ORPHANS COURT.

The Orphans Court for Cecil County was
ter OF the estate OF Richard l.. Thomas, Sr,
being up for consideration. The deceased
was well known merchant Of North East,
ana at one time "A Judge OF the Orphans
Court. He died IN 1888. leaving last will
and testament in which his son Richard H.,
was named as executor. In his will he
stipulated that ii his said son Richard l..
should desire to continue the mercantile
business he should be allowed to do do so bv
paying into testator's estate the sum Of -, 900
for the store property.
On June %. 1888. letters testamentary were
issued to the executor named and he gave
bond for $4,000, Nlessrs. Wm. T. Hammond.
Andrew Anderson, James Roney and John
IL. White becoming surety. In the executor :
first account he charges himself with assets
OF .1,Si9.47, and in second account with
T4.2l6.Sl assets. In his first account he
states that he took the store, lot and build
ing under the terms OF will at e, ,OOO
No distribution was ever made among the
heirs and at the death of the executor in
1898, letters Of administration d. b. II. c. t. a.
upon the estate OF r. l.. Thomas, ST.. were
granted to Sarah Il. H. Worrall, daughter
of the deceased testator. On May 25, 1899,
Philip A. Ricard took out letters Of admins
tration upon the estate OF Richard L,
Thomas, Jr.
On July 81 last Mrs. Sarah r. II. Worrall
through her attorney Wm. T. Warburton,
presented petition to the Orphans Court,
stating that there was balance of .4,2O7 &C
in the hands Of the executor Of r. L..
Thomas, Sr., and asking that an order be
passed directing the administrator of II. L..
Thomas, Jr., to deliver over to her the said
sum that it may be distributed to the legal
heirs OF the deceased testator The Court
passed the order as prayed and as the said
sum was not paid over Mrs. Worrall, the ad-
mnistratrix Of her father. on Saturday last
asked the Court to pass a further order
directing her to bring suit upon the bond of
Richard L. Thomas, Jr., to recover the
amount named above. The passage of this
order was resented by the bondsmen named
above, and in their petition presented to the
Court on Saturday last they claim that both
of the accounts passed by r. L. Thomas, Jr.,
in the estate OF his father, are false and con-
tain improper charges which are not assets
and for which the bondsmen should not be
hold liable They also pray the Orphans
Court to reopen and correct both OF the ac-
counts. The Court will sit October 10 for a
full hearing of the case. There are quite a
number of dinlcult law points in this case
and the bondsmen say they are determined
to fight it out. VIM. S. Evans is the attorney
for the bondsmen.
At its meeting on Saturday the Court
passed the first and final account of Araminta

The scene as Hon. George A. Pearre placed
Governor Lowndes in nomination was one of

ERECTING POLES,
Construction of the New Cecil County
Telephone System Being Showed Ahead


The Cecil Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany has had force OF twenty-five linemen
engaged this week erecting the poles for the
line in Elkton and at several points the
placing Of the large poles and the trimming
OF trees to prevent their Interference with
the wires has raised the ire of few citizens.
But progress is the order of the age and the
limb Of Il tree cannot be given precedence
over telephone. The company is giving
Elkton ilrst-class system-equa to that in
any city. The exchange is located in the
Payne building on East Main street, and
from where the several routes start. The
principal or main route through Elkton is
from the exchange down Main street to
North, out North to the Fair Grounds where
the lines run out to Cherry Hill, North East,
Rising Sun, Port Deposit, and other points in
this direction. The line to Chesapeake CITY
and points to the south in the county and
down the Peninsula, runs from the exchange
to pole on North street opposite DR.,
Cooper's Office and thence TO line OF poles
on the marsh to the iron bridge on Bridge
street. A third line in Elkton runs from the
exchange down Groome's lane to High
street, then out to Mill lane. then down Main
street.
The exchange at Elkton will be an i'm
portant point. The company is constructing
n complete system on the Maryland and Del
aware Peninsula, to connect with Whining
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and all the
large cities, and from which points all mes
sages will pass through the Elkton Exchange.
This will make ii necessary to keep ii neces-
sary to keep the exchange open botk day and
night, which advantage is considerable, in
case of fire, illness, burglary. etc.

Several negroes stoned train No. 6, north

reported to the head officials. Detective
William Jones, of Wilmington, was at once
notified to 20 to the scence. and he deputiZed

| arrived at Perryvillc shortly before o'clock,
| and at once began to make Il search through
the freight cars of southbound train which
had stopped to take water. The officers
finally found a car with five men therein,
four negroes and white man, and ordered
them to come out, at the same time Constable
Windish having his revolver pointed in the
air. The four negroes obeyed and jumped
| out on the side the officers were on. but the
white man jumped out on the opposite side.
Just at this juncture Windish fled his re-
vover, he says, only to scare the man, but
the ball passed through the car door and hit
the white man in the head near the temple.
Terraz fell to the ground, got up, staggered
across the northbound track and down the
bank, falling under a freight car that was
standing on the siding.
He was picked up by Thomas Chamber
lain, George Campbell and Charles Keesey,
Jr., and carried to the Perryvlle station
DR.. j. H. Cochran, of Havre de Grace, was
summoned, and after probing for the ball
which he could not find, stated that the
| wound would most likely prove fatal. The
unfortunate man was removed to the City
Hospital in Baltimore on the 5 .3i train, ac-
companied by DIR. Cochran.
The news spread like wild-nre as soon
| 1t became known who the unfortunate man
was, and much excitement prevailed in that
| vicinity, and the unwarranted shooting was
| vigorously denounced.
William Brooks, of Elkton; William Pitt, Of
Cokesbury, and Howard Birts, OF Philadel-
phia, were arrested on the charge Of tres
passing and brought to the Elkton jail by
Detective Jones and Constable Windish. The
latter officer gave himself up to Sheriff j.
Ross Conoly.
The operation of trephining upon Terraz
was performed by Professor Chambers, as
sisted by DR.. H. Westphal, of the City Hos
pital staff. He fingered until Wednesday
morning, when he died. His home is said
to be at 119 Perry street, Baltimore, where
his wife and three children reside. 1t is be-
lieved he was in the freight car for the pur-
pose Of stealing a ride to Baltimore. He was
