They Want a "Y.'

Arthur Carr has sold to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company two large
lots of ground. The company desires to Sc
cure a third lot near its present station in
Evansville for the purpose of construct
ing "Y'' for its own use and that OF the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company. 1t
is understood that work on the proposed
improvement would be begun at once but
for the fact that there is an indisposition
on the part of the owners of the third lot
to Part with it for the price offered.
1t is expected that condemnation pro-
ceedings will have to be rcsorted to IN
order to obtain the lot.
At the present time the operations OF
the Chesa PC Ike Beach road are, it is said,
much hamrered because of the absence OF
a "Y'' There has been an impression
that the Chesapeake Beach Railroad Com
pany would eventually erect machine
shops there, but it is understood they have
made an arrangement with the Baltimore
Id Ohio people to have repairs to their
equipment made at the shops of the former

Drum Point Telephone.

Stockholders of the Baltimore, Annapo-
lis and Drum Point Telephone Company
received the following letter M onday from
a committee of the board of directors, con-
sisting of William G. Eliason, John Wilson
Brown, Henry NJ. Murray and Frank r.
Biedler:
For some time past the officers and di-
rectors of the company have been much
exercised as to securing sufficient capital
to complete the line to Baltimore city,
without which it obviously could not he
operated at profit. All efforts in this
direction having failed, we began negotia-
tions with the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company with view to Undue
ing that company to buy our property.
After considerable negotiation, We finally
have succeeded in securing from them an
offer to pay us for the property 81 800.
Out of this sum the company's debts will
first have to be paid After these pay
ments are made there will remain enough
to enable the stockholders of the company
to get back very nearly par for their stock,
certainly within 10 per cent. of it.
ut is to be condition of the sale that
, tie Che apeake and Potomac Telephone
Company will continue to operate the lines
of this company, so that the principal OBJ
ject that most of the stockholders had in
subscribing to the stock, namely, to secure
telephone communication with Southern
Maryland, will be realized The superior
facilities of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company over those which
could possibly be at the command of a
small, independent company will make
the service that it, will be able to render
far more valuable
Alta meeting of the board Of directors,
held the other~day, every member present
was in favor of making the sale on the
terms mentioned. If the stock is all
turned in under the terms of agreement
the transfer can be made with minimum
of legal expenditure and cost.
IF any appreciable portion of the stock
remains outstanding it will be necessary
for this company to go into liquidation
with all its attending costs and risks.
As time is the essence of Importance
you will please forward Immediately your
stock to this office, properly endorsed fol
transfer. Upon its receipt and the com
pletion of the details of the negotiation
you will receive check for THE amount
coming to you and which, as before said
will not be less than 80 cents on the dollar
of the par value of your stock"

fore her brother Charles-a young man of
much promise. 1t had been hoped that
his splendid constitution would enable
him to win in a strong mans desperate
struggle with death, but the power of the
disease could not be stayed. and before
the flowers on his sisters grave were
faded his body also was laid to rest He
was taken away in early manhood, but he
had done life's work faithfully and he
rests well.
Mrs Elizabeth Curtin, the devoted
grandmother, did not long survive the
shock of the death of her grandchildren.
Mr.. Curtin was greatly Frustrated by
the death Of his children and died before
knowing of the death Of his mother, to
whom he was tenderiy devoted.
Mr.. Curtin was most industrious, hon
est and honorable man. he was held in
high regard throughout the neighborhood,
having also the sincere affection of many
friends. Kind and affectionate in his
home he will be sorely missed by his
widow and children, who have the warm
sympathy of many friends i'll the great and
sudden sorrows that have come to them.
