Injured on Railroad.

Dragged by a freight train for near
ly a quarter of mile, Lewis Ford, OF
Frederick, was badly bruised and cut
about the feet last evening. He fell
from the train at Point of Rocks. A
companion, who was with Ford, made
successful leap for the freight.
Fords feet dangled from the train
and were dragged over the crossties
from Washington Junction to Point

himself to safety and was afraid to
drop from the train. He was finally
Jared from the train.
The injured man was taken to the
store of Wright & Co., Point of Rocks
where first aid was rendered.
Shortly before II o'clock Ford was
brought to Frederick and taken to the

1t was reported from Point of Rocks
and Washington Junction last night
that Ford and his companion missed
the regular passenger train to Bruins
wick and decided to freight it." The

ed to jump aboard.

STATE CROPS INCREASE
Greatest Growth Was That OF Ap.
nleS: Grain Also Gained.


Baltimore, Nov. 11.-Maryland is
credited with producing 13,158,00O
bushels of first-class Southern wheat
as compared with only $4,000 BUSH
els in 1913, which means that with
wheat prices up to $1.14 per bushel,
as compared with less than 80 cents
last year, Maryland has almost dou-
bled her output.
These figures became available this
morning, being released by the United
matter of fact, members of the Bal
timore Chamber of Commerce stated
today that in their opinion this Gov
eminent estimate was too small and
that the Maryland wheat crop would
finally show to have exceeded the in
crease figured on by the Government
experts.
In corn, which is showing a steady
tendency toward higher prices, Mary
land is credited by the National Gov
eminent with producing this season
nearly 100000 bushels more than
was grown in 1913. AS regards rye,
this State is given an increase of g.
100000 bushels this season as COM
pared with the last crop.
The State, however, has drawn its
most remarkable increase of produc-
ton in its apple crop, which has
leaped from 100000 to 3,47O,OOO
bushels. This figures out close to a
300 per cent. increase, and that is
extraordinary, and means that the
newer methods of apple growing and
the scientific treatment of Maryland
orchards have combined with a favor
able season to simply overload the
apple trees in this State Nearly g.
100000 bushels of frst-class apples
means that the very poorest Baltimor-
cans can enjoy this succulent and
healthful fruit without stint

Georgianna E. Clifford VS.. Edward w. Gift
ford.
The object of this suit is to procure a
decree for divorce a vinculo matrimonii
for the said GeOrgianna E. Clifford from
the said Edward W. Clifford The Bill in
substance states that the said Georgianna
Clifford was married to the said Edward
W. Clifford at Orange County, Virginia. on
November 4th, 1879, by the Rev. j. P.
Strider Presbyterian Minister of the Cos
pei and they lived together thereafter fora
period of twenty years in Cecil County,
Maryland, and thereafter for period of
about five years at Chester County, Penn
sylvania, and thereafter for short period
at Yorklynn, Delaware That although
the conduct of the said Georgianna Clifford
toward the said Edward w. Clifford was
kind, affectionate and above reproach, he,
without just cause, and for no reason, ill
treated and neglected her, and deliberately
insulted and abused her and neglected to
provide her with the comforts and necessi-
ties of life with the studied and deliberate
design of producing abandonment, and
that he frequently stated he would no long
er live with her and would obtain d.
NOICc liOHt llOAs 1AdNu otlQ Ia
Clifford was finally compelled to leave the
said Edward w. Clifford because of the
treatment aforesaid, on the 14th day of
February, 1905, and support herself, and
he has failed and refused to support her;
that such abandonment of the said Georgi-
anna E. Clifford by the said Edward w.
Clifford is deliberate and final and said
abandonment and the separation of the
parties has been continued uninterruptedly
for more than three years, and said separa-
ton is beyond any reasonable expectation
of reconciliation. The Bill further states
that the said GeOrgianna E. Clifford is a
resident of Frederick County, Maryland,
and that the said Edward w. Clifford is a
resident of the State of Pennsylvania, but
his residence therein is unknown to the
Plaintiff And the Bill further states that
no children have been born of said mar
riage. And the Plaintiff prays that she
may be divorced a vinculo matrimonii
from the said Edward w. Clifford and for
such other relief as her case may require.

1914, ordered by the Circuit Court for
Frederick County, sitting in Equity, that

Hoof and Mouth Epeidenie.

Extension of the live stock q'laran
markets are facing a serious problem
in the movement to stamp out the
hoof- disease. Yes arday
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board
instructed Veterinary Surgeon r ".
Smith to issue no permits for move
ment of cattle either on highways or
railways in Frederick county. This
order was issued to eliminate any pos
sible danger of carrying the disease.
The first suspected case of foot and
mouth disease in humans was dis
covered in Bowen School, Akron, Ohio
yesterday. A ten-year-old girl, said
to be suffering with all symptc rs of
the malady, was placed in INN. }diate
quarantine. The Bowen School has
1000 pupils.
Quarantine Extended.
Extensio nof the live stock GGaran-
tine for foot-andmouth diseaaa to
Kentucky, making IA States under
quarantine, was planned yesterday by
the Department of Agriculture, follow
ing the discovery of three diseased
cattle in a herd of eight in Bullitt
county, Kentucky.
Canada has notified this government
that because of the foot-and mouth
epidemic, importations of American
live stock into Canada will be pro-
hibited until the danger subsidies.
Quarantine against Canadian live
stock, ordered yesterday, now pre-
vents all movement of stock between
the two countries.
1t has been learned that a dealer
near Emmitsburg, Frederick county,
brought from Chicago during October
500 steers for fattening. Most of these
went into Pennsylvania.
The situation is causing great anx-
iety among farmers, even in the coun-
tries not under State quarantine. The
Office of the Sanitary Board is kept
open late at night. Secretary c. W.
Melville says he Is called out cf bed
at nights and early in the morning to
respond to telephone calls.
All movements of hay has been
prohibited from six quarantine coun-
ties-Allegany, Washington, Freder-
lex, Carroll, Howard and Montgomery.
Hay may be shipped from other coun-
ties All stock cars of railroad COM
panies are being thoroughly fumigat-
ed.

sPrice of Meat Not to Advance.

Butchers and meat dealers in Fred
erick county will not be affected by
the quarantine imposed on the trans
.portation of cattle because OF the
foot-and-mouth disease. 1t was an
nounced last evening by DR.. R. Y
Smith, of Frederick, that cattle for
eat purposes could be moved over
the highways of the county to the city
fer slaughter, after they are inspect
! ed
The disease has not affected the
price of meat in Frederick. A dealer
declared last evening that the market
would remain the same and there
would hardly be any iuctuation in
prices. Veal may take slump. One
dealer said that farmers are unable
TO ship calves from the county to the
cities and butchers can now buy at Z
reduced price. This dealer declared
that he saw no reason why the price
should not drop.
MiddIetOwn Valley Free OF Disease.
Last night it was announced from
Middletown that there is no foot-and-
mouth disease in Middletown Valley.
Yesterday Secretary Melville, of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board ac-
companied by DR.. r. V. Smith, and
Dr. Frank C. Ryan, of Middletown.
went to the farm of Elroy Leatherman
near Ellerton, and made an examina-
ton of herd of cattle. No disease
was found there. 1t was reported that
yesterday this herd of cattle had de-
veloped the disease and would like
" be killed. DR.. Smith said last
night: There is no disease on that
farm"
The quarantine in Frederick coun-
ty does not affect the sale of cattle at
public auction or privately. But 1t
does prohibit the movement of the
cattle from farm to farm by the pur
chaser. Cattle can be moved over the
county roads only after permits have
been granted. DR.. Smith said that
he had received instructions not to
grant permits.
Dispatches from York show that
the disease in that section of Pennsyl-
vania has developed in its worst form.
One farmer coming from place on
which herd had been condemned
was refused shave in a barbershop
in Hanover
In Howard county the disease has
developed on a farm near Columbia
This was found to be the case yester-
day when DR.. Lawrence Hickman went
out to make an inspection. There are
Is head of cattle in the infected herd
and all will be killed at once.
~ eterday there was received dt
i've Stock Boards office report
second outbreak in Howard coun-
but the investigation has not
,een completed From Montgomery
county came report through the Ag-
ricultural Department inspectors
that there is an infected herd on the
farm of James H. Jones, near Boyd2
