Court of Appeals Decisions.

The Court of Appeals met this week, filed
a number of decisions and adjourned to the
first Monday in April. Among the decisions
rendered were four in Carroll county cases.
Judge Alvey gave the opinion in the cases
of Frank p Cover VS.. William Myers, an
action brought to recover the amount of a
promissory note for $50, made payable at
the First National Bank of Westminster, the
note having been given for the price Of fifteen
bushels of seed wheat, which the defendant
was induced to purchase of the Carroll Coun-
ty Industrial Grain and Seed Company, of
which P. Huddle was president and whose
name appears as the indorser of the note. A
new trial is awarded in this case, which was
decided in the lower court in favor of the
appellee, Myers. A reversal is also made in
the case of Cover VS.. Bowersox & Formwa 1t,
involving similar suit
In the case of Steele, guardian, etc, VS.
Steele, Judge Bryan rendered the decision,
affirming the order of the court below. This
case went up from the Orphans Court of
Carroll county.
Nicholas W. Steele alleged that when the
Oakland Mills property was sold his fat her
told him to buy it,.and that he would give him
$1,000 toward the purchase money; that his
father said that he could not give him the
money then, but would do so within year;
that he did purchase the property, but that
his father died before he fulfilled his promise
The claim was contested by Jas. II. Steele,
Jr., a grandson of the deceased, minor,
through his mother, who is his guardian, and
by Pinkney J. Davis, son-in. law, for his
three minor children. The case was tried
before the Orphans Court on the objection
to the claim, and the claim was allowed to
Mr.. Steele by the court.
The Court of Appeals on Thursday over
ruled the motion for a re-argument in the
MeKinstry will case.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.
suicide--For the Love of the Woman
the Man Does Likewise.

A few weeks ago Helena c. Brown, the
teacher of the colored school on Charles
street, this city, took chloroform with suicidal
intent because the course of the true love be-
tween herself and William Edwards did not
run smoothly, and for the same reason Ed
wards tried to end his earthly career last
Sunday evening, by shooting himself in the
head with an English bulldog 44-calibre
pistol.
The woman in the case came here from
Baltimore last fall to take charge of the
colored school. Soon after she came here
she attracted the attention and devotion of
Smith Edwards, a brother of William. He
was but nineteen years of age, and his father
sent him off to Baltimore. William, who is
only seventeen, seems to have succeeded his
brother in the affections of the school-marm.
As above stated, because matters were not
as serene between them as was desirable, she
attempted suicide. She was then boarding in
the family of Nelson Edwards, father of
William and Smith. After this episode she
went to board with the family of his son,
John Edwards, on Foundry avenue.
On Sunday night, after finishing his work
at Judge Bonds, where he has been a servant
for several years, William went to the house
of his brother John to see his lady-lover.
After short interview with her, he went into
the kitchen and fired the shot that came near
proving fatal at once. The bullet entered
just below the right temple and ranged down
ward. Drs. Billingslea, Herring and Martin
were summoned shortly after the shot was
fired, and probed for the ball. 1t was not
found, but the physicians suppose it to be
lodged in the left antrim highmorianum. The
youth is improving, and while the wound is
not necessarily fatal, the danger line is not

Investigating a Former Citizen.

Mr.. Campbell, of 1880 G street, N. W,
Washington, D. c., was in Westminster oa
Wednesday, looking up the record of Eugene
May, an Englshman, who lived near y two
years in Westminster, and was engaged while
here in the bottling business and law suits.
Mr.. Campbell owns an estate of about 1900
acres in Fairfax county, Virginia, not far
from Washington. About year ago May
represented himself to Mr.. Campbell as a
first-class farmer, and he was engaged to take
charge of his estate. He now alleges that
May has sold about 81, 900 worth of stock and
other property from the farm, and that May
has some alleged contracts empowering him
to make such sales, &C., and that his children
support his testimony as to the contracts
Mr.. Campbell found that some people here
do not have high estimate OF May, and Geo.
W. Grass, C. E. Jerome, David Lippy, Peter
Liedlich, John II. Keene and Mrs. Florence
Arnold each made affidavit that they would
not believe May on oath. The difficulty be-
tween Campbell and May are now a subject
of arbitration, subject to appeal to the courts.

Free Wool.

Hon. Moses T. Stevens, of Massachusetts,,
spoke in favor of the bill to place wool on the
free list in the House of Representatives, on
Friday of last week. He said-''As manu-
facturer he was not afraid to seek the relief
of the people by reduced duties on his pro :
duct, and he believed that the majority of
American wooden manufacturers who had
carefully studied this question were rapidly
coming over to his opinion. The abolition Of
the duty on wool did not mean necessarily
a smaller demand or lower prices for Ameri.
can wool. 1t meant that both American wool
and foreign could be used to the best advan-
tage for the purpose TO which each was best
adapted, and that they could be mixed in
proper proportions in all sorts of fabrics. Ii
meant that more wool would be used than
was used today, because foreign wool, less the
duty, would take tie place ofshoddy and other
limitations, and more genuine wooden goods
would be sold to American buyers, and it
might mean in the future, perhaps, also the
opening of new markets to American manu-
facturers Reduced taxes and lower prices
always meant increased consumption. The.
bill as it stood represented infinite possibili-
ties of good to all the American people,

SYKEsvILLE ITEMS.
Successful Social and supper-Sudden Death
of Milton Day-Personal Items

On Thursday evening of last week a sociabe
and supper was held at the residence of Mr.
Louis 81. Schultz, under the auspices of the
ladies of Springfield Presbyterian Church,
and it proved to be thorough success, both
socially and financially. One of the features
of the evening was a bonnet and necktie
party. Two sets of cards, containing CORE
spending numbers, were distributed among
the ladies and gentlemen. The gentlemen
then sought the ladies holding cards of the
same number as their own, and when they
had found them they proceeded to table
where the gentlemen selected hat and the
material for trimming it, while the lady pro-
cured the material for a necktie, which she
made while he trimmed her hat. To say
the least the results of the labors of some of
the gentlemen in the millinery line were
really startling, and sufficient to turn even a
Partisan milliner green with envy. 1t was
generally conceded by those present that
quite number of artists had been lost to the
millinery world. The prize for the best
trimmed hat, chamois skin razor case,
trimmed with red silk, was awarded to Mr..
John c. Brooks, amid much applause, and
the prize for the best made necktie was awarded
to Miss Belle Brooks, and was beautifully
made work bag.
Mr.. Milton Day, the inventor of the ebay
Climax Cultivator," died very suddenly on
the evening Of the l4th inst, at the residence
of Mr. John Nichols, of this place. Mr.. Day
had been afflicted for some time past with
heart trouble, which ultimately caused his
death. He was in the 6Sth year of his age,
and well known and esteemed throughout
the community.
The many friends of Rev. j. N. Davis and
family were pleased to learn, at the conclusion
of the Methodist Conference, that they were

pearance, and on the bottom was patch
Mr.. Reaver thought it was intended as an ad :
vertisement, although it had on it ''compli.
ments of the season" and placed it in one of
his show windows. Recently youth picked
it up and ran a finger nail under the patch on
the sole, to test the adhesive quality of the
paste with which it was put on. The patch
was loosened, and it was found to cover hole
in the shoe, in which there were twenty five
excellent cigars. Mr.. Reaver was very much

day last with gallon Of molasses made by
his brother, Charles NJ. Hess, near Harvey,
which was of most excellent quality. The
ADVOCATE last fall published some account of
Mr.. Hess molasses industry, which we learn
is an assured success. From half an acre of
sorghum, so gallons of molasses were made,
and the molasses sells readily at 50 cents a
gallon. Raising sorghum pays better than
raising grain, and an enlargement of the in,
dustry would be of great benefit to the far
mers Of the neighborhood, in giving diversi,
ty to farming and ready market for sorghum
cane. We understand that Mr. Hess pro-
poses enlarging his factory the present year.

Another Hull-less oat Note Case.
,e Towson correspondent of the Baltimore

The Towson correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, says:
A case of interest to farmers began in the
County Court before Judge Burke and jury
on Wednesday. 1t is case growing out of
a "hull-lessn oats contract The suit was
brought by George l.. Stocksdale, West
minister lawyer, to recover on note for 500
given him by Elizabeth and Lycurgus Wamp-
Ter near Beckleysville, Baltimore county.
William S. Keech appears for Mr.. Stocksdale,
who also assists in the trial, and W. Frank
Mitchell and Andrew Ensor represent the
defendants. A note for 5000 was Originally
given by Mr.. Wampler and wife to Dennis
Dudrear, who dealt in 'hull-less' oats. Mr..
Wampler testified that he had been so strong
ly importuned to buy the oats that he agreed
to take twenty bushels at $40 bushel, for
which he gave the note for 5000. The agent
represented that his company would take
double that quantity of oats from Mr.. Wamp-
Ter after he had raised crop. Mr.. Wamp-
Ter said he was sent some kind of oats,
from which he raised about sixty.fve bush
els, but they were very inferior in quality.
He did not pay the note, and it was placed in
the hands of Mr.. Stocksaale, for collection.
Mr.. Stocksdale, he said, offered to return the
5000 note for one of 800, to which Mr..
Wampler acceded. On Thursday the jury
rendered verdict for the plaintiff for S117,-
