridge

After many days work has been at
last started ON the Eastport bridge in
an effort to make it at least service
able for some time to come. Mr.. John
Knadler started Saturday to make
the needed repairs and will do what
he can on the small amount of money
allowed tor the purpose. He started
at the worst place on the bridge,
which is about 100 feet from the East
port end.
At that point many of the timbers
have rotted away and left the bridge
floor almost entirely unsupported.
The string pieces have worked loose
from the ties ends and any strong
lateral vibration is liable to upset the
structure into the creek. The county
commissioners were desirious of hay-
ing a new bridge erected in place of
the old one, but bond issue for that
purpose cannot be secured until the
next session of the Legislature. In the
meantime such repairs as will render
the bridge at least partially safe will
be made.

At St. Mary's Church

The high mass yesterday was sung
by the Rev. Charles Becker, U. SIS.
K. who has returned and takes Father
Heenan's place. he also preached on
the Gospel of the Sunday, the first Of
Lieut., which relates the temptation of
Christ. The Very Rev. Rector gave
the instruction at the children's mass,
and preached at night the first of his
series of lenten sermons. 1t was
masterly, showing the authority of
the church, given her by the Divine
lawgiver, to make laws for the govern
ment of her children. and showing
how the precepts of the church are the
application of the ten commandments
TO individual life. Father Hanley
is very logical ,reasoner and force
full speaker. His language. with no
attempt at tfiowery eloquence, is
the purest English, and SO plain that
both the educated and the unlearned
may profit by his discourses. Another
series of sermons on the Passion will
be given on the Wednesday nights of
Lent.

WANTED CHLOROFORM
Terrible Mistake OF One Whom It
Was Desired to Oslerize
In a Ioke.

To what extremes the mind of bad
gered person is liable TO be- thrown
from the path of it's correct working
was exemplified a few days since at
the Hotel Maryland. At the hostelry
is man who is known TO be very
sensitive in regard 60 his age and Is
often made the unwilling recipient of
many remarks which are not oalcuIat-
ed to smooth the march of time.
Several days since he was sitting at
breakfast with several other persons
when DIR. Osler' remarks were brought
mp for dissection. Then it was that
one of the jokers present suggested 20
the one wha is sensitive that he had
reached the age at which chloroform
should be administered him. That he
was angered is expressing it mildly.
He characterized Osler as all sorts of
things the while he was engaged in
preparing number of cakes for their
coating Of syrup.
He was still further perturbed when
he found that there was no syrup on
the table and called TO one Of the
mattresses to come to him. He was
still discoursing volubly on the kinds
OF things he would like to have hap
pen TO Osler when the girl reached his
side. What was the surprise and
amusement of the others at table, who
expected to hear him ask for syrup,
when he exclaimed in an irritated and
aggrieved tone bring me the chio-
reform" please.

WANT A DOG CATCHER
Recommendation Will Probably Be
Made to The Council
Tonioht.

At the meeting OF the City Council
tonight it is expected that several
committee reports will be made. Most
important of these will be that of the
councilmanic committee appointed
for the purpose of inquiring into the
needs of the fire department.
The committee wall report favorably
on the proposed purchase of a reel
for the Waterwitch company and also
for new nozzles. There is no doubt
but that it will advise against any
consideration of the Williams ordi-
nance looking to the establishment of
a paid fire department.. 1t is under
stood that Alderman Williams did not
introduce the resolution with any
idea of having it discussed on its
merits, but did so purely out of q
spirit Of burlesque.
Mayor Jones will probably suggest
the appointment of o city dog catch
er. Many complaints have been re-
ceived with reference to the large
number of dogs to be seen on the
streets and il is desired to have some
of them Oslerized before they become
a summer nuisance. The usual lieen-
ses will be issued to those who desire
to keep dogs, but it is thought that if
person does not care enough for a
dog to secure a permit it had best be
put out of the way
1t is said that James TuIl, white
man, is an applicant for city dog
catcher and will probably be appoint
ed at the meeting tonight. There has
been no dog catcher for over year.
Jonas Watkins, the previous one, hav-
ing met a sudden death by falling
upon his own wheelbarrow while
catching a dog
