REPAIRS COMPILE TED.
Colbert on The A, w. & B. Rail
road Permits of Regular
Schedule.

Much satisfaction is expressed by
the management of the Annapolis,
Washington aud Baltimore railroad
over the manner in which the travel
ing public, and particularly of An.
napolis, accepted the inconvenience
made necessary by the repairs which
were made to the culvert just outside
of town.
By reason of the fact that it was
necessary to do considerable switching,
occasioning loss of time, it was nee
essary to start all trains ten minutes
before the regular schedule time.
Many persons, not knowing of this
change, although it was published in
the papers and posted in various
places, missed their trains or were
forced to make a run for the train to
over take it at the switch. In spi te
of this seeming annoyance practically
no complaints were made and it was
accepted as a necessity which could
not be avoided.
Last night the repair to the culvert
were completed and trains were run
out usual. Beginning today, and
lar schedule time over the Annapolis.
continuing trains will leave on regu-
Washington & Baltimore Railroad, ii
not being necessary to longer start
ten minutes early. The regular sched-
ule will now be maintained.

light And is Nabbed.

Considerable excitement was occa.
stoned ON the street shortly before /
o CLOCK this afternoon by the arrest of
oolored man ON the charge of steal.
ing chicken and attempting an as
Sault ON his oaptor, from whom the
THEFT had been committed.
The prisoner was Richard Carmen
ter, who has been employed by David
klawansky for several DAYS. This af
ternoon hlawansky discovered Car
penteT with chicken under his coat
which he had just caught in the stable
and from which he had removed the
head by the simple device of twisting
its neck.
hlawansky detained the man until
the arrival of Constable Small and
was kicked several times by the pris-
oner. lie was taken before Squire
Feldmeyer, the officer aud his prisoner
being followed by an immense throng
OF people and Klawansky bringing up
the rear with the headless chicken in
his hand.
Carpenter stated TO the court that no
had secured the chicken from "a
man who handed il over the fence TO
him, but who he was he was unable
to state. The evidence against him
was OF very convincing nature aud
he was committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury in default of
$50 bail. A fine of 81 and costs was
assessed him for the assault he had
committed on klawansky in his efforts
to escape.

THE STATES FINANCES
Cannot Stand The Drain Upon
1t For The Public
Schools.

State Comptroller Atkinson has sub.
mitted his annual report to the Gov
ernor, showing operations of the treas.
ury of the state for the fiscal year end
ed September 80, 1904.
The most important feature of the
report is the conclusion reached by
Dr. Atkinson that the state treasury
cannot stand the drain of 5000, 900 for
public road improvement under the
Shoemaker act unless tax be levied
to meet the expenditure. While, of
course, the state is entirely solvent,
and while the treasury is in good con-
dition, there has been a large increase
in the state debt because of public
improvements and an increase in the
tax rate because of the demands of
the public schools.
The report shows that the total
amounts received into the treasury
proper during the fiscal year were
$4, 4l6, S2S. 80, exclusive, however, of
certain accounts, elsewhere explained
in the report. The balance in the
treasury proper at the close of the
last fiscal year was 81, 147, 410. AZ, and
must be added to the actual receipts
of 81. 416, S2S. 80, aggregating. there

He was elected Sheriff of this coun.
" in November. 1881. succeeding the
late Thomas Nutwell. He served till
1883 and later served two terms as tax
collector for the. county under the old
system. He was we'll and favorably
known during his earlier days, but his
open hearted manner caused him to
suffer many financial reverses by rea
son OF notes which he had endorsed
for friends.
his immediate family is we'll known
and respected and are among the prom
inent citizens of this city and Balti-
more. Just what the funeral arrange
ments will be have not, as yet. been
decided.
Chief Boatswains Mate Brown, who
occupied room on the third floor,
was forced TO leave the building with
such precipitation that he was unable
to save his shoes and hat, although he
managed TO gather up other of his be-
longings. Most of the other guests
managed to save their property.
AGE OF THE HOUSE.
The Chesapeake House was built over
90 years ago, and passed through
various Ivicissitudes. Thirty five years
ago, Henry bunker, then its proprie-
tor, entirely romodelled the structure
and it became known as a very i'm
portant hotel. The next owner was
James Smith and it was during his
regime that the second fire occurred.
Fourteen years ago Mrs. Boldt as
sumed the ownership of the hotel and
Mr.. Sunderland was engaged as man
ager, which position he has retained
up to the present. The building was
insured for $5, 600 and the contents
for 81, 800 in companies represented by
Prof. O. A. Zimmerman. 1t is
thought that the insurance will be
ample to cover all losses although the
front wall is in bad condition by rea-
son of the great pressure which had
been exerted against it from the in
side by reason of gthe compressed air
of the smoke and the cooling effect of
the water which was forcsd against it,
Work will be started at once looking
to tho early re-opening of the hotel
1t is said that the insurance adjusters
will examine the building today and
fix the loss.
This afternoon arrangements were
made for the funeral. 1t will be held
tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock at
Asbury church, near North Severn.
The body will be removed to the
church from here by Mr.. Jsmes S.
Taylor, the undertaken in charge of

very simple and thoroughly informal
There was no color scheme and no
special decorations. No elaborate
gowns were worn by the ladies in the
receiving part and the toilettes were
very simple, most of the gowns be-
ing plain white and few ornaments.
