the conditions are favorable, be can stir up

any other beast. For instance: One tied to a
board fence in an alley in Towson last Sunday

Belair Road Items.—Your correspondent
is credibly informed that all those wno won
premiums at the late Timonium fair were sent
checks for the awards on Saturday last, which
is much earlier than in former years. The
checks were usually sent out after the first Sat
urday in October. No doubt they all have
them by this time.
It has just come to light that two brothers,
residents of Perry Hall (and they are nospring
chickens, being each over 70 years of age) ab
stracted (not stole) from a wagon on the fair
grounds at Timoninm a basket containing
spring chicken, pie and other goodies, and
what they did to the goods was something aw
ful. After tbe meal they had to walk ana get
something to aid tbeir digestion. Upon their
return they found more chicken, but it hap
pened to be in their own wagon. No warrants
were issued, but they have to stand a good deal
of “joshing” from friends. They are willing
and able to pay for the goods, but have not
been successful in finding the owner, and as
one of them is a widower be hopes it is a lady.
A rising vote of thanks is due the United
Railways and Electric Company for changing
their switching of cars from under the steam
railroad bridge at Gay street to a place further
out the road where wagons can pass on both
sides of the cars. The com pany and the people
were fortunate in not having an acciden t where
it formerly was. This should havelbeen done
years ago.
Can any one tell ns the reason why our
truckers cannot raise pickles and lima beans as
successfully as in former years when they were
a great crop 7 Now they are never Half a crop.
They come up fine and make a luxurious
growth to about blossoming time, when they
shrivel and dry up, showing a few nubs. They
get the same fertilization and attention as in
former years and tbe land is tbe same.
Mr. Adam Lenhoff, one of the old pioneers of

Cockeysville, Bth District.—While there
is much complaint elsewhere as to a drouth,
yet with us the ground has considerable mois
ture, and springs have a good flow of water;
the pastures are doing well and vegetation,
especially garden truck and late corn, have de
veloped well. Tomatoes are perfect and plen
tiful where there was a disposition to grow
them, and yet they sell at 20 cts. per peck. At
this price it is better to raise them than to have
to buy. .
The ground has been in perfect condition for
seeding and many have finished, and the grain
ia up and looks fairly well. Those who have
not sowed may be hindered by rains.
Corn is being cut off, but we hear of no an
ticipated big yields per acre as last year—l 6 to
17 barrels per acre having been harvested then.
Large and good quality ears are expected. More
acres this season than last year were required
to fill the silos.
Mr. A. H. Nofsinger, of Corbett, having pur
chased the hotel interests here, he becomes one
of tbe long list of hotel-keepers. Mr. Joshua
F. Cockey's grandfather, Joshua F. Cockey,
was the builder and first proprietor of this
house and continued there for nine years until
his death in 1819. Tbe hotel having been built
in 1810, will have stood a century two years
from now. It is still one of the most substan
tial buildings in the village, being of stone with
slate roof. The late R. Noble Wilson kept
this house for twenty-seven years, which is
the longest time any keeper had it. Among
the many who have been in charge, not in
cluding the builder and the late keeper, were
John H. Longnecker, R. N. Wilson’s grand
father, Robert Wilson, Richard Cockey, Mr.
Horner, Anthony Shanebrook, Abram Jessop,
Heith S. Gill and John Bond, the latter being
the only surviving one. It is expected that
improvements will be made to the interior so
as to supply modern conveniences. Mrs. Wil
son expects to remove next month to Bal
timore.

great pet.

struck and killed two horses attached to Mr.
James M. Shepperd's butcher wagon. Mr.
Shepperd and one of bis children were sitting
in tne wagon which he had made an effort to
back off tbe track, when someone shouted that
the express was coming. It was fortunate
that he got the wagon off far enough to save
his and his little son’s life. The wagon was
loaded with blacksmith iron for Mr. Harry
Harris, who runs the Monkton shop, and it is
thought that tbe rattling of the iron prevented
Mr. Shepperd from hearing the bell ringing.
Monkton is a dangerous crossing and should
have either gates or a flagman.
The N. C. R. R. has become so impoverished
that it has had to take off about 20 different
trains in tbe last week, which necessitated a
change in schedule making tbe trains run at
different hours.

The Farmers’ Picnic a Big Success—
Good Weather and Large Attendance.—
The third annua! farmers’ picnic at Mt. Carmel,
Baltimore county, on Saturday last, was a
marked success, tbe weather man having c< n
tributed largely to this resalt. It was held un
der the auspices of the several farmers' clubs of
the county, with Mr. Upton H. Tarbert, chair
man, and Mr. J. Fred. Shamberger, secretary
of the committee. Nearly every section of the
county was represented and the politicians
w ere also ont in force. Mr. Robert Garrett, the
Republican nominee, and Hon. J. Fred. C.
Talbott, the Democratic nominee for Congress,
were busily engaged during the day looking
after their fences.
After the contents of the benntiful lunch
baskets had been disposed of Mr. Laban Sparks,
after a few words of welcome, introduced Presi
dent R. W. Silvester, of the Maryland Agricul
tural College, who compared the past and pres
ent conditions of the American farmer and
pointed out the benefit which the agriculturist
may derive from the agricultural college and
experiment station. He urged closer union of
the farmers in clubs and granges for the pur
pose of securing what legislation they desired,
and suggested the value of crop and market re
ports as aids to profitable selling.
After President Silvester came Mr. Henry F.
Baker, president of the Thomsen Chemical
Company and secretary of the executive com
mittee of the Association of Economic Ento
mologists. Mr. Baker talked of the work of
he association and told what had been done
oward securing a more general and intelligent
use of insecticides and fungicides. He also
asked support for the bill now before Congress,
which provides for the regulation of the sale
and manufacture of these poisons.
Mr. William M. Hays, Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, spoke at length on the subject
of "Rural Education.” He said that it is the
plan of the Department of Agriculture to es
tablish throughout tbe rural districts large cen
tral high schools to replace the small country
schools of the present day. The children, he
said, will be taken to and from school each day
in wagoDS. Each school is to be equipped with
agricultural and home economics departments,
thus educating the farmers’ sons and daughters
to, instead or away from, the farm. He said
that today there are 600 of these schools in the
United States and that their success was so pro
nounced it is only a matter of time before they
will become general.
Mr. B. H. Raw), assistant in the dairy de
partment of the Department of Agriculture,
spoke interestingly on the subject of dairy
farming. He showed the advantages of skilled
breeding and good feeding in relation to the
production of butter. He also warned against
the danger of tuberculosis infection by means
of milk, butter and other dairy products from
cows suffering with tbe disease.
Mr. H. J. Patterson, director of the Maryland
agricultural experiment station, pointed but in
what ways the station could be of service to the
farmer, and spoke on other topics of interest to
the tiller of the soil.
There was a good display of farm aDd garden
products and these were examined with much
interest by the throDg in attendance.

Cut In Train Service —Big; Saving I . —The
Pennsylvania Railroad announces that, begin
ning with last Monday, it has discontinued 16
local trains on the Northern Central. There
was no change in through trains. Every year
after the vacation ends the Pennsylvania with
draws about six trains from service, but the
change heretofore has been made in November.
By the reduction in the train service the
Pennsylvania will save approximately 1600 a
day, or $219,000 a year. Under the new sche
dule three trains from the north and three from
the south are taken off the Harrisburg line,
three north and south were discontinued on
the Green Spring Valley branch and two north
and two south were eliminated on the Spar
row’s Point line.
The new schedule is so arranged as to cause
the minimum amount of inconvenience. The
Pennsylvania Railroad is pursuing a similar
policy over its entire division, aud it is esti
mated that the saving on this one item will ex
ceed *1,500,000 a year. The company is re
trenching in every department and drastic
economies have been put into effect at some
points.
The Pennsylvania has withdrawn these
trains on the Harrisburg line: Nos. 112, 118
and 132, which left Cockeysville for Baltimore
at 10.35 A. m., 3.35 p. m. and 11.05 r. m., Nos. 105,
117 and 125, which left Baltimore for Cockeys
ville at 9 a. m., 2.30 p. m. and 9.30 p. m., respec
tively, and the Sunday train, No. 920, leaving
Parkton for Baltimore at 9.15 a. m., and No.
205, leaving Baltimore for Parkton at 4 p. m.
Bad Roada in tlie Suburbs. —"Good
Roads" writes as follows to the Baltimore
American: "Little work appears to have been
done so far as a result of the good roads loan.
1 understand that Baltimore comes iu for a
share. It ought to, inasmuch as the taxpayers
of the city bear three fourths of the expense.
The conditions, that now exist on tbe roads
leading to Baltimore is shameful. I can name
three roads—tbe Harford, Belair and Philadel
phia—that are in worse condition than some of
the roads in other parts of the State. In fact,
roads in other counties are superior to the
roads which I have mentioned. Farmers have
been complaining for years of the condition of
the roads leading from Baltimore to the pro
duce sections of Baltimore county, but nothing
bas been done to alleviate tbe trouble. There
are rote by the score, and in many places the
holes are never empty of water, which settles
in them after a rain. One can readily realize
wbat the farmers have to contend with when
they bring their wagons, loaded with produce,
to the city after once seeing the condition of the
roads. Many accidents have occurred as a re
sult of bad roads. It is hoped that some action
will be taken by the Good Roads Commission
to remedy this trouble.”
An Aged Minister Takes Another Bride.
—Rev. Thomas H. Wright, who was for sev
eral years a resident of Towson while he was
pastor of Baltimore Circuit, Methodist Protest
ant Church, and who is now pastor of acircuit
on tbe Eastern Shore of Maryland, was mar
ried in Baltimore on Monday to Mrs. A. D.
Price, who until recently was principal of the
public school at Btubensville, Kent Island.
The couple came to Baltimore in the morn
ing on the steamer and were married by Rev.
F T. Tagg. at bis office in the Methodist Pro
testant Book Store, North Charles street. Im
mediately after the wedding the couple left for
Fawn Grove, Pa., the former home of the
♦room. Thev will later go to Boston,
i Rev. Mr. Wright, who is 68 years of age, is
well known in Queen Anne’scounty. He has
i five grown daughters by his first wife. The
bride, who is 47 years of age. has also been mar
ried before. She has two grown daughters and
one son, Mr. Herbert Price, who graduated
i from Johns Hopkins University last spring.
i Grove Farm Guernsey’s at New York
i state Fair.—Mr. and Mrs. James McK. Merry
man’s cattle were the largest money winners
at Syracuse, competing with herds from New
York, Rhode Island and other states. Among
, the winnings was for best aged cow. Seventeen
i were shown in this class, including the cham
, pion cow at the International Dairy Show at
Chicago, their cow (“Clare of Poplar Grove 3d ’)
being the one chosen by the judge. They also
i won the breeders’ young herd, with calves
s raised on Grove Farm, from six other entries;
also produce of one cow and one yearling bull;
second with aged bull, nine entries; second
t with bull cal f, ten entries, and second w ith aged
. fi er d, etc. Baltimore county has reason to be
proud of this showing. When her herds can
1 go away from home to such great fairs as Syra
b Snse and win in such hot competition, it surely
is a victory that counts for something.

A Case of General Interest Disposed of.
—ln the Circuit Court hereon Tuesday thecase
of the Baltimore and Yorktown Turnpike
Company against Mr. John W. Smith, a well
known 10th district farmer, was tried before
Judges Burke and Duncan and a jury. It in
volved the right of the company to collect 5
cents toll at toll-gate No. 1, nearest Baltimore,
and 4 cents toll at toll-gate No. 2, at Towson,
for each one-horse vehicle and double that
amount for each two-horse team, and bo on in
the same proportion.
A number of persons using the turnpike
have been refusing to pay toll, claiming that as
thev turn off the turnpike at the north edge
of Towson and go out the Dulany’s Valley
turnpike they ought to pay a smaller amount
of toll at gate No. 2. Under the decision of the
Court of Appeals of Maryland in the case of the
Baltimore and Frederick Turnpike Company
against Routzahn, the Court ruled that no evi
dence was admissible to show how far the per
son paying toll bad traveled on the turnpike,
but that the company is allowed to collect at
one gate for the distance to the next gate, re
at ibe instance traveled. Under these
instructions the jury gave a verdict for the com
pany for the full sum claimed, which amounted
to only $4.88.
It is likely that all users of the turnpike will
now pay promptly the tolls which are in ar
rears, so as to avoid suits, as the company has
declared its intention to enter suit immediately
on all claims for tolls that are outstanding.
This question has been agitated for more
than a year and several attempts have been
made to cut down some of the toll-gates in the
county. The case was appealed from Justice
Joseph B. Herbert, before whom it was tried
several months ago, and who gave a verdict for
the amount claimed, and as there is no con
stitutional question involved the case cannot
be taken to the Court of Appeals and Tuesday’s
decision is final.
It was declared by counsel in the opening
statement that this was a test case, and no
doubt all users of the turnpike will accept it as
