AND THE RESULT IS 4 SUIT FOR $20,000 DAMAGES. The case of Rose Meads against the Rich- mond and Danville railroad company was be fore Judge Montgomery in Circuit Court, Divi- sion 2, this morning, Messrs. Edmund Burke and J. H. Green for the complainant and Messrs, Linden Kent and R. G, Staples for the defendant. This is a suit for $20,000 damages by reason of injuries received by the com=- plainant on the 16th of June, 1887, on Union st in Alexandria, Va. It is alleged that the child was playing on a pile of cinders by the track, when a freight train in passing caused the cinders to slide, and that the girl was thrown #gainst the box of a car; that her leg was broken, her hip dislocated, and she was otherwise injured. lex. L. Robinson, fee On From Rockville. DAY—THE DOG TAX MONTGOMERY COUNTY. e, March 20, 1889, In the circuit court this morning, while the case of L. F. Deitrich & Co.. of Baltimore, against Benj. Hawkins was in progress, Wm. J. Williams, one of the jurors, was taken suddenly ill, and the further consideration of the same was postponed until to-morrow. The 10th of April having been designated by the governor as “Arbor Day,” by an order from the state board of education that day will be observed by the public schools of this county. The. program of exercises will consist of ad- dresses by the officers of the several schools, readiogs, recitations and singing by the pupils, and the planting of trees in the vicinity of the school houses. ‘The Sandy Spring Farmers’ club at their late meeting adopted a resolution asking the county commissioners to make provision for the en- forcement of a law granting them the power to levy a tax on all dogs in the county. and ap- pointed a committee to present th that body. The subject coming up b commissioners yesterday, it was such a tax wuuld at present be unacce; the people of the county and shoul imposed. Edgar Watkins, who has been confined in here for some time on charge of killing Trail, near Middlebrook, a few mouths ago, was yesterday evening removed to Ellicott City for trial’ in the cirevit court of Howard county. No day has yet been set for the trial, The meat-house of Mr. Hickerson Penn, at Redland, this county, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday, together With a large quantity of bacon, fish, and other articles, During this week quite a large number of county politicians have been here, and much speculation has been indulged in ‘respecting candidates for the legislature and minor offices. It appears now to be settled that Dr. Edward Wootton, member of the last house of dele- gates, will be a candidate for the nomination for state senator on the democratic ticket and Col. Wm. Kilgour for the house of delegates on the same ticket. Messrs. John E. Willson and ptable to not be jail Jobn H. Bagley are also candidates for com- missioner from the fourth collection district.

He did not re- member what occurred because be was under the influence of liquor. Judge Miller ques- tioned the officer at the theater as to why in toxicated persons were permitted to enter there. The officer said that it was against the rules, but the defendant managed to pass the doorkeeper and get inside the building. A fine of five dollars was imposed. —— “QureN Estuen.”—The cantata of “Queen Esther” was given last night y members of the pai. Sab bs association of Hamline M.

A serious shooting affray occurred at the Virginia end of the Chain bridge Sunday after- noon. Two negroes, ‘‘Ike” Williams and Ar- thur Brice, who live near the bridge, were out in the sunshine enjoying a game of “five up.” Williams claimed that he won the “pot,” and pocketed it. Brice disputed Williams’ claim, but the latter insisted that he was the winner, and kept the money. A quarrel ensued and Brice drew a revolver and fired one shot at Williams. The bullet entered Williams’ neck passed through the windpipe. The wounded man started to leave the place where the diffi- culty occurred and Brice fired five shots at him while he was running, but none of them took effect. After doing the shooting Brice escaped. Dr. Lugenbeel, of Langley, Va., was called to attend the injured man and he pronounced the wound a serious one, The police here were notified of the shooting and were furnished @ description of the would-be murderer. He was seen near the Georgetown market Tuesday evening, but managed to get away before the officers could catch him. —— Real Estate Matters. H. B.

From the New York Tribune, A bth-avenue picture-dealer, talking of the amusing mistake made by some of his custom- ersin their estimates of works of art, told a story about William Henry Hurlbert, formerly editor of the New York World, ‘Said he: “Mr. Hurlbert, as everybody knows, is a genuine virtuoso, His knowledge of utings aud close study of the schools render him no mean critic, but he was once deceived into a blunder that he has no doubt laughed over many times since. After the catalogue of his paintings was prepared for the sale at Leavitt's gailery, sev- eral years ago, he made a final tour of the room to see that everything was right. Paus- ing before a large landscape, he remarked en. thusiastically to a companion: ‘That is one of my gems. It is a Nasmyth, in his best style. As the catalogue says, Nasmyth was known as the ‘English Hobbema,’ a title shown to be war- ranted by this cxceilent Hobbema which hangs immediately above it. Observe the similarity of treatment—the aerial perspective, the distri- bution of the shadows in the foreground, the subdued warmth of coloring.” An art dealer, who had sold him the “Hobbema” long before, overheard the conversation, and disputed the accuracy of his memory. ' “Nonsense!” pro- tested Hurlbert, in bis iniperious way. “Hasn't it hung in my rooms for ten years, snd haven't I made a special study of it?” ‘Phe dealer said nothing, but calniy approached the picture, wetted his finger, wiped away the dust in corner and revealed two staring characters “J.

ADMIRAL PORTER ON THE REUNION OF NORTH AND SOUTH, The New York citizens’ committee to aid the confederate soldiers’ home at Austin, Tex., has received a letter from Admiral Porter, in which he : “The confederate veterans are, as of yore, our fellow-countrymen, and in regard to the hostile feeling between northern and south- ern soldiers the latter have longsince forgotten it. Out of the conflict sprang many good quali- ties which we might otherwise never have pos- sessed—humanity, sympathy and magnanimous feelings against those who warred against the Union. ‘The north is full of prosperity, and the south, under the new order of things, is rapidly following in her footsteps, The stars shone brightly for us all, and having secured the perpetuation of the Union it behooves ns of the north to aasist those who are now over- whelmed with adversity. This is the best way to make a united country. There should be no north, no south, but one nation, over which the Stars and Stripes should wave forever.” ee : At York, Pa,, five persons were arrested yes- terday charged with burning barns, % th Weaver, Mrs, Aurelia St M.

It was reported in London last night that the unionists had become so weary of the fierce onslaughts on them by the Gladstonians that they contemplated requesting the conservatives to allot them two benches on the tory side of the house, in order to escape what they term ; the “insults” of the liberals. Such a move would destroy the last trace of party distine- tion possessed by the unionists, and throw them bag and baggage into the ranks of the tories. ——-0e0 “GIVE US A REST.” A Needed Warning to Busy Professional or Business Men. Arecent article from the pen of an eminent medical authority calling attention to the | alarming increase of brain diseases has been widely copied by the press. The warning is needed. Every few days the public learns that some eminent financier or actor or au- thor or statesman is “losing his mind.” The insane docket has become a prominent fea- tare of the court records and of the daily press reports. Hardly a week passes that the murderous violence of some “crank” does not appal the public. If this is true of the present generation more may be expected of coming generations. The Americans, partly from cli- matic influences and partly from their habits of life, are conceded to be an extremely nervous people, To the sturdy, phlegmatic Britisher, with his regular quaffing of ale and porter, his Yankee cousins enforced abstinence from even tea and coffce is productive of amazement and ridicule, The natural nervous susceptibility of American fathers is increased by a prolonged, unceasing, all-absorbing devotion to business, vhich is unparalleled in other nations. The e American mother adds to maternal sa combined amount of household manual duties, intellectual endeavor, society cares, and religious or philanthropic work found in the women of no other nation. Such are the parents of the children of this country. | _ As for the children themselves, but slight at- physiological law that the mental powers are sldwer by five ears in their development than the physical, ‘At four years of age children must be in the kindergarten; at seven in the grammar school; | at fourteen in the school or at work earn- | ing their living: ‘Take the record of an average | fifte ar-old girl ina well-to-do family in y city.

Perhaps it may be urged that matinees at the drama or opera—however injurions to children in some respects—are a relief from mental strain. This is a delusion. It is at harrowing or emotional plays that the greatest crowd of children’s faces are seen, Nor is the majority of the literrture which they find limited time for perusing any less stimulating, as intelligent, mature readers know beyond disprte. in view of all these facts concerning the con- stant mental and emotional stimulation of : | grown people as well as children, it is not at all surprising that nervous and mental disease | is on the increase. and that medical men and students of mental phenomena are calling upon us to halt, and to remember that to take no daily rest nor respite, but to push unceasingly on, expecting to take our vacation “ina lump,” is as idiotic a proceeding as for a man to at- tempt to defer regular slumber till he can make his sleeping arrears all up at once. eae The Norwich Bulletin publishes a poem on the “short poem” fad that isnow raging. ‘The poem is as follows: What Ro “Is the cashier in?” Caller at the bank.
