Damage Suits-rhe first OF the three
Ohio railroad removed from this county,
was begun on Monday morning last in the
Washington county Circuit Court. 1t was
that of Geo. L. Noyes and for $4,000 dam
ages. The plaintiff claimed that he pur-
chased a ticket at Gaithersburg for Wash
ington, the ticket agent made mistake and
gave him Il ticket for Rockville. The plain
tiff was put off the train 1T Halpns, and
the jury in the Ease rendered a verdict for
him for 800.
On Tuesday, the second suit, that of Jas
II. Lawson, next friend, &c, was taken up.
The suit is for $4,000 damages for the death
Of VIM. Gloyd, alleged TO have been caused
by the ejectment Of deceased from passen
ger train on the Metropolitan Branch in
1881 The plaintiffs claim that deceased
was put off train while il was running at
the rate Of twelve miles an hour, that he
was stunned in the fall, and that he was
horribly mangled by a following train. The
defense claim that deceased came TO his death
through his own negligence, and that the
railroad company were in no wise party
10 the unfortunate occurrence
This case was gwen 10 the jury at 4:30
o'clock on Wednesday, and up TO our latest
advices they had failed IN agree.
The suit Of Mr.. Edward Garrett, and the
third one, was postponed on account Of the
absence of the conductor by sickness

The Locusts are Coming Prof. c.

The LOcusts are Coming Prof G. v.
Riley, the entomologist of the Agricultural
Department, says that the country will soon
be visited by two great broods of locusts,
the seventeen and thirteen year varieties,
and that this will be the first time in two
hundred and twenty-one years that they
have appeared in conjunction. They will
not prove greatly destructive, and the injury
they will inflict will probably be confined
to fruit trees The visitation will be pro-
longed until late in July. A great many of
these visitants have been seen by our farm
ers and gardeners as the ground is turned,
and near the surface.

Fires in The County,-A fire occurred

Fires in the County.-A fire occurred
at Brookeville on Friday night last, des-
troying the stable and carriage house OF J.
p. Howard. Three horses persisted in the
flames. The loss is estimated at 81, 200.--
The buildings were insured.
Quite large fire occurred in timber lot
on the England property, adjacent to the
east end of this town, on Friday last, which
at one time led TO quite an excitement and
attracted a large crowd The fire origi-
mated from sparks from locomotive Many
rails were burned and the young timber
much injured. 1t was only by great exer
ton on the part of our citizens that it did
not communicate to the houses in that part
of the town.
Another fire occurred on the same day in
the vicinity Of Washington Grove Camp,
which swept over large tract of land, des-
troying much timber, cord-wood and ienc-
ing.
On the same day still another fire took
place on the farm of the late Lemuel Glenn
ents, in the same neighborhood, and extend
ed to the adjacent farm of Mr.. George Graf,
destroying large amount of fencing.
On Saturday last another destructive con-
fiagration occurred, lasting all day Sunday,
In what is known as the "Big Pines,' about
five miles from this place. 1t originated
from brush burning by some colored peo-
pie, and before it was checked had burned
over an extent of country about six miles
loLg and several hundred yards in width.
An immense amount of valuable timber was
destroyed, and it was only prevented from
destroying many houses and barns by par
ties keeping in advance Of il and burning
all the inflammable material Immediately
surrounding them, The whole neighbor-
hood for miles around was aroused, and at
one time hundreds of people were at work
trying to stay the advance of the flames.
A singular feature of the occasion was
the large number of snakes that were seen
crawling in every direction in front OF the
advancing fire Many persons were at work
at the fire during Saturday night and all day
Sunday. Miss Margaret Beall, of this place,
lost much valuable timber.

Hands on Senator German, when in
formed that certain Maryland politicians
were highly provoked because Mr. Allison
had been selected az assistant postmaster
said: "Mr. Allison was selected because Of
his superior business qualifications, and his
appointment gives entire satisfaction 10 the
business community of Baltimore. In local
politics he may have differed with some
gentlemen, but On national issues his De
mocracy cannot and has never been ques.
toned. We are dating this thing from the
election of Cleveland, and not the last cen
tury." The Senator also stated in connec-
ton with the other federal offices in Mary
land that he supposed the collectorship of
internal revenue would next be called up
for consideration, the President having init
mated that he desired to dispose of that class
OF cases before going into the customs and
judicial appointments. Mr. German said he
could not prevent persons from claiming
that he was supporting them in their en-
deavors 10 procure appointments, but, as a
matter Of fact, he was not pledged 10 sup
port any one person for any Of the Federal
Offices in the State. His advice to all APP
pllcants had uniformly been TO file their APP
plications with the appointing power, and
their claims would receive due considera.
ton when the hour arrived for finally dis.
posing Of the question.

The Rabbitt-Gaither suit "A

The kaDDitt-Galthef Suit "A unani-
nous opinion was filed on Monday last by
the Circuit Court for this county in the
equity case of James 4. Rabbit and wife
against James b. Gather, deciding the case
in favor of the plaintiffs. The suit was in
stituted to restrain the defendant from pro-
ceeding at law to collect two single bills,
each for $4,000. The bill alleges that the
plaintiff, Emily v Rabbit, nee Emily V.
Cecil, was Il grand niece of the defendants
first wife, and that she had lived as an af.
fectionate and honored member of Mr..
Gathers family for thirteen years. that
said single bills were without consideration,
and were obtained by fraud and undue in
fluence practiced upon her by the defendant
whilst he stood in confidential relation to
her. The defendants answer denies that he
had brought suit upon one of the notes, and
denied all the material allegations in refer
ence 10 the Others.
A number Of witnesses were examined,
and one oil the most volumnous records of
evidence to be found in the court accumu-
lated.
In its opinion the court says that it clearly
appears from the testimony that Mrs. Rab.
bits submission to the demands and re.
quests of the defendant, although procured
by his kindness to and affection for her, was
entirely absolute She would sign notes,
single bills and contracts as he directed,
keep them or give them up to him, with nm
questioned confidence. 1t further says that
the "Locust Grove" farm which the defend
ant had decided to Mrs. Rabbit, aud which,
it was contended, was the consideration for
the single bill, was the free and voluntary
gift by the defendant to Mrs Rabbit that
the note was without consideration, that il
was obtained by undue influence, that ii
was executed without proper advice. and
that il was not to be used until the happen
ing OF an event which can never occur, and
that AZ improper use is attempted 10 be
made of tho noia hv Suinu an il
