Nothing More Wanted About This Place.
One of my good friends among the realty
dealers, (says the man who writes Local Notes.
for the Baltimore Nea0S,) whose name is so re-
sponsible that he doesn't want it mentioned.
recently wrote a Charles street friend in re-
spouse to an inquiry about piece of property,
and got this copy of the letter:
M Dear Charlie The property you inquire
about is the Paradise of the State. The Ara
bian Night" story is pigmy beside it. The
soil is so kind and fertile that it yields all sorts
of crops; no manual labor required. Push an
electric button and you get what you want IN
fruits and vegetables of all kinds, ready for the
table, General Washington stopped at the
Mansion over night on his way to Valley
Forge, and as q result the air, society, water
and everything are so absolutely good that the
owner is considering removing the place from
Baltimore county to more suitable location,
where Fred. Talbot ceases from troubling,
where Yellott is at rest and where the Amend
ment is dead issue.
The Mansion and buildings have all modern
Improvements, including Q Mansard roof and
an up-to-date mortgage. No real estate broker
has ever cast his whitening shadow on this
modern Garden of Eden, which accounts for
its magnifcence. If you want the property l
will throw in all the surrounding country as
lawn, over which you may browse at pleasure,
within the normal restrictions of keep-off-the-
grass signs.

The trial of the caveat to the will of Jehu
Williams, late of the 10th district, occupied the
attention Of the court the greater part OF the
week, and the jury on Thursday rendered
verdict in favor of the caveatee.
Judge Duncan announced on Tuesday. that,
in accordance with the almost unanimous re-
quest of the members of the bar. the court will
adjourn December 18th until January I'd.
Building Association Election.-Cowen
ton Building Association No. 4, of Baltimore
county, at its annual meeting held on Tuesday
night, elected the following officers for the
ensuing year: President, James r. Porter;
vice president George B. Moore; secretary,
Walter G. Gambrill; treasurer, James A:
Francis; board of directors, these officers and
David A. Kenney, Joseph Hollands, Charles
G. Francis. Gilbert Smith, John Vincent,
Frederick Myers, John l.. Tremper and George
Kline; counsel, Charles Pelert. The board
subsequently, elected Joseph Hollands, comp.
troller, and Messrs. Kenney and Hollands and
James A. Francis, finance committee.
The association declared a semi annual divi-
dend of per cent. 1t has cash on hand
amounting to nearly 5000.
Don't Like the Road Law.-The Belair
Times of last week said: 1T is said that the
State Road Engineer estimated the cost of con-
structing the Fallston road at $1,000 per mile,
while the actual cost has been about 50, 600 per
mile. The State furnishes its part of the cost,
based upon the estimate Of the Road Engineer,
and thus it turns out that instead of furnishing
one.half the cost we get only Onc-third. Our
people want good roads but no surer plan to
chill their interest in the subject could be de-
vised than to run the cost up to such excessive
figures. We understand the County Commits
sioners are helpless under the terms of the
Shoemaker road law and that, after making
reouisition for State aid, are at the mercy Of
the Road Engineer"
