CHIEF JUDGE THOMAS In HIS OPIN-
ION FOR SPRINGFIELD HOSPITAL TO
COMPLETE SEWERAGE.

In the opinion filed on December 21
by Chief Judge William II. Thomas in
the suit Of T.. Frank Ely and wife
against Springfield State Hospital and
Clement Clark, superintendent, ID as
follows: That the defendant by
emptying sewerage from the build
ings Of the Springfield State Hospital
into Piney Run unlawfully deprived
the plaintiffs Of their right to the en-
joyment and use of said stream where
it passes through their land for the
purposes for which it would otherwise
have been adapted; that the defend
ants be and are hereby allowed until
February Is, 1915, to complete the
sewerage system now under con-
struction by them for the purpose of
preventing a recurrence of said nui-
sance; that leave be and is hereby
reserved to the plaintiffs to apply for
an injunction in this case in the event
of a recurrence, after the above men
toned date of the pollution of said
stream by the defendants to the ex-
tent OF depriVing the plaintiffs of
their right to use the same for the
purpose stated, and that the costs in
this case be paid by the defendants"
The declaration alleges that the
plaintiffs are in possession OF and re-
siding on a farm near Sykesville, ad-
Joining the land OF the State Of Mary
land, in possession Of and under con
troll Of the defendants; that a large
stream Of water, known as Piney run,
flows through the farm of the plain
tiffs; that before the wrongs complain
ed Of in the declaration the water Of
the stream was of good and whole
some character, served for all agrar-
ian purposes" says the complainants,
"and enabled the plaintiffs to conduct
successfully large cattle and dairy
ing business; that on October 1, 1911,
and continuously since that time the
defendants have polluted and contami-
mated the said stream of water by
causing and permitting to be emptied,
! or drained thereinto, or into sewers
leading into said stream, from the
buildings of the Springfield State Hos
pital, foul matter and unwholesome

His Conscience Bothered.

The ragged wayfarer trudged up
the garden path bathed in the sun
shine and took of his hat to the lady
at the door. She eyed him keenly and
a look of recognition passed over her
countenance.
Look here" she said, you called
at this house in the middle of the
winter"
Il did, ma'am," he sorrowfully ad-
mitted.
And | gave you a good meal on
condition that you swept the snow
out of my back yard"
That's right, ma'am."
"And when you had the meal you
went off without doing it,
The man passed the back Of his
hand tremulously over his eyes.
Yes, ma'am," he said, brokenly,
"and my conscience smote me. That's
why I've tramped all the way back,
under the scorching sun, to finish the
lob"

CATTLE SCOURGE COSTLY.
Slaughtered Live Stock Valued at $40,-
0OO-Maryland's share $4,000.

The State Live Stock Board has COM
pleted compilation of the cost Of
herds of cattle and other live stock
slaughtered during the recent epidem-
ic of foot-and-mouth disease in this
state. The total cost is about 0,000,
of which sum Maryland's share is $685.
600. The state board has not this sum
in its treasury, and the next legisla-
ture will be called upon to make an
appropriation to cover the cost
Under agreement with the federal
government the State and Federal
Bureau of Animal Industry each pay
one-half the appraised value of every
animal infected by the disease and al
so each one-half of the expenses of
fighting the outbreaks.
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
issued statistics yesterday show
ing that a total of 1,349 flesh animals
were subjected to the disease In Mary
land during the epidemic and were
slaughtered. For these animals the.
state must pay a. it, share to the
owners $21 ,313.91, and to this amount
must be added the expenses of large
force Of veterinary inspectors, the cost
of slaughtering the stock, the digging
Of the trenches for their burial and
the cost Of lime and other disinfect-
ants.
The epidemic was first discovered in
Maryland on November last on the
farm of William H. Hykes, six miles
from Hagerstown and in Washington
county. The original report made by
a local veterinarian and his diagnosis
was confirmed on the following day by
DR.. Lawrence Hick, the state veteri-
marian, and DIR. William Hickman, of
the Federal Bureau of Animal Indus
try. Since the first outbreak the dis
ease spread to 40 farms in various
parts Of the state. At present the dis
ease is believed to be generally wiped
out in Maryland, but rigid quarantines
are still in force on farms where the
scourge appeared.
For time the local stock yards
were closed and all movements OF
live stock, hay and other animal food
supplies into Or out OF Maryland Oh
from one part of the state to the other
we're forbidden. The general quaran-
tine has been eased UP until at pres
ent animals located outside of five
nile zone from infected farms may be
shipped to all parts of the state after
by veterinarians and sim
lar regulations are in force for the
shipment of stock for food purposes
o other states.

FILES OPINION in
DIVORCE CASE.
CHIEFJUDGE THOMASREFUSE TO GRANTS
DIVORCE TO MIR. AND mrs. TEISER.

Chief Judge w. III. Thomas filed his
opinion In the divorce suit Of Sig
mund r. Teiser VS.. Helen w. Teiser,
On December 22 and says: "As the
evidence in the case does not support
the important averments OF either OF
the bills, and a. Mrs. Teiser does not
appear to have any property or
means, both Of the bills will b. dis
missed, and Mr.. Teiser will be re
Quired to pay costs.
On July Is, 1914, Sigmund T. Teiser
filed bill Of complaint against his
wife for divorce and the custody Of
their two sons on the ground of aban-
donment and desertion. On the 28th
of the same month Mrs. Teiser flied q
petition for counsel fees and alimony,
and after hearing the Court on Oc-
tober 2, 1914, passed an order grant
ing the prayer of the petition. Mrs.
Teiser answered the bill of her hus-
band October Z, admitting she left her
home on June 80, 1914, but denied the
alleged abandonment and desertion,
and avering that she was forced TO
leave by his harsh and cruel treat
ment. On October IL Mrs. Teiser filed
cross-bill, alleging cruel treatment,
&C, and was willing to return to her
husband If he would desist from his
conduct. The evidence contained 149
pages OF typewriter testimony.
The opinion i'm part IL a. follows:
1So far as Mrs. Teiser's cross-bill il
concerned it il only necessary to say
that the conduct Of which she com
plains is not cruel treatment or ex-
cessively vicious conduct within the
meaning Of the law, nor was it such
as tended to humiliate or degrade her.
The evidence does show that her hus-
bands treatment of her was sadly
wanting in that manly and affection
ate regard and consideration which
every faithful wife has right to ex-
pect, and which is the real jewel in
her crown of happiness. Whether il
was due to his inability to fully ap-
preciate his obligation to her, his own
i'll health or his failure to compre-
hend the nervous condition Of her
health, l cannot refrain from the sug-
gestion that a happy continuation OF
their relation demands change In
his conduct toward her"
