The State Board of Health.
I)r. Chancellor, secretary of the
State board of health, bad a con
ference yesterday, with Dr J J. A.
Steuart, health commissioner, with
reference to calling a meeting of the
State board. There are three
vacancies in the board, which it is
desired that Obe Governor should fill
at once, one caused by the death of
Dr. J. Robert Ward, president; and
the other by the Senate failing to
confirm the appointment of Dr.
Steuart and Dr. Teackle. Dr.
Steuart has since become a member
of the board ex-officio, by virtue of his
being health commissioner. The
Governor has promised to make the
appointments at an early date,laud
will doubtless do so upon bis next
visit to Annapolis.
Onr Cemetery.
In view* of the fact that our City
Cemetery will now be closed to all
except lot owners, as a place of lHurial,
it behooves the proper authorities to
move t once in this direction and
provide some appropriate place of
burial for our dead. Let a meeting
be called, and the subject discussed,
and a plan laid down as a basis to
work upou.
In reference to this matter (which
was referred to a committee of the
City Council at a previous meeting,)
Counsellor llevell stated to the board
at their meeting ou Monday night,
that he had obtained a copy of an
Act passed by the Legislature, author
izing the Corporation to establish a
cemetery or cemeteries, either w ithin
or without the limits of the-city, but
8 they had seen the said Act for the
rst time that; evening, they were not
prepared to report on the matter, and
further time was granted thevcom
mittee in which to make their re-
and was to have exhibited last
night at Market Space, but the big
L tent was not up The monstrosities
i{ had to be. kept in a side tent till the
exhibition tent was raised. Mean
> while the Annapolis gamins gathered.
i They are very good boys (?) at least
strangers that come here and meet
&ith the Annapolis juvenile, go
P away and say that he is : the best boy
in badness they ever iriet. So the
boys gathered and whilst the three
horned cow lowed, the good boy pul
led up the tent cover to see the show
- without a nickel. The crack of the
showman’s whip, the bellowing of the
cow and gyrations of the boys con
tinued till ten o’clock, when all the ac
tors in the farce went to their lodges.
Governor’s Guards. .
• *
The Governor’s Guards, V com
manded’ by IstLt. Wells, and headed
by the Annapolis Cornet Band, made
their usual weekly parade last night.
Besides the head torch of the rbands
men, two floats with lighted torches,
borne by four boys, were on either
side of the band. The music was
fine, and altogether it was a ,most
creditable turnout. The Cornet Band
has now become a part of the organ
ization of the Governor’s Guards.
Personal.
Miss Quiuby of Rochester, X. Y.,
and Miss Robinson of the Eastern
Shore, are visiting the Misses Ran
dall, Md. Ave. -

her young friends.
Before the Magistrate.
Wm. Jones and Geo. Savage, were
arrested and carried before Justice
Wm. H. Gassaway this morning,
charged with violating the local op
tion law of this county, by selling

of S2OO security, they were commit
ted to Jail till 12 o’clock to-morrow,
when they will have a bearing.

The Lamboru Road Machine.
In our report yesterdiy of the ac
tion of the County Commissioners in
purchasing one of these machines for
each district in the county, there was
a mistake in the pric* 1 named. The
price of this machine is $l5O, but
where several are purchased by any
one county, a liberal discount is made.
It is said the Conutyt Commissioners
had offt-red $l3O, fol this machine,
but no definite terms had been argeed
upon between them a#d the agents,
Messrs. Clement an Porter ; hence
the mistake that tn machine bad
been purchased for /we price named

The A. and E. Railroad in Caurt.
The Court of Appeals heard argu- i
ment to-day in the case of Stewart
Brown and Arthur George Brown, I
trustees, vs. the State of Maryland
and the Annapolis and Elkridge
R. R. Co. The State owned $300,000
of stock in the road. In 1872, by j
chap. 425, the Legislature authorized ;
the mortgage of the road to secure
certain bonds that the same Act
granted the directors permission to
issue. Ou tof the issue of these bonds,
grew the famous Drum Point R. R.
transactions, by which the A. & E
was involved with the financial
dfficulties of the Drum Point Road.
The questions before the Court of
Appeals are mainly two: First,
what part of the bonds issued are
claims against the road ? Second, is
the State a preferred stock-bolder
before the bond-holders? The Com
pany takes the ground that the Act
of 1872, granted the issuance of the
bonds to build the road to tide-w’ater,
which was never done. However cor
rect this nay be, the Act was so word
ed that the directors were at liberty
to use the bouds for any purposes of
the road, and the State having sanc
tioned the mortgage, it is exceedingly
doubtful that it can maintain its
claim as a preferred stock-holder.
Attorney-General Roberts appears
for the State, Charles J. M. Gwinn
and John Ireland for the Company,
and S. T. Wallis and Brown <fe Brune
for the Appellants.
False Alarm.
Quite an excitement was caused in
the vicinity of the State House this
morning, about 10£ o’clock, by smoke
issuing from the door of the Steam
House situated under the House of
Delegates. It seems that a lump of
hot coal fell out of the furnace and
ignited some chips that ’were lying
near. Mr. Himmelheber, the engineer,
was not present at the time.
