Dwelling Burned.-The home of Mr.. Geo.
Schneider, near the Emile lane, Sd district, was
destroyed by fire about 6 O'Clock on Friday
morning of last week, causing loss of about
$1,000. Very little of the contents was saved.
The fire companies from Arlington and Pixies
Vile responded to the alarm. but arrived too
late to be of much service. The fire was caused
by the explosion of coal oil stove in q sum-
mer kitchen attached to the house. The loss
is fully covered by insurance.

DR.. Price Wants Better Water for High
landtown and Canton.--Concerned about
the frequency of typhoid fever at Highland
town and Canton, DR.. Marshall L. Price, sec
ietary of the State Board OF Health, is consid-
ering the idea of having Baltimore city supply
that portion of the suburbs with water when
the SIS, 600 600 reservoir is completed.
The residents of HighlandtOwn and Canton
are now supplied with water from private
concern which has franchise from the coun-
ty authorities to lay pipe and supply water.
The question of having the city lay pipes, and
to all intents and purposes cut OF the revenue
from the concern, is serious one, although
DR.. Price says it may be possible to have an ar.
rangement made whereby the water can be
supplied to the private concern by the city at
a reasonable cost.
"The city," said DR.. Price, has condemned
a great deal of property in Baltimore county
and cut off an appreciable amount from the
tax books, SO that think it woulo be an equi-
table proposition if the city could in some way
manage to supply that part of Baltimore coun-
ty with water.
1--WE are just now tracing up the water sup
plies for Highlandtown and Canton in an eff
fort to purify the sources and thus decrease
the amount of Typhoid fever. This disease is
present in the two places practically all the
year round. The water which the city. is going
to get from that new IS, 000 900 reservoir if the
loan is passed, will be about as pure as it could
be without special filtration process, and as
pure perhaps as is needed. 1t would be great
boon to the residents of Highlandtown and
Canton if they could get that water.
'The two places are just next door to the
city. Right across the street, you might say,
and it would not entail any great cost. The
water supply company of the county will, of
course, have to be taken into consideration,
but 1 think on the whole plan could be
worked out ~

Pleasant Hill, 9th District.-Mr. Absalom
Baker, of this place, died last Sunday morn
ing of heart failure. He was native of the
9th district and spent his life of nearly SO years
in this community. He was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Thompson, who died
over thirty years ago. His second wife was a
Miss Turnbaugh daughter of the late Conrad
Turnbaugh. There were ten children by the
first union and six by the last. Four sons and
five daughters survive him. His last wife died
about two years ago Mr.; Baker was charter
member of Middletown Lodge of the l. o. o..
F. His funeral took place last Tuesday after
noon at Middletown, Rev. Charles E. Hender!
son having charge. Mr.. P. N. HartensteiD, of
New Freedom, was funeral director. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. William Oeligrath
John Fultz, William Fultz, E. E. Bull, E. v.
Cross and Peter B. Hoffman, members of the
order.
The wife of Mr.. e. D. Scott, of Rayville, is
still quite feeble.
Mr.. A. H. Baker of Baltimore moved to his
farm bought of Mr.. Maurice McAnee, short
time ago near this place, last Wednesday.
A very heavy rain visited this section on
Friday, July oath, washing the fields and roads
badly.
The face of everything seems much changed
since the recent rains. The corn is growing
vigorously and is quite promising. The grass
fields present a verdant appearance and on the
whole crops are promising, with the exception
of potatoes.
1t is quite amusing to drop in at the stores,
or on our street corners and hear our friends
discussing the political situation AS there is
such variety of political parties from which
to make choice, and all have some following,
it taxes the intellectual ingenuity of US old
farmers to hold up our end of the argument
But it is conceded by the most of our folks
that the man with the most avoirdupois will
hold down the Presidential chair for the next
four years. as we are all in favor OF continu-
alton of prosperity. B.

Motorcar Runs Down Boy-Driver Fails
to Stop.-John Nj. Stevenson, aged II years.
son of DR.. Fl. Burton Stevenson, of Sherwood,
N. G. r. R., was run over by an automobile
last Saturday night resulting in four of his ribs
being broken. In addition to this the boys
father said that he is also injured internally,
the wheel of the car having passed over his
stomach. The automobile that ran him down
was without lights. DR.. Stevenson said he
noticed it passing few minutes before Mr..
Russell Cook, neighbor, found his son lying
in the gutter. The machine, without lights
and drifting down the hill without power and,
consequently, noiselessly, probably surprised
the boy as he was crossing the road.

FOOTBALL RULES
RADICALLY CHANGED
ILLEGAL TOUCH PLAY ELIMINAT'
ED BY COMMITTEE
Forward Pass Considerably improved
All Forfeited Games
Must Be Scored
to o

b. Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.--Important
changes in the rule of governing the
forward pass which proved Of
advantage to weaker teams, and other
football legislation were made by the
intercollegiate football rules committee
which concluded its session here to-
night.
The new rule on the play OF the
forward pass covers the Illegal touch
ing of the ball. When illegally touched
the side making the illegal play loses
the ball to its opponent on the spot
from which the pass was made.
According to the new rule only the
man on the passer's side who first
legally touched the ball may hereafter
take 1t until it has been touched by
an opponent If the forward pass is
legally touched and then free and Is
then touched by another player of the
passers' side, the ball goes to the OPP
ponents at the spot where touched.
The committee considered the ques-
ton of defensive tactics in connection
with the forward pass, and it was de-
cided that while the forward pass is
in the air, the players of the defensive
side may not use their hands or arms
on their opponents except to push them
out of the way to get at the ball. In
order to eliminate holding and tackling,
1t is provided that the players of the
side making the forward pass, who are
eligible to receive the pass, may use
their hands and arms Just the same
way that players go down under the
kick
A new rule was passed making the
intermission between the halves of the
game fifteen minutes. A delay of two
minutes beyond that time gives the
ball to the field, which may then place
the ball on the thirty yard line of the
offending eleven.
Another rule adopted provides that
all forfeited games hereafter are to
score as 1 to Q.
The committee passed a rule that all
penalties, except in the case of a man
disqualified, may be declined by the
offending side. In the future the field
Judge will act as timer instead OF the
linssman.
