The Rev. Isaac l.. Wood has just finished a
successful pastorate of three years at the

sermon at Middletown, Del, his new appoint-
ment on Sunday last.
Mr. Wood did not come to the EIkton
church an entire stranger, having been trans
ferred here from Zion and st. Johns in this
county. During his residence in Elkton, Mr.
Wood did much for the building up of the
church and the extension Of its usefulness:
and especially among the young people was
he popular and an earnest worker in their
church societies. Mr.. Wood is an exponent
of practical Christianity Christianity that
raises man, instead Of advancing theories for
his uplifting 10y some other influence. He has
attained reputation as an able minister and
popular pastor and received very nattering
call from the First NJ. L. Church of Chambers
burg, Pa, but could not accept owing to his
inability to secure IA transfer TO that con-
ference His family leaves Elkton with the
highest est, en- and best wishes of all-and
Mr.. Woods pastorate at Middetown has
every promise of deserved success. I he
Middletown church is to be congratulated.

COOPER ESTATE LIABLE,
For the Rent Of the Building, Occupied by

Judge Frederick stump gave IA decision on
Monday. in the chanrery case of Howard
Body vs.. Charles A. Cooper, infant son Of
Charles A. Cooper, deceased. formerly of
Cecil county.
Tn" case was the outcome Of busin fs
venture in which the late Mr.. Cooper engaged
in Philadelphia, shortly after leaving this
county, and i'll which it is claimed he los,
considerable money.
Bodey brought suit to recover frcm the
Cooper estate the amount Of @2l60 vet due
on purchase. and 5l7s3 fcr the lease of
property. Judge Stump allowed the claim
for Sl7S3 but rejected the former claims Of
-. lG0, alleged to be due on the purchase.
As previously published in the WING, Mr..
Cooper saw an advertisement in the Philadel-
phia LcdJcJ, in 1889, in which a party having
the selling agency for "A patent toy desired
partner to engage in the business of placing
in on the market their territory being the
United States. He answered the advertise
ment-the place of business being S12 Walnut
street. The advertiser was a certain William
II. Weston. Mr.. Weston stated to Mr.. Cooper
that his business was to place on the market
"A novelty toy or device for teaching children
spelling, and that he had the territorial right
for the entire United States. model of the
toy showed il TO be on the style of Il cash reg
ister You struck certain letters to form Ger
tain words, and as they are struck they fly up
into line, and the word there appears before
the child. The device also had IL roll dis
playing pictures of certain objects, which is
wound and unwound.
Mr.. Weston offered Mr.. Cooper half inter-
est in his territorial right for $4,000 which
offer was accepted.
The manufactures and patentee Of the toy
was Howard Bodey, whose factory was
located at 1877 Locust street In 1891 Cooper
in connection with Weston and IA Mr.. Kent
organized the KindergG rten Novelty Com
pany Limited, paid up capital of $1,000 and
bought the Locust street plant from Bodey.
Cooper seems to have been the only monied
man and put up all the capital, which the
firm actually had, excepting 500 supplied by
Kent. 1t is claimed that Cooper put into the
firm in all about $500.
Mr.. Cooper died in March, 1891. The busi-
had proved dismal failure. The accounts
of the firm showed that the total receipts
from the sale of toy amounted to S66s.
Others had lost in the enterprise before
Cooper entered it. The plant was sold at
sherifrs sale, and was bought by Bodey for
1899.
IL. NJ. Mccullough, ESD, counsel for
Bodey, claimed that when the company was
organized the capital stock was not paid up
and that Cooper contributed 1850 in cash and
31036 in property, his subscription being
"a, 800. And it was claimed that his personal
estate was liable for the debts of the corpora
ton, his partners Weston and Kent being
insolvent.
William S. Evans. Esq, counsel for the
Cooper estate, claimed that Cooper was
defrauded and led into business venture by
Weston who had been engaged in business
with Bodey for some years, and that the
amount paid Bodey for the plant was fabu'
lous and out of all reason. 1t was argued

Reduction in Telephone Rates.

After July l. the Cecil Telephone and Tele-
graph Company will reduce the yearly rental
oGtelephones in and within IL mile of Elkton,
to $50 for business places and $50 for RES
dences. The present rates are S36 and $50.
These are the celebrated bell Instruments.
The company has about decided to build Il
line from Elkton to the Delaware State line,
there to join with the Delaware and Atlantic
Telephone Company, which would give the
town connection with Newark, Wilmington,
Philadelphia, New York and other places.
The exchange now in the Gilpin building,
North and High streets, will be moved to the
tore of G. Il. Maxwell, at High and Bridge
-treets, about May lst. The lines throughout
the county are being repaired and put in
good order.
The old subscribers get the benefit OF the
rrIuction ON July /. There are now forty
tH.ephones in the county-the lines running
