Abel Pleads Guilty.

Stephen A. Abel, late census enumerator
for District III of St. Mary's county, Nd,
pleaded guilty Monday in the United States
Court, Baltimore, for violation o. the census
act of March 8. 1899. He was sentenced by
Judge Morris to pay fine OF $500, which
amount he paid.
With the exception of the case against Jo-
seph II. Ching, which is now pending before
the Supreme Court of the United States, this
practically disposes of the famous Southern
Maryland census trials.
Abel was first tried with Daniel j. Bowles
and Philip T. Graves, enumerators. and Jo-
seph H. Ching, attorney at-law, all of ST.
Mary's county, for conspiracy. Charles ii.
Guyther, an enumerator, had previously plead
ed guilty, and the jury found Ching guilty.
Abel, Bowles and Graves were found not
guilty. Guyther was fined 500, while B0wies
came into court subsequently ION June Is,
1901 and pleaded guilty TO violation of the
census act He was fined 5000 and sentenced
to 60 days in Jail. Graves was not tried
again. On June a. 1901, the Government
took up the second trial of Abel individually
for violation of the census act, but the jury
were unable to agree and were dismissed on
June 20, 1901.
Ching took an appeal to the Circuit Court
of Appeals, which affirmed the District Court 5
decision on NovemberS 8, 1902. The Govern
ment being sustained as to the legality of the
census act Mr.. John G. Rose United States
Attorney had Abel's case set down for trial
again on December II. Abel's decision not
to stand trial again thus saves him third trial.

An important Decision.

Tn the Court of Appeals, on Thursday,
.Judee Briscoe sustained the order OF the
Howard county court in the case of the New
York Security and Trust Company and John
w. Sterling, trustee, VS.. William DAVIS. OF
Marriottsvile This proceeding was instituted
in the Circuit Court of Howard county, sitting
in equity, to forecose mortgage dated March
10. 1871, to secure loan of $l1 600. and exc
cuted by William Davis and others, defend,
ants, to Caroline b. Parks, OF the State OF
New York, executrix of Charles E. Parks, the
predecessor in the trust, of the appellants.
The defendants answered the bill, and on the
goth of February, 1900, upon written assent
of the defendants, decree was passed direct
ing the mortgaged property 10 be sold and the
money from the sale be brought into court and
distributed under the direction of the court.
The property sold for $12 1850, and the sale
was ratified On September Is, 1902 The au.
dts were filed in the case. The first was
stated, according to the contention OF the APP
pelants, and showed a deficit of ", O23. 10
due the trustees, after applying proceeds OF
sale, etc. On May A. 1901. the appellee,
William Davis, filed exceptions to the first au-
dit. stating that the charge of interest at the
rate of per cent, as set forth in the mort
gage, is usurious, and having paid the above
rate of interest for 10 years he IS emitted to
have the payments made by him IN excess OF
the legal rate of interest according to the law
of Maryland The lower court sustained the
exceptions filed by the appellee and directed
a new account to be made, and the exceptions
to the second audit were overruled. The
Court of Appeals atfirms the order of the
lower court on the ground that court OF
equity will grant relief against the payment OF
usurious interest even after judgment. Messrs.
Bond & Parke, of Westminster, were attorneys
for MIR. Davis, and Messrs. Marbury and Nc
Lane for the Company.

$1,000 Notes for Christmas.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-I'hat the month of
Christmas joys-and troubles-is again here
became evident today to the teller of the
United States Sub Treasury by an application
for twenty-five crisp, new $1,000 bills, to be
used as Xmas presents by IA wealthy fnancier,
whose name was not given. The bills-all of
them yellow backed gold certifcates-were
counted off from package Of 500 new ones,
which is kept in a special box in the safe.
Every year about this time there comes a
heavy demand for new bills of all denomina-
tons, for new gold coins and new ''small
change" This year the demand is starting in
unusually early.
A $1,000 bill may seem good sized pres,
ent, but there are many milionaires who make
such presents to their trusted clerks or other
confidential employees.

Train Rolls Down Mountain.

CUMBERLAND, MD, Dec. 2.-The most dis
astrous freight wreck in the history OF the
West Virginia Central Railway occurred this
evening between Hendricks and Doug as on
the Grade which runs 1877 feet to the mile.
A freight train of "a cars going toward
Elkins got beyond control owing to the slip
perry rails caused by the freezing rain. The
entire train, running over mile minute,
toppled over the steep mountain side with the
engine, and was demolished.
Engineer John Jaukey, of Piedmont, was
killed, his body being buried under the debris,
and Brakeman A. Wolfe was hurt. Jaukey's
body at last reports had not been recovered.
1t is said the entire train is total loss, being
strewed along the base of the mountain: The
grade is one of the steepest of any road in the
country and the roar made by the runaway
train was heard for several miles.

"Seven Pounds Lighter Than a Straw
Hat"

The New York Evening Sun, Of Tuesday,
whose editor, Mr.. Paul Dana, was college
mate of Mr.. Roosevelt at Harvard, was very
severe on the message. 1t has been re-
puted recently that Mr.. Morgan's views are
reflected in the utterances of the Sun, and the
comment is. therefore, taken as Mr.. Morgan s
view on the message. The Sun says:
"A calm and careful reading OF President
Roosevelt's message can only excite IN the
breasts of his intelligent friends-those who
have loved and admired him in the pasta
feeling of pity Even his political beneficial
ries will strain their intelects in indorsng it.,
for, in the language of those strenuous people
before whom he loves to pose, II is seven
pounds lighter than a straw hat.
