Mr.. j. w. LeGore the we'll
known Lime Manufacturer of Le-
Gore, this county, is said to be at
the head of a project to build a
trolley line from estminster to a

The friends of Mr.. Edward ID.
Hobbs formerly of New Market
district. this county, who recently
removed with his family to Nor
folk, Va, to enter the contracting
business with his father-in-l law
MIR. G. IL. East, is achieving
we'll merited success. An article
in the Norfolk Ercning Dispatch
of recent date tells of two fine
buildings that the new firm has
under construction, and also Of a
proposed apartment house which
they will erect in Client. a rich
suburb, at cost Of $50, 900. They
are the owners of the lot and
building They have also a CON
tract for $4,000 dwelling in
Client.
Mr.. Hobbs, who married a Miss
East of Danville, Va. several
years ago, was attracted to Nor
folk on account of the prospects
of the clty's growth and it's favor
able location for investment pur-
poses. His continued success will
be a matter Of much qualification
to his many friends and a source
of pride to those who like to hear
of the good fortune of residents
of this good old city and county.

$500 TO EACH FAMILY.
Western Maryland Railroad
Settling With Wreck
Victims.

Agents of the Western Mary
land Railroad Company were in
ThurmOnt and Catoctin on Thurs
day and Friday of last week and
effected settlements with nearly
all the families Of the 26 men en-
ployed by the company who were
killed in the collision near West
minister three weeks ago. The
family of each person killed was
paid $500 cash. In the Sweeney
family, where the father and two
sons were killed, the widow was
paid 81, 800. 1t is said one or two
parties are holding out for much
larger amount but the promptness
of the company in coming to the
aid of the stricken, will allay
much of the feeling against it and
make easy the settlement.
A dispatch from Hagerstown of
the 7th says: The Western Mary
land Railroad Company's purchas-
ing agent, IL. l.. Burgau, and
Engineman Shields are in Hagers-
town making settlements with the
families of the men killed in the
wreck near estminster. While
settlement has been made for 5000
with many of the families, it is
understood that the families of
some will ask for more.

Effort to Control Road.

1t has been persistently rum
ored about the city that an effort
is being made to secure control of
the Frederick and Middletown
Electric Railway. 1t seems that
some stock has been recently sold
in certain quarters and several
other straws point to the way the
wind blows from. An official of
the company said that it would
not be possible to get control of
the road on account of a pooling
contract that requires all sigma
lures before one can sell even a
portion of his stock.

HOTEL BRADDOCK. "

Opened TIL urs ~ of L a S t
Week With Forty Guests
Appointments and Service
First Glass and Prospects
Good-Other Braddoc K
Heights Notes
The "Hotel Braddockn the
splendid new summer hostelery at
Braddock Heights, opened on
Thursday last, with about forty
guests, who attracted by the de.
lightful situation and the salubri.
GUS climate, took advantage ofthe
opportunity to spend their vaca.
cation at this growing resort.
From all that can be learned
everyone is much pleased with
the hotel appointment and service
and the prospects are most. prOpi-
tious for a successful season. Mr..
Long has certainly displayed great
push and enterprise in working
the hotel plan out to maturity and
he certainly should have earnest
support. Quite number of
people from this city are guests
already and others have made
arrangements for later in the
season. Hagerstown has supplied
several guests and Baltimore and
Washington comes in as usual
with their quota. These latter
places can be looked to for many
persons during the summer and as
it is many from those cities are
staying at several of the cottages.
The hotel is now completely
furnished and has attracted much
attention. Many persons from
Frederick and other places go
there in the evening and take din
ner and sit on the cool veranda,
watching the eXquisit scenery and
getting comfort and pleasure from
the cooling breezes.
The colony at Braddock Heights
is a numerous one with plenty of
young people who make things
merry with their play and laugh
ter. 1t is also an ideal spot for
children and persons broken in
health. So far this season no one
there has suffered much from the
excessive heat and the evenings
and nights are always cool aud
pleasant. Dancing twice a week
! at Braddock Heights gives the
young people much to do in this
line and then the socially inclined
find much otherwise to amuse and
interest them.
The new auditorium at the
Heights has had this week as an
attraction a moving picture show
and a clever boy magician. OILY
a small admission fee is charged
and so far considerable business
has been done. Many people
come from Middletown Myersville
and Hagerstown on the trolley
and the cars from Frederick always
carry crowd. a new schedule
is in operation. cars running hour,
ly to Braddock.
There is no question but that a
glowing future is before Braddock
Heights and all that is necessary
to attain it is vide awake and
progressive policy, which always
pays in the long run.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
Mother and Sister of Alleged
Wife of Col. G.. T. Cline,
Also Charged With
Perjury.

A dispatch from Chicago dated
July 18th, says: Mrs. Matilda
Bender and her daughter, Marie,
have been arrested on charges of
perjury and conspiracy in con
nection with their attempt to
secure for Charlotte Bender a
widows share in the estate of
the late Colonel George I. Cline.
The estate for which the Benders
were fighting is valued at almost
S2,0O0,OO0.
The story which was told to
Judge Cutting by Mrs. Bender
and her daughter some months
ago hangs on their contention
that Robert Cline, now dead, and
the deceased millionaire were one
and the same person. They de-
clared that while posing as
"Robert Cline, cattle buyer,
from Texas" he married Char
lOtte Bender.
During the proceedings before
Judge Cutting and later before
the grand jury the supposed
widow # the millionaire did not
appear to testify, her mother and
sister saying that she was con-
fined in an asylum for insanity.
Judge Cutting refused to rec
agnize the claims of Charlotte
Bender and recommended that
the grand jury investigate the
case. As a result the mother
and sister of the claimant were
indicted and the indictment kept
secret until their arrest.
THE STORY OF LOTTIE BENDER.
Colonel Cline is buried in Fred
erick, Md, the town of his birth.
He died in July, 1903, after a
most remarkable career. Born of
poor parents he started early in
life to acquire a fortune. Just
how he obtained his millions has
not been made clear, but he
bought and sold real estate in
the Middle West. One deal in
Indiana HarbOr. Indiana, is said
to have netted HIM $4,000, 900.
Much of Cline's life, in fact. was a
mystery. He lived in the Wood
bine Hotel. Chicago, which he
had built, in two or three rooms,
poorly furnished, to avoid pub.
licity, and is said to have taken
his meals at an obscure reStau.
rant. He had number of rela-
tives i'll Frederick, Mrs. Mary
l.. Yeakle being a sister and n.
o. Cline, a brother. Each Of
these was to get One-fourth of
the estate, the rest going to his
nepbews in California. NJ r.
Aquilla r. Yeakle is one the
executors.
Some time after Colonel Cline's
death the woman who is now
charged with conspiracy, APP
peared-or rather her name was
brought into prominence-as the
alleged widow of the deceased,
and one year ago a long account
was published in a Chicago paper
relating how LOttie Bender had
been made insane by injuries in
tlicted by thugs who robbed her
of the papers whereby she had
hoped to establish her claims.
The widow was said to be the
daughter OF an Austrian gentle
tleman who had been employed
as clerk in the stock yardS and
left his family we'll provided for.
Lottie Bender herself is alleged
to have been an expert milliner
and to have worked in a large
down town establishment. Col
onel Cline is saiu to have prom
iSed to set her up in an estab-
lishment of her own, but be-
fore that time Miss Bender and
her mother moved into ap expen-
siye fiat, furnished and rented by
the millionaire. Afterward there
were reports of an elopement.
