Exceptions TO Sale Filed.

Exceptions to the ratification of the
sale of Mount Airy, the old Calvert estate,
near Rosaryville, this county, to Mrs.
Title R. Littell, of New York, have been
filed by Mrs. Peters, Of Washington. one
of the Calvert heirs. The principal
ground of the exceptions is that a larger
offer than that made by Mrs. Littell has
been received from Mr.. Herbery Wright,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who offers to pay
$4,000 for the property, whereas the bid
of Mrs. Littell was only $12,4O0. This is
the third time that the property has been
sold, and the third time that exceptions
have been filed to the ratification of the
sale.
The exceptions to this latest sale are
filed through Messrs. Duckett, Dent and
Chew, and Judge Merrick has set today
for the hearing of the case. The law
states that mere inadequacy of price I'm.
less it is such as to raise a suspicion OF
fraud is not sufficient to set aside a sale
properly made by trustees. 1t is believed
that the court will ratify the sale. Mrs.
Littell-is now occupying Mount Airy.

Resort Keepers Fined.

Andrew Beach and Daniel Turner,
keepers of resorts at Chesapeake juno
ton, were before Justice of the Peace
Arthur Carr, of Hyattsville, Wednesday
afternoon, charged with violations of law
at the Junction. The charges were pre-
ferred by Beaver Rollins, constable of
Kent district. There were three charges
against Beach, one for conducting a
sweat" game, one for selling liquor on
Sunday, and one for keeping an unlicensed
bar. The " latter charges were dis
missed, owing to the non appearance of
William Vermillion, the principal witness
for the prosecution, who is said to be i'll.
In the case of allowing gambling on his
premises Beach was fined $50 and costs.
In the case of Turner, charged with
selling two glasses of beer on May 3Oth
last, without a license, Judge Carr i'm
posed the minimum fine of $50 and costs.
Turner pleaded his own case, and stated
that his application for a license was pre-
sented May 1st, and that he had not yet
secured his license. He stated that the
Clerk of the Court, who issues these
licenses, had told him to go ahead with
his business.

Receives Degree Of LII. ID.

The honorary degree of Doctor OF
Laws has been conferred upon Hon.
Marion Duckett, of ~Bladensburg, by the
Nashville College of Law, of Nashville,
Tenn. This institution is managed and
controlled by gentlemen of the highest
and most complete moral and mental
equipment, and apart from the honor of
securing the highest degree conferred by
the College, it gives Mr.. Duckett the dis
tinguished status of representative of the
State of Maryland in the honorary alumni
of one of the leading legal colleges of the
country. Mr.. Duckett is regarded as
among the foremost of Maryland's most
distinguished lawyers, and it is crafty
ing to his many professional and law
friends to know that his. ability is reco
nized and appreciated by such a plomi
nent legal institution and in such a sub
stantial and deserving manner.-Hyalts-

Display of Pianos and Organs.

The music loving people of Upper
Marlborough are promised a treat for the
coming week.
The young and aggressive firm of j. p.
Caulfeld & Co. are to have an exhibition
at the Town Hall, a grand display of their
instruments, and in connection with same,
concerts an d ~recitals are to be given each
day.
AS stated in their advertisement Messrs.
J. P. Caulfeld & Co. have sought this
means of Introducing themselves and
their instruments to the people of this
section, and THE ENQUIRER congratulates
them on their business methods.
They rave not come amongst us simply
to tell US what fine instruments they han
die, they have brought the instruments
along with them, so that those who are
interested may examine them.
There can be no question as to the
quality of the goods they have advertised.
mason s. Hamlin Organs" nave for over
fifty years been recognized as the stand
ard organs of the world, having received
the highest honors at many of the great
international expositions, and are the on
ly American organs that nave won such
honors at any great foreign expositions.
The standing of the Sohmer piano is al
most as we'll known as that of the cele-
brated organ referred to and we have not
the slightest doubt that the other instru-
ments advertised for this exhibit will
prove to be all that Messrs. J. P. Caul-
field g. Co.. claim for them.
However, the instruments are here and
everybody is invited to inspect them,
whether they think of purchasing or not.
We wish this firm success with their
exhibit and hope that it will result in
bringing them business.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cur Deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inlamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachin
Tube. When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

The very general and heavy rains
which visited our ne%ighborhood during
the past two weeks nave given most
abundant seasons for planting tobacco
and our farmers have all finished this
week; reporting crops as now looking
well, although much corn was entirely
destroyed by the severe electric storms
which passed over this section of the
country IN the Goth of May, and by
which the scorching drought of six weeks
was ended. During the storms of this
day many fields were flooded and fences
carried away, a number of farmers being
obliged to plough up their lands and re-
plant crops. A barn belonging to Misses
Carrie and Clara Turner, and only about
fifty yards from their dwelling house, was
struck by lightning and badly. injured.
