a fancy to be run down by steam railroad
trains. A number of deaths have been re-
ported by people who tried to drive their ma
chimes across tracks in front of rapidly ap-
preaching trains Why people will take such
chances it would be no use to attempt to
explain.

1.-THE trolley cars looked gay this week
with their decorations in honor of the fiftieth
anniversary Of the street car in Baltimore.
Half century ago the system consisted of
one 2,horse car. Now it has hundreds of cars
propelled by electricity and thousands of men
to run them. The United Railways Company
has one of the largest and best systems in the
country, for which thanks are largely due to
President VIM. A. House. who planned this
weeks celebration.
The Fight Against Hog Cholera.-If the
experiments made by the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board continue as successfully as they
were last week it is thought that system will
able the Board to prevent hog cholera in Mary
land and save breeders about 5000, 900 year.
1t is estimated that over $4,000 hogs die an
nually in Maryland of cholera. Until expert
ments were made every attempt to check the
plague when 1t appeared had been unavailing
and many farmers have been seriously Grip
pied financially by such losses.
The Government Bureau of Animal Industry
lately worked out system of injecting serum
in hogs, which was calculated to prevent them
from contracting cholera. Another system of
injecting virus with the serum, the latter coun-
teracting the virus, renders the hogs immune
DR.. D. ]. Shore, of the bureau, and DIR. f. II.
Mackie, the State veterinarian, recently ex-
perimented with IL hogs on the farm of DR..
Richard Hill, at Upper Marlboro. Three had
the cholera virus injected in them. The re-
naming eight were injected simultaneously
that the three hogs with the virus injection
died from cholera, while the eight with the
serum and virus injections were we'll.
The Board intends, if the experiments are
finally successful, to buy q small farm, manu-
facture the serum and sell it to farmers at cost
price. 1t is hoped that the Legislature or Gov
ernor Crothers will be asked to increase the an
nual appropriation of the Board.
Receiver for a Farmers Estate.-On
Tuesday Chief Judge Burke appointed Mr..
George A. Softer receiver for the estate of the
late William r. Conn, who was well known
farmer of the I'd district. A bill asking for a
receiver was filed by Harry G. Johnston, Caro-
line Hayes and Mary Florence Weaver, all
grandchildren of Mr.. Conn, against Mrs. Agnes
p. Smith, who is a daughter of the deceased
and who resides on the farm which was owned
by her father.
1t is alleged that previous to his death Mr..
Conns mind became impaired and it is charged
that Mrs. Smith induced him to deed his real
estate to her and also to give over his bank de-
posts, amounting to Sill 900, to the defendant.
This money, it is stated, is either concealed in
| the house or on the farm of Mr.. Conn and is
in great danger of being lost or stolen. The
court is asked to set aside the deed by which
MIR. Conn conveyed his real estate to his daugh-
ter and to require her to give an accounting of
all money that was on deposit in the banks in
the name of Mr.. Conn.
By the order of the court Mrs. Conn is re-
strained from disposing of any property held
| by her which belonged to her father. Judge
| Burke fixed the bond of the receiver at $500
| and the defendant is given leave to move for
the dissolution of the Injunction.
