New Methodist Churches to be Built
At the morning service in Govanstown M. K.
Church last Sunday the pastor, Rev. Howard
f. Downs made the announcement that plans
had been completed for the erection of new
church to cost about $4,000. The plans call
for an edifce to be erected of stone, and to
contain a main auditorium, so by 40 feet
Sunday school room, 80 by 40 feet, with pas
tors study and infant department. The base
ment will be used for the heating apparatus.
There are to be two entrances, the main one
being on the east and a side entrance on the
north. A tower will ornament the front of
the church.
Through the efforts of Rev. W. w. Costin,
pastor of Hunts Circuit, a new Methodist
Episcopal Church will be built at Stevenson.
Green Spring Valley. The site, which will
consist of two-thirds of an acre, has been do
mated by Mr.. w. T. Sargent, while the stone
has been given by Mr.. Samuel NJ. Shoemaker.
The church will be erected through subscrip-
tons from the Methodists residing in the val
ley. 1t will be known as Green Spring Valley
Methodist Episcopal Church and is expected
to be completed by next fall.
The B. & o. Won the Suit.-Judge Burke
has given an opinion in favor of the defendant
in the case of the Canton Company against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, which
was tried before him without jury. 1t was
a suit in ejectment brought by the Canton
Company to recover possession of parcel of
land in Canton condemned by jury of inqui-
sition about 1884 for the use of the Railroad
Company which, the Canton Company claim
ed, had been abandoned by the Railroad Com
pany.
The jury of inquisition awarded to the Cam
ton Company $50, 600 for the land taken, which
amount was paid by the Railroad Company,
and the suit was an effort on the part of the
Canton Company to regain possession.
Judge Burke ruled that the plaintiff was not
entitled to recover, although the court may
poses, provided the court shall find that such
non-use for railroad purposes was not in pur-
suance of an intention on the part of the de-
PENDANT company to abandon the land SO ac-
quired under the condemnation proceedings.

NO NEW NEW POLICEMEN YET
Board It Is Said viii Increase the
Force to Fifsy Men.

The Police Boaord met this morning;
but transacted only routine business in
addition to passing the pay roll 1t was
anticipated that the Board would appoint
a number of new policemen, but no action
in that line wa staken.
The force is to be increased by about
fifty men and many are quietly working
the politicians to secure an appointment
Chief Murphy has grown right face
tious of late in the subject of new ap-
pointments. With straight face he de-
clares that it is impossible to get the re-
quisite number of men and saays he
fears that the police Board will have
to advertise for outsiders. This in view
of the fact that men who took an ac-
tive part in the recent election are tum-
bling over each other in efforts to Sc
cure appointments ito the force.
