AS TO A RIGHT OF WAY,
Intetesting Case Concerning Drive
way Before Justice
w. d. Lee.

A very interesting case came up
yesterday afternoon at 2.30 O'Clock
before Justice w. ID. X. Lee, of the
Second district. The case was to de-
eide the right of way through the
property of Mr.. Henry Helmer, and it
involves some interesting legal points.
Mr.. Frank Pumphrey swore out a
states warrant to settle the right Of
way through the property of Mr..
Henry Helmer.
Mr. Helmer recently purchased the
farm of Mr.. Lemuel X. Taylor, in the
county. A driveway through this
farm forms short cut to Mr.. Pun
phrey's place and has been used for
years by Mr.. Pumphrey and others as
public road or driveway. Since
Mr.. Helmer purchased the property
ne has cut down trees and attempted
to close up the road as public
thoroughfare. In cutting the trees
Mr.. Pumphrey claims his trees were
cut down and this also will figure in
the case as well as the question of the
right of way through Mr.. Helmer's S
property.
Mr.. Helmer has engaged Mr.. James
NJ. Munroe as his attorney and the
case yesterday had preliminary hear
ing before Justice Lee, but as it is a
regular court case, the contestants
pleaded a jury trial. The case may
come up at the October term of the
Court

CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL.
A SIx-DAY SESSION BEGUN IN
DIES MONIES.
Address of The Retiring Moderator
Given AT The Opening of
The Session.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. I3.-The tri-
ennial session of the national council
of the Congregational churches of the
United States opened a day session
in the Plymouth Congregational
Church today. About 500 delegates
were present at the call to order by
the Rev. Amory II. Bradford. ID. d.,
of Montclair, N. j.. moderator.
The address of the retiring moder-
ator, the appointment of committees
and other business of a perfunctory
nature occupied the greater part of
the opening session. Important ques-
tions confronting the Congregational
Church are slated for consideration at
the present meeting of the national
council. The council is not legisla-
tive body, vet it's advice is followed
by the churches in quite as large meas
ure as are the laws obeyed that are
enacted by official bodies among other
denominations. The matter of most
popular interest is the proposed union
of the Congregational Methodist Pro-
testant and United Brethren bodies
The national council represents the
largest Of the three bodies, and its ac-
tion will carry greatest weight.
Preliminaries of the union have
been arranged. A union of Methodist
Protestant and United Brethren bod
les almost certain, but it is not felt TO
be sure that Congregationalists can
bring themselves into line. The idea
among the leaders of the denomination
now here seems to be cooperation,
rather than consolidation. Union on
some working lines, as missionary in.
terests and q few minor points, is
about all that Congregational leaders
look for this year. Many think the
present council will do well if it se-
cures cooperation in any real sense.
The present gathering is historic in
one sense. in that for the first time
the several benevolent and auxiliary
societies of the church are meeting in
conjunction with the national council.
The American board, whose meeting
has been in progress in Grinnell dur
ing the last three days, adjourned at
noon today and its members reached
Des Moines in time to participate in
the opening proceedings of the nation
al council.
The dominant theme of the popular
address before the council will be
1.-The True Revival of Religion in the
Churches, !" as it refers to the individ-
ual, the community, the nation and
the world. Industrial problems will be
considered, not only by specialists
from among Congregational teachers,
but by representatives also of labor or
aanizations, the United Garment Work
ers and the Railway Conductors being
represented by their secretaries. The
council sermon will be preached by
the Rev. Alexander Mckenzie, ID. d.,
of Cambridge, Mass.

PRICE ONE GENT
GAME A NALEOVEl
MARINE OFFICERS MAKE A
POOR SHOWING.
The Midshipmen Had Everything
Their Own Way From
The Start.

The midshipmen had a walkovor
yesterday afternoon in the football
game with the marine officers. The
final score was 6S to o. During tho
first half of the contest the midship-
men played their regular men, and a
total of As points was run up in 20
minutes of play.
In the second half the coaches put
in number of substitutes, and 20
more points were added to the already
large score. The game was played in
a driZzling rain, but in spite of this
the midshipmen held on TO the slippery
pigskin nicely. making only a couple
of fumbles, while the officers fumbled
frequently The marines went into
the game with the determination of
at least making matters interesting
and with the hope of holding the mid
dies down to about three touehdowns.
The middies, however. played snappy
ball all the way and completely swept
off their feet the officers, some of
whom were formerly stars of college
elevens.
In all ten toucbdowns were scored,
from which eight goals were kicked.
The officers were forced behind their
own goal on one occasion for touch
back. The other points of the score
were made by Norton dropping two
pretty goals from the field, one from
the 2S-yard line and another from the
35-yard line. Several long runs were
made, the most spectacular being
that of Wilcox, who received the ball
after a kickoff and lodged through
the opponents for 20 yards before be-
ing finally downed. For the officers
the alI-round work of Larned at quar-
ter and Stokes at right end was note
worthy. The middies had a slight
advantage in pounds of weight, but
the game showed the superiority of
well-trained youth over seniority in
age.

Set Eastport Talking

The little village of Eastport across
the Spa is rolling under its tongue a
savory morseI of gossip. The princi-
pals figuring in the gossip are a
woman who has recently left her hus-
band and gone off with an erstwhile
boarder, and the wronged husband left
behind to take up the burden of life
again, saying only cit might have
been.' Rumor has 1t that the little
family were happy and contented un-
til they took into their home a board
er, who destroyed its peace and happi-
ness. Recently the wife has been i'll
and patient at a hospital, the hus-
band spending much money to restore
her to health. On her return the wife
seemed dissatisfied and one day re-
Gently after his days work the hus-
band returned to his home to find his
wife gone. The neighbors said her
trunks had been taken away and gos-
sip has it the boarder disappeared at
the same time. Much sympathy is
felt for the husband, who is hard
working man.

OPPOSED TO THE CHANGE
Vigorous Argument of Hon. ]. w.
Randall Against Revising
The Canon.

The Hon. John Writ Randall, presi-
dent of the Farmers National Bank of
this city, took prominent part in the
debate ON the proposed revision of the
canon on marriage and divorce. con-
tinued ins the house of deputies in the
Protestant Episcopal convention in
session at Boston. Mass. from yester.
day.
Lay Delegate Joseph Packard, OF
Baltimore, was again the presiding
officer of the committee of the whole
when the discussion was resumed, and
many times was his ability as parlia-
mentarian called upon TO straighten
out tangles brought about by the heat
ed debate on the all l-absorbing topic
Mr.. Randall made a notable speech on
the reports before the body aud de-
plored the growth of the divorce evil.
He objected TO any change in the
canon, however, ON these three
grounds: The proposed new law is
ahead of Scripture warrant, il lis con-
trary to prayer book and is bad policy.
Mr. Randall said he was strenuously
opposed Co divorce, still he believed
that the innocent party had right to
re-marry and thought the church had
no right to make laws which are in
direct defiance to the word of God
He criticised the Catholic church for
the stand it assumes ON divorce. The
trend of the debate was against any
change in the canon. The debate will
continue for several days. The ques-
tion of marriage and divorce was
reached at IL. 20 O'Clock. Hon. K. o..
Bradford, of Delaware. spoke against
the marriage of divorced persons,
while Rev. James III. McIlvaine, of
Pittbsurg, said nothing could be done
so long as they allow the present
Bible to be read by the children, for
it contains in Matthew, 10Th chapter,
special reference to the marriage re-
lation.
"Why," said he, elf man is an
innocent party to divorce for adul.
terry and then comes to me for the sac
rament, am to deny him it? l had
rather cut off my right hand. Yester-
day someone said that as the civil
courts were the ones to unmarry they
should be willing to do the remarry-
ing True, if you want it that way,
but can the civil court administer the
blessed sacrament TO those innocent
praties or even to the guilty? You
know better; so do l. We should go
slowly, as conservative men. for we
are dealing with a tremendous ques-
tion.

NEN HOME ORTHE SOLDIERS
WILL SOON OCCUPY OLD
LAND OFFICE.
Companies NJ And G Are Pleased
With Their New Drill
Quarters.

The completion of the work. of re-
moval of the Land Office from its old
quarters to its new location in the
Court of Appeals, which will be ac-
complished by the middle of next
week, will delight the officers and
men of the two local companies of
the Maryland National Guard, Com
panies NJ and @, of the First Regi-
ment, which will then occupy the
whole building.
The present plan is for the main
room on the ground floor TO be used as
drill halE Although this room is
hardly as large as the old hall in the
City Hotel, yet it is sufficient for form
ing the company for manual of arms,
sighting drills and squad drills It is
also hoped that basket ball can be
played in it, Company Nj will use
the other rooms on the ground floor
and Company q will have quarters on
the second floor. This will leave
rooms for Major Porter and Major
Claude, the surgeon major of the regi-
ment.
1t is intended to make this season
the most notable in the history of the
local companies by making of the ar
mory place where the men can pass
pleasant Nand profitable evening.
Great effart is To be made To make the
Instructions varied, thorough and in
teresting and besides the club features
will be encouraged. AS Adjuant- Gen.
eral Riggs has shown great interest in
the local companies and fully appre-
ciates the benefits of such things, it
is expected that he will fit mp good
gymnasium with wrestling mat. box
ing gloves. punching bag. basket ball
apparatus, ETC., indeed he has already
expressed interest in the matter and
notified Captain Riley, of Company
M, to forward list of things desired.
AS the state pays no rent or light
bill for the Annapolis companies, it is
considered that it can well afford to
make these allowances, which will
undoubtedly tend to improve the con-
dition of the companies and the spirit
of the men who compose them.

Won,tHaveDashiel AS Umpire

A special despatch from Princeton,
N. j., says:
Considerable surprise and indigna-
tion have been aroused in Princeton
over the rumor that Princeton is try
ing to force Yale to accept Jack
Minds as upmire in the coming game
and refuses to consider Paul Dashiell,
who is Yale's indicated choice. AS
a matter of fact no effort has been
made to do anything of the kind.
Princeton is willing to take any um-
pire Yale chooses TO name, whether
he be Minds or anyone else, except
-Dashiell. Princeton's objection to
Dashiell extends back to 1899. During
the Yale game of that year, so the
Tigers claim, his decisions showed
such partiality to Yale that the fact
alone was sufficient to make him OBJ
jectionable to Princeton.
Two years ago he is believed to
have shown the same partiality
against Princeton in the game with
Cornell. There are many other objec-
tions raised by Princeton. Last year
Princeton on account of these things
refused to accept him as umpire in
the game with Yale, so Yale accepted
Jack Minds in his place. The Prince
ton people say Minds enforced the
rules of the game as Dashiell never
did and Yale has kicked strongly there
at ever since. Hence the present OBJ
lection of the Ellis to accept him as
umpire on account of what she con-
sidered unfair decisions. But as
Princeton expresses perfect willing
ness to accede to any choice Yale may
make except Dashiell the matter will
probably be peaceably adjusted in a
short time. -
