HON. JOHN B BROOKE.

On Tuesday the American printed a fine
likeness OF Judge Brooke, with the following
sketch of his life furnished by the Mari buro'
correspondent:
ssHon. Johu B. Brooke, associate Judge Of
the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Maryland, was
bern March 2, 1927. He resides at the home
where he was born, in Upper Marlboro.
The old homestead has given place to
urge handsome residence, and here the Judge
and his estimable wife pass their quiet hours.
He is the second eldest Of seven brothers, and
on the maternal side is related to the Carroll
family, of ST. Mary's county. In his boyhood
Judge Brooke entered Georgetown University.
a, d after successful course Of studies, grad
uated with tie honols Of his class. He i'm
me diateiy al Iled himself to the Study of law
uader the guidance of his father, John B.
Brooke, a wet-'lnown prat titoner in the
southern counties of Maryland, and finished
his legal s,ulies at Harvard University in
1916.
On his return to p ince Georges, not hav-
ing attained the age Of twenty one, he was
elected states attorney for his native county.
Here he was engaged until 1851, when, as an
independent Democrat, he was elected TO the
legislature, and continued to serve in that as
sembly for several Year.. II 1913, together
with Colonel Jenkins, Of Char IS county,
Judge Brooke was the first to urge the build
ing ct the present Baltimore and Potomac line
of railroad to some OH Give point IN South
ern Maryland on the Potomac River, and a
survey was made by private subscriptions,
AID but for the war the ttfbrts Of the gentle
men would have been successful. In 1o57,
as Democrat, he presented his county as
senator, and in 1860 he was president of that
DO ly.
When the legis AZURE, in lSGi, removed Leo
Frederick City, Judge Brooke was still presi

received the order of General George b.

In the Constitutional Convention of 1867

A NEW FIRM.

The finn of William Seemnller Il Co Auc
tioneers, No. II, South Charles Street, Corner
German Street, will be dissolved on November
lst, 1893.
A general auction and commission bust
ness will be conducted at the same place, un
der the firm name of Merry man d Pattison.
Mr.. Merryman having been partner in the
firm of VIM. Seemuller & Co. for more than
twelve years, and M. Pattlsou having been
engaged in the Auction Business for more than
twenty-three years Qately with Messrs. Tay

THREATENED WITH A FLOOD.

The waters of the Eastern Branch on Mon
day rushed through the village of B!adens-
burg at rate hardly 'qualed i'll the history
of he town. All the main streets were flood
ed and people moved their goods to places of
ftty. The water is backed up in the branch
below Badensburg and all means of getting
rid of the Surplus was stopped Comm lnicl-
ton between Hyattsville and Biadensburg
was cut off ana the mails had not been deliv-
cred for two days. The food of 1856 still
lies fresh in the memory of many villagers.
Al that time The water was as high as the sec
ond stories of many Of the houses and much
valuable property destroyed. They were
practically inundated for two days and nights.
The fear of some such a. OF r flod is keen
~ felt al this time and not few persons have
already provides. themselves with an extra
quantity of provisions and have removed their
household effects into the second and third
stories.
The body of an unknown colored man was
discovered about Lincoln Banks early Mon
day morning by two colore1 men from Blad-
ensburg. II is supposed he fell into the stream
near Hvattsville and was carried by the strong
current to the place where he was found.

Perhaps some of our readers would Ike to know
in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy i:
better than any other. We will tell you. Wher
this Remedy is taken soon a cold has been cor
tracted and before it has become settled in the
TEN, it will counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity and it is the only RENE
dy that will do this. 1t acts in perfect harmony
with nature in relieving the lungs, opening the Sc
cretions, liquefying the mucus and eau sing its ex-
pulson from the air cells Of the lungs and restoring
the system to a strong and healthy condition. No
other remedy in the market possesses these remark
able properties. No other will cure cold so quick
ly. For sale by John r. COale, Upper Marlboro,
