Two Divorce Suits.

Two applications for divorce have re-
Circuit Court.
Mrs. Henrietta E. Crossan, through
her attorneys, George A. Blake and Gin
ton Mccullough, Esq, has appealed for
divorce, Uincul0 matrintonii, (absolute
divorce) from James r. Crossan. Mrs
Crossan, who is a daughter of Robert
Logan, resides in the Fifth dirtrict. Mr.
Crossan, "a blacksmith by trade, lives III
the Fourth district. They have not lived
together for four or five years aud Mrs.
Crossan claims that her husband aban-
doned her. Abandonment for three years
or more without hope of reconciliation is
sufficient cause for divorce in Maryland.
Mrs. Crossan also alleges that Mr..
Crossan, unbeknown to her, had wife
living at the time he married her, She
states that he represented to her that his
first wife was dead and once pointed out
her grave.
She has since learned that his first wife
is living III Delaware. He has one child
by his second wife.
The writer this week saw the two mar
riage certificates. One certified that
Henrietta E. Logan and James r. Cros.
san were married August 2, 1879, by
Rev. Robert ]. Crossan. The other was
to the effect that Mary Broadbent and
James Crossan were married IN Philadel
phia by Rev. Charles d. Cooper on Jan.
uary LIST, 1862.
1t will be noticed that there is no mid
die initial in the name of Crossan in the
| last certificate.
There is said to be proof, however, that
he is the same man.
VIM. T. Warburton, Esq, is counse
for Crossan.
The other application is that of Rachae
Howell for a divorce, u gincuIO mdtrj
monii from James Howell. VIM. Jones
Esq, is counsel for the applicant. Mrs
Howell claims that her husband aban
dOned her. Her name at the time OF the
marriage was Claypool and she was mar
ried to Howell at Chesapeake City il
1870 by Rev. Mr.. Newman. Mr.. Howell
at present reides in Pennsylvania.

Pleasant Hill Items.
PLEASANT HILL, Nov. 21st

PLEASANT HILL, Nov. Dist 1888
Dear Whig:-Having seen bul little in
the papers from this prosperous little viii
lage called Pleasant Hill or better known to
some by the name of Egg Hill, have en-
deavored this evening to rub the rust from
my pen to give short sketch of its improve
ments.
1t is place lying about mid way between
oxford and Eikton on the Blue Ball and
Elkton road, and has been looked upon in
the past as a poor, God forsaken part of the
country, grown up with thick bushes with
only three or four houses and little old
school house, hardly big enough to swing a
bob tail cat around i'll without MASKING its
brains out against the wall.
In the fall of SO NJ. G.. Scarborough
bought a tract of land from Charles Morri-
son on which he built a small store house
with the expectation of catching a few pen
MES from the school children. He cut off
the bushes, grubbed out stumps, and graded
off the banks giving things more tidy
appearance and in the spring of 'S7 he sold
off lot to his brother A. w. Scarborough
on which he built = neat and comfortable
dwelling. Next he gave half acre on which
was erected Free Methodist church where
the people gather in by the scores, gentle
men with their high hats and picadilly COL
| lars, and the young ladies' with tn ir dresses
rutfled and tucked and their hair all frizzles
and bangs and wearing their brothers light
felt hats for change. In the spring of '9S
| finding 1t necessary to make some improve
ment about the store and not being pleased
| with its situation he dug a cellar some %
feet father back on which was placed the
store. He then commenced the erection of a
new dwelling house and putting up yard
fence making flower beds, planting flowers
and shrubhery of different kinds all of
which add greatly to the appearance of the
| place. In the fall it was found necessary
that the county should build new school
house the old site not being desirable
one. 1t was decided by the Trustees to
trade the old house and lot to NJ. G. Scar
borough for a portion of his ground on which
they built house that is credit to the
builder, county and community.
Thera have also been other improvem nts
in the way of new barns and wagon houses
on the store property. A new barn on the
| farm of VIM. T. Bonkams, James Andersons
| new house, Thomas and Tolbert's houses,
Geo. Anderson is about to commence build
ing new house.
l shall in the future keep you posted in
the items happening in this vicinity.

Thomas Hutchinson, youth of Is
years, works for James Wharton who
drives the stage between Chesapeake
City and Elkton and has livery IN the
former place. Hutchinson sometimes
drives the stage.
Tom was the victim of a murderous
assault OH Monday night. While at work
in the stable about nine o'clock some
person unknown put out the lantern and
struck Hutchinson blow on the head
with large iron hinge.
He was found by Mr.. Wharton in the
stable in dazed condition holding his
| head in his hands. Blood was flowing
| from bad wound on his forehead. The
iron cut "a hole about an inch in length
through his cap. He was unable to talk
for several hours He then said that the
light was extinguished and he was struck
by some one whom he could not recog
nize owing to the darkness DR.. J. V.
Wallace who was called dressed the
| wound. Hutchinson is said to suspect a
young man with whom he had quarreled.
His employer, Mr.. Wharton, says he is
an honest and peaceable youth. He was
able to sit up in bed Thursday morning.

can Important Question
Answered."

The question is often asked, where can l
get good, well made and stylish clothing at
moderate prices. With confidence we rec
ommend our readers to the house of E o.
Thompson, Philadelphia. Personal dealings
with this firm lead us to believe that to do
better is not possible. For the coming cold
weather they have prepared most extern
sive stock of unusually good clothing, which
for quality and low prices has not been
obiainable heretofore. Special attention is
called to their illustrated advertisement in
this issue, which conveys an idea of the
specialties they have in overcoats suits
trousers, cape coats and listers. Samples
Of cloth Of any garment can be- obtained by
simply writing for them. Instructions fol
self-measurement and how to order theil
clothing by mail go with all samples.
When in Philadelphia we advise you t.
visit their store, 1888 Chestnut street di

The Republicans of the Seventh dis
trict celebrated their victory on Wednes-
day night at Port Deposit by one of the

rades ever seen in that section of the
county. They were assisted by the Re-
publican clubs of Rising Sun and Row

o'clock on special train. The parade
was augmented by a cavalade of about so
horsemen, Mr.. Enoch Noyes acting as
chief marshal, with Messrs. +. z. Brick

began early on Wednesday, a very large
number of the dwellings and business
places OF the town being beautifully dec
GRATED with American flags and Harrison
and Morton bunting. The electric lights
and Chinese lanterns made the illumina-
tion very brilliant at night, in fact Port
Deposit blazed with light and glory as
she never before blazed on any similar
occasion. Many OF the decorations of
private residences were noticeably hand
some. The transparencies in the parade
were very appropriate, and caused con
siderable merriment. After the parade
short addresses were delivered by Messrs
William NJ. Marine aud John E. Wilson.
The committee deserves great credit for
the manner in which they took the mat
ter in hand, and carried out successfully
