An Amicable Division.

The large estate of the late Thomas
Johnson, situated in both Garrett and
Allegany counties, has been recently
divided between the heirs by an ami
cable, satisfactory agreement among
themselves. By it's terms
Thomas Johnson takes the home
farm and improvements in Garrett
county, the farm containing about
400 acres, mainly cleared land and
under profitable cultivation.
Samuel and Charles johnson and
Mrs. Carrie q. Coulehan take jointly
the undivided residue of the Garrett
county real estate, ZOO acres. mostly
cleared, and improvements, the tim
bered portion, however, of the land
being valuably stocked.
Joshau johnson takes all the real
estate in Frostburg, consisting of
planing-mill plant, dwellings, etc.
The division of this large estate was
for long time considerable prob
lem to the heirs, owing to the diversi-
ties of area and value. 1t is, there
fore, highly creditable to each and all
that they succeeded so well in adjust
ing their several interests without a
sale or intervention of outside aid

Harrisburg, Pa, June 14.-For the
first time in many years, the Democra-
cy enters upon the state campaign as
sured of success for at least portion
of it's ticket. This is due to conditions
governing the election Of two supreme
court judges next November to fill the
places Of Judge Williams and the re-
tirement of another judge next Janu-
ary. No elector is entitled to vote for
more than one candidate, and as there
are two to be elected, each party will
get one. Ex-Congressman Simon P.

Smith, of Scranton, are the leading can
didates. The selection of candidates for
state treasurer and superior court judge
and the making of platform have
been almost lost sight of in the struggle
for the supreme court judgeship. All
indications point to two days conven-
