Before The Magistrate.
The following cases were tried before
Justice Charles G. Feldmeyer, and de
posed of as follows:
Commuted to the House of Correction,
Julia Etta Wilson, for committing an
assault upon Daisy Harris, by cutting
her on the shoulder with a razor, and for
assaulting Tootsy Duckett, by cutting
her on the hand with the same instru
ment was committed to the Maryland
House of Correction for six months in
each case, one year in all.

irte Circuit
rtiundel Count) :
grand jurors of the State of Mary
land for Anne Aiundel County, at the
October term, 1901, most lespectiully re
port to your honors, that having com
pleted their labors, do now ask to be
discharged.
During their session 18 presentments
have been made and 65 true bids have
been found and 277 witnesses were ex
amined; investigated 95 cases and dis
missed 27. The reports of the commit
tees that visited the Alms House, House
of Correction, the Jail and public build
ings in Annapolis, aho the committee on
records in the Treasurer’s office, County
Commissioners and School board, are
herewith submitted.
The whole body ol the grand jury
visited the white and colored school
buddings and found both to be in an
excellent condition. Really for commod
iousness tor its purpose and ease of exit
in case of fire, we found the building for
the colored school much better adapted
than the white. The mam exit from the
annex school tor white children consists
of one large single door opening inward,
whereas it should have a wider exit with
double doors opening outward and a ves
tibule as in the case of the colored school.
We think there .should also be a back
stairway kading/to the exit in the main
building and wide means ot f
both ends with\loub\e doors op g
outward with vestibules also,
ored school buildi tg has a good tire ev
cape, with exit frojm f ach

building has no 6,*’£* cap f; beau
tiful )erfection ,# the children
which we vci over the accustomed
ways of eyjtems to obviate the neces
sity fire escapes, especially when
Dettjpr means of exit ate made.
In the examination of the multitude of
wifncsSts summoned to appear before us,
we find that a large proportion know ab
solutely nothing, and the result is noth
ing but an expense to the taxpayers, and
we would respectfully suggest that more
discretion be used in summoning only
those concerning whom there is some
reasonable probability 9! either knowing of
some violation ol me law, or being able
to give some knowledge of those who do
know. Now in one point in particular, we
may allude to the most deplorable condi
tion of affairs complained of and called
to the grand jury’s attention in the charge
by your honorable bench in strong lang
uage. to wit; the flagrant and defiant keep
ing open of gambling tables, faro banks
and pool selling boards in the town of
Brooklyn, and the open violation of the
Sunday law in that place and Curtis Bay,
complained of in eloquent appeals, anony
mous letters and letters with fictitious
signatures sent to the Court and to the
State's Attorney and the grand jury, not
one of which is any clue whatever fur
nished whereby the giand jury may act.
Respectable citizens of those communi
ties summoned before our body, and the
sworn officers of the law, it seems of re
sponsible characters, almost unanimously
testify to the orderly and quiet state ol
affairs there, except some cases of hilar
ity by clubs visiting the shores there and
returning to the city of Baltimore.—
Numerous witnesses are summoned, it
must be presumed, because they are seen
to go there on divers occasions, almost
unanimously testify to knowing of no
violations of the law whatever, but from
the few presentments made and other
sources we are bound to believe that
these places have active and energetic
police protection.
Again in the increasing number of
small cases which came before, not only
our present body, but the past grand
juries, from the lower or Eastport pre
cincts of the Second district, and the
lower precinct of the Third district, we
would respectfully suggest the recom
mendation of the passage of an act by
the Legislature to abolish the office of
magistrate in those piecincts, and transfer
all such cases to the jurisdiction of the
magistrates in the city of Annapolis,
which, we think, would remedy the evil.
It has been suggested to us to recom
mend the transfer of the water closets in
the Court house to the outside recesses of
the building. While this no doubt would
be desuabie from a cleanly and perhaps
saniiary point ol view, and mayhap for
less energy on the part of the employes,
in view of the over-large expenditure of
money needed for the purpose, we would
rather recommend that more attention be
given to the keeping of the present build
ing in a clean condition on the part of
the employes entrusted with that charge.
A loose obseiva -.ce of the law in re
gard to reporting cases of contagious
diseases on the part of physicians in the
city and county has been brought to the
attention of the grand jury, and we would
respectfully suggest that the Court take
notice of such in such manner as to re
quire tue stuci ob>ei vance of the law,
now on the Statute Books, in the future.
We would also call attention to another
lavr on the Statute Books, which is loose
ly observed, that is in regard to all kinds
of obstructions on the pbulic highway.
In the first place a continual menace
exists to the safety of the traveling public
and the proper working of the public
roads on the part of the telegraph and
telephone companies in planting their
poles within the limits of the road bounds
and the neglect to repair rotten and fall*
we
present law
ooth the individual
wc would recom-
tne Legislature abolish the
-viit and re-enact the old law.
The present condition of the South river
bridge is the cause of much reasonable
complaint from the residents in the lower
part of the county, and we would sug
gest to the Couhty Commissioners that
they see that something is done to ex
pedite matters in the way of repairs to
the bridge,and also tocxamine
the pile supporters of the bridge, which
ate said to be in a dangerous condition

Judge Revel!, in discharging the grand
jury, again spoke in very strong lang
uage ot the violation of the Sunday laws
and the gambling in Brooklyn and vicin
ity, and said that it was very deplorable
that the grand jury, with all its power,
and the Slate’s Attorney's diligence,were
unabie to apprehend and bring the o! ;
fenders up for punishment. He intima

City Council of their action—“that the
city had no authority or juiisdiction to
pass any orders for requiring this com-
PA|>\ to lav pipes in any of the streets of
the*Riiy," &c.
Counsellor Claude moved that the
‘communication be laid on the table, fol
lowing his motion with some very forcible
remarks. He said this communication
was an insult to this Board; that this
grasping corporation had the taxpayers
ot this city b> the thioat. and was squeez
ing the very life’s blood out of them;
that the poor man was taxed to death for
the water he drinks, and the only relief
tor the people would be to rise up en
masse and demand that the city shall
own its own water works.
Alderman Thompson, from the Thud
ward, who was the author ot the outer,
re-echoed the sentiments ot Counsellor
Claude, and said he thought that this

The application o
a liquor license wa.
VV. Owens addressed u.„
that there were several peti
ed to the Board, extensively
our best citizens, asking that ‘m 0
be not granted. The petitition presented
by the VV. C. T. U., was signed by over
three hundred citizens—fathers, mothers,
school teachers and trustees. The appli
cation was bitterly opposed by Counsellor
Claude in some strong and forcible re
marks. Also by the Mayor and Aider
man Thompson. The license was advo
cated by Alder nan Williams, who said
he was opposed to making fish of one
and flesh ot another. The vote then be
ing taken the application was rejected by
a vote of seven in the negative and one
in the affirmative—Alderman Williams.
The application of Lewis Stern for a
liquor license was then taken up and was
advocated by Mr. A. Theodore Brady,
Aldermen Williams, Marcy and T. A.
Thompson, and was opposed by Coun
sellor Claude, the Mayor and Mr. James
W. Owens. This application was also
rejected by a vote ot 4 to 3.
The Mayor called the Board’s atten
tion to the condition of the roof of the
Assembly Rooms and of the stoves and
furnace in the Council Chamber and the
Assembly Rooms. On motion oi Aider
man Henkel the matter was referred to
the Committee on Public Buildings,
The resignation of LouisGhase, janitor,
was accepted. The Board then went
into the election ot a janitor. Alderman
Henkel nominated William R. Taylor.
Alderman T A. Thompson nominated
Eli Samuels. After eight ballots had I
been taken, William R. Taylor having
received five votes, was declared elected,
and was immediately sworn in.
On motion of Counsellor Claude at
o’clock the Board adjourned.
