VOTE ON CHANGE OF NAME.
Citizens of Howard County Village
TO Decide by Ballot.

Special TO The Washington Herald
EIicott City. Md, Jan. For some
time past the residents Of the little ham,
let known as Jonestown. in the Second
district OF Howard County. two miles
north OF Elicott City, have been more or
less agitated over the question Of giving
il a new name. These frequent discus
sions have finally eliminated in a call for
a public meeting Of the citizens this week
to dispose of the question of naming the
place.
The village took its name from the
first settlers, it is stated. over 100 years
ago, and. naturally, there are some who
do not wish to have the name changed.
but il seems TO be the desire of the ma
Jority to give the thrifty little settlement
a new name. II is said that all the adult
residents. both male and female. viii be
allowed 10 ballot for the change. The
village now numbers about 200 inhabit-
ants. and included in its confines are two
churches-One Protestant Episcopal and
one Evangelical-a public school. stores.
d blacksmith and wheelwTight shop. &c.
The postal service is by rural free de-
livery from EllicOtt City. Several new
names have been proposed for the town.

Special 70 The Washington Herald.
Baltimore Md, Jan. Judge Harlan.
in the Criminal Court to-day, Overruied
the demurrer Of the State to special pleas
filed by counsel for the Maryland Club,
thus deciding that the special pleas are
sufficient answer 70 the indictment, charg-
ing the club with violating the Sunday
liquor law The decision is an emphatic
victory for the club. The case will b.
appealed.
The case was originally brought into
court under an idictment by the same
grand jury. which shortly before had re-
fused to return a true bill. BY every
one interested. with the exception Of the
prosecution, the case has been and is re-
garded as a test case 1t went before
the court on an admission of facts, and
was argued only on the question Of law.
In his opinion, Judge Harlan states in
part:
so far from intending 10 put social
clubs on the same footing as saloons II
seems 10 me TO evince an intention TO
Interfere with their previous legal status
only 20 the extent OF requiring them TO

/ ceuse the same fee as is required by
/ law 10 be paid In that city or county
where the club Is located and to satisfy
/ the authorities vested with the granting
/ Of licenses before the licenses can be pro-
/ cured Of the bona fde character Of their

/ hood where it proposes 20 locate. II
