zation of the United Milk Producers Assoca-
ton are about perfected and it is expected that
within few days a new company will be
formed to continue the business, which is now
being conducted by the receivers. In Circuit

1000. The plans for reorganization, which
were suggested by Mr.. A. Y. Dolfield, have
been in the hands of Attorney Edward s.
Hines, who has been for some time past en-
gagged in an effort to consummate them in the
reorganization of the company.
Mr.. Hines said that the prospect of success
in that direction was brighter than ever before,
and that the stockholders had agreed to pay
the holders of unsecured claims so cents on
the dollar. Notes will be given them at 3d.
Co. 80 and 100 days. For the remainder of the
Indebtedness second mortgage bonds will be
issued. 1t was also stated that money neces-
sary to put the company on sound financial
basis had been promised on condition that GER

staff. These changes, it was said, will take
place in few days.

A Glance at Local Democratic Politics
What Mr.. Fendall Has to Say. The
Baltimore Neus of Saturday last said: 1.-THE
political pot in Baltimore county has begun to
boil for the fall election of 1901. Already a
number of candidates for Sheriff. Treasurer
and County Commissioner have been men
toned, and the race for office is expected to be
interesting as well as exciting. Democrats are
pronounced in their views regarding the future
of the party in the county, and as it appears
now, efforts are to be made to forestall the in
tentions of reputed leaders in the county to
have everything their own way. 1t is the
opinion of many Democrats in the county
tLat Mr.. J. Fred G. Talbot sbnnld he retired
permanently"
WHAT SOME OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.
The Towson reporter of the Baltimore
American, in Sundays edition of that paper,
said: Prominent Democrats in Baltimore
county deny that there is an effort to be made
to depose Hon. J. Fred G. Talbot as the leader
of his party in the county. Mr.. Charles e..
Fendall, who was delegate to the National
Democratic Convention, said while Mr..
the election returns indicate that his strength
is greater than that of any other Democratic
candidate for Congress in the State. He was
just barely defeated by the Republican tidal
wave which swept over the country. His
friends, who are the majority of the Demo-
Gratis of this county, are as loyal to him today
in the hour of his defeat as they would have
been had he been elected. l am fully con-
WINGED that Mr.. Talbot made as strong a run
as could have been made by any Democratic
candidate. doubt if anyone else could have
held the Democratic forces together so we'll as
he did"
Mr.. Fendall is true representative of the
'old guard" They may die, but never sur
render.

Contest Over an Estate.-On Thursday
the Orphans Court was occupied in hearing
the petition of John Conner to be reinstated
as administrator of the late Patrick Garvey,
who was well known salconkeeper of Can
ton, and who died without leaving will.
Garvey was a native of Ireland and had no
relatives in this country. 1t being reported
that the deceased had no relatives entitled to
inherit his property, Mr.. James ]. Lindsay,
counsel for the School Board, claimed the
estate for the use of the public schools of the
county. The Orphans Court thereupon re-
voked the letters of administration granted to
Common and appointed Mr. Lindsay and Mr..
VIM. H. Lawrence administrators of the estate.
Mr.. Conner claims that be has received mes
sage from the relatives of the deceased in
Ireland. The case was continued until next
Thursday.
The other lawyers engaged in the case, in
addition to Messrs. Lindsay and Lawrence, are
Messrs K. R. Boarman, John F. Centrum,
William T. Roberts and John S. Biddison.
Garvey's estate is supposed to be worth about
$1,000

Mr.. Blakeney and the Pony.-One day
at the late Timonium fair Mr.. A. A. Bakeney,
then the Republican nominee for Congress in
the Second district, saw Mr. William A. Lee,
of Towson, accompanied by his two little
daughters, admiring some ponies that were on
conversation with the children told them that
if be was elected to Congress be would give
them pony. The matter was laughed off at
the time, but the promise was not forgotten,
as the sequel shows. A few days after the
doubtless, the pony episode had entirely van
ished receiveda note written in childish hand,
reminding him of his promise at the fair and
telling him they would like to have it full
filled. 1t is hardly necessary to say the pony
will be forthcoming, but Papa Lee is not SO
delighted as one might imagine, because his
reply was, when he learned about the pony:
THAT'S all right, but who's going to buy the
cart and harness and feed the pony2"

night very large crowd of enthusiastic Re-
publicans assembled at Powhatan, Baltimore
county, and followed five large hay wagons,

and speeches made by Congressman-electA A.

Extending the Rural De1very.-Ine re-
cent extension of the system of rural free de-
livery of mail into the northwestern section of
Baltimore county has proven popular move
ment with the patrons of the new service, and
the Postoffice Department has been petitioned
to further extend the system by establishing
another route to cover a large section of the
9Th district 1t is suggested that the route
start at Hampstead, which is now the distrib-
uting point for three rural carriers, and run in
q southeasterly direction so as to include a
large number of the patrons OF the postotfces
at Black Rock, Mount Carmel, Berean, Butler
and Trenton. The section which would be
trayersed by such a route includes some of the
most progressive farmers of Baltimore county,
some of whom are so much interested in the
proposed route that they will visit Washington
and present the matter personally to the de-
partment if necessary to establishment. The
increase in the number of pieces of mail han
died by the Baltimore county carriers during
the four months of the service has been very
marked, especially in regard to newspapers.
He Was a Comaker of the Note.-In the
Court of Appeals on the 10th inst, Chief Judge
McSherry gave in opinion in the case of Gid
con 2. Hopkins and Lewis X. Wright VS..
Matte Adey ard others This is suit on a
promissory note executed by the appellants.
The appellants urge two defenses to the note.
Hopkins claims that he was an endorser ana
not liable, as the note was not protested. 1t is
also urged that the payee was business part
ner of Wright and the note was partnership
transaction. The Court of Appeals holds that
Hopkins was a comaker and that the note was
distinguished from partnership transaction.
1t therefore affirms the action of the court be-
low in giving judgment on the note.
Mrs. Adey, one ofthe defendants in this suit,
is the wife of Rev. Charles Adey, pastor of
Sater's Baptist Church.
Church Cornerstone Laying.--The cor
ner-stone of the new church being built by the

be completed near the beginning of the new
year.

Bad For the Growing Wheat.-Farmers
in some sections of Howard county are much
concerned over the present condition of their
wheat crops, the early seeding of which, they
believe, is already too much advanced for the
season. The grain which was seeded in Sep
has now commenced to joint and it is claimed
that it will be killed out entirely during the
winter frosts. The Oldest farmers say that
such condition as to the fall grain crops in
that locality has not existed within the past
fifty years.

An Excellent Thing to Teach the Chill

vember 10th. says: The teachers and the pu-
pills of the Ellicott City public schools have
this week completed the organization of

citzenship-an outgrowth, probably, of the
primal idea of Junior republics" So far as
possible the constitution of the School State

Maryland. A Governor, General Assembly,
a Board of Public Works. court, boards Of
public health and public order are the officers

legislative or judicial, being valid without
his sanction All officers are required TO be Of
high standing in scholarship and department"

How About One for Hartford ?-Under
this head the Belair Democrat of this week says:
1.-THE new road law for Baltimore county takes
effect December LIST and its working will be
watched with much interest. The County
Commissioners will appoint January LIST three
Road Commissioners for each district that has
three or more precincts, and two commission
ers for districts having less than three pre-
cincts. The Road Commissioners are appoin-
ted for two years. They are to receive $l25
year for their services and must give bond in
the sum of 81, 900 and pay taxes on at least

Handsome Church Dedicated. The new
Messiah Lutheran Church, on O'Donnell
street, Canton, was formally dedicated last
Sunday afternoon in the presence OF congre-
cation that filled every part of the pretty edi-
flee. The customary Sunday morning SER
vices were held in the church, but the real
interest of the congregation was conferred in
the dedicatory ceremonies.
Rev. Ephriam FELTON,, pastor of the church,
was assisted in the services by number of
clergymen. The sermon was delivered by
Rev. w. S. Freas, pastor of Grace English
Lutheran Church, Baltimore, who briefly
sketched the history of the old church, which
was built eleven years ago on land adjoining
the present site, but which, owing to the
steady growth of the congregation, became
inadequate for the purposes of the society.
The new edihce, he said, was testimonial of
the fiocks keen interest in its spiritual welfare
and he urged them to remain strong i'll the
faith and to persevere in their reverence for
God, so that at the lapse of another IL years
they may look back and compare their condi-
ton of that day with their status of today.
At the conclusion of the sermon the Rev.
H. H. Weber, secretary of the Board of Home
Missions of the Lutheran Church, made an
address, saying that the church had been
erected at an expense of $4,000, and that it
was now free of debt, with the exception of
few hundred dollars. He begged the cougre-
CATION to be generous when he passed around
the basket and, judging by the responses, he
must have realized large sum.
feature of the exercises was the music,
under the direction of Mrs. FELTON,, wife of the
pastor, and the organist, Miss Agnes Crise.
The platform was tastefully decorated with
plants and chrysanthemums.

London, March 21.-Interest in the
next move of Lord Roberts was quick
ened to-day by the receipt OF the fol-
lowing messaxe from Bloemfontein,
under to-day's date:
The B0erS have destroyed the rail-
way bridge and intrenched themselves
on the banks Of the Modder, fourteen
miles north OF here.
General Joubert is reported In CON-
mnnd."
This news came like n thunderbolt
from clear sky. for the meager dis
patches. sent by Lord Roberts had In
dicated that there were no Beers to
menace him In the vicinity of Bloem-
fonteln, and the public had settled
down to the comfortable belief that
there would be no opposition to
Roberts advance till he reaches the
first range OF mountains, about sixty
five miles north Of the Free State
capital.
All OF the dispatches from the front
Indicated u concentration OF Boer
commandoes ut kroonstadt, but with
Joubert mt the M0dder river 1t was In
stantly recognized that Roberts had
far more serious work ahead OF him
than any one had anticipated
Lord Roberts officially reported last
week that his scouts had secured the
country beyond the Moddcr and had
seen no traces OF Beers. but he has
been mute since saturday, and the
censor hns muzzled the correspondents.
Hence II is concluded that Roberts has
already begun an advance TO meet
these changed conditions.
