TO co AFTER RAILROAD co.
County Authorities Insit Upon Pay
ment Of Fund in Connection With
Clnsinn Oh RaaI.

Very little business of general inter
est claimed the attention of the Coun-
ty Commissioners at their regular
weekly meeting yesterday.
In accordance with an order adopted
Commissioner Brown, of the Fourth
district, and Counsellor Melvin will
act as committee to wait upon the
law firm of Messrs. Bernard Carter
and Sons counsel for the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington
Railroad Company, and insist upon
the payment by the railroad COM
pany of $1,000 promised to help de-
fray expenses incident to closing an
old road in the Fourth district, and
opening a new one in the same Sec
ton.
The old road furnished a danger
Gus crossing at the railroad COM
pany's tracks, and to close it and Sc
cure right of way for the new thor
oughfare caused the county to pur
chase additional property. Notwith-
standing the agreement of the rail-
road company, its officials have made
no attempt to pay the money prom
ised.
The Board also adopted an order
providing that in future no county
officials will be permitted to draw
their salaries in advance. This is
done in order to insure a uniform
compliance with the law. and all
salaries will now be paid either
monthly or quarterly as the case may
be. The question arose in connection
with the salary of the Clerk to the
Election Supervisors.
The Treasurer was directed to re-
fund to Rufus Phelps $l1.75, on ac-
count of taxes paid on house at Glen
Burnie that was destroyed by FIRE.
The Board has given directions
for installing a telephone in the resi-
dence of Constable George E. Thomas,
of this city.

BILLY" NAVY MASCOT

GOatship Died Today as Result Of
Attack Of Gelic.
SOME THINK 1T IL OMEN.
Middies Grieve Over Loss Bus Are Not
SuperstiiiOus With Army Game
Near at Hand.

There is grief today among the bril-
iment Of midshipmen at the Naval
Academy because BILLY" the goat,
and official mascot of the Academy in
athletic contests with the rival cadets
of the West Point Military Academy,
il dead.
billy" has followed the fortunes
of the Navy football and baseball
teams Tor the past seven years, and
already was making preparations for
his annual trip to Quakertown. where
he has proudly strutted over the turf
of Franklin Field in the years that
the middies tmeged from the annual
football battles, with victory.
Measured few days ago for his
buds, consisting of blanket of Gold
and SBlue, the Navy colors, at the
tailoring establishment of w. H.
Bells & Co., his Roatship had begun
to prance about as if realizing that
the time for him to do his annual stunt
and enjoy good vacation, was about
at hand. A couple of days ago, how
ever, he began to act sluggish.
1t was found that Billy was afflict-

ease among goats, and although his
kee per, Samuel Allen, colored man
living at 80 Northwest street, did
everything possible to bring the mas
cot around all right and have him in
shape for the jaunt to Philadelphia
next week, Billy failed to respond to
treatment and turned up his toes this
morning.
Allen Immediately reported the de-
mise OF the mascot to Commander
George W. Logan. eommandant of
the midshipmen, and it spread quickly
among the corps of students. The
goat will be laid away by his keeper
in his new cover Cf gold and blue
cloth
1t is understood that the midsbip-
men hav arranged to get another goat
to accompany the regim snt to Quaker
town, for it would hardly do to make
the trip without the usual mascot,
which has always been one of the
amusing sidelights of the great grid
iron struggles.
The death of Billy, with the game
so close at hand. has. caused many to
wonder whether it is an i'll omen.
But the middies are not at all super
stitutious, aad they will be chock full
of enthusiasm when they march on
to Franklin Field to root" their
team to victory.
