THE ELKTON FAIR.

The Stockholders Meet and Decide to Give
the Regular Annual Exhibition.
An adjourned meeting of the stock
holdes and managers of the Cecil County
Agricultural Society was held at the
Office of the society on Tuesday last,
which was we'll attended. The committee
appointed at previous meeting, to con
fer with the winners of premiums at the
last exhibition, and to ascertain how
many of them were willing to surrender
their premiums, reported that about one
half of them had signitied their willing
ness to surrender their premiums,
amounting 20 about eleven hundred dol
lars, and that the balance would doubt
less accept "a very liberal discount upon
the amounts due them. The committee
appointed to canvass for additional sub
scrptions for stock reported, about thirty
shares sold. A careful consideration OF
the financial condition of the society
showed, that about seventeen hundred
dollars would be necessary to meet the
pressing obligations OF the society, and
enable it to give the reguls annual ex
hibition next fall. Upon motion of Mr..
John w. Harriott su description for stock
was started among those present, which
resulted in the placing OF thirty addl-
! tional shares, making total subscrip-
! ion of six hundred dollars, and leaving
10 balance of about $l100, yet to be raised.
/ To secure this balance, a committee
/ composed of DR.. H. Il. Mitchell, John
Gilpin, John W. Harriott. John Gilpin,
! DR.. John H. lamar, Ii. G. Mcdowell,
| Henry J. Briscoe and S. G. Rowland was
appointed. The following resolution was
then adopted:
ResOloed, By the stockholders that the
board of managers he instructed to hold
an annual fair for 1891, at such date as
they shall agree upon, and that the
stockholders pledge to the managers
their earnest support and cooperation.
1t is but proper to say that the meeting
was marked by a greater degree of en-
Ihusiasm and spirit than heretofore ex-
hibited and that the prospects of another
Cecil county fair are exceedingly promis
ing. Another meeting of the stockhold
ers will be held on the second Tuesday
| in April.

Various Legal Questions Presented to the
Court.
The several remaining suits of the
State against the hondsmeu of ex-State
Treasurer Stevenson Archer were taken
up in the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county, at Towson, Monday. There
are three of these suits, one against the
executors of Henry w. Archer, one
against the second bond from November
IS, 1889, to Archer's third election by
the legislature last winter, and the other
against the third bond from the date of
his last election to the discovery of his
defalcation, in March last. The state
claims, in the first of thes suits, Sc 200,
the amount of Henry w. Archer's estate
still undistributed and remaining in the
hands of executors; in the second suit,
SIC, 900 for Baltimore and Chic Car Trust
and West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
Railway bopds distracted and interest
coupons of Treasury Relief and Balti-
more and Ohio Car Trust bonds. The
third suit involves only about s. 900.
There is also suit in equity in the Cir
cult Court for Hartford county, at Bela ir
against the legatces and devisees of
Henry w A"cher for 1926. 900, less the
S., 200 in the hands of the executors.
sued for at Towsou.
The first case called 1t Towson on Nor
day : The one against the executors.
Mr.. Carter, for tie defendants, said
they were perfectly willing that the yer,
dict of $50, 900 for the state in the suit
case, and that jury should be empanel
led and Judgment for that amount rem
dered. Upon payment of that udgement
the debt to the state, he said was gone.
If the state, WAS not willing to accept
that, he would ask the court to continue
the case until the questions, which were
the same as those involved in the suit
ainst the first bond, could be deter
mined by the Court of Appeals.
Attorney General Whyte asked that
| counsel for the defense be required TO
make up their pleading so that the case
could come before court in a tangible
shape, and then he would answer coun-
sers argument for continuance.
Judge Fowler said he did not under.
stand counsel for the defense as saying
that the state must accept verdict of
$50, 900 in this suit, but simply that if
the state did not want to accept it, the
defense would ask for "A continuance.
Mr.. Carter said that was the position
of the defense.
Attorney General Whyte said the de-
Tense had no right to ask the state to say
what it would do until the case was
ready for trial.
Judge Fowler said the issue must be
made up before continuance was grant
ed. The pleadings were made up, aud
| then Mr., Carter asked for q continuance.
Mr.Poe for the state, said 60 good
cause had been given for continuance.

Death of MIR. Rose,

Mr.. Timothy V. Rose a highly esteem
ed citizen OF this county, the preoarious
condition OF whose health We have sever
al times recently noticed in our Columns,
died on Sunday last at the residence OF
his sister-ln- law Miss Mary I. Gillingham
at Humeville Bucks county Pa, in his
seventy fourth year. Some months ago
Mr.. Rose was stricken with a slight
stroke of paralysis from the effects OF
which he never recovered, and which
while it did not cuuiue him to the house,
was the loTe-runner OF the end OF Els
mortal career. Mr. Rose was man of
high christian character and exemplary
life, and who for number of years was
a prominent, member of Bay View
Methodist Protestant church. His wife
having been dead a number of years, he
has recently made his home with his son
Harry G. Rose an what is known as the
Sandy Hill Farm near Bay View. Some
time ago with the prudent business
method and forethought which have ever
distinguished him, he made a distribu
tiou of his property among his sons, and
which embraced several very valuable
farms. His son Randall W. Rose became
the owner of the Home farm where the
family had resided. Harry G. Rose of
the Sandy Hill farm. Mr.. John White
who married his daughter Miss Elizabeth
Rose became the owner OF the Grant
property near Eders Station in this
county, and Preston Rose the Iron Hill
farm about four miles east of Elkton.
The remains of Mr.. Rose were inferred

The state ,.ould submit thu case 80 Il g
court on the testimony Of the first suit,
and would be content to accept verdict
for Sc 200 as unaijusted assets, and
would take Judgment for $50, 900 if
the court thought The former verdict
binding.
Attorney General Whyte said the state
would submit the case without jury
upon The same testimony, and if the court
said the state was sstoppod from getting
more than $50 GOO, the state could go be
fore the Court OF Appeals, thus getting
rid Of trial, and leaving with the court
TO say whether the verdict in the first
case was binding.
Mr. Carter said the defense would rot
submit it to the court.
Judge Fowler said the court could see
no danger in continuing the case, and it
would, therefore, be done and the next
case taken up.
In the suit on the second bond the de-
Tense filed fifth plea that Archer did
not give bond or take the oath of af1ice
after his second electoin-January 49,
1SSS-until November Is, 1899. Upon
this plea it was contended that us he
failed TO qualify within thirty days after
his second election, as required by the
Constitution, he had no right to qualify
after that and WAS therefore not trea-
surer and his bond had no validity. Ar
gument OF this point was made by Mr..
Carter, Mr.. Cans and Mr. Constable for
the defense. Mr.. Poe began his argu-
ment for the state, conteuding that the
bond was valid and statutory bond,
properly approved, and If there was any
question raised it was voluntary bond
ard binding upon the sureties.

The State Has Never Paid in Full for Five
Thousand Bank Shares Bought Fifty
Years Ago.
WILMINGToN, Del, Mar. 10.-State
Treasurer Buruite has received letter
from Recorder Morris, of SUSSEX, stating
that the Breakwater and Frankford
Railroad mortgage is on record in his
office, the record bearing date of May 7,
1874. Elk State Treasurer Robert II.
Davis says the mortgage was paid for by
him in Delaware State bonds but he
does not recall whether or not he got
the original back.
1t has come to light that the State
never paid in full for the 5000 shares OF
Farmers Bank stock it bought about
fifty years ago. At that time, during
President Jackson administration, Del
aware received portion of its share of
the United States Treasury surplus
which was being distributed. 1t was de-
eided to expeud all the money SO received
for bank stock, and 5000 shares of the
Farmers Bank were purchased at $50 a
share. The first receit from the surplus
was $50, 900, which the State paid on
account. No second distribution was
made, and $4,000 is yet due on the stock.
This is the reason the stock is quoted at
$50 a share in the Treasurers report
Mr.. Davis thinks was also a reason why
the certificates might not have been

| Treasurer, was in Dover to-day. He

when legislative committee states ex
