The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1884-11-15


Mr.. J. Talbot Kelley, son of Mr.. Elisha
F. Kelley, of this county, will be married at Ash
land Presbyterian Church, on Thursday evening,
Nov. 20, at Al o'clock, to Miss May Colgate Parks,
daughter of ex-County Treasurer, Mr.. William
Parks.
Mr.. Stewart Latrobe, of Baltimore, brother
of Mayor Latrobe, has leased for term of years
the property of Mr.. George B. Milligan, Rogers
lane, short distance south of Towsontown. 1t
contains about 40 acres and has fine stone man.
sion upon it. For two or three summers Mr.. VIM.
r. Hodges, the well. known Baltimore merchant,
has occupied this property.
On Thursday last, as Justice T. d. Mitch
ell was driving through Phoenix, some little boys
ran behind his carriage and caught hold of it.
One of them, son Of Mr.. II. c. Wilson, living
near the village, got his foot caught in one of the
wheels and had it badly injured. Mr.. Mitchell
took the injured youth to his home.
The present management eff the Maryland
Central road appears to be giving entire satisfac
ton. Mr.. Wrenschall, the receiver and general
manager, is very conservative and will manage
the affairs of the company in the interest of all
concerned. There can be no question but that
the road will in time be able to meet its floating
debt and pay the interest on its bonds.
Miss Janette P. Wilson, youngest daughter
of Mr. Y. O. Wilson of Lutherville, died at Aiken,
S. c., on the 9Th inst, of consumption. She had
been spending some time in the South for the
benefit of her health and was on her way home
when she was taken suddenly worse and died.
Her funeral took place on Monday and the re-
mains we're inferred in Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Mr.. Nelson Cooper this week made SUBJ
stantial gravel walk on the north side of Penn
sylvania avenue, in front of the properties of Mr.
r. Edwin Hook and others. He also removed
number of the large maple trees for Mr.. Hook.
There has been too much shade on this avenue
and it is good move to take out some ofthe trees
Other property owners should follow the example.
Mr.. Samuel W. Merryman, Jr., of Peoria,
Illinois, called to see us a few days ago. He is a
son of Mr. Samuel w. Merryman, who at one time
conducted store at Cockeysville, and who after
wards engaged in farming near Sunnybrook, 10th
district, and from thence removed to the Vest
Mr.. Merryman came on to visit relatives, among
them his sister, Mrs. Hunt, who resides near
Monkton.
Application has been made to the County
Commissioners to open and condemn county road
in the LIST district from point on the Frederick
turnpike at its intersection with Athol avenue, to
the old Frederick road, passing through the lands
of Messrs. Chas. +. Baker, B. l.. Baker, James A.
Wilson and others, the length of said road being
about 800 feet. The examiners will meet upon
the premises on Thursday, goth inst.
Our Democratic friends, assuming, of course,
that Cleveland has been elected, have already COM
menced picking out places for themselves and
naming men who will be likely to get the most
prominent positions under the Government. The
Baltimore American of Sunday last said that
among those most prominently named for U. >.
Marshal for Maryland is Capt. Thos I'll. Moore of
Baltimore county. Doubtless this was news to
the Captain.
At the last meeting of the City Water Board
q communication was received from Mr.. Jos. W.
Jenkins, whose fine country seat is situated on
Lake avenue, 9th district, asking the Board to
unite in petition to the Commissioners of Balti-
more county to condemn and widen the road lead
ing from Lake avenue to Lake Roland. The Sec
rotary was authorized to inform Mr.. Jenkins that
the Board concurs in the application If the road
be opened without cost to the city.
The colored man George Young, who cut
John Getman, at the polls at Walters tavern, 18th
district, has thus far eluded arrest, although the
officers have been hunting for him. We are in
formed that this fellow Young treated Mr. Henry
Volz, highly respected German citizen of that
precinct, in o most shameful manner, abusing,
threatening him, &C., simply because Mr.. Volz,
who was U. S. Supervisor, requested him not to
obstructth the window where the voting was going on.
The School Board met on Tuesday and
adopted new schedule of salaries for the teachers
of the public schools of the county, which will 60
into effect to-day. Under the new arrangement
teachers who are now getting $1,000 will be cut
down to about $500, and those getting smaller
salaries will have them somewhat increased. We
regard this as very unjust arrangement-not
that the smaller salaried teachers should get an
increase but that the salaries of the others should
have been decreased. We fear that this will have
a very bad effect upon the schools and that if a
scarcity of funds prompted the Board to this ac
ton it made grave mistake. In our opinion it
would have been far better to have closed the
schools for term.
Well, They Painted it Red.-Thursday
night was the time fixed by the TowsontOwn
Democracy to celebrate the supposed election of

truthfully said that they painted the town crimson
hue. All day Thursday preparations for the il
Elimination were going on and at about o'clock,
when the many hundreds of Chinese lanterns,
refectors, candles and lamps were lighted the
town presented very beautiful appearance and

ever held in this place. stroll about the streets
showed that the illumination was by no means
general, and for obvious reasons, but there were
enough brilliantly lighted houses to show that the
Democratic portion of the population We'd with
each other to make this celebration-which some
of US will persist in thinking little too "prevous"
one of the finest affairs of the kind ever seen in
the town.
Among the most handsomely illuminated resi-
dences were those of DIR. Piper, who, as usual,
displayed excellent taste in the variety and dis
trbution of his lanterns, &C.; Judge Fowler, Mr..
VIM. M. Rsteau, Col. D. G. Mcintosh Major

Emory, Columbus Sheridan, Marley Bros, Will

The torch-light procession composed of
several hundred men, most of whom carried torch

ed about o'clock, headed by Charles band, and
after marching through the most prominent streets
it headed for the Court House where the vocal
fireworks were set off by Hon. VIM. Pinkney
White, Gen. Bradley T. johnson, Mr.. Thos. C.
Weeks and others, and 1t is doubtful whether a
more enthusiastic crowd ever assembled in our
temple of justice. As the line moved through
the streets fireworks of various kinds were set
off and the scene was altogether very inspiriting,
even to people who are supposed to feel-please
mark this language-as badly as we do just now.
Well, we're glad its over. Our Democratic
friends have had their little fun and we have once
more settled down to peace and quiet. Now let's
wait until the official count in New York has been
finished so that we may know who has been elect
ed President-Blaine or Cleveland.
Rosedale, 18th District.-The men employ
ed on section T. of the B. & o. extension, while
on their way to work Monday morning last, they
found the dead body of Thos. English lying at
the foot of an embankment. 1t is supposed that
he fell into the cut while intoxicated and died
from exposure. An inquest was held and a ver-
dict rendered in accordance with the facts as stated
