THE SEPTEMBER COURT.
Of the Week-The
Barnes Case Disposed of.

The grand jury closed its labors on

Brown and ]. Arthur Barnes and found
other indictments as follows: for as
sault and battery, for assault, ) for
larceny, ) for violations of the Local OPP

ment by counsel before jury in the case
of Price VS.. Prindible began at 11.3O by
Messrs. Young, Stump, Writ and Ar
cher. Mr.. Constable made the closing
argument and the case was given to the
jury. Plaintiffs had offered two prayers,
one of which was granted, and the de-
PENDANTS offered four, all of which were
granted. The court then took up the
criminal docket. A number of cases
were called for trial, but the only one
ready was the case Of State VS.. Thomas
Lawson, colored, which was tried before
the court. The facts showed that the
traverser had committed an assault upon
Oliver Bolton, on the farm Of Joseph
Wolleyhan in Sassafras Neck, in July
1885. He was found guilty and fined 81
and costs. Bratton for State, Vim. S

moved to Kent county. Court at 3 p.

ton was first given to the case of State
VS.. Edward J. Conner and same VS..
Frank T. Merkle in which the parties
had confessed to have broken into box
of the Union News Co., at Perryville
the famous Barnes case was commenced.
This trial was one that had excited the
interest of the jewellers in this and ad-
joining counties for some time, and the
court room on Tuesday was densely
crowded with men from all around the
country. The early train from Port De-
post and the regions there aboutsbrought
large number of spectators and long
while before the doors of the court house
were thrown open vehicles of every de-
scription had brought into town mot
ley concourse of the representative far

Pcrryville JOttingS.

Since our last writing many changes
have occurred in our town, several Of
our citizens having changed their places
of abode and others coming in to fill up
all the empty houses until there is not
one remaining in the town.
f. Owens is building double house;
has it almost completed. Both, we learn,
have been rented by parties who are
ready to move in as soon as the plaster
dries.
Mr.. Harrington is building dwelling
on Church street, which will add greatly
to the appearance of that part of the
town. We would like to see others take
hold and build that street full, as it is
good ground for the purpose, and very
cheap.
The new Presbyterian Church is push
ing along and will be finished some day,
if nothing stops them.
The NJ. E. parsonage has about fallen
through, the committee not being able to
agree on definite point, for which we
are very sorry, as the old parsonage at
Charlcstown is not fit to live in. The
Rev. Mr.. White has already left, he hav-
ing been transferred to Smyrna, Del.
The congregation here are very sorry to
loose him, but it cannot be helped. Rev.
Mr.. Thompkinson will fill his unexpired
term on this circuit.
1t is almost daily occurrence to hear
of some one getting hurt up at the new
Is. X o. bridge. Another man was hurt
on Wednesday by bolt falling about 81
feet and striking him on the head, knock
ing him senseless. 1t is wonder he was
not killed; but, we learn, that he is get
ting along finely. The iron is being
raised and placed in position on the last
span of the bridge on this side. There
are two or three spans yet to be placed
on the western side of the island We
understand that the track has been laid
to the eastern end of the bridge.
Mr.. Hurry Fay, our obliging night
ticket agent on the p, w. & B. Railroad
here, is lying very dangerously ill at his
home i'll this town. Mr.. George Watson,
another of our citizens, also a railroad
man, is lying very i'll, as is his wife, who
we fear, has that fatal disease-consump
ton. Miss Edith Owens, daughter of II
F. Owens, is also quite i'll.
. Arthur Owens has arranged and will
leave here on Monday for term in the
Bryant " Stratton business College, il
Baltimore, where he will finish his edu
cation.

North East TripOtagc.

The farmers of this vicinity are nearly
done cutting corn, and are blowing for
wheat; some are almost done seeding.
A neat and strong iron fence has been
placed in front of the NJ. E. Cemetery by
the trustees. 1t adds much to its beauty.
North East will be represented at the
coming County Fair at Elkton next
week. We wish those who go pleasant

Death of a Native of Cecil County

James T. Megredy, son of Enoch
Megredy, who removed from Port De-
post to Illinois in 1887, died at his resi-
dence near Chatham Sangamore county,
Sept. 23d, 1885, aged 6G years. A Chicago
paper says: Mr.. James Megredy was one
of the oldest and best known citizens of
Sangamore county, and several times
represented the county in the legislature
of the state. Mr.. Megredy was farmer,
and successfully prosecuted that vocation
during his lifetime. He was a man of
more than ordinary mental ability, and
his moral and religious influence was
strongly impressed on his manhood.

daughter, Salle A. was united in mar
riage to Mr.. VIM. o. Gilmour by the
Rev. VIM. Schouler, of Trinity Episcopal
Church. Mrs. Gilmour is well-known
here as a lady of much intelligence and
extremely pleasant manners. Her hus-
band has been journalist in this town
for many years, and is man of fine

present at the wedding but small party

side in Elkton at the home of the groome

price of a horse. Recently a Missou-
ri man had a Morgan colt that he was
eager to sell at five hundred dollars.
But when one was ready to go five
hundred miles to buy the colt If he
suited, asked the price of the animal,
the owner replied that it was worth
one thousand dollars, but that he
would take eight hundred. Such
cases are of SO frequent occurrence
that a buyer cannot afford to hunt up
scattered horses and bring them to-
gether, after paying anything like the
value they would have if they were
all in one neighborhood. In the more
progressive parts of the country
breeders are learningto join breeding
one class of horses, to raise the best
of these to sell as early as possible
and to make handsome profits.

companied by a medal, as a recogni-
ton of services in tho rebellion of
1869. The pope, SO assert the family,
represented the nail to have come out
of the cross upon which the Savior
was crucifed. The family thoroughly
believe the story and keep a light
burning constantly underneath the
place where it is hanging on the wall.
The nail looks ancient enough to have
come out Of the ark. It has a large
head on it and resembles much the
nails used for hanging pictures.
Louis Riel always carries the medal

RIEL's FATE.

The Canadian press seems to be in
favor of rigorous measures in dealing
with Riel. The Toronto Mail says:
"No doubt the general public will to
a large and wide extent initiate the
conduct of the troops IN General
Middleton's camp, who maintained an
attitude Of stern reserve during the
reception of the prisoner. The law
will take its due course, whatever
that may be. Our people, our sold
iers and our government have in this
affair proceeded with dignity and
firmness and spirit and these will
characterize them to the end"
The Toronto World says: "Riel
should be dealt with in the stearnest
manner, and the best way to bringthe
hostile Indians to their senses is to
make an example Of the i~ngtigator of
the rebellion. Neither his race nor
creed should be any cloak for such a
crime as he has just committed"
Says the Toronto News: "The
hanging Of rebels has gone out fash
ion; but Riel's case is not an ordinary
one. He should either be hanged or
shot. Who will intercede for the
scoundrel? Will Blake, to capture
the French votes by asking for Riel's
release! Dare Sir John let the muir
