To Extend Electric Line Into the Coun-
ty.-The United Railways and Electric COM
pany has decided to extend its North Avenue
and Mount Holly line from the present termi-
nus at Windsor Hills to point along Gwynn's
falls, just opposite Dickeyville, distance of
about half mile. The line is already graded
for double track, but for the present only
single track will be laid. Construction will be
started at once.
This extension will greatly benefit the peo-
pie of Dickeyville, as it will run to within
half mile of that thriving little town, and
give them direct route to the city. Now they
must either walk or drive over a crcuitous
way along the old Wetheredyille and Windsor
Mills read. Several cotton mills are located at
Dickeyville and the employees constitute the
bulk of the population.
The new line will have horseshoe curve in
it, and will run through beautiful section of
country, so that it will probably get the name
of the Scenic line. 1t is the intention to ulti-
mately extend the line into Dickeyville.-Ba

DR.. Kalbach Will Keep "Montrose.'-
The argument in the case of Miss Elizabeth A..
X. Macklin against DR.. Adam NJ. Kalbach, of
Lancaster, Pa, was concluded before Judge
Burke in the Circuit Court here on Thursday.
Col. D. g. Mcintosh appeared for Miss Mack
lin, and Messrs. Applegarth, Herman & Ref
snider for Dr. Kalbach. The case was brought
to compel the defendant to convey to the plain
tiff large tract of land known as "Montrose, !"
near Woodensburg, 4th district.
It was alleged that the defendant had APP
preached Miss Macklin, who then owned the
property, which had been advertised to be sold
under foreclosure of a mortgage and suggested
that he be allowed to buy in the land and then
reconvey it to her, she giving him a mortgage
for the balance due him. In carrying out this
agreement, it was further alleged, DR.. Kalbach
did buy the land, and Miss Macklin released to
him the difference between the amount due on
the mortgage and the purchase price, but the
plaintiff averred that Kalbach did not and
would not reconvey the property to her.
Judge Burke, at the conclusion of the argu-
ment, at once announced that decree would
be signed giving to the plaintiff pensation
for the amount due her at the foreclosure sale.
The special relief which was asked which was
that defendant be required to reconvey the
land, was in effect denied, and DR.. Kalbach
will therefore be allowed to retain possession
