In the House Delegate H. W. Dawson has introduced a series of petitions forwarded by B. John Black Martin, Maryland State Grange, and approved by that body.

Talbot Boy On Torpedoed Transport. Among the engineers on board the ill-fated transport "Tuscania," torpedoed off the Irish coast this week by a German pirate, was Thomas Earle Cooper, son of Ex-County Commissioner Thos. F. Cooper, of Bozman. The young man was attached to the Company E. Sixth Battalion, Twentieth Engineers Forestry, and at the hour of going to press had not been reported as among those saved. Lieutenant Cooper was a graduate engineer, and for some years had been in the chemistry department at Sparrow's Point, and recently resigned to enter service in the forestry work in France. He was a type of young man that is most admired and the hundreds of Talbot friends of himself and parents ardently hope that his name will appear among those rescued. Charles S. Henry Dead. Charles Steele Henry, aged 62 years, died in Baltimore early Friday morning. His remains will be brought to Easton today and funeral services will be held from Christ Church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Relatives and friends are requested to attend without further notice. Mr. Henry was the son of Dr. and Mrs. James Winfield Henry, of Dorchester county. He was a brother of the late John C. Henry and was engaged with him in the drug business in Easton some years ago.

Capt. Christopher Columbus Butler, for many years a light- house keeper in Chesapeake waters, died on Wednesday in Baltimore at the home of his son, Walter Butler. He was a Talbot countian and a native of St. Michaels, having resided there at one time.

Fred Sparklin, 12 years old, son of Mrs. Samuel T. Harris, of Easton, was kicked in the face by a young colt on the farm of Jackson Williams, in Landing Neck, on Tuesday. The boy was brought to Easton Tuesday evening by William M. Elliott, and taken to Dr. Dunning's office. Dr. Dunning called in Dr. Councell, and the two made an examination. They found that there was a compound comminuted fracture of the lower jaw. The fracture was reduced and the laceration was stiched, and the injured boy is now doing well. It was necessary to remove several pieces of bone from his jaw. Drs. Dunning and Councell pronounced it about the worst case of the kind they ever saw. The lad says that he was kicked at noon: and Mr. Williams washed his face and took him to Dr. Johns, who could do nothing for the him, and when he returned to the farm Mr. Williams made him plant corn all the afternoon.
