about bad roads. A few days of wet weather

THE United Railways and Electric Com
pany Is already having plans prepared for an
other car barn to replace the Waverly build
ings recently destroyed by fire. It is said the
new barn. which will cost over 800 900, will
be built on the company's property opposite
the Govanstown toll-gate, where the old horse
car barn formerly stood. The company owns
six acres of ground at that point. :.
MIG. Frank Morgan, the well known
Dulany's Valley miller, who was in Towson
on Monday, says he expects his mill will be
wiped off the map when the big scheme of
Baltimore city to enlarge its Gunpowder water
supply is carried out. He was born on the
farm where he has spent bis entire life, and no
doubt he would give up the place with much
reluctance should he be required to do so.
>It has been long time since Towson has
seen such crowd as that which assembled here
on Monday on account of the Winder murder
triaK They came from almost every section
of/the county and packed the court room to
shffocation. Scores who came here could not
/even get their heads in the DOORS much less
their bodies, and had to go away disappointed.
Few cases in this county have excited so much
interest as this one.
ION the 23d of December gentleman adj
vertised in The UNION for a farm along the
Northern Central Railway, south of Bentley
Springs, the replies to be addressed in our care.
Since then we have received more than twenty
letters in answer to the advertisement, but not
all of them from along the line of the North
ern Central. If the advertiser cannot be pleas.
ed with what has been submitted to him he
must be hard to suit.
->It has been rumored in Towson since the
Winder murder trial on Monday that had there
been the,slightest hitch in the proceedings in
that case that the negroes would have been
takeN from the court room and hanged. 1t is
said that this matter was well understood by
number of men who were in the crowded court
room. and that they came here with this object
in view. OF course we do not vouch for the
truthfulness of this story.
Zone of the largest public sales of the
present season will be that of Mr.. A. E. Nc
Cam, which will take place on the Cloverdae
Farm, at Melvale, N. c. r. R., on the 22d of
March next, and which will be advertised in
THE UNION on the Oath of February. Mr.. Nc
Cam has been carrying on an extensive dairy
business there for the past five years and now
is Obliged to give up because the farm is to be
cut up into building sites, the location being
fine for that purpose.
- The stories that some of the Baltimore
papers have been printing about the proposed
increased water supply from the Gunpowder
are very funny. One says that the village of
Sweet Air will be obliterated, when, as a mat
ter of fact, the nearest point of the new lake to
that place will be at least four miles. The
same paper conveys the idea that the cotton
mill at Phoenix is in operation, when not
wheel in it has turned for several years, the
property having long since been abandoned
by the company.
- About four years ago an active young
man bought Baltimore county farm of some
thing over 80 acres and was able to pay for it,
after stocking it in small way, all but 81 200.
He has now paid off all of the mortgage ex-
cept $3.50, and will be ready to meet that when
it comes due shortly. In addition to this he
has twice the amount of stock he had when he
commenced business. Asked how he had ac-
complished all this in so short time he re-
piled: Staying at home. working and attend
ing to my own business"
Mrs. s. Maria Scott. of Baltimore, called
at THE UNION office on Wednesday and clearly
established the fact that she did not write the
letter from the 9Th district published in this
paper in its issue of January 9th. The letter
in question, which proved offensive to the
principal of the public school at Rayville, was
written by someone who signed Mrs. Scott's
name and with the evident intention of deceiv-
ing the editors and at the same time, in an
underhand way, rejecting upon Prof. Shaver
for some sinister purpose. A person who would
do such an act must be of pretty low order.
Will Try to Break Will of Mrs. Sinsz.-
Mrs. Christine Philippi has fled petition in
the Orphans Court of Baltimore city for the
revocation of the letters granted Philip P. Auer
on the estate of her sister-in-law thelate Mrs.
Rosina Sinsz.
The petition states that Mrs. Philippi was
sister of Mrs. Sinsz's husband. George Philip

death one.third to Mrs. Phlippi. Mrs. Sinsz
died December oath last, and it is alleged that
by her will she attempted to cut off Mrs. Philip
pi from participating in the estate of Mr.. Sinsz.
The will of Mrs .Sinsz is dated December oath,
1903. 1t is alleged that it was procured by
