Judges VanBibber and Duncan have
filed an opinion in the case of the Susque-
hanna Power Company against the Nc
| Call Ferry Power Company ct al, deny
ing the right of the defendants to remove
the case to the United States District
Court. This is probably the beginning
of long and tedious litigation, which
may in time even reach the highest court
of our country. 1t will be remembered
that the plaintiff company condemned
certain property of the defendant, which
will be used for the purpose of construct
fSng a power plant on the Susquehanna
river to supply electricity for CONNER
cial purposes. The jury rendered YER
dict for varying amounts to the different
defendants, the Mccall Ferry Power
Company being awarded the largest
sum. Since then, several condo ;nnation
proceedings have been tried before a
Cecil county jury, from which appeals
have been taken.
Mr. Samuel W. Bradford, of Bel Air
contributed an interesting piece of local
history in recent letter to the Evening
News He gives an account of an inter
view between. General Don Plat, a de-
famcr of Lincoln, and his father the late
Augustus w. Bradford, who was the war
governor of Maryland. The chief execu-
tive was very much opposed to the use
OF military at the polls on election day, !
and claimed that the state authority was
paramount. A proclamation to this |
effect had been prepared and Don Plat,
then colonel, getting wind of it, went to
Governor Bradford's house and asked |
him not to publish the same. Upon his
firm refusal, threats of arrest were made.
The governor resented the same by |
promptly ordering the United States
officer fps1n his house. The proclama-
tionwa issued and was distributed all |
over the state in certain parts by special
couriers so as to be read before the cleo
ton.
The Hollingsworth Wheel Company |
has entered into business relations with |
the Hagerstown Spoke and Bending |
Company, and will remove it's plant to
that place about the first ofsthe year.
The Hagerstown company has recently
increased its capital stock from $780,
900 to $15O,OOO and will manufacture
wheels in addition to its present business.
The Holihgsworth wheel Company's
plant, which is large one, will be in
corporated with the new concern, forming
a complete outfit for the purpose above
indicated. The company will take with
it all of its present employees who de-
sire to go, and guarantees them perma-
nent places. 1t is a great pity that this
company is leaving Hartford county, but
it is. claimed that its present location is
no longer profitable on account of COM
petition. The stockholders of this corpo-
ration are Mr.. J. c. Hollingsworth and
his family. They rank among the best
people in our county and their loss will
be seriously felt. Hartford will hate to |
see them go, but we commend their
energy for lettering their business oppor-
tunities.
Sometime during Wednesday night,
the railroad stations at VanBibber, Sew
ell and Belcamp, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, were broken into and
robbed, and an attempt was also, made
to enter the house of Mr. Thomas Mouls-
dale, who lives near by the railroad At
VanBibber, the mail was rihed, but the
only thing that Mr.. ]. J.. Sullivan. the
postmaster, missed was a money order
for ST, which was taken from a letter
At Sewell, Mr.. c. c. Cronin, who is post
master aud agent, lost $50 worth OF
stamps; the mail was also looked over,
but there were no letters containing any
thing of value. At Belcamp. the mail
was gone through, but no letters were
missing. The pay station of the tele-
phone company. and a candy slot ma
chine were both robbed of their contents.
Entrance into the stations was effected
by pricing open windows and doors, and
whoever committed the crimes seem to
have thorough knowledge of the premi-
ses. These stations were robbed three
times last winter; this is the first attempt
since last March. Mr.. c. c. Cronin has
reported the loss to the railroad conn.,
pany and also the the government, and
detectives will at once be put on the case.

jury on Wednesday to serve at the No
