FREDERICK. Nd. February 26. 1888
There are likely 10 be further and more inter-
os;ing developments in the case of the Balti-
more fruit firm whose agent came to Frederick
few days ago and sold oranges and lemons to
the merchants here at a price much below the
ruling market rate. He took the money in
advance in most instances. and offered the frnit
at the remarkably low rate as an incentive to
the merchants to pay in advance. He also
offered them the privilege of buying twenty
boxes at the same rate, and then. after he had
collected three hundred dollars. hired
team from local livery and disappeared. The
firm which he represented yesterday. through
Vim. Z. Maulsby, jr.. of Frederick. as counsel,
entered suit against the merchants here who
had bought from their agent the object of the
litigation being to recover the difference be-
tween the cash price paid to their agent and the
ruling market rate. Owing to the number of
people involved in the case it is attracting a
great deal of attention.
Frederick has beeIgstartled by two attempts
recently at what appear to have been assassina-
ton. When Mr.. q. Frank Chujan, agent of the
American Light and Heat Company OF this city,
went to the companys works shortly after 10
o clock the other night to have the pressure
turned off some one sprang out upon him from
ambush near the gate and made a lunge at him
with dirk. The blade of the weapon slashed
across his stomach, cutting through his clothes
