An Interesting Case and Verdict of q
Jury in Talbot.

EAsroN, NID., May 2s.-In the circuit
court for Talbot county, Mrs. Florence
Courtney, nee Valiant, wife of the Rev.
A. NJ. Courtney of Baltimore, and owner
Of the Double Mills farm on the Third
Haven, brought suit against Samuel X.
Valiant for trespass, which has just been
decided Captain Valiant built a shell
wharf and oyster house at Double Mills
Mrs. Courtney alleged on her property
The defence was that the wharf was built
out from a publie landing, in pursuance of
permission given by the county commits
sioners, and the oyster house was built on
the wharf. There is an act of assembly
authorizing the county commissioners to
build and lease wharves at the public land
ings 1t was a question whether or not
this was public landing. In 1862 public
road was laid down to the Double Mills,
but no public landing was condemned.
The road runs for 100 feet along the water
front of Double Mills farm, and 1t was al
legged that the whole of this having been
used by the public as landing for more
than 20 years. had become a public land
ing BY prescription. In deciding the case
this point was not reached, A verdict fer
Mrs. Courtney was given on the instruc-
ton of the court that Captain Valiant had
no right to erect an oyster house even If
he had to build wharf, and the county
commissioners had no authority to give
him that power. Judge Stump went fur
ther than Judge Robinson was willing to
go. He held that an oyster house could
not be built on pier 100 yards, or any
other distance from the shore without the
consent of the riparian owner. Anappeal
was taken to the court in bane,

The sale of Enoch Moores shipyard, at
the foot of Fourth street, to the Whining
ton Steamboat Company was consum-
mated on Monday Mr.. Moore however,
has taken a lease on the premises and will
continue in business there until March
25th, 1892 finishing mp work now on hand.
Moore's shipya-d was established over
so years ago BY Enoch and Charles Moore
at the foot Of Poplar street, subsequently
they moved to the present location at the
foot of Fourth street.
Mr. Moore's reason for selling was an
inability TO increase his facilities for busi-
ness. The steamboat company owned on
one side of him and the railroad COM
panyis property hemmed him in on the
other, SO that his plant was hampered and
he had no means of spreading beyond his
present limits. When. therefore, the
steamboat company made him a favorable
proposition of purchase he accepted. The
terms of the sale are private
1t is not known what the purchasers
intend to do with the property, as their
officials are reticent. II is understood,
however, that they will greatly improve
their present wharfage, and it is also in
timated that they have in contemplation
the establishment of line of passenger
and freight steamers between this city and

The Providence and Stonington Steam
boat Company of New York have made
every preparation 10 accommodate the
heavy rush of summer travel this year
and with this object in view they have
placed In commission their four palace
steamers which have been overhauled
handsomely furnished and decorated and
it is safe to say that they will maintain
their reputation for speed convenience and
comfort. The company is making strong
bid for the immense summer travel be-
tween New York, Boston and the princi-
pal watering resorts in New England. On
the arrival of the steamers at Providence
there are three trains in waiting to carry
passengers to Boston, White Mountains,
Bar Harbor and at Stonington similar
service is in operation TO convey travellers
and tourists to Watch Hill and Narragan-
sett Pier. These steamers leave Piers 20
and 50 at $50 p. M, daily Sunday ex-
cepted.

arennsyY After the Reading Road.

The Philadelphia Record last Friday
gives a circumstantial story of big rail-
road deal which was nearly consum-
mated in January last, but fell through
because of the public spirit of a majority
of the shareholders, who desired COM
peting lines of road for Philadelphia.
The Record says "a conspiracy to
wreck the Reading railroad property
and to place that corporation as we'll as
the trade Of Philadelphia at the mercy
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has just leaked out. Had it succeeded
Mr.. A. j. Cassett would have been
elected to succeed Mr.. Mcleod as presi-
dent Of the Reading company in January
last The Harrisburg extension, CON
yerting the Reading into trunk line,
would have been stopped, ocean steam
ship lines with which the Reading is
affiliated would have been driven away
from Philadelphia, its Atlantic City
branch would have been rendered un-
profitable, the terminal project would
have been defeated, and Philadelphia
would have been at the mercy of one

Mr.. EDIToR.-As / see no news

thoght 1 would give you a sketch
of it.
We have fine crops and fine grass
and fat cattle, we are all right for
fine crop, and L think that is the
news all over the county, except
fruit.
In regard to the hog law some of
the people in this part of the coun-

as we can't stay long enough to at
tend to business without getting

Most of the people are through

an average of 20 bushel to the acre.

Well as 1 hear of no sickness L
can safely say that every body is
well in this part of the county.
Our kind friends Frank Longs
folks have the sore eyes.
Mr.. Editor as you requested
some news from every part of the
county I thought 1 would write a
few lines to you. AS this is the

send this to the waste basket. l

The Association, but for the ex-
cessive hot weather, would have
been very beneficial. When one
uses all his efforts to barely exist,
and not comfortable at that, he
derives very little benefit, from a
well written paper, of an hours
length. The nights, to a man from
San Saba county were intolerable.
Yet, we were informed were cool
for Austin. 1t does seem a city
on SO many hills ought to be cool,
but Austin was not. at this time.
What other good was derived,
besides the advancement made by
listenting to literary productions.

bachelor pedagogue, well known
to you, was decidedly on the "look-

oh, no, the best was audible.
Many new acquaintance was
made. Some diplomas with the

gate" as q consolation for the
graduates from a college in anoth-
er state. We are glad Texas is in
such an advanced educational era
that graduates of other states are
no longers, particularly, needed in
the pedagogical ranks. Let her adj
vance for the next ten years as she
has for the last five, and she too,
will have few school-marms and
school-masters for export. But
has not Texas placed the Embargo?
Will not other section of the world
join California and Texas and say
we want our home made teachers
or none? When all avocations are
thus confined to certain localities,
our Republic will lose the most
attractive diamond in her charm.
At the close of the Association a
grand excursion to the coast, via.
San Antonio; was an attractive
feature. How nice it would be to
to have these annual conventions
either on the coast or on the table

can be enjoyed.
