which might give him IL months
Imprisonment and a fine of $500,
would order that he pay a fine of
$1O0 and be confined in the House

John w. Gisler, of Port Deposit,
was then again put on trial on the
charge of selling liquor to John R.
Pounds. Gisler was represented
by Albert Constable. The jury
after short absence returned with
a verdict of not guilty.
George W. Lamm, of Port De-
posit, was fined $5 for failing to ap-
pear before the grand jury.
James Watson, of near French
town, was placed on trail, Friday
morning, on the charge of murder
ing his brother-in law, Walter
Alexander, of near Rowlandville,
one evening last December during
a quarrel at Watson's home.
Messrs. A. L. Crothers and o. d.
Crothers counsel for Watson; States
Attorney Squier for State.
The case occupied the attention
of the Court the entire day, large
number of witnesses being ex-
amined.
In the argument States Attorney
Squier said he would not ask for
verdict of guilty in the first degree
but the testimony warranted one of
second degree. Messrs. Omar D.
and Austin L. CrOthers made
strong pleas for Watson, claiming
that the facts showed that he had
acted in self-defense as he had a
perfect right to do in his own
house when attacked. Besides it
was doubtful whether the periton-
tits, of which Alexander died, had
resulted from the wound or from
the operation. The case was given
to the jury about 4:3O p. M, which
after about 5 hours deliberation re-
turned with a verdict of not guilty.

proceeded with the trial of Moore

for the plaintiff.

The case of State vs.. John W.

was taken up on Wednesday of
last week. Gisler had no counsel
and could not be assigned any,
but was allowed the aid of
an attorney to strike jury.

himself, questioned the states wit
nesses. The case was given to

which failing to agree upon a verdict
before court adjourned, spent the
night in the custody of Bailiff
Dean.

Thursday morning, when the Fore
man of the jury in State VS.. Gisler
announced it was impossible to
agree and was discharged.
W. S. Evans, counsel for Stephen
MARVEL, of Port Deposit, charged
with being the father of an illigi-
mate child, interposed plea to the
Courts jurisdiction over the case
on the ground that Justice Har-
woods docket. entries of it, the
tenor of that magistrates judgment
and the bond given in accordance
Herewith were not in conformity
with the provisions of the Code.
The plea was sustained by the ma
jority of the Court.

larceny of a razor, the property of

ployed as solicitor of orders for

sentence of six months in the House
of Correction.

street, Elkton, charged with selling
liquor, was next tried. The case
was given to the jury at 1866.
After the recess, the Court sent for
the jury Judge Pearce saying that
the Bench had been informed that
one of the jurors (Mr. Flintham)
was opposed to convictions in liquor
cases. His Honor asked Mr.. Flint
ham if he would not vote to con-
vict, if 'the facts so warranted.
Mr.. Flintham replied that most nn-
doubtedly he would Under all cir
cumstances. The jury again retir-
ed, and shortly afterwards return
ed with a verdict of guilty with a
recommendation to mercy. His
Honor Judge Martin said that, if
Pyle had violated the law in the
heat of passion or under stress of
poverty or temptation, the recon-
mendation might deserve attention
but as he had gone into the liquor
business clearly for the sake of gain

R. B. Spikes. negro saloonist, was arrested again yesterday for doing business without a license. As long as he Keeps his saloon in Brewery open in opposition to the city authori ties, it was said yesterday afternoon he will be arrested daily hencefor ward.
 This policy was determined upon by the City Attorneys office after careful investigation of the law. The latter in the opinion of the attorney, makes each drink sCld by a saloonist without city license 8 separate offense punish. able by a separate fine. The negroes in Brewery will not, for the present al least, be arrested every time a drink is sold. Once day will satisfy the officials.
 The city authorities can not see that the license committee defying saloon. ists have the slightest shCw for win, ming their contention. which is that they consider the license committee appointed by Council not to have legal existence they need not have it's sane. tion in order to do business The City Attorneys office takes the stand that the saloonists are doing business illegally without a license. and that it makes no difference whether the the council license committee is a legal body or not.

WORK ON SEWER
 PLANS COMMENCES
ENGINEER oLMSTEAD GOT INTO rtGGO PhOsur lLT GESiER
 DAY MOANING.
Win Push Work Forward as Rapidly as Poss,D. .e-F aVors SarTace Outlet for me oewer-AounoanI VI ater odpPiy IS Avauaole tor Flushing.

In pursuance of understanding with the IOunCu, that ln elenI Ot award De ing made to him Of the contract tO prepare plans and specifications tol the sewer system, ne would commence work at carry date, Engineer Olmstead was in the field yesterday morning with a force or men who will do the preliminary tieid work. The start made by the engineer marked more promptness than had been anticipated, he not having been expected to com mence work before Monday.
 T shall crowd the work straight ahead, said MT. Olmstead yesterday Just how long it will be before the specifications are finished, l can not say. There is a great deal of detail work to be accomplished in thorough manner before the specifications Will be in readiness for contractors to make intelligent bids upon and before they will afford the taxpayers of the city the clear information that they are entitled to before voting bonds for the construction of a sewer on the plans submitted. | can not say deti- nitely, but there is probably two months work ahead"
 Engineer Olmstead came to the city yesterday morning from Douglas, where on Friday night the city coun- cil adopted plans he submitted for sewer for that town. These plans call for an expenditure of S65. 900. Tax payers will be asked by the Council to vote bonds in this sum. Sceptic tanks will be used at Douglas. MT. Olmstead is inclined to oppose this system of disposal of sewage for Bis Lee. or the ground that carriage to surface outlet, entailing construction of about two and a half miles more of sewer line, will in the end prove more economical and satisfactory. The matter of water supply enters into his opinion in this matter. Sceptic tanks would eliminate, to a material extent, the availability of mine water for sewer flushing purposes, while with surface outlet, mine water for flush ing purposes would be as useful as any other. Regarding this feature, MT. Olmstead said yesterday he would confer with the Council from time to time, as his work progressed, and thought tEat definite conclusion would be reached before the specifications for both sceptic tank and surface out let sewers, leaving choice to the Coun- Gil on completion of his work. Re garding water available for flushing purposes, MT. Olmstead is confident of sufficient supply, no matter which manner of outlet for the sewer is adopted. An entirely fresh water supply, however, for the sceptic tank system would of course be more ex- pensive of attainment than if mine water could be used in conjunction with the fresh water supply that is to be secured. Just where the latter is to come from MT. Olmstead has not stated, but he has said that he has satisfied himself that Tombstone can yon will produce all the water that may be needed.

George Pemberton. who lives out near the big farm which is being irri. gated from the mine waters, was iii town yesterday and gave some infor. nation of an exceedingly interesting nature. MT. Pemberton sold consid- erable of h-s property to the Hoval A. Smith syndicate, and has kept in touch with what is going oA out that way.
 In speaking of what was being done al the farm. he said that it was turn ing out 10 be a great success, and that people would be surprised to learn what could be raised in the valley when water fer irrigation purposes was brought to it.
 In the first place, ten acres of pea nuts planted last summer have done exceedingly well, and the fall crop of the toothsome "gubers" eaten in Bis bee this year will .colne from the farm.
 Cucumbers F inches long are still in the patch waiting to be picked.
 Melons are rotting because the gar derer who had his land on shares did not have enough teams to bring them into the city.
 Green corn and other delicious vege. tables all grow in the soil to perfec- tion, and the experiments going on show that almost anything but tropi- cal fruits can be grown.
 Mir. Pemberton says that he under stands the company is so well satisfied with what has been done so far that It Intends to branch out on a great scale next year.
 Over 2000 acres will be placed under ditches. and the truck garden is to be increased until it will cover 100 acres, probably the largest vegetable patch in the territory
 The pleasure grounds around the lake are 10 be made thing of beauty and joy forever. Sloping lawns of blue grass, dotted with trees and shrubs, are to he one of the features. Boats and swilnming baths another. and handsome buildings. with broad. shady verandas are 10 be built on the shore.
 MT. Pemberton further says that he believes the company will hold the water in the lake solely for pleasure purposes, and secure other ground upon which to build a great reservoir for the storage of irrigation waters. The plan of the company is to turn the How from the mines into the reser- voir during the winter months, when 1t is not needed on the farm. and place more ground under cultivation than can be irrigated by the natural summer flow from the mines.
 Many new buildings are in course of construction at the present time. he says. and others are planned for the various departments of the farm.
 From MT. Pemberton's description the valley between the Mule Noun tains and Osborne will be one great garden next summer. and the old cac- tus plants will have to take to the hills.
