SOMERSET FARMERS FIND
RAISING NUTS PAYS

When Somerset farmers use the ex-
preston "nuts" there's no sarcasm
intended.
On the contrary, nuts in Somerset
county this winter are proving val
unable asset. Farmers fortunate
enough to have black walnut trees on
their farms have been advised they
should avail themselves of bumper
crop and the present good prices by
disposing of the crop at once.
w. w. Simonds, acting forester of
the University of Maryland extension
service, has estimated this years
crop will exceed $4,000 bushels, at
prices ranging from 80 to 60 cents a
pound wholesale.
Farmers point out the Baltimore
market annually requires about 25,-
600 pounds of walnut overwhelmingly
five per cent of which is imported
from other states. This means, they
reason, that Maryland farmers can,
but do not now, supply about 10000
bushels of the total.

INSTANTLY BY TRAIN

Cecil Bloxom, 35, of near Mappsville
was instantly killed Monday of last
week at LAO o'clock by a northbound
Pennsylvania Railroad train at Mears
Station, in Accomack county. His
body was badly crushed and partially
dismembered.
Bloxom and three companions were
sitting on the station platform and
when the train came into sight one of
the quartette remarked that they had
better be getting away from there.
The other three men left and thought
Bloxom was following them, not not
icing his absence until after the train
had passed and stopped. AS the train
backed up they went back to the scene
and Bloxom's body was found between
the rails.
The engineer is reported to have
stated that when he first saw the man
Bloxom was on the ground between
the tracks and the platform, but that
he crawled in front of the train.
Bloxom was subject to fainting spells
and it is thought that he fell and be-

culosis, all form of pneumonia; the
venereal diseases, diarrhea and dys-
entery, malaria, septic sore throat and
other contagious or infectious diseases.

from ailments of this sort, reported
in 1884. The remainder was divided
among other catching" diseases.

MEASLES CAUSE
MARKED INCREASE
IN 1884 ILLNESS

The measles epidemic Of the first
half of 1884 was responsible for a
marked increase in the total cases Of
sickness from communicable diseases
reported in Maryland, last year, in
comparison with the totals reported in
1888 and 1882. The records of the
State Department of Health show that
6O,552 cases of sickness from the COM
municable-that is, the catching" di-
seases-were reported in the State in
1884 as compared to 39,781 in 1888

cases reported in 1884, S6,6O7 occur
red in Baltimore City and 23,945 in
the counties.
The diseases included under this
heading are those which spread from
person to person, or which are con-
tracted in handling or eating contami-
mated foods, through contaminated
water supplies, through the bites of
insects or animals, or through direct
contact with infected material. Ply

DOVER POLICE BREAK
UP AUTOMOBILE THEFTS

With several murders to investi-
gate in the past week or two, more
than they have had since their Or
ganization, in so short time, the
State Police at Station No. 3, at Do
yer, in charge of Sergeant Samuel
Powell, have had busy holiday sea-
son and yet during it all they have
been able to break up the stealing of
automobiles in Dover and in other
parts of Kent county and finally bring
to justice the gang of eight boys who
have been responsible. Owners of au-
tomobiles who have been uneasy for
the past two or three months are now
breathing freely. For some time cars
have been stolen in all sections of the
county and particularly around the
weekly sales bazaars that are held in
Dover as many as two or three disap-
pearing in one day. Most Of the cars
were afterward found, some abandoned
while others had been wrecked. Stor-
les were heard of wild races on back
roads in the moonlight and finally the
roads in the moonlight and
finally the State Police were notified.
Working with the City Police of Dow
operation with the City Police of Dow
er, Private D. F. Sullivan took but a
short time to round up eight negro
boys ranging in age from IL to II
years, who all confessed in having
participated in the stealing and also
in the thrilling rides that followed
each theft. There was no evidence
of any effort to make any money from
the thefts but the larceny seemed to
be inspired solely of the desire to ride
and to ride fast.
