The lecture by DR.. W. II. Milburn,
" The Blind Man Eloquent" to be de-

SOPHIA PINKNEY, WIDOW,
VS..
THE UNKNOWN HEIRS OF EMILY NATL
DA BEALL, SPINSTER,
In the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, in
Equity. Term, 1885.

THE object of this suit is to procure decree
for sale of certain real estate lying and being
in Baltimore county, and which is described in
an exhibit, marked exhibit B." filed with the
bill. The bill states that certain John W. Beal,
late of Baltimore city, was seized and possessed
of the aforesaid real estate, and being 80 seized
and possessed on the 2Sth day of April in the
year 1921, departed this life intestate, leaving
widow, Rachel Beall, who died in the year 1858,
and Amanda Beall, Adene BealI, Lemuel Beall,
Emily Matilda Beall and Edward Albert BealI, his
only children and heirs at law. That the said
Amanda died in the year 1868, leaving last will
and testament by which she devised ali her right,
title and interest in said real estate to the plain
tiff in trust for her sister, the said Emily Matilda
for life, and after her death, to the plaintiff
That the said Adeline died in the year 1925, an
infant, under twenty-one years of age unmarried
and without issue. That the said Lemuel died
in the year lS47, intestate, unmarried, and with
ont ISSUE That the said Emily Matilda lately
died interstate, unmarried and without issue.
That Edward Albert died in the year 1926, an in
FAINT under twenty one years of age, unmarried,
and without issue. That it is unknown whether
the said Emily Matilda Beall left any heirs sur
viving her. That the said real estate cannot be
divided without loss and injury to the parties in
terested therein, and that the plaintiff is entitled
to have the same sold and the proceeds thereof
distributed among the parties in proportion to
their respective interests.
1t is therefore this Ist day of June, 1886, ad-
judged and ordered by the Circuit Court for Bal
timore county, in Equity, that the plaintiff by
causing copy of this order to be inserted in
some newspaper published in Baltimore county
once in each of four successive weeks before
The 9th day of July, 1885,
Give notice to the unknown heirs of the said
Emily Matilda Beal of the object and substance
of this bill, and warning them to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor ON or before the
18th day Of October, 1886, to show cause if any
they have, why decree shall not pass as prayed

@-We think the members of the Baltimore
county fire department exhibited no small amount
of gall when they came before the County Com
missioners on Tuesday and asked for an increase
of pay. They are now receiving $50 per month
and they want it increased to $50. We don't
want to detract anything from their value as fire.
men, and we don't blame any one for getting all
he can, but we will guarantee that hundreds of
good men can be found who would be very glad
to take their places at $50 per month, if they are
tired of the job at that figure. If any of them
should resign on account of the pay, wonder what
they could engage in just now in which they could
make as much. 1t is not at all likely that the
Commissioners will grant theirrequest, but if they
should there would be a howl raised that would
make it extremely disagreeable for them.

B-The Calrert Journal, published at Prince
Frederick, Calvert county, deprecates the lynch
ing of the young colored iend White, who.ately
attempted felonious assault upon little child
in that county, and has no doubt that if the law
had been allowed to take its course conviction
would have followed. Then the Journal adds:
"But on the other hand, while we have able
Justice is so often defeated by the confusing
methods employed by crafty counsel in defense Of
criminals, and our laws allow so many TECHNICAL
ties behind which criminal may seek refuge,
that an unfortunate distrust of justice has arisen
in the public mind and to which may be attributed
the frequent resort to lynch law" This is exactly
the trouble, and so long as this state of affairs
continues, just so long will an outraged people
find i. necessary to take the law in their own
hands and intlict swift and just punishment upon
all brutes guilty of such revolving crimes. No one
will for moment doubt the uprightness of our
courts, but the people are afraid of the shrewd
lawyers who get hold of these cases and will resort
to every subterfuge known to the law to save their
clients neck, and in case of conviction, to secure
a new trial or adopt some other means to prolong
the life of the culprit. This was apparent in the
case Of Howard Cooper. He was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged, but it was given out that
his counsel would carry the case to the Court of
Appeals and perhaps get new trial. and it was
the fear of this that led the people to take the
matter in their own hands and put that villain
out Of the way e9 fgE ~ f

l@-A well-known gentleman informs us that
a road supervisor in his district drives four or
five miles in cart to his work in the morning
and leaves in time to get home by sunset. At
this rate his days work on the road must be a
very short one, but the county has to pay $1.25
for it, besides the compensation for the horse and
cart for full day. We don't see how an honest
man can reconcile his conscience to any such bus
mess as this, and we are not surprised that the
people complain. A farm hand, who makes but
six or seven hours day, would not expect to be
paid for a whole day, and if he did his employer
would soon give him to understand otherwise
We do not see why man working for the county
should not be treated in the same manner, and
particularly as he gets more money for days
work from the latter than he does from the ndivid
ual. There is something radically wrong in our
road system and it is difficult matter to suggest
a remedy.

Mg-T The Baltimore Ecenimg Ne,os is very warm
in its advocacy of Mr.. George W. Childs, editor
and proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and
one of the biggest hearted and best men in the
United States to-day, for the Office of President of
this great country. Other newspapers, following
the lead of the NeWs, are giving Mr.. Childs most
complimentary and energetic boom in the same
direction, but that gentleman, while he of course
highly appreciates the kindly sentiments express
ed and is grateful for them, feels it duty, so that
people may not be misled by his silence, to say
that "this manifestation of your goodwill and
great favor is very welcome to me, but you pro-
pose to do what should not be done, and what I
cannot under any possible circumstances agree
that you shall do"

NS- Nelson Palmer, a young stock broker of
Baltimore, who had always borne an excellent
character, was arrested on Friday of last week
upon the charge of having forged about $4,000
worth of railroad securities while clerk in the
employ of Messrs. Andrews, Peters Co., brokers.
At the hearing on Saturday he was committed to
Jail, but before he was removed from the station
house he took poison and died in a few hours
teemed, having always been regarded as a most
exemplary young man. His downfall and subse-
quent terrible death was great shock to his many
friends, by whom he was held in highest esteem.

who are still out of jail-continue to hold meet

going on the police are making preparations for
emergencies by arming themselves with death
