COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS.
A BOGUS SILVER COIN IS NOW
BEING CIRCULATED.
Three Men From The Iron Hill Race
Track Who Attempted 10 Pass
Them We're Arrested.

The deceitful counterfeit silver dollar which
has been circulating so freely # late around
Elkton, decriviuS the business pr"pe gen
orally OF tn" town, ut first, have nj last be-
come so generally known. that they are be-
ing detected now in almost every case by
those to whom they are offered.
The people OF Elkton now whrn you offer
them silver dollar first look ut IL carefully,
then hear how it rings, feel its weight, or bite
genuine doIsr before they accept it. The
business office Of the CECIL WING" has been
victimized unintentionaly of course, twice
and, like the other E,ktouians, is hard
to fool again. The banks here state that the
coin is in evi ienGe to wide extent, and the
government secret service has taken :Ae mat
ter up. The government has been in cores
pondence for some time with the Elkton
banks, over the matter.
John Roney. Patrick Hoban and Frank
Ingram, three men from the race track at
Iron Hill, were arrested early on Wedu esday
morning in Wilmington charged with passing
counterfeit silver dollars. The men. it is
S'fiS' uAhOtliPiVN w ptSS IL Iut'i tOlu PI
John McN"al. who keeps Il restaurant on
Front street, near French. They failed at
the restaurant, but, it is said, that latcr they
succeeded ic passing Il spurious dollar on the
Italian bootback i'll the Merritt House.
They were arranged in the City Court, but
were immediately turned over to United
States Marshal Short.
Shortly before noon they we're arraigned
before United States Commissioner S. Rod
mond Smith aud the examination was con-
Quoted by United States District Attorney L.
C. VandeSrift.
Roney said he and his companions had
received three Of the dollars from the Iron
Hill rnca track, where they had been en-
pIoyed.
Roney said he was not aware that the
money was counterfeit.
Ingram said the three dollars had been
paid to him by bookmaker and he had d-
yid"d it between them. One OF the dollars
had been paid at the station at Iron Hill and
the third was in Ingram's possession and was
taken charge of by the marshal. The one
found on Ingram was good.
Hoban corroborated Ingram's testimony
All were discharged. There was no evil
d"nce against Roney or Ingram, and there
was no proof Of criminal intent on the part of
Roney.
Commissioner Smith warned the men and
expressed hope that the person who origi-
nally passed the money might be punished.
II il very evident from what has heep
learned since the arrest OF the three men, that
somebody has been circulating spurious coin
at the Iron Hill race track.

Gently illustrated Christmas number in the
shape of an industrial edition embelshed by
well executed half-tone cuts OF large num-
ber of Elkton's progressive business men and

the many advantages of the county capital as

VICTIM OF TRAMPS.
A Baltimorean Assaulted by Tramps and
Thrown From a Freight Car.

Chief OF Police Biddle Mt late hour on
Saturday night discovered man walking as
though dazed in the neighborhood of the
Elkton depot. He took the man who ur-
peared 10 be suffering to the jail, where he
was cared for and DR.. lamar, the Jail physi
clan. summoned. The mans clothing was
dripping wet and muddy. and his body
bruised and cut, while the phyician's examin-
alton proved the fact that his collar bone
was fractured. He gave his name as John
EnGle, OF Baltimore, and stated that being
out Of work he had gone to Philadelphia. in
search Of employment as II painter and
decorator. Finding nothing to do there, he
came to Havre de Grace where he was also
unsuccessu ul, and then jumped into II freight
car intending to 90 back to Philadelphia.
There were several tramps ia the car, who
he states set upon him and he remembers
nothing further after crossing the bridge
over the Susquehanna river.
He claims that he was well dressed when
he entered the car but his clothes were taken
from him and other clothes substituted. The
>upposition is that after the tramps beat and
robbed their man he was thrown out of the
car while the train was in motion at the
Little Elk bridge just west of Ekton.
Engle is about thirty-two years of age, and
is painter and decorator. He says his
mother and two children reside at the corner
OF Gold and Carey streets, Baltimore, his wife
being dead. DR.. lamar has written to his
mother at his request

the sterling worth and high attainments of
the late State Senator. The committee upon

Charles Carroll Crothers was born in Cecil

in 1879 when he had just reached his ma
Jority, and continued in active practice until
the time of his DEATH September 2S, 1897.
Endowed with strong natural gifts OF intellect
he soon attained prominent position in his
profession, and was recognized at the time Of
his death as II lawyer of force and ability not
only in his native county but throughout the
State.
Although cut off by death in the prime of q
splendid manhood, he had achieved distinc-
tion in the public service. From 1879 to 1888
he was States Attorney of Cecil county and
| represented this county in the State Senate
from 1893 to 1897. and filled both positions
with ability and fidelity
In 1895 at the early age of 80 his ability as
lawyer and public servant was so we'll
recognized that he was selected as the candi-
date of the Democratic party for the honor
able position OF Attorney General of the
State.
We, his brethren who survive him, express
our sincere regret that in the death of our
brother the State has lost an eminent citizen,
the Bar an able lawyer. and the community
one who commanded the respect of all. while
he was endeared to many by his admirable
traits OF character. JOHN S. WRIT,

A HUSBANDS TROUBLE.
A WllmingtOnian, Deserted by His Wife,

F. II. Joseph, of Wilmington, walked into
the Clerk of the Courts office. in Elkton, on
Wednesday morning, and asked to look over
the record of marriage licenses issued at the
office. for the past ten years. His wish was
complied with. and his aim in coming seemed d
to have been accomplished when it was
shown by the record that marriage license
had been issued in 1887 to Daniel W. Neal
and Ella Morris, of Principle Furnace, and
where the marriage took place. Mr. Joseph
then stated that he had married the same
Ella Morris three years ago, and that he had
been deserted by her last July, she having
gone to Philadelphia, and where to the best
of his knowledge she now lived. He claimed
also that Daniel w. Neal, is still alive, and
that the woman now has two husbands living.
1t was learned that in 1891 Neal had sued for
a divorce from Ella Morris. and papers to
which effect are on file at the Clerks Office,
but the divorce had never been granted,
although the couple had separated previous
to the suing for divorce. If Neal is alive. as
1t is stated, this is case worthy Of the

TOME INSTITUTE.
Grand Observance of Christmas Tide
There.

Special to CECIL WING.
PoRT DEPOSIT Dec. "a. 1897.
As the Christmas tide approached, the
faculty of tha Tome Institute. with its be-
loved patroness, Mrs. Jacob Tome at their
head. began preparations to give the pupils
II good time as foretastc Of the good things
they would have in the holiday season. On
Tuesday morning luncheon was served to
the parents and few invited guests in the
cooking department. The older girls in
their white caps and aprons made pretty
picture as they fitted from one to another
with the dainty dishes they had prepared
under the supervision of their teacher, Miss
Eayre
large, dignifed lady in cap and apron
approached a stranger and in her sweet
gracious manner began explaining the work
inrs OF this department. called "domestic
art" As she left he turned to one standing
near and asked as that the chief cook?" and
when his listener said "that is Mrs. Tome" :"
he was overwhelmed with surprise and con
fusion. Had he known, as we all do, the
love this noble woman has for the institu-
ton, how it lies on her heart at all times,
how anxious she is to be in close touch with
teacher and pupil. he would not have been
surprised. May her Christmas-tide be bright
and may she live many, many years to crown
this glorious work with her presence is the
prayer Of this community.
In the afternoon the primary department
held its exercises, and the little ones went
home carrying their sweets at night. The
high and grammar schools gave very de-
lightful program, and all who could were
present to enjoy it.
As the boys and young men crowded up
the street, what tramping of feet and what
shout came from those lusty lungs us they
gave their yels, and instead of ending as
usual with ~. T. I.-Rah-R Rah-Rah" 1t
was Eveland-Eveland- Rah-Rah- Rah!h
Again and again it rang out and eliminated
in roar as they came in front of his home.
May Gods choicest blessings rest on this
man who is loved and revered by teachers,
pupils, friends and all. May the founder OF
this grand institution live to see his work
grow until the d. sire of his heart, namely to
see 1000 pupils going in its doors, has been
realized.

VICIOUS BULL.
Farmer Ellison Has Thrilling Exper-
fence on His Farm, Second District.

Clayton Ellison, a weII-know farmer of the
Second district had IL thrilling experience
with bull on his place several days ago.
The animal had been deh0rned, and although
of vicious nature was not regarded as dan
gerous, but the violence of the bull was
shown, when it attacked Mr. Ellison without
a minutes warning, and hurled him violently
to the ground. He had pitchfork in his
hand, and with which he tried to defend him
self. But this only increased the animals
fury, and with another charge it dashed the
fork from Mr.. Ellisons hands. In his effort
to escape Mr.. Ellison was knocked down
three times, and when almost prostrated he
succeeded in reaching a tree which he
climbed, and remained there until assistance
came. The bull as stated above was dehorned
otherwise Mr.. Ellison would have lost his
life.
