Since the construction of the City and
Suburban electric railway through this VIII
lage it has been necessary TO widen the
Baltimore and Washington turnpike at the
intersection of the above named road. In
order to do this strip of land claimed by
Mr. W. P Magruder will have to be utii-
lied and law suit is likely to result. A
survey made by County Surveyor Edward
Latimer it is said, showed that Mr.. Ma
gruder is occupying several feet of the
turnpike as originally constructed by the
turnpike company Mr.. Magruder claims
that the land on either side of the turn
pike in excess of a street thirty feet wide
as laid out by the commissioners of Hyatts-
ville reverted to the original land owners
when the turnpike company ceased to exist.
This is not admitted by the commissioners,
and consequently an Interesting legal con-
troversy is likely to result.

CAPTAIN KING.

Captain King came into prominence
with the creation of the Provisional
Government. From the date of his ap-
pointment to the day of his death he
remained in Office as Minister of the
Interior. His loyalty to the cause of
republicanism and annexation was I'M
questioned. He was a man Of strict
integrity, and utterly fearless in dis
charging his duty. During the few
occasions when there was serious
fear of general instruction, his cour-
age was clearly manifested. He was
not an aggressive man in his office.
The duties of the Interior Office were
not within the line of his experience
or education. He was called upon to
administer the affairs of the most i'm
portant office in the Republic, during
a transition period, and at time when
the indefinite policy of the Monarchy
was succeeded by the definite policy of
the Anglo-Saxon. He, with the other
members, of the Cabinet, was confront
ed with many perplexing questions.
His i'll health for several years pre-
vented him from attending to the
duties of the Office. His death will be
regretted by his many friends.
