of Silvans, and is higher than for rs
years. Plank and skid roads are
washed out. The Great Northern

Ellensburg are under water, or the
tracks are covered deep in mud.

$4,000 cords Of shingle bolts have
gone down the river. The center span
Of the Toledo wagon bridge is gone
and many smaller bridges also, but
communication with the country dis
tricts is almost impossible, and full
details cannot be learned The
Wright mill boom gave way today,
letting out several hundred cords OF
bolts. All the piling recently driven
for bridge across the Cowlitz at this
point is also gone.

A Masquerade Party.

A party of our young people spent an en-.
joyable evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tyson Harden. of Reisierstown, on Thursday
evening of last week. They were masked
and made their unexpected appearance at
$50. The costumes were novel and pictur-
esque. Quite while elapsed before any of
them were recognized. Many interesting
games were played. About II. 80 the dining.
room doors were thrown open, and the table
was artistically arranged and laden with all
kinds of refreshments. At quite late hour
they dispersed declaring it had been the event
of the season. One of the young gentlemen
seemed to be so enraptured, either over the
festivities or the moonlight drive, he forgot to
leave his lady's disguise at her home when
they returned. Those present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Harden and family and Mrs. Buckley.
In disguise were Misses Molie Williams and

DYNAMITE IN COAL.
Stick of the Explosive Discovered in Car

Hid away in a carload of coal sent into.
this state by the Philadelphia and Reading
Company, big stick of dynamite, equipped
with percussion cap and fuse over a foot
long, was discovered. This fuse had been
partially burned as evidence that an attempt
TO set off the dynamite and destroy the coal
and Car had been made.
The coal was shipped to Mr.. Jacob H.
Blocher, general storekeeper at Alesia, Car
roll county, on the Baltimore and Harrisburg
Division of the Western Maryland Railroad.
1t was received by him on Saturday and as
soon as the work of unloading the car began
the stick of dynamite was discovered. The
coal was partially frozen and some of it had
to be dug out with picks. Probably no one
would have been able to tell what happened if
one of the picks had hit the stick of dynamite.
The stick of dynamite was found almost in
the exact centre of the car The end with
the percussion cap was near the top of the
heap of coal, while the fuse ran out through
the bottom of the car.
Report of the finding of the dynamite has
been made to the Philadelphia and Reading
Company. An investigation leads to the con-
clusion that the explosive was Intentionally
placed in the car, as there is practically no
way it could get there accidentally. The fact
that the fire had also been applied to the fuse,
which was of the slow burning variety, adds
to the weight of evidence against the accident
theory. This carload of coal was the first sent
to Mr. Blocher since last spring, and in max
ing his report of the affair Mr.. Blocher said,
probably with some show of reason, that she
was very much surprised to find the dyna-
mite in the coal.

Milk Producers Notes.

In the case of Levi Black VS.. the First Ma.
tional Bank of Westminster, an appeal from
the Circuit Court for Carroll County, Judge
Pearce delivered the opinion Of the Court of
Appeals on Thursday, affirming the judgment
of the lower court. This suit was brought by
the bank to recover from Black the amount
due upon two negotiable promissory notes
made by him and payable to the order of the
United Milk Producers Association, now in
solvent TO the declaration containing the
common counts and also alleging that the notes
were Endorsed TO the plaintiff by the payee be-
fore the Milk Associations insolvency the de-
PENDANT filed IL pleas, the substance of which
was that the notes were not so Endorsed; that
j. B. Councilman, the secretary and treasurer
of the association, had not the power or au-
thority so to indorse them; that the notes were
procured by fraud that the notes were de-
posted in the Old Town Bank, of Baltimore,
as collateral security for advances, and that
the Old Town Bank was to hold and negotiate
the same, which the plaintiff knew the notes
were given for the accommodation of the as
ISOLATION. A demurrer to most of these pleas
was sustained and Judgment was entered for
the bank. The Court of Appeals alfirms this
Judgment, saying that no agreement in writing
was made as to the notes being for the asso-
ciation's accommodation or as to their being
for collateral security, and that even were the
facts as stated in pleas allowed, the bank could
recover, as it was purchaser for value with
out notice. The case was instituted to test
the validity of large number of similar notes
given by the stockholders of the late United
Milk Producers Association to pay for their
shares of stock. The creditors of the defunct
corporation in the case of Brown vs.. Gettys-
burg National Bank attempted to recover from
the stockholders who had not given notes upon
their unpaid subscriptions, but the Court of
Appeals decided that they could not recover.
In the case Of the notes the Court holds that
they are valid and must be paid. The deci-
sion affects many of the farmers and dairymen
of Western Maryland, who will have to pay
the notes given for their stock in the Milk
Producers Association.
Charles E. Fink, Roberts & Grouse and
Guy w. Steele were attorneys for appellant;
j. NJ. Reifsnider and W. Burns Trundle for
appellees.
