GRAND JURY REPORT.
Severely Scores City Officials
for Sanitary Neglect.

Following is the report of the
grand jury, as submitted to the
court on Wednesday last:
"We have been in session fol-
10 days, and we have examined
2S1 witnesses, found 80 present
ments and indictments, dismisse d
90 cases, end discharged 4 pris
oners confined in the county Jail.
awe visited Montevue Hos.
pital and inspected it thoroughly
We find that there are 1927 in
mates in said institution, l67 of
which are insane patients sent
there from other counties; nearly
every county in the State is rep
resented. We found the institu
ton in first class order and clearly
condition, and too much praise
cannot be given TO the present
superintendent and his able as.
sistants for their untiring efforts
in ministering to the wants and
comforts Of the unfortunates in
their charge. We found the col
ored ward very much crowded,
and suggest that the County
Commissioners adopt some plan
to relieve this condition.
eve also visited the Jail and
found it and the premises in first
class condition, and everything
done by the sheriff and his as
sistants for the comfort and
health of the prisoners, compat-
ible with prison life. We con
graduate the sheriff upon his at
tention to the various duties in
ci mbent Upon him, by virtue of
his high Office.
ave recommend to the author
tiles that they commit to Jail,
instead of Montevue, those per.
sons who are arrested for drunk
enness, etc.
"We regret to report that the
health officers have been very
derelict in their duties and have
caused the grand jury to take
much of its time in summOning
witnesses, thereby incurring a
heavy expense on the county, and
inquiring into the sanitary con
dition of the city, which we find
in some places in a deplorabie
state, and menacing the health
of the citizens of Frederick.
"We find that there is no sys-
TEN of inspection, and suggest
a most rigid examination be made
at least once a month by the
proper officer, and more espec-
tally during the summer months.
We find some of the streets and
alleys of the city in a very neg
lected condition, in some places
refuse and Objectionable matter
impeding the proper drainage of
the cutters, grass and weeds
growing in some of the streets,
and that some private alleys are
in an unhealthy state. We find
some persons keeping more hogs
than the city ordinance allows,
and their pens IN an extremely bad
| condition and in places slaughter
house drainage mixing with
street drainage. We believe that
with a little more attention on
the part of the city officials these
conditions would not exist.

F. r. Zimmerman Takes His
Life.

For no apparent reason Francis
Il. Zimmerman, a farmer, 62 years
of age, living near Manor Church.
this county, committed suicide
shortly before 6 o'clock Monday
evening by shooting himself in
the head. Death was almost in
Simultaneous. A short time prior
to committing the deed Mr.. Zim-
norman went to his room and in
a few minutes his wife heard the
report of a revolver, and hasten
ing to his room saw the form of her
husband lying across the bed. A
physician was hastily summoned,
but when he arrived life was ex-
tinct. The deceased was a retired
farmer, and when last seen was in
his usual cheerful frame of mind.
Besides his wife he is survived by
two sons-Albert and Millard-
and two daughters, Mrs. John
Cutler, near Manor Church, and
Mrs LOttie Burke, of Frederick.

Fire Endangers Property at
Braddock Heights.

Between 9 and 3 O'Clock Mon
day morning fire Of an unknown
origin destroyed the store build
ing owned by the Frederick and
Middletown Railroad Company
and stock of goods valued at
81, SOC, owned by j. Frederick
Main, at Braddock Heights. The
four story observatory adjoining
the store was blistered by the heat
of the flames but was saved by
the wind blowing in an opposite
direction. Hasty arrangements
were made to transport fire appa-
ratus from Frederick had the
flames threatened the other build
ings. The company's loss on the
building is about $1,000. The
stock of goods is insured for
81, 900.

HOLDS LICEN LAW
VOID.
Frederick Court Declares CITY
Cannot Exact Rev enue
This Way.

The city ordinance passed by
the Mayor and Aldermen in Au.
gust, 1904, under the provisions
of an act of the General Assem-.
bly, of the same year, for the
licensing of trades, professions
and various occupations carried
on IN Frederick, was declared
illegal by the court last Friday
afternoon. The case was brought
before the court on a writ of certi-
orari by Jacob Notnagle, who had
been arrested for refusing to take
out licence for butchering and
also for refusing to take out
license for vehicle.
At the conclusion of the argu.
ment Judge McSherry delivered
a forcible opinion of some length
to the following effect:
That the statute under which
the city claimed the right to levy
and collect what is termed the
license tax conferred no authority
to imprison a person for pursuing
his occupation without taking out
a city license.
That the obvious purpose of the
act of 1904 was to give the city
power to issue licenses for trades
and occupations falling within
the limits of the police power.
but that the act gave no power
to the city to raise revenue under
the guiSe of such a license, and
as the ordinance avOwedly under
took to raise revenue beyond
the amount which would be ad-
equate to the exercise of the pO-
lice power it was void.
The ordinance, which was
known as a blanket license law,
was originated by the CONNER
clal Club of Frederick, with the
view of increasing the revenues
of the city. Soon after the pas
sage of the act of the General
Assembly authorizing the new
system of taxation the Mayor and
Aldermen passed an ordinance
requiring all persons engaged in
trades and professions, including
law, medicine and dentistry, to
take out a license. A vigorous
protest went up from attorneys,
physicians and dentists, who
claimed that neither the Legisla-
ture nor the city had power TO
license or regulate the practice
of such professions.
During the first year of the
laws enforcement 81. 2S4.93 was
paid for licenses, some profess
sional men taking out the license.
This year S2,647.35 was all that
the license yielded.
Upon the refusal of Mr.. Not
nagle to comply with the ordi-
nance the city authorities caused
his arrest, whereupon he took the
matter to the Circuit Court. The
case was heard before Judges Nc
Sherry and Henderson, both
judges agreeing. The case was
argued at considerable length
by the attorneys for each side
and much public interest was
manifested at the outcome.
