months ago, has sued the Baltimore & Potomac

torneys are Messrs. NJ W. Offutt and D. G..
| Mcintosh.
- Pleasant Plains road, which extends
! from the Joppa road at Baynesville 70 the Hill
! len road, is in a wretched condition. 1t is
badly washed in places and the surface is full
of loose stones. Surely something should be
done to put ii in better shape just at the begin
ming of summer.
- While playing a game of base ball last
Sunday Thomas Corbin, aged 30 years, of
| Warren, was struck in the temple by pitched
| ball and for time it was thought be had been
killed. He did not regain consciousness until
Monday morning. Sunday ball playing is not
! to be commended.

laundry is located at Long Green Station, Md.
| d Pa. Railroad, will next week establish an
agency at the store of Mr.. William A. Lee, in
| Towson, and will run a wagon here weekly.

on to do what it promises.
>Mr. and Mrs. Walter r. Townsend,
| whose home is near ROssville, 18th district,
were in a runaway accident last Monday af-
| ternoon. Their buggy collided with a tele-
phone pole and both were thrown out, Mrs
| Townsend sustaining some bruises on the face
and hands. Mr.. Townsend escaped injury.

| Stock Farm, Towson, will take place next
| Tuesday. The catalogues are now out and
fifty-nine horses are listed in it, among them
several pairs. Mr.. o. A. Kirkland the veteran
auctioneer of Baltimore. will conduct the sale
which will no doubt attract large crowd.
III is said that Mr.. G. G. West, NJ. +. Fl.
of the Overland Hunt Club, drove his four-in-
hand brake with party of friends, from the
club house in Towson. last Saturday, to the
Stafford, in Baltimore. in thirty five minutes.
There are some skeptical people who don't be-
lieve that he did it and think he couldn't do it
if be tried.
- At the last meeting of the Young Mems
Literary and Debating Society of Towson the
following subject was discussed: Resolved,
That the State should build dormitories for
the students of the State Normal School," AT
frmatve, R. Lee Dunphy and II. G. Murray
negative, J. I. Phipps and G. w. Parker. De-
cision in favor of the affirmative.
1.-THE annual race for the Maryland Hunt
Cup will take place this Saturday afternoon,
on the farm of Col. Robert NJ Denison, Pot
Spring road. east of Timonium. The course
will be about four miles in length and it will
include some pretty stiff country. If the
weather is favorable there will be large at
tendance from the city and surrounding
sections.
THE country for miles around Baltimore
was overrun with city people last Sunday.
The popular drives were filled with vehicles
nearly all day. while wheelmen and pedes-
TRANS were also numerous and the trolley
lines did an immense business. fair and
warm Sunday must mean many thousands of
Company.
- Another mysterious barn fire this week,
accompanied by heavy loss. The opinion pre-
walls that this fire was caused by rat eating
the head of match that had been carelessly
dropped about the building, and this may be
true. The "parlor match" of the present day
is a dangerous thing to have lying around.
Fires are positively known to have been caused
by rats gnawing them.
THE point-to-point race that was run in
Saturday
starting and finishing on the farm of MIR. T.
Dudley Riggs, was won in fine style by Mr..
J. Harry ODonovans horse Garry Owen, rid
den by Mr.. Jervis Spencer, Jr The distance
was about two miles and there were number
of fence and bridge jumps. The weather was
fine and very large crowd witnessed the race.
->Mr.John f. Heisse, of Monkton, who died
at the home of his son, in Baltimore, last
Monday, after long illness, was for years a
valued local correspondent of The UNION and
warm friend of its editors. We extend our
sincere sympathes to his family in their be-
reavement. His children were warmly at
tached to him, which is the best possible evil
dence of his gentleness of nature and kindness
of heart.
- Mrs Ellenor L. Pinkerton, of Baltimore,
who some time ago had the remains of her
husband and daughter removed from Camp
Chapel burial ground, in the 18th district, to
Prospect Hill Cemetery, Towson, this week
also had the remains of her father and mother,
the late Nathan H. Ware and wife, and other
relatives, removed here. The remains of the
late Peter B. Haley were also removed here
from Camp Chapel.
> Miss Blanche Vondersmith daughter of
Mr.. Daniel Vandersmith, of Reisterstown,
who had an operation performed on her foot
about five weeks ago, has almost entirely re-
covered and will not be lame as result of it.
1t was the third one the two previous ones
having proved Intellectual. The operation that
resulted so successfully was performed by DR..
Baker, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital DR..
Campbell, of Owings' Mills, and Dr. Herbert
Beckley of Reisterstown.
- Many complaints were made that sub
scribers to The UNION on the rural free delivery
route extending west from Rossville were not
receiving their papers regularly. The matter
was brought to the attention of the postal
authorities and the trouble was at once cor
rected. 1t resulted from the same cause that
brought complaints from the Northern Cen
trail Railway-the postal clerks on the railroad
carried the packages past their destination and
did not return them until that evening or the
next day.
AT the meeting of the Baltimore Pres
bytery on Tuesday pretty heated discussion
arose over the action of the congregation of
Ashland Presbyterian Church in eecting Rev.
e. ID. Newberry, pastor emeritus. Finally DR..
Newberry, who is 70 years of age, asked for an
honorable discharge from his ministerial du-
ties and his request was granted. In his state
ment he said small minority of the coDgre-
cation had lately made his life anything but
pleasant and that his salary is in arrears for
ten months.
THE American Farm Company of the
United States, that has established a branch
at Corbett, N. G. R. R., with Mr.. Clinton e.
Matthews, manager is new candidate for
public favor that promises to be of great benefit
to farmers generally. The object of the COM
pany, whose capital is placed at S1,000000 is
to buy everything farmer raises and sell him
