DISCARDED BY THREE STATES.
The Original No Mans Land Lay Between
Maryland and Delaware.

Maryland and Delaware.
When one speaks to you of No Mans
land, don't be so sure that he means to
refer you to that strip of sand prairie
at the far end of the Indian territory,
otherwise ''the Panhandle" The or
iginal No Mans land is little tongue
of real estate extending few miles
south of the Mason and Dixon line, be-
tween the states of Maryland and Del
aware. Occasionally some one starts
the story that the aforementioned
tract is, properly speaking, part of
no state-that it is scrap or leftover
piece of the United States where no
one owns the land upon which he re-
sides. On the maps the land is usually
accredited to the state of Pennsylva-
MIA, but high legal authority says that
the claim is very vague and shadowy.
This triangular bit of territory was
marked off in curious manner, as re-
lated by the Philadelphia Press. The
eastern boundary of Maryland was
early determined, but the southern
boundary of Pennsylvania was long a
matter of dispute. Finally Mason and
Dixon began their survey, starting at
the eastern boundary of Maryland,
proceeding westward. At the same
time the northern boundary of Della
ware was declared to be semicircle,
the center of which was New Castle.
In surveying this semicircle it was
found that the circumference did not
touch the boundary of Maryland at it's
junction with the Pennsylvania line.
Thus this three-cornered bit of land
was actually left over, discarded by
three states and finally attached to
Pennsylvania for judicial purposes.

TELLS ITS OWN TALE.

TELLS IFS OWN TALE.
The Gazette still calls for new gov.
ernor, insisting as a preliminary step,
of course, that Governor Hughes be re-
moved, the act of decapitatation to take
place at such time as will best suit the
paper in question. As Republican
newspaper we have no desire to enter
into dispute, in which, as it appears
to those who view the matter from the
surface, Democrats are engaged in the
congenial task of demonstrating to out
siders their fraternal love. But every
journal owes duty to the community,
and when an attack is made on an ex-
ecutive whose most heinious ofense ap-
pears to be determination to admin
lister the affairs of the territory for the
welfare of the territory. then not only in
the interests Of the people. but
as matter of common just
Ice, it should speak out. And
the duty becomes the more pleas
ant when brother of the journalistic
craft is the object of the attack.
Only three or four days ago we
showed how prompt had been the re-
spouse of the press of the territory to
the first call of the organ to which
reference has been made. Nearly every
paper in the territory declared in un-
mistakable terms that the support
which had been given to Governor
Hughes when seeking the Office to
which he has done honor since his Sc
lection to fill it was still his, and con-
demned with emphatic .unanimity the
attacks which have been made upon
him. u
Though the bulk of the editorial
columns of yesterdays Gazette was
devoted to the now we'll worn theme of
the governors removal, not one word
was said which justities, or attempts to
justify, the assertions of which the
public has grown weary. We do not
wish to discuss the alleged attempted
arrangement of Governor Hughes with
Mark Smith previous to his appoint
ment. The matter is one which has
little interest for any. One thing
which would appear to be evident is
this: none but the governor seems to
have had much to say in the choosing of
the territorial officers. Perhaps this is
one reason why the Gazette exhibits at
this moment, when the governor is at
Washington pushing the interests of
the territory, so bitter a spirit.
When statehood comes, and when
the Republicans are in power, we will
have something to say in the cholc9 of
new governor. Till that time, how
ever, we are entirely satisfied with
Governor Hughes and he shall have our
support because every worthy journal
should:always be found supporting the
government. In this we feel we voice
the sentiments of the people who are
not to be led astray by allegations,
whose origin must be clear to those who
have followed the events in the terri
tory for the past couple OF weeks. The
fact that there is very little opposition
to the present governor and that this
opposition is due to we'll understood
motives tells its own tale.
Governor Hughes will serve until he
is succeeded by Republican.

| Last Wednesday evening. between and 3
O'Clock. Rev. S. w. Meek. Pastor of the Congre-
gational Church. was returning with his wife
| from a drive to Maple Grove Cemetery, and just
as they were starting on the steep descent lead
ing to the parson age stables. one of the quarter
straps broke. letting he carriage onto the horse
high.spirited animal of nervous temperament.
| In moment the equine was beyond control. and
started on furious run. headed directly for tn Q
barn. but few rods distant. through the open
| doorway of which he passed at fearful speed.
When the forward wheel of the conveyance
struck the high built barn floor. the vehicle was
violently careened to the right. hurling both oc-
cupants to the ground. just outside tho building 6
entrance. The ereverend gentleman escaped with
some severe bruises and wrenches. but M RS.
Meek was distressngly injured. She fell onto
some broken tile and her husband was precipi-
tated in such a manner as to throw him on to her
with the full momentum OF his fall. Fortunate
ly medical assistance was quickly available and
the sufferer conveyed to the house. 1t was
found on examination. that one right and two
left ribs were broken. and that the unfortunate
lady had sustained severe internal injuries. At
first it was hoped and believed that nothing
would develop to justify absolute alarm or un-
certainty beyond the unforeseen emergencies
more or less remotely possible in any similar case.
But at this writing we are informed she is in a
very critical state. although more favorable
symptoms are manifest over those of Saturday.
when the worst results were feared.
We learn this wednesday, morning that she
passed a very restful night.an thereis apparent
justification for a more hopeful view of her con.
dition. She is still in critical condition. how
ever.
