Mysterious Disappearance.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Springfield, this county, Sunday says:
On the afternoon Of December "a
Susan Robinson, feeble minded
young colored woman, wandered away
from her home at Springfield during the
temporary absence of her mother and be-
came lost in the woods. Although she
was missed within half an hour after her
disappearance no trace of her could be
discovered that day nor the next, though
diligent search and inquiry were made fa-
and near. On the second day after her
disappearance, however, it was learned
that she sought shelter just before night
fall of the day she left home at the house
of colored man by the name OF johnson,
who lives in an out-of the-way place IN
the woods about mile from Springfield
with a white woman, whom he brought to
Prince Georges county several years ago
from some other State. The man and
woman claim that they were not at home
when the lost girl came to their house,
but that the children, the Oldest Of them a
boy of about Is years, were there and
drove her away. They followed her for
about half mile, when she disappeared
in the woods. Search for the missing girl
was kept up continuously until Sat-
urday, when her dead body was found in
the underground about half a mile from
her home and about the same distance
from the place where she was last seen
alive, 80 far as known.

st. Andrews New Rector.

Next Sunday Rev. George Calvert Car
ter, of Brooklyn, N. Y, will preach his
first sermon at St. Andrews Episcopal
Church, Washington, to which parish he
was called some time ago. Rev. Josiah
B. Perry, who has been the rector Of St.
Andrews for the past twenty-three years,
will 20 to Natchez, Miss, where he will
take charge of Trinity Episcopal Church,
which is considered one of the most i'm
portant churches in the South.
The new rector of St. Andrews comes
from the Church of the Redeemer, Brook
lyn, where he has officiated for ten years,
clearing away in that time a debt of
1000 against the parish and greatly en-
dearing himself to his parishioners. He
is young man, son of Mr.. Bernard Car
te-. leading attorney of Baltimore.
Al the time Rev. Mr.. Perry was called
to st. Andrews the congregation was q
small one, holding services in the little
chapel which is now a part of the parish
hall. Before the coming of Mr.. Perry,
Rev. Mr.. w. A. Harris had been the pas
tor, having helped his congregation to
move out of rented hall into the chapel.
Now, as the result of the energetic way
in which Mr. Perry has carried on the
work begun by Mr.. Harris, st. Andrews
has come to be one of the foremost
parishes of the city. Over 26O familiee
worship there and the church has abe ut
200 members, with 500 communicates.
Over 700 people have been presented for
confirmation by Mr.. Perry during his
pastorate.

Eoeal aao personal.
!lle Academy Case.

A decision has been ren irrr ! in this
case. Judge Jones handed down the
opinion of Court of Appeals on Tuesday.
of which the following is synopsis:
Henry T. Ward against Frederick Sass
Ger and others, appealed from Prince
Georges county. This is an application
for mandamus brought by the appe 'nts,
who claim to have been legally elected
trustees of the Upper Marlboro Academy.
1t was brought against the appellees, who
were declared elected and refused to sur
render the offices. The question turned
upon who had a right to exercise the suf-
frage in the election of these officers. The
courts above and below hold that under
the charter of the institution, granted In
1885, both patrons of the school and those
who had contributed to its construction
or maintenance we're entitled to vote.
Under this view the court refused to dis
turb the board in possession.

grade as shown on the plans. Plans were
also prepared for co ncrete culvert with a
waterway feet wide and 5 feet high.
This culvert was built in very satisfac-
tory manner. The end walls rise 10 feet
above the stream level and wing walls
protect both ends of the culvert. The
concrete was made from the gravel and
sand found in the immediate vicinity.
During this year, 1908, the whole of the
T road has been regraveled from the
District of Columbia line as far as Wilson
branch, distance of about miles. The
regraveling Of the sections of the road,
was made necessary by the severe wea-
Their of the past winter, which caused the
clayey gravel, which, had previously been
put upon the road, to cut through in
many places, so that it was deemed ad-
visable to resurface all of the road with a
sandy gravel. The work done upon the
road in 1902 and 1903 has been under the
supervision of Mr.. Hardy, one of the
Board of Road Commissioners. who car.
ried on the work by day labor.
CENTRAL AVENUE.
Surveys and plans for the improve
ment of this road, beginning at the Dis.
trict of Columbia, were made in 1901.
Nothing, however, was done until the
present Road Commissioners decided to
expend portion of the license fund in
grading and graveling this road. Although
everything was in readiness to take up
the work early in the season it was not
begun until October. In order to grade
properly the hill near the District of
Columbia it was necessary to extend the
embankment over the line into the Dis
trict, for which the consent of the Dis
trict Commissioners was obtained. The
grading and graveling of this bill was the
only work done on Central avenue. The
grades here have been reduced from and
8 per cent to per cent. The cost, re-
ported by the Road Commissioners, was
$59s 10 which includes graveling about
1000 feet of road in addition to the exca-
vation which amounted to about 1914
cubic yards.
The work on this hill led the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia to i'm
prove the continuation of the road with.
in the District, so that now there is a
continuous stretch of good road from the
county into the City of Washington.
CHESAPEAKE JUNCTION ROAD.
The Road Commissioner requested
plans and estimates for new road, which
it was proposed to open near Chesapeake
Junction, between what is known as the
Chapel road and the Hill road, 4 distance
of about 12 miles. Although some work
has been done, the plans furnished by the
Geological Survey have not been follow

This road was improved for a distance
of about 1 I miles from the District line to
point near Silver Hill in 1901, as de-
scribed in the Second Report on the
Highways of Maryland, on page 154. In
1902 the plans for reducing the grades on
the north side of Henson's branch were
carried out. On this slope it was i'm
possible, even with cuts as deep as 9 and
10 feet, to get a better grade than 8 per
cent, and it was necessary to extend this
former grades were as high as Is per
cent. On the south slope but little change
in the grade was considered necessary.
The road was graveled for about =
miles.
The following year, 1908, the Road
Commissioners desired to extend the i'm
provement and to reduce the grades where
the road crosses Wilson's branch Plans
and estimates were accordingly made
showing the grades on the north slope, or
