John Wallace Anderson, aged thirty six
years, son of the late Chas H. Anderson, of
Wheaton, died at his residence, near Ken
sington, on Tuesday of last week. The
family of which the deceased was member
has been identified with this county for
many generations, and the name figures
largely in the early history of Maryland.
His death resulted from typhoid fever, after
an illness of three weeks. He leaves
widow, who is the daughter of the late
Maurice NJ. Scott, of Texas, having been
married in October last.
A tournament was held at Colesville on
Friday of last week which was largely at
tended. The tournament commenced at 2
o'clock, and was very interesting. Ten
knights took part in the contest, the success
full ones being Carroll Bell, who won first
prize, and crowned Miss Rose Beck with as
queen of love and beauty; Arthur Sullivan,
second, crowning Miss Price first maid of
honor; Oscar Peters, third, browning Miss
Alice Price second maid of honor, and
Samuel Mullican, fourth, crownng Miss
Mullican as third maid of honor. The other
contestants:we George Mullican, Thomas
Mullican, Charles Gates, Ollie Herbertson,
Lawrence Kemp and d. Barnes Mr.. Chas.
A. Eccleston delivered an address to the
knights. A game of base ball succeeded
the tournament. 1t was played between
the Colesville and White Oak teams, the
score being tie-seven each.
1t is now pretty definitely settled that
Kensington will have another means of
rapid transit to Washington before the year
is out. The grading for the Brightwood
electric road extension has already been
completed TO within mile Of Forest Glen.
Surveyors were in Kensington during the
past week locating the line of proposed
extension from Forest Glen to that place.
1t is understood that the right of way has
been granted through the properties of 0.
r. Harr, Alex M. Proctor, August Burg
dorf and VIM. FL. Mannakee, lying on the
north side of the B. 6 o. tracks, which the
new line will parallel. There has been con-
siderable agitation lately of the project to
continue the electric line to Rockville, while
the residents of Lay Hill and Sandy Spring
are considering propositions which will give
them much needed outlet to the city. For
the present. however, Kensington is to be
the terminus of the new line. Two fares
are to be charged, which, with transfer
system on the 9th street and Columbia roads,
will put transient passengers from Kensing
ton to any part of Washington and return
for 90 cents, with reduced rates to com
mnters.
