The WOodlawn Farmers Meet
ing.

Under the management of Cecil Grange,
Rising Sun, arrangements have been nearly
perfected for holding Farmers Meeting
and Institute on Woodlawn camp ground
on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 23 and
a. Several first class speakers have been
eng tagged for the occasion and others have
been corresponded with who are expected
to be in attendance also, and deliver
addresses on subjects of general interest as
we'll as on matters especially pertaining to
agriculture.
Exhibits of farm products, stock, nachin
cry, implements and household things will
be on exhibition, and persons having any
thing in these lines which will contribute
to the interest of the meeting are invited to
send it to the grounds.
The prime object of the members of Cecil
Grange in getting up this entertainment is
bringing together the people, not of the
neighborhood only, but from a distance
where acquaintance may be formed, views
exchanged and the social amenities strength
ened and widened, and an intellectual treat
enjoyed by all, that will prove both interest
ing and of lasting benefit. The field of the
farmers thought and observation needs
enlargement, to enable them to keep abreast
of the times and not fall behind to bring
up the rear in the grand procession of the
age.
Cecil Grange extends a cordial invitation
to all, and hope their efforts will meet with
| a hearty response not only from farmers
| and their families but all classes of the
| community.
Special invitations have been forwarded
under the seal of the order to neighboring
| oranges ard farmers clubs, and hearty
| response from them is expected.
The following committees have been APP
pointed to perfect arrangements and looB
after details, and nothing will be neglected
to insure the gratifying success aimed at by
the Grange

Athletics.

A large number of Elktonians, includ-
ing many ladies', assembled on Saturday
| afternoon to witness the skiff race on the
Elk river. The iron bridge which was
the finish, and the wharves on both sides
near the bridge, were occupied by the
boats, who cheered with will when
the racers came in sight.
It was expected that three boats would
compete but owing to a mishap only
two came up for the start. They were
manned by Albert Constable, Jr., stroke,
Fred T. Haines, aud Reginald Constable,
coxswain; Walter Boyd, stroke, John
G. Constable, Hiram Mccullough, cox
swain. Mccullough however did not
steer but was carried to make the
weight in the latter boat equal to that
in the former. The start was made
from Cedar Point, the starter, Fred
Lewis firing the pistol at $50 o'clock.
Constable and Haines took the lead
and by good work maintained it to the
finish. When a short distance below
Sipgerly's wharf Haines snapped an oar,
at which time the other boat was four
lengths in the rear. This was a material
accident. Both now spurted to the
finish, amid encouraging cheers from
the onlookers, aud the skiffs shot under
the bridge, Constable and Haines win
ming by length and half. This course
is fraction over a mile, which was
covered in eleven minutes and twenty
five seconds. George r. Ash acted as
judge.
The interest shown in Saturdays
regatta has encouraged the young oars
men of this town, and it is quite likely
that a'second race will be arranged for
this month.
The fifth and deciding game in the
Elkton-Newark series has been ar
ranged for this afternoon on the Elkton
Fair Grounds. The Elkton team has
been very materially strengthened of

is called at $50. Let us encourage our
club by attending.
The foot ball season will soon roll
around. There is no reason why
Elkton should not have representative
eleven of ability. Our team of last year,
although young organization, gave
evidence of the fact that it possessed
plucky material, and the players i'm
proved by the past years experience,
will doubtless make an active ard success
full fight this fall.
For some time past the matter of hold
ing an Athletic Exhibit in Elkton has
been agitated, and it is now only nee
essary to make few final arrangements
for the event. \ meeting to organize
an Athletic Association will be held in
the law office of Henry NJ. Mccullough,
Esq, on Monday evening at o'clock.
Those interested ia the movement are
invited to attend.

Joseph Nolan Sued for Breach of Prom Sc
to Marry.
BY reason Of Joseph N0lan's failure to
keep his promise to marry Mrs. Caroline
Fernell, the latter represents that she "has
suffered great mental suffering pains and
humiliation and extreme mental anguish
and torture and has been beittled in the
eyes Of her friends, relatives and neighbors
and held up to public Tidicule, scOrn and
contempt" She claims, therefore, to have
been damaged pecuniaTilY IN tile sum Of
$4,000. and for which she has asked judg-
Dent.
Mrs Fernell represents in her complaint
that on the 18th Of November, 1899, Nolan
promised to marry her on the 18th Of May,
1891, then that at MS request the ceremony
was postponed until about the 10TH of Sep
TENDER, then again until the month of jan
uary, 1892, and then until May, on the 4th
of which she defendant refused to marry
plaintiff and still refuses TO marry her, al
though requested by plaintiff to do So"

PETER WYNkNTS SHARE.


a
laHey's Estate.
The distribution Of the estate of Mary
Delaney presents a situation without known
precedent The legal solution Of it by Judge
Coffey will interest lawyers. Mrs. Delaney
was widow when she died in March, 1891,
leaving some valuable real estate in the
northwestern part of the city. Her next of
kin are Z. J. Delaney, son, Mrs Mary A.
McCurrie, the wife Of the well-known ex-
secretary OF the British Benevolent Society,
and a grandson, Peter P. Wynants, who has
a case submitted TO Judge Hunt for decision
and involving the very piece Of property in
question.
Mrs. Delaney bequeathed her property by
will 20 the son and daughter. without men
tlOning tie grandson, and appointed the son
executor. The estate IS ready for diStTibu-
ton, but the question is whether the grand
son has a distTbutary interest. There is
no disagreement as TO the law, which says
that when q person Omits TO provide in his
viii for any child or the issue OF deceased
child such child must be admitted to share
In the estate, unless it appears that the
omission was Intentional.
But the executor shows that long before
her death bis mother conveyed the valuable
| building lots on the northwest corner Of
jackson and OctaYia streets TO Wynants in
lieu OF all future share Ia her estate, ana
that he accepted it as such. Mrs. McCurrie
denies that this conveyance was In the ma
ture of an advancement or an HdenfptOn,
and Wynants, on the theory that be was
entitled to one-third of the estate, made a
conveyance in writing thereof to Mrs Nc
CurTie in November, and that lady now asks
that twU-thirds Of the estate be distributed
to her.
The executor, who holds that the grand
son cuts 10 figure has himself acquired the
valuable lot referred to by deed from the
grandson. OF Mrs. Delaney's estate there
have been two appraisements within u
months Of each other, but far apart in
figures. The appraisement Of June s, 1891.
was SD, 900 for the real estate, while that Of
April 30 1892 was $4,000.
