A horse WAS stolen from the
stable OF G.. G.. Kirk of Nottingham,
Pa, on the night If March 18th.
Four days after, he horse was
traded to Dlvil {. Brown, who {
place is iu the Sth District near
Porter's Bridge. The original
owner traced the animal to Mr..
Browns and on Thursday morning
had a warrant for the recovery of
his property issued by Squire Tay-
lor of Rising Sun, which was serv-
ed by Constable Briscoe. Mr..
Browns wife had driven the horse
away that morning and had not re-
turned when the Constable served
the warrant.
The question arises in such cases
if the party who has been imposed
upon is a member of a Detective
Association, is the association
under obligation to make efforts
and search to recover the property
that the member has been defraud-
ed of by the thief who imposes
upon him a stolen horse. The case
is very nearly the same as if the
horse had been stolen from him
directly, in place of indirectly.

MISUNDERSTANDING the prayers
in the case of Dean VS.. p, w. & B.
Railroad Company took the greater
part of the session. The argument
on the case was commenced in the
afternoon and concluded at night
session. The jury retired and re-
manned out all night.
Friday.-The case of Messrs.
Earle and Cook, of Philadelphia,
assignees, VS.. the Singerly Pulp
and Paper Co., of Elkton, was COM
promised through the efforts of
Messrs. Preston and Marbury, of
Baltimore, and Writ, Warburton
and Constable, of Elkton, and the
Court will now appoint trustees to
sell the property. 1t was decided
that all cases now pending in court
shall be consolidated, and a decree
entered adjusting and declaring
the mortgage from VIM. M. Sin
gerly to the Fidelity Insurance,
Trust and Safe Deposit Co., assign
ed to Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, to
be valid first lien upon the prop
erty described in the mortgage.
The mortgage of Mrs. Robinson, a
sister of Mr.. Singerly, covers the
Providence mill property and is for
100000. There is a second mort
gage of $500, 900 on the plant, held
by the bond holders of the Chest
nut Street Trust and Savings Fund
Co. of Philadelphia, now in the
hands of a receiver.
The jury in the case of Dean VS..
r., w. q B. Railroad Company
came into Court and the counsel for
the plaintiff took non suit.
The Naudain will case that was
tried at the last term of court, but
upon which the jury failed to
agree, was called in the afternoon.
This is Il suit of Joseph G. Naudain
of Perryville, to break the will of
his wife, Mrs. Caroline G. Naudain
who died August 10, 1898. Mr..
Naudain asks that the will he set
aside on the ground of undue in
1uence and mental incapacity. He
is represented by Messrs. w. S.
Evans and Albert Constable, while
the will is defended by Messrs. j.
S. Writ and Austin Crothers.
The opening arguments were
made by Messrs. Constable and
Writ for their respective sides, and
the examination of witnesses for the
plaintiff began Saturday morning,
being concluded Tuesday, when
witnesses for the defence were
called. The evidence differs but
little from that at the previous
trial.

Late Saturday night a fight arose
between a crowd of negroes in that
section of Elkton known as Darkey-
town, in which John Bowser, a
young negro about 20 years of age,
was seriously stabbed with pair
of shears in the left breast, directly
over the heart. The point of the
shears penetrated his clothing and
struck a rib, glancing off enough to
miss his heart. He bled profusely.
Frank Cooper, a young negro who
has been giving the authorities no
little trouble of late, was arrested
and lodged in the Elkton jail. 1t
appears that there has been bad
blood between the two for some
time past.

of Clinton w. Purner, in Elk Neck,
caught fire at an early hour Sunday

together with all the household
furniture. Mr.. Purner and his

awakened until after the fire had
gained much Roadway, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that
they were saved. He and his wife

The Tyson Fortune.

The Tyson family of Cecil county
is one of the many who may reap a
golden harvest through the recent
death in A ustralia of James Tyson,
who, dying intestate, left 100000, :
600, to be divided among his heirs
which are not named in his will,
and $4,000 900 to the government.
Many stories are told concerning
the wealth of James Tyson, which
was accumulated from a capital
of $24, with which he began
business in 1855, dealing principally
in sheep and cattle. At the time
of his death his income had reached
the enormous sum of IS, 900.
There are many Tysons in Cecil
county, and are all undoubtedly of
the same family. They were orig
inally Hollanders. One branch
settled in England and another in
France. OF this branch Ryneer
Tyson was the head, and it is from
him that James Tyson is descended.
None of the TysOns ever became
famous for their great wealth, with
the exception of the Tysons of Ba,-
timore, who attained mucn prom
inence in the Monumental City.
This family, us well as the one that
settled two miles north of Elkton,
are thought to be lineal descendants
of the deceased.-Bal Herald.

A Slight Fire.

The little portable fire eXtin-

supplied, again gave good account
of themselves last Friday afternoon.
About half past three smoke and
flames were seen issuing from the
Mcclure tin shop on Main st. An
alarm was raised and within IA very
few minutes a strong force was on
the spot with II or 10 extinguish-
ers. The inside of the shop was
. a mass of smoke and flame which
was pouring from the closet under
the steps leading to the second
floor. One after another the ex-
tinguishers were brought into play
and by chopping through the steps
and the sheathing on the side next
to kirscht's the streams were pour
ed directly on the bnring wood.
work. After several minutes hard
fighting the flames were extin-
gaished. The fire is supposed to
have tarted by w. L. Mcclure
stepping on a match while coming
down the steps about an hour be
fore, and a piece of the ignited
head falling through crack in the
steps to some litter in the closet
underneath. The loss on the
building and contents is estimated
at $l33, insured in the Citizens
