COUNTY NEWS.County Tax Roto.

Wm. Meverell taker. Esq.. Clerkto tbo County Commissioners, in-forms ns tbst tbs oouoty tax ratethis yssr will be 99 cants, an in-crease of 5 can leaver last year. Onour sssossab’s basis, it takes about3 cts. to provide for each SIOOO of ex-pense. The School Law requiredan increased levy of $lOlO 46 forschools (3 cents) ; care of insane required an additional levy of SIOOO,(Bosnia); the March bbznrd addedS7OO for road excess, and the Alms-house expanses increased S3OO. (3cants); other increased expendi-

tures foot up something over SIOOO,(another 3 cents) But fur these un-foreseen and unavoidable increases,over which the Commissioners hadno control tba rata would have beenabout 86 cents.

An operetta. “A Day in Pluwer-dom” at Town Hall, Leonardtown,Wednesday, June 2. See notice.

There was a beautiful Mav oro-oesatuuatold Newtown Church, lastSunday. Full particu'ars in nextissue.

The 30th of May falling this yearon Sunday, the Governor bis designaled Monday, the 3|st as De-coration Day. It will be a legalholiday and the bank will be closedon that day.

Many county people attended thecelebration at St. Mary's City, des-pite the inclement weather. Mr.Graaon’s address of welcome wasappropriate and eloquent, and allwho beard It highly compliment it.

Walter Jenkins and Lean Combs,of King George county. Vs., crossedthe Potomac last Tuesday and weremarried in the parlor of Hotel Law-rence, Leonardtown, by Rev. W. R.B. Turner.

Last Tuesday a carrier pigeoncame to Mr. E. B. Abell's kitchen,Leonardtown, and was caught bythe cook, “Son” Williams, colored.On the right leg of the birtf was analumnioum band numbered 58476.On the left leg was an unnumberedbraes brand.

Since the pumping engine hasbean put in. the stables at Hotel St.Mary * have bean provided withfire boss and there is an abundantsupply of water for protectionagainst fire and other purposes.These stables are deeidly the finestand best equipped in SouthernMaryland.

Last Saturday evening about 7o’clock, at Drajdec, in the Seconddistrict, “Bunks” Gladden, colored,was shot by Constable C. O Adamswhile Gladden was pummellingAlonzo Knott. Gladden was full ofwhiskey and in a fighting humor.Ha armed himself at different- times,with a bottle and a hatchet andthough cautioned by Judge Coppageand Lae McKay to behave himselfcontinued hunting for trouble untilbe found it in the shape of a pistolbullet tn his back. Constable Adamsordered Gladden to behave himselfand was answered with vileepilbe'aThe shooting is thought to havebeen justifiable.

The Murder Mystery.Since our last week’s issue there

have been several new developmentsin the Forrest family murder mys-tery. On Saturday, the 22nd, in-stant, while getting some some cornfrom the corn-bouse to feed the poul-try, Dr. J. O. King discovered thatsome of the corn was spattered withblood and a more careful in vestigationdisclosed s piece of skull bone aboutthe sise of the palm of a hand lyingin a pool of clotted blood and cover-ed by a guano sack. The piece ofbone showed on one edge that ithadbeen cut by a sharp instrument andtbs other edge showed a break.

The scalp was torn from the bone,but in the blood and on a blood-stained corncob were strands of awoman’s hair. This is taken toprove conclusively that Mrs. For-rest was killed in the coru-bouseand her body taken up stairs.

No dime novels or other readingof that character has been found ofthe house thus disposing of thestory In the Baltimore papers thatJoseph Forrest was an omnivorous"yellow novel reader.”

Nearly all of the reported appear-ances of Joe Forrest in different sec-tions have been investigated andproved fakes or mistakes. The ac-count of young Forrest being seenon the Southern Maryland train andinquiring his way to Baltimore, isdemonstrated to have been a mis-take by the man who answered tothe description coming forward andstating that ha was the party whomads tbs inquiry of Captain Early.Tbs gentleman was Mr. JosephJenkins, formerly of Charles county, but now a resident of St. Mary'sand living on a farm purchased ofthe estate of the late Jas S. Posey.Other statements of the young man’sappearance In different sectionsshow, from inquires alleged to havebeen made/ a much more intimateknowledge of the country than Joecould have possibly possessed, hav-ing lived a practically hermit's lifein the Patuxent district of thiscounty.

Reference to the reward notice inthis issue indicates that anotherparty who baa been mistaken forJoe Forrest in Charles Smith, whois wanted by Mr. J. W. Guy.

We still adhere to our belief thatJoe Forrest Is dead and that bisbody is hidden somewhere in thethickets or windfalls that abound inthe neighborhood of the crime

Old St. Mary’s.—from the Smm.

Sunday lasi r m ail parti o' S.Mary’s chanty the people gatheredSt the p •* s 'oi *h first Hty°f Maryland j'lrt its first capitalLong driv did no‘ dew them, andthr*s wb< did not nd* or drive (Minein boits, lur it.e beaut.fu* rivers ofSt. Mary's are as omen, -f no* mare,used than the highways of the land.Fully 1,500 persons gathered, andin the pretty little hall attached toS. Mary's Seminary ipn'auled thef-prakers and • njiyed the thrillingmusic of the Naval Acvleinv Baud

In fact, the people of the countytook far mire Interest In the event? han did any but the most enthusias-tic members of the association, theattendance from Halt more beingdisappointing to the committeeToe enthusiasm of th county peo-ple, however, fully repaid the com-mittee for the trouble and the expense of the nl!gr mage

Mr. John P Duke, president ofthe St, Mary'sC iuntv School Board,was the only man present who at-tended the exercises of the first pil-grimage, held 50 years ago Mr.PV X Hale, director of the Catheralchoir, who took down a selectedchoir to sing the mus e of the Mass,performed tb** same duties on thepilgrimage of 23 yea>*s ago. and savshe intends to go uu the ucxi one 25years hence.

Mash On Tiik SteamerThe inclemency of the weather

disarranged the program somewhat,as well as interfered with the attend-ance from Baltimore. The eastwinds were cold and raw, and theclouds bung low and threa'eninglySaturday when the Northumberlandtook the first det ichment of the pil-grims. including the ladies. It wasstill more unpromising when themen sailed at night. And the morn-ing, when the two steamers landedtheir passengers at St. Mary’s City,was gray and cheerless.

It bad been planned to land atGrason’s, go thence to St. Inigo’sand there hold Mass in the open, asdid Fathers White and Allham andthe colonists nearly three centuriesago. This being impracticable itwas hoped to hold it in the quaintold church at St. Inigo's, but eventhis was out of the question, for theway was so wet and muddy that thewalk of three quartersofa mile fromthe wharf to the church would havebeen too trying, especially for theladies.

In the end the beautiful service ofthe Mass was celebrated on thesteamer. So solemn and impressivewas the service, so tender and ex-quisite the music that the vessel be-came for the time a real sanctuary.

Two M asses were said, the firstby Rev. P. X Brady, president oftayolo College, and the second byRev. Peter J O’Carroll. At theconclusions of these Rev. J. BrentMatthews, rector of St. Inigo'sChurch, made a brief address, inwhich he emphasized the world’sdebt to Calvert for the establish-ment in a new land of a place inwhich every man might worshipGod according to the promptings ofbis own conscience. He spoke instirring manner of what this meantthen and of what it means now.

At St. Maev’s City.

At St. Mary’sCity, Judge 13. Har-ris Camalier, who had driven fromLa Plata to attend the celebration,made a brief statement introducing .Mr. CbariesS. Grason.of St. Mary’s,who welcomed the pilgrims. Pres-ident Joseph H. Dunn, of the asso-ciation ; Mr. Hart, chairman of thehistorical and social committee, madeshort addresses, after which JudgeCharles W. Heuisler, of Baltimore,made the principal speech of the ‘day.

His theme was “The Eirly Mary-land Settlers” and he handled itwith masterly style. In a talk ofhalf an hour he epitomized that partof the early history of the Statewhich is bound up in the brief lifeof Maryland’s tirst capital, and an- jswered convincingly some of the ’arguments which have been madeto show that religious toleration wasnot a real tangible thing in the earlyhistory of Maryland and that it didnot spring from a broad minded pol-icy on the part of George Calvertand his son Cecilius

This concluded the exercises inthe ball, and the pilgrims and thepeople of the county spent the re-mainder of tbeeariy afternoon stroll-ing about the site of the old town,of which hardly a trace remains.Two hundred and seventy five yearsis a long time, and except for thebricks of which the EpiscopalChurch at St. Mary's City is built,and which came from the walls ofMaryland's first State House, noth-ing seems to have survived, except,perhaps, the markers of a fewgraves bolding the bones of some ofthe valiant band who came to a sav-age land, did their work like menand passed away.

Of the houses that lined Middlestreet and Mattapmv street not evena trace of the foundations remain,except possibly that of LeonardCalvert, and even the lines supposed to mark the site of thatstately mansion are indefinite.Where the streets and the houseswere are now fields, and the grassis green upon them. Nothing isleft of the old fort built as a de-fense against the Indians, of thestout jail, the market house, thewarehouses, the tavern of GarrettVan Swearingen, where the roy-sterers gathered and often disturbu-ted the peace and quiet of the citybuilt upon a snot of rare beauty,but which has passed away almostas completely-as if it had neverbeen.

fCoMMO.VICATKn.Dear Editor;- In c >mmaating on

the nominations fur the coming elec-tion this Fall, I notice you are in fav-or of the Crawford System as agai netthe Convention. Permit me tothank you for your open expressionon this subject. You have alwaysbeen one of the most conservative ofmen, and ever ready to soeak forthe welfare of the party, you sayyou "believe the people want theCrawford System."

That is right, and they intend tohave it clean and fair, or there willbo no Democrat ticket elected thisFall. I have talked with manydemocrats and every man says hewill not be bound by the ruling of afew in a convention. Last Tues-day a gentleman from the 2nd Dis-trict gave me his experience. Hesaid, be "went to Leonardtown as aDelegate and was to'd that he mustvote for Messrs A. B. A C., asagainst o'her men, he thought moreworthy," after some talk, he said tothe would be boss, to h withyour Convention I will never attendanother." Some years ago! 1 badssomewhat similar experience. Arecognized leader of the party askedme to "second a motion which bewould make with a spech," I toldhim that I could not, as we did notagree. Be remarked, "ifyou don’t,1 will make you regret it." My re-ply, perhaps, was more expressivethan polite, and I added, "I wantyou to understand, when we thinkalike we will act together, but whenI think proper to differ from you Iwill not allow you or any other manto dictate to me. ” The Conventionwound up with a break. I was notone of the bolters, but the leaderabove mentioned was. These twoinstances are cited to show bow anindividual few try to run Conven-tions ; then pose as party leadersand gather in the loaves and fishes,to which they are not entitled, andyet we are told that Mr. So and Sowas fairly nominated. Is it anywonder that the people refuse tosupport such candidates ?

1 know friend King, that I amlooked upon as an independent, andyet there are hundreds like me,many of whom are supposed neverto have scratched a ticket. So faras national and State politics areconcerned, I am a Democrat, but inlocal affairs I will vote for the bestmen particularly if conventions continue to prevail. Yours truly,

Giles P. Dver.
