Third Trial OF a Damage Case.-The
county Circuit Court was engaged for several
days the past week in trying the case Of John W.
Rice VS.. the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore Railroad Company, action for damages for
unlawfully ejecting plaintiff from defendants
cars. 1t seems the plaintiff had purchased a
coupon return ticket from Wilmington to Phila-
delphia. The conductor on the train to Philadel-
phia punched the return part of the ticket in mis-
take but corrected it by writing upon the back of
the ticket, Cancelled by mistake" The conduc-
tor Of the return train refused to take the ticket
because it had been punched and demanded of
Rice 20 cents for his fare, which demand was re-
fused. The train was then stopped and Rice was
elected at an out of theway station where there
were no accommodations. The day was cold and
rainy and Rice was suffering from an attack of
rheumatism at the time. The jury on Wednesday
rendered verdict awarding the plaintiff $4,000.
Messrs. r. R. Boarman, William Campbell and
John L Yellott were counsel for Rice, and Messrs.
D. G. Mcintosh and John Donaldson represented
the Railroad Company.
This is the third time this case has been tried.
In the first trial the jury gave Rice verdict for
81, 500 and in the second trial he was awarded
s., 900 damages In both of these trials the Court
of Appeals reversed the judgment and sent the
case back for retrial because of q technical OBJ
lection to a prayer granted by the lower court.

Gardenville, 18th DESTRUCTION Saturday
night last the German Lutheran Church at this
place, entered by burglars who carried off S12
worth of the church property. The velvet pulpit
cover was taken and the contribution box broken
open and robbed of its contents. This box is
only opened once every six months and the con-
tents vary from ten to thirty dollars, it is not
known how much the thieves got. Entrance was
effected by breaking one of the windows.
On the same night st. Anthony's Roman Cath
Ollie Church, on Franklin avenue, was entered in
the same manner. The Priests robes were car
ried off; also a number of church ornaments.
The contribution box was broken open and the
money stolen. The interior of the church was
very much damaged.

for 81 200, 900. from the United Lines Telegraph
Company to the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany of New York, was left for record in the
Baltimore county Clerks Office few days ago.
1t was promptly recorded at cost of $3.50, and
it covered 144 pages of the record book. The
lines of this Company traverse about fifteen states
and this same mortgage will have to be recorded
in every county through which the wires pass,
involving a very considerable outlay for this
work alone.

our hearts are sad at the loss sustained in the

Thew Want the Town IncorporaT.

They Want the Town Incorporated
The Improvement Association Of Mt. Washing
ton, Baltimore county, held another meeting on
Saturday night last, for the purpose of discussing
the subject of Incorporating the town. Mr.. }. M.
Carter, chairman of the committee appointed at
the previous meeting to formulate charter, re-
ported that the committee had examined num-
Der of charters, and were unanimously in favor of
the one adopted by the citizens of Gainesville as
a basis, and then suggested several improve
ments to the Gainesville charter, in which Mr..
George Whitelock, in some very forcible remarks,
entirely concurred. Mr. Whitelock said the first
thing to do was to determine on incorporation,
and moved that it be the sense of the meeting
that Mt. Washington be incorporated upon gen.
eral system similar to that of Catonsville Mr..
VIM. Daniel offered as substitute that COM
mittee be appointed by the chair to take the mat
ter under consideration and report to an adjourned
meeting to be called by the president, and that a
copy of the proposed charter, when agreed upon
by the committee, be sent to every voter. The
amendment was concurred in, and the chair APP
pointed Messrs. John NJ. Carter, (chairman,) Geo.
Whitelock, VIM. Daniel, H. W. Huntemiller and
Thaddeus S. Sharretts with the president, Mr.
VIM. S. Powell as ex-offici0 member.
1t was concluded that the charter shall super
sede the voluntary system, which makes it OPP
tional whether assessments may be paid. 1t was
determined, however, that the voluntary system
should operate until charter power was actuslized
Mr.. Whitelock said that six out of seven of the
citizens of Oak, Maryland, Charles, st. Paul
street and other avenues were decidedly in favor
of annexation, and as soon as it was brought
about, which would be in the near future, Mt
Washington would derive great benefits by it.
The proposed bounds of the village are: Bel
videre avenue on the south, the north side of
Smith avenue on the north, the N. c. R. R. on
the east, and line running from the corner of
Green Spring and Belvidere avenues along Green
Spring avenue to where it runs west, and thence
by a straight line parallel with the Falls road to
Smith avenue on the west.
