EIKToN, Jan. Elm the Cecil county
court the charges of perjury against
Warren Meekins and William Biddle
were argued before the jury by counsel.
The case was given to the jury at noon,
who came in an hour and a-half later
with o verdict of not guilty as to both
persons.
The civil docket was again taken up
and the case of Williams vs.. WillettB d
Co. taken up. This is an action to re-
cover balance due for crop of peaches.
Judge wicks joined Judge Stump on the
bench to-day.
ELKToN, Jan. There has been a
pretty how 'ye-do of late IN the prosper
GUS village of Rising Sun, the capital of
the Sixth election district of Cecil county,
all on account of the post-office in the
village, which pays about 5000 or 800.
Immediately after the election of Presi-
dent Cleveland, candidates for the posi-
ton began to appear, until nearly a
bakers dozen were in the field. AS time
passed by contestant after contestant, for
lack of support from the political bosses,
dropped out of the race until but two re-
NAMED. Petitions being the order of the
day some lady friend % relative it is said
of one of the applicants, in order to for
ward his chances, drew up or had drawn up
petition which set forth that the under
signed, ladies of Rising Sun, would not
care to go for their mail to a post-office
presided over by the other fellow. This
paper was passed around among the fair
DANES and damsels of the Sixth district
and quite a number Of them honored the
petition with their names. 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the candidate in
whose interest the paper was gotten up is
young man and favorite with the fair
sex. The paper, it is stated, was sen;
either to our member of Congress or t,
the department at Washington
all events, the person whose claim
to the post-office it was inttnetl L
injure, managed to procure copy of it,
and, in consequence, was very wrothy; in
fact, his righteous indignation fairly
boiled over, andi is said he contemplated
suing the women for SANDER, and almost
went SO far as to engage counsel. When
the DANES and damsels of Rising Sun,
whose names were appended, came to
hear of this, they were greatly agitated
and sore afraid, some even being moved
to tears by the sad predicament they had
placed themselves in.
The offended person was, however,
prevailed on to relent and this manner of
persecution has strengthened his chances
for the position, at least in the opinion of
many of the inhabitants of the Rising
Sun. One or other of the applicants will
get left very shortly, as the present in
cumbent, whose time expired some time
ago, has resigned.
