MUST CUT EXPENSES
Magistrates Most Not Hold In
quests In Trivial Cases.

Mr.. James p. Bannon. attorney to
the Board of County Commissioners,
made suggestion to the board yester-
day. which will probably result in
considerable of saving TO tire county
yearly. Ii has TO do with the matter
of holding inquests in cases where
there was no attending physician on
the person dying.
For some time it has been the prao-
tice of magistrates TO hold an inquest
in every such case, the cost for each
being in the neignborhood of $l7 TO
$25. Every month there has been
several of these bills and the report
of the jury in the cases has been al
most invariably that natural causes
were responsible for the death.
Yesterday Mr.. Bannon was looking
over six or seven new bills for coro-
ners' inquests as made by the magis-
trates which he thought were entire
ly needless. He said that in all of
them simple viewing of the body
would have denoted the cause of death
without the expense of summoning a
jury. The commissioners wanted to
know whether he advised that the bills
be repudiated, to which he replied
that he did not think that the proper
course to pursue, as the magistrates
had held .the inquests in good faith
and to refuse to pay their bills, which
had already been contracted, would
be manifest injustice to them.
Mr.. Bannon advised that the bills
already rendered be paid, but that
hereafter the magistrates shall first
secure the permission of the States
Attorney before conducting an in
quest. The board then passed the
bills, at the same time instructing the
clerk to notify the magistrates that
hereafter they shall first confer with
the States Attorney before summon
ing jury of inquest. They are TO be
further advised that any bill for such
service must be endorsed by the
states Attorney before it will pass
the board.

REV. PETERS TO LEAVE
After Six Years Of Service at
The Maryland Avenue
M. E. Church.

The Baltimore Conference the high
est church court of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, will meet i'm less
than two weeks. At this meeting
there will be effected many changes
in ministers and their charges.
1t is expected that the Rev. George
W. Miller, ID. d.. pastor Of the First
VI. Il. Church, will be returned to his
present charge, but the Rev. i. K.
Peters, pastoraof Maryland Avenue NJ
+. Church, will be removed to an
other field Mr.. Peters has been at
his present charge sfor six years, one
year longer than usual. He has made
the best pastor the church has ever
had for he has been instrumental in
relieving the church Of its burden OF
debt, largely incurred by some Of his
predecessors.
Mr.. Peters has worked hard and
faithfully for the good of Maryland
Avenue Church and the uplifting of
its congregation, both the spiritual
and material welfare. No preacher
has done more for the good Of this
church than Mr.. Peters, and it is with
deep regret that his congregation and
the citizens of Annapolis part with
him two weeks hence.
