At the February meeting of the
board it was decided to install ca
ble and winch on the bridge, solely
as an emergency measure to be used
when the gearing could. not be. This
measure has not been used as the
board and the public expected it
would be-the bridge tender giving
many and various reasons why it
should not be used, but | hope with
the Inhalation of the new gear our
bridge troubles will be thing OF

Tax Board Report IN.

The report of the State Tax
Commission appointed by Governor
Goldsborough to study the system
of taxation in Maryland and make
recommendations to be submitted
to the next Legislature has been
completed and was submitted to
the Governor today.
1t is understood that the report
is the most exhaustive and syste-
matte that has ever been made on
that subject in this State, and will
be of great value to such members
OF the Legislature as are inclined
to approach seriously the task of
tax reform.
1t is also understood that the
commission, in addition to taking
a strong stand for the creation of
a State Board of Equalization and
Review, as was urged by the late
Gov. Crothers, will urge the aboi-
ton of the fee system root and
branch SO far as it affects the sal
aries of the public officials.

Democrats at AOopsrsv||

What is said to haEs been tn
largest political meetf,g ever he'll
on the Middle Hooper's Island was
held at the new Mechanics Hall
last night, when a large number of
the citizens of that district, and
particularly of that section of the
district, gathered for the purpose
of hearing <ne issues discussed.
Addresses were made by James
S. Shepherd, candidate for the
State Senate; Comptroller Elmer
son C. Harrington, candidate for
reelection; George w. Holland and
Oscar Aaron, candidates for the
Legislature, and P. Watson Webb.
The question of the Democratic
party with reference to oyster leg
islation was clearly shown, the par
ty having adopted a plank in its
State platform that is equally bind
ing upon the members of the Leg
islature from all sections of the
State to restore to the oystern1en
all those rights which have been
taken from them by the provisions
Of the present oyster law, and fur
Their conclusively showing that such
legislation as may be passed must
be enacted by the Democrats of
the legislature as no one questions
the fact that both branches will
be overwhelmingly Democratic
The question which the oyster
men have to decide is whether they
will send Democrats from Dorches-
ter county to represent them in
Democratic Legislature, or whether
they will send Republicans, who
will be hopelessly in the minority,
and consequently, unable, except
by the consent of the Democratic
members, to pass a single piece of
legislation.
The oystermen seemed to be
thoroughly alive to the dangers con-
fronting them,a displayed marked
attention.

Tradition OisproVed.

A tradition that has been handed
down from generation to genera
ton among Cambridge people, and
which has quite generally been ac-
cepted, was today proved to be a
mistake. 1t has been known to
many persons that there were two
graves in the yard of the Wallace
property, now the home of Mrs.
James Wallace, and the popular be-
lief has been that one of them
was that of Roger Woolford, who
was said to have had a portion Of
the building erected, and to have
been buried in the yard.
By uncovering the graves this
morning, it was discovered that
the two graves were those of John
Woolford and his wife, Margaret,
who died in 1872 and 1878.
The inscription upon the stones
covering the graves is just as
plain today as are many of those
which have been erected only q
year or so, the marble being In q
splendid state of preservation per-
fectly clean, and the names just
as clear as if the stones had only
been cut a short time. The IN
scriptions are: r.
..In memory of John Woolford BON
OF James, who departed this life
the 18th day of May, 1773, aged
20 years." and "In memory Of
Margaret, the wife of John Who'll
ford, who departed this life the
Oath day Of February, 1772, In the
9th year of her age

Somerset 0ystermen Indignant.

Westover, Md, Oct. 13.-Ninety
men, armed with guns and accom-
panied by 3S women, their wives
and daughters, marched from their
homes in Paramount, Somerset coun-
ty, today to the leased oyster beds
in Tangier Sound and removed the
stakes marking the boundary Of
the private grounds.
The raiders were members of
the oyster dredging forces and their
avowed purpose was to make war
on. the oyster planters, who, they
declare, "had invaded the sacred
territories of Fairmount's posses
sions and leased oyster grounds for
the purpose of private planting"
Somerset county has been stirr-
ed for several days because of the
threatened outbreak of oystermen
against the planters of the coun-
ty, and the affair came to a climax
today.
The first raid was made upon
Porpoise Point. where Mr.. Crockett,
of Crisfield, has taken up between
$50 and 200 acres of bottom. The
stakes of the Crockett grounds were
pulled up and the watchhouse, erec-
ted by the proprietor, demolished.
