CHAPTER NIX.

After William Penn took possession Of
his territories on the Delaware several
interviews took place between him and
the lord proprietary of Maryland in ref
"rcn"e to the adjustment of the bOundar-
les of their respective provinces, but in
asmuch rs they had no particular hearing

From about the time of the disappear
ancr of George Talbot in 1857, to the
time Of the death Of William Penn. which
took place in IT'S. the good understand.
ing between the two provinces had been
maintained by variety of temporary
"Xpcdients. which were every now and
then frustrated by some act of border
aggression.
This was notably the case with the
peopl" living on the borders of this
county. At this time there were very
few settlements i'll Pennsylvania west of
the Susquehanna River. and the people
living in the lower part of the Peninsula
seem to have been more peacefully dis
posed than those on the borders of this
county.
In l121 Adam Short, who lived upon \
tract of land called Green Meadows,
which was somewhere on the borders of
Welsh Tract, complained 10 the Council
of Maryland that shortly before he had
been waited on by Davy Evans Of the
Welsh Tract, who was accompanied by
eight or ten men, and had two horses
harnessed to a log sledge who demanded
possession of his premises which he re-
fused to give them. Apprchending trou-
bic he went to see Maryland Magis-
tratc, and found when he returned that
his visitors had been so expeditions in
building Il log house that they had raised
it all round three logs high during his
absence. He protested against their ac-
ton but they finished the house and
gave possession to one Rice jenkins. To
avoid trouble Short removed to another
plantation which he had on Christiana
Creek, where he then resided, first Sec
urely fastening the doors of his dwelling

that the mayor and other friends
whom he met while here as a delegate

is accompanied by a party Of promi-
nent persons and the motion to have
all the aldermen and council, who can
possibly go,to meet him, was adopted.
Mayor Yeiser stated that the United
States supreme court had recently, in
a Pennsylvania case, decided that tel
ephone and telegraph companies were
liable for pole tax and the motion to
have an ordinance drawn in accordance
with this decision was adopted. This
means that the local companies will

recently decided that it required two.
thirds property owners petition to Sc

new EVIDENCE is FOUND
SUDDEN TURN IN CASE BROUGHT By
LOUIS HITZELBERGER.
Testimony Given by John c. Henry
Regarding Dfvidends-Other Cases
in the Local Courts.

The argument in the suit Of Louis Hitzel-
berger against the Home Stove Company
was heard by Judge Vinson Carter yester-
Gay Addison C. Harris and John b. Elan,
attorneys for the plaintiff and defendant,
argued during the day. The argument con-
sisted mostly of citations of decisions and
precedents in other cases similar.
Before the commencement OF the argu-
nent the court and attorneys were sur
prised by an application for a reopening Of
the testimony III the case by Addison c.
Harris, attorney for Hitzelberger. Mr.
Harris fled with his application an affi-
davit averring the discovery of new evil
conversation OF John c. Henry. an en-
ploye of the Indianapolis Stove Company
formerly of the Home Stove Company. with
Harris in which Henry said that
inasmuch as the case was closed
he could talk more freely of it.
He told Mr.. Harris that he had
heard of a conversation in which President
Alig. OF the Home Stove Company. had
said that Hitzelberger. having refused to
sell his stock. would not receive any divi-
dends for three or four years. he said that
Alig had stated that he would make Hitzel-
berger sick before he would permit him
to collect any earnings from his invest
ment
Henry had supposed the case was closed
completely and Mr.. Harris led him to be-
ieve that IL was, so far as the evidence
was concerned After the conversation Mr.
Harris filed the application for a reopening
OF the evidence in order that Henry's testi-
money might be heard by the court.
Henry took the witness stand during the
morning and Under the questioning of Mr..
Harris related the conversation he had
alluded to in his talk Saturday evening.
The suit will probably be concluded to-
day. but the decision will not be announced
for several days. the petition for a spe-
cial finding was granted several days ago
and II will be necessary for Judge Carter
10 hand down a written decision covering
the points OF law involved in the suit.
