The funeral services were held in
St. Mary's Catholic Church, this town, Tues
day morning, with interment in the family
lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Father James
F. Mackin, of Washington city, conducted
the services. While stationed at the church
here, 40 years ago he performed the cere-
mony that united Mr.. Clagett in marriage.
Walter Booze, negro man, was brought
to jail here on Saturday night last in the
custody of Sheriff Howard, charged with
wounding his wife, Marie Booze, with a
load of shot discharged from single barrel
shotgun at house in the neighborhood of
Grifton, this county, occupied by negroes.
The load of shot was fired from the out
side of the house through a window and
took effect in the woman's left eye. She
is now in Washington city hospital, but
there is little hope for her to survive the
assault. A short distance from the house
where Booze did the shooting is his home,
and it was here that the sheriff found
him when in pursuit of him, which was
begun on notification few minutes after
the deed was committed. 1t is thought
that jealousy prompted Booze to assault
his wife, though he refuses to assign any
reason for his rash act.
Last Tuesday the County Commissioners
agreed to take over five miles of the Sew
enth Street pike lying between Norbeck
and Brookeville, this county, at $4,000.
For the sixteen miles of the pike between
Norbeck and the District line an offer Of
$4,000 has been made by the State Good
Roads Commission for the purpose of max
it State road. A meeting of the Union
Turnpike Company will be held on the 25th
instant to either reject or accept these
offers. If they are accepted, the County
Commissioners will levy a special tax upon
the property holders of Olney and Wheaton
districts, in which the county's portion of
the pike lies, to redeem the bonds to be
issued and sold to pay the purchase price.
A special election will be held to obtain
the consent of the legal voters of the two
districts to the issuance of the bonds.
