worth of cent and 2.cent postage
stamps in his possession, had a
preliminary hearing before Com
missioner Rogers Tuesday on the
charge of receiving the stamps
knowing them to belong to, the
Government. He was identified
before the Commissioner as Chas.
r. French, a resident of Houston.
Va. The testimony also showed
that the postofiice at Houston was
destroyed hy fire On February 26.
FrencIl's sister-in-law, a Miss Ed
mondson, is the posumistress, and
his wife has been in charge of the
Office at times. He himself had
formerly been assistant postmaster.
French told a number of con
fiicting stories and he was COM
mitted to Jail for the action of the
U. S. grand jury. The story that
he finally told was that he bought
the stamps for $3.50 from a man he
did not know, but whom he met on
a train from Philada. to Baltimore.
There are 18,400 2,cent stamps
and 2S,2O0~ 1-cent stamps in the

It is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany IN. w
dairyman called at drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him 10 come at
once on his return. He also bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor need
not come, as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto School, says the
family has since recommended Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy to their neigh
bors and friends until he has constant
demand for it from that part of the coun-
try. For sale Sby Eli 7. Reynolds,

providing for the election of a

to original writs; amending the
charter of Rising Sun, North East
& Elk River Electric Railway Co.;
incorporating Elder Park Associa-
ton of Elkton; amending the local
laws relating to bills of exchange
and promissory notes.
Senator Crothers has introduced
a bill to provide for the employ
ment of prisoners in the House of
Correction aud in the county jails
in the preparation of materials for
county roads.
The details of the bill are not
given in the newspaper reports of
proceedings. How best to accom-
modate Jail prisoners is knotty
problem and hard to solve.
The Senator has also introduced
bill which relates to using broad
tired wheels on heavy wagons,
which would go long way toward
the improvement of roads, if such a
law could be rigidly enforced.

PETIT JURY.
GRAND JURY.

The case of Abraham w. Kirk
VS.. the County Commissioners OF
Cecil county was placed on trial.
The County Commissioners passed
an order opening a new road
through lands of Kirk and others.
Kirk took the case to court. On
Wednesday the case came to a
close, the jury being instructed to
fad a verdict for the plaintiff on
the ground that the proper notice
of the opening of the road had not
been given by the Commissioners.
The Pritchard will case, which
was decided two years ago in favor
of the plaintiff, John Pritchard,
the will being set aside on the
ground that it was made under
undue influence, is again before the
public. The property in Cecil
county and in Wilmington, DEL.
was willed TO Henry Henderson,
and the question before the court
is whether or not the will can be
established in Delaware so far as il
passes real estate in Delaware not
withstanding the proceedings had
in the Maryland court. The case
will likely occupy the attention OF
the court for several days.
The grand jury was discharged
Wednesday afternoon. They found
true bills against James Samuels,
colored, for larceny; William Free,
man, colored, for stealing a horse
from Jesse Stevenson; David Glass,
colored, for carrying concealed
weapons.
Judge Martin dismissed until the
September term all witnesses in the
criminal case of VIM. I'll. Abrahams
