ST. Mary's (Md.) Enterprise

81. Marys Nd enterprise.
Miss Maria E. Holmes, of our
town, sold on Tuesday last tract
of land heart of the original tract of
land known as Mills Point, on the
Wilcomico river, which has been in
the Mills family since the earliest
settlement in Maryland. Some gen.
erations back, it is said, some of the
male possessors of this original tract
killed an Indian woman's son,
whereupon she prayed heaven to de-
ny the possessors and their descen-
dants the happiness of male heir
for many generations. Whether
there is any truth in this statement
or not, it is very certain that this
property has always been owned by,
and transmitted through the female
branch, and that no male issue has
ever lived to attain the age OF 81 I'M
til the present generation, and of the
present it is true that of nineteen
children, six of whom were boys,
but one lived to attain the age of 81.

Judge Oseit, Of the supreme court
OF Ohio, tells this story, which is
now printed frr the first time: In
rural towllslip a dignifed but ami
able old gentleman, who was the
oracle Of the place and the recipient
of the most profound respect from
his neigiibors, was, as at evidence or
regard rather than because OF any
special fitness OF the Office, elected
Justice of the peace. Early in his
term Of office rufiian.y fellow was
brought before him on il charge of
aggravated assault and battery.
The spectators in Court were mainly
idle louugers and associates Of the
prisoner.
When the hearing be- gan the pris-
oner's attorney arose and said:
"Your honor, l move that the de-
PENDANT be discharged"
"By George second that mo-
tion," said the prisoner, quickly.
The justice was puzzled. He
scratched his bald head and rumina-
ted for moment. In his career he
had OBLIGATED frequently as chairman
of town meetings, and his know
ledge of parliamentary practice to
the extent demanded by that posi-
tion was much sounder than his
knowledge of legal procedure. The
proceeding seemed little irregular,
but the justice could see no way out
OF his dilemma.
"Gentlemen," he said, ''you have
heard the motion. All those favor
ing it shall so signify by saying aye"
"Aye ~ came tremendous chorus.
"Those opposed, no." continued
the dazed justice.
Only the astounded prosecuting
attorney voted no.
1.-THE ayes seem to have it,' an
nounced the justice. 1.-THE ayes
have it, and the prisoner is discharg-

A Stirring Triumph.
The New Yo K World,

LONDON, ENGLAND, Special by
Cable).-In the suit of The Chas.
A. vogeler Co.." of Baltimore, Md,
u. S. A., against Parrot u Co., of
this city, the Court of Appeals has
granted the plaintiffs q perpetual
injunction with costs The action,
which grew out Of an alleged in
fringement of plaintiffs well-known
trade mark, st. Jacobs Oil, was orig
inally heard in the High Court of
Justice, where Vice-Chancellor Ba-
con, without going into the merits
of the case, considered it was one
that should go before the Comptrol-
Ter of Trade Marks. From this
opinion, The Charles A. Vogeler Co.
appealed, claiming that they were
being injured by the goods of the de-
PENDANTS, entitled st. Davids Oil be
ing mistaken for theirs, and that
while they had undertaken steps to
briug case before the Comptroller

OF Trade Marks, months would elapse
before decision could be bad, and
as their business would be seriously
injured 10y such delay, restraining
order should be- granted at once. The
result OF the appeal was that per-
petnal injunction was made with
costs. The proceedings before the
Comptroller have been abandoned by
the defendants, and the Baltimore
house has achieved double victory.
BY the order of the Court Of Appeals,
Pdrrott d Co.. and their agents, are
perpetually restrained from using
the term "St. Davids OIL" as well
AS the words, The Great German
Remedy" or any words or marks
similar To those used by the Charles
A. Vngeler Co. in connection with
their st. Jacobs Oil. The progress
OF this suit has been watched with
interest by the mercantile aud man
ufacturing community Of Great
Britain, where thousands Of trade
marks OF incalculable value are own
ed. 1t was shown by the evidence
that plaintiffs had sold during the
past three years over 1000. 900 bot
ties of st. Jacobs Oil, and expended
as high as $500, 900 in single year
for advertising throughout the
world. Their success in this suit is
regarded with great satisfaction in
business circles. Eminent English
and American legal talent figured in
the case. The counsel for The Chas.
