The summer of 1888 the KILLER

business in that village several
moves were made to and from the

son, Ed, of Pierpont, departed for
her bedside that evening hoping to
find her improving, but was called

The deceased is survived by one

Tale of q Fish.
For the Advocate.

Through a special invitation by
Augustus Hoffman, captain of Jolly
Fellows Fishing Club of Baltimore.
Charles Magin, Charles Rupert, Adam
Rupert and J. D. FoutZ, of near West
minister, had the pleasure of accom-
panying them on their annual fishing
excursion and crab roast on Saturday
last to Bodkins river, below Balti-
more. At two o'clock we were met at
the wharf by Captain Collins with his
fine launch, Eagle, Captain L. w. Cox
and his fishing boat and tackles, also
Augustus Hoffman with the commits
sary department. Among others who
accompanied were A. C. Hoffman, ].
Newman, VIM. Wheeler, ]. Pragle,
J. Maloy and Albert Cox.
We arrived at 6 o'clock on the beau
tiful river through the sand plains OF
Anne Arundel. All went to work and
by 10 o'clock bushels of fish were
safe in the live boxes and several
bushels of crabs. The catch consisted
of rock, white and yellow perch, about
two bushels of pike, 8 pound eel and
German carp, four of which came to
weighing 48 pounds.
{. At IL o'clock dinner was announced,
and oh We gods, what a repast. Fish
and crabs by the bushels, fried by ex-
pert cooks and in addition to the trim
mings from G.. Hoffman's commissary
made it a fish dinner long
to be remembered. 8lfk
Leaving the shore Sunday morning,
we arrived home at s, resolving that
fishing in Carroll is surely on the
bum.

quickly.
The summons to the house Tor re-
freshments was eagerly obeyed, anu
the expressions OF delight upon reach
ing the dlnlngrooms were universal
The color scneme was pink and white
and a large table ran the length OF
each room, and were laden with
cakes, candies, oranges, bananas,
lemonade, ice cream, gelatin, ETC..
which was very pleasing to the appe-
tite, and which presented scene not
soon to be forgotten.
After refreshments, vocal, instru-
mental and graphophone music were

TRIAL in Westminster
WIN. F. HARIG TO BE TRIED HERE FOR
MURDER OF JAS. N. MAHON
First Murder Case in Carroll County
Court tor Is Years.

William r. Harig, indicted on tGe
charge of numbering James NJ Mahon,
whom he shot and killed on March
81 last, will be tried in this city. and
not earlier than the second Monday of
next November. An order was signed
on Tuesday by Judge Sans te,novi ,g
the case for trial to the Circuit Court
for Carroll County. AS our court will
not be in session for the trial Of cases
until the second Monday of November,
when the term begins, Harigs case
will not be called for trial until Mo-
vember at least.
The order for the removal Of the
case was signed by Judge Sans after
Harig had, made affadavit that he
could not have a fair and impartial
trial in Baltimore, and Thomas q:
Hayes, his attorney, had made q
strong plea for sending it TO Carroll
county for trial. States Attorney
Owens wanted the case sent to Howard
county, as the term of court there
begins on the first Monday in Septcm-
ber, and it could be called for trial at
least two months earlier than IN this
county. lF
Mr.. Hayes declared that it would be
utterly impracticable for him to try
the case before November. For 10
years it has been his custom to 20 10
Nova Scotia early; in August and re-
main there until some time III Sep
tember An important case will de-
mand his attention in Septsmba:', he
said, and during October lie will be
occupied in the Court of Appeals. The
next jury term begins in Howard coun-
ty on September q, in Anne Arundel
county on October 19 and in Carroll
county on November 8. On account
of his vacation and professional en-
gagements, Mr.. Hayes sail, he will
therefore not be ready. to try the case
until November, and the term Of the
Carroll county court best suits him.
The last murder trial in Carroll
county was that of Burke and Ken
nedy, charged with killing policeman
at Locust Point, about Is years ago
This case was also brought here from
Baltimore city. AS in the present
case, the killing was the outgrowth OF
politics. The case was ctubbornly
fought, and the defendants got of

What THE TROLLEYDOE

VENIENCES OF The TOWN
Every Foot Along the Line Increases
In Value.

The trolley building from McSher-
rystown is within sight of I4ittlestown,
about a mile from the borough limits
on the Lawyer farm. What an inter-
esting sight modern trolley duiIding
is? The line is very busy place and
specially where the big cut IS being
made on the Lawyer farm. The road
bed of the trolley is being constructed
as though it was for steam railroad.
The right of way covers a width of
forty feet. Grades and curves arc
eliminated as much rs possible and for
much of the way the road is a straight
streak. Cuts and fills are beiLX made
to do away with curves The heaviest
cut is the one they are working at and
will be the last. as it will be plain
sailing when once through the Lawyer
cut. This cut is almost twenty feet
with a fill of almost the same height
on one side. Contractor Dotbling
adopts nothing but the best Of modern
methods in road building. the cut
has little If any rock and it is a signt
to see his string of plows turn into
the cut and with the power of live
mules take bite of earth as big as
a cart load and go of to the dump
with it. Unless there are unforeseen
difficulties the work ought TO be so
far completed by August 1st that Il
first car could be sent over the line.
Littlestown is standing in its own
light. While the work is in sight of
that borough and poles are erected to
the borough line, the Town Fathers
of that place are discussing the kind
of rail they want in the place. What

arms what they have been wanting for
twenty years.

which I thought worthy Of mention:
In Switzerland some of the Oldest

towns attribute their health and
vigorous old age to the continued use
of the old-fashioned dish Of cottage
cheese or,as we know it, curd, or
smearcase. They claim that it not
only promotes health, but at the same
time produces a beautiful, clear COM
