How They Do It in Harford.-The Belair
Democrat of this week says automobiling
through Hartford by strangers as a'pastime
has not been without incidents ofnote the past
week. Friday H. w. Coale, on No; 223 touring
car, passed up the Churchville road at rapid
rate in violation of the law. At Churchville
this car frightened several horses and broke
some carriages. On telephone request he was
halted in Belair by Town Bailif Jackson and
hauled into magistrates court: Unfortu-
nately it was ascertained that Bailiff Jackson
was neither constable nor deputy sheriff and
had do jurisdiction over offences committed
outside the town limits, and the rapid motion
automobile was allowed to go unpublished.
Sheriff Whiteford has decided to prevent such
escapes in future by deputizing Bailif Jackson
who is always at hand and ready for duty.
It is also currently reported that on the same
or following day foreigner coming up theturn:.
pike was met by gentleman driving colt and
asked to stop and let him pass. The automo.
bilist refused, when the driver of the colt drew
his gun on him, punctured tire and compel.
ed a halt. A few more heroic acts of this
character will compel obedience to the law
and add to the safety of travellers on the pub
lie highways.

Handsome New R. r Station at Sher-
wood.-The Northern Central r. R. Company
is about to erect a handsome and commodi-
Gus station at Sherwood The company recent
ly acquired piece of ground on the west side
of the track at that place, and little above the
present station, where the new building will
be erected. The change in location is due to
an unwritten rule of the company to build its
depots on the side of the track where most of
its passengers wait. and as residents of Sher-
wood journey to Baltimore oftener than to
places north of the village, it was decided TO
build it on the west side. At present passen-
gers have to cross the northbound track from
the station in order to board the trains for the
city on the southbound.
The new station will be 6S feet long by "a feet
inches wide, and will be built of stone to the
height Of the window stills on the first floor.
The roof will be of slate. The agents Office
will be in the centre, fronting on the railway
line. and there will be large waiting-room
and baggage-room in the south end while
the north end of the structure and the upper
floor will be used as dwelling by the agent of

Poor Rule That Won't Work Two Ways.
The decision of Justice Grammar. of Balti.
more city, that residents of Baltimore county
who. do business in the city must pay the
wagon license tax, was brought to the atten-
ton of the County Commissioners this week.
1t was suggested that if the residents of the
county must pay license fees for using the city
highways the same rule should be made to ap-
ply to residents of the city who use the roads
of the county for business purposes. Commits
sioner Mann said that he favored having law
passed by the next Legislature for such plan
to be adopted. It was stated that the number
of residents of Baltimore who use the roads of
the county for business purposes far exceeds
the number of residents of the county who use
the streets of the city.

Messrs. Boarman & Lindsay, attorneys for
in the Orphans Court at Towson. caveat to
the will of her uncle, Caleb A. Wilson, who
died several weeks ago at his farm near Glen
Arm, 18th district at an advanced age.
Last week letters testamentary were granted
to Laura M. Beatty, who was named in the
will as executrix. The caveat alleges that the
paper writing purporting to be the last will
and testament of Mr.. Wilson is not his will
and that at the time of the alleged execution
he was not capable of executing valid deed or
contract and did not know or understand the
contents of the same.
Mrs. Norris also alleges in her caveat that
she is niece of the deceased and that she and
Goodwin Wilson, brother, are the only next
of kin and entitled to the estate.
The deceased left a farm of 100 acres near
Glen-Arrn, and q considerable sum of money
and personal property which by the will is de-
vised for life to his brother, Goodwin Wilson,
and then to certain cousins absolutely.
Mrs. Norris also asked that the letters testa-
mentary granted Laura M. Beatty be revoked
and administrators pendente lite be appointed
which the court fixed for hearing on Tuesday
next. She also asked that the sale of the per-
sonal property of the deceased, advertised by
the executrix to take place on Thursday, 9th
instant. be stayed and annulled until the fur
ther order of court, which was granted.

cling and securing the night Waterman, blew
open the safe in the Treasurer's office, securing
about $4,000, most of which belonged to pri-
vate individuals who had placed it there for
safe keeping. Mr.. Larsh sustained quite loss
by this robbery, as he had money in the safe
belonging to himself and sister. Mr.. Larsh
married Miss Arabella G. Webb, daughter of
the late Henry M. Webb, who at that time
owned and conducted the hotel on the York
road about half a mile south of Towson. He

suits. He retired from active work about six

since. The death of Mr.. Larsh wipes out the

M. E. Church will hold its annual May festi-
val in the hall over the engine house, on
Thursday and Friday evenings next, May Attn
and 9th. A tempting supper will be served
each evening and all kinds of refreshments,
fancy articles, etc., will be on sale. A floral
bower will also be an attraction. The money
raised will be devoted to worthy cause:
Because the Baltimore County Water
Company cannot supply any more water in
Towson several houses that were to have been
erected here this spring and summer have been
given up-that is the building of them has been
deferred until such time as water can be fur
nished. People cannot understand why the
company does not secure larger supply.
Surely there must be some way to do this.
THE sale of all the stock on Locust Vale
Stock Farm, Towson (the property having

The injuries sustained by Mr.. T. A. B.
Dukehart in the driving accident at Druid Hill
Park, on Wednesday of last week, were much
more serious than at first reported. In his
efforts to stop the runaway team he was drag
ged some distance and so badly cut about the
head and face that many stitches were required
to close the wounds. The surgeon who at
tended him first thought he would lose an ear,
it having been nearly torn from his head. The
accident was caused by the pole-strap break
ing. Mrs. Frank Zimmerman, who was with
Mr.. Dukehart at the time, was only slightly
hurt.
IAN attempt was made by highwayman
on Friday night of last week to rob Mr.. Abra-
ham Wilhelm, 9Th district huckster. He was
on his way home from Baltimore when a man
he met on the road asked for ride. He took
him in and when near Anderson's shop, oppo-
site Texas, the stranger attempted to assault
and rob him. A struggle ensued during which
the horses took fright and ran away. The
wagon ran against an object at the side of the
pike and both men were thrown out. When
Mr.. Wilhelm came to the stranger had disap-
peared. This is the second experience of the
kind he has had and he escaped both times
without loss.
