On Saturday evening, Michael NJ.
Sullivan, hostler at the Changers Hotel,
Bel Air, fell from the hay NOW down on
the stable floor and broke his neck. He
had been in the employ of Mr.. Forwood,
the proprietor for about two months,
but had quit work, preparatory to going
to Atlantic City where he said that he
had a regular job each summer. The
man was about SO years of age, and
native of Boston, Massachusetts, where
his father now resides. His remains were
inferred in the cemetery of ST. Ignatius'
Church on Monday. Acting coroner
Richardson held an inquest, wholly un-
necessary proceeding. which only added
to the taxes of the county. The jury
rendered a verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
Under a law passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, County Clerk
Forwood has commenced recording lot
of papers affecting titles to property in
this county that are relics of the admins
tration of former clerks. These papers
should have been recorded years ago. but
the work was neglected, although it is
more than probable that the clerks have
collected the money for the expense. Mr..
Forwood has also purchased consider
able office furniture, which will be paid
for out of excess of fees. This necessary
expense will not fall directly on the tax
payers as the amount would have gone
back to the State of Maryland, returning
only infnitesimal sums. There is nothing
so important as the preservation of the
titles to real property, and every possible
safeguard should surround their keeping
The county commissioners of Hartford
county have filed petition in the Will
liam Woolsey estate, setting forth that |
the work of macadamizing the Bel Air
and Havre de Grace road has been COM
pleted, and that under the terms of the
will they are entitled to receive the unex- |
pended sum of money that was left over
after the improvement of the Bel Air and
Churchville road. The trustees in the |
will, Messrs. John Moores, Alexander S.
Bell and S. A. Williams, assent in the Pc
tition, and Judge Duncan passed an order
refe rring the case to the auditor for dispo- |
sition of the funds still remaining in the |
hands of the trustees. This road will |
take all of the balance left by Mr. Wool
sey. Proceedings similar to the above
have been taken in the estate of Miss Re-
becca Woolsey, regarding the roads that
she provided should be improved out of
her estate.
The will of Sarah J. Almony has been
probated by Register Bay. She leaves

The case of James L. Breese, against
Della Walker and others, a action for re-
Stitution, has been on trial before Justice |
A. Lyle for three days. 1t was claimed |
by the PLAINTIFF who is the owner of |
Darlington farm, recently purchased from
S. Griffith Davis and others, and tenanted |
by the defendants, that the lease for the
property expired on the 18th day of
March 1906. The petition also sets
forth that due notice had also been given
the defendants to quit at the end of their
tenancy. The defense was that the lease
had been verbally renewed by Mr. Davis |
and testimony was given to this effect.
This case has attracted considerable at
tention because of the points involved,
the question of landlord and tenant
always being of interest to everybody.
Messrs. S. A. Williams and Michael H.
Fahey appeared for the plaintiff and John
S. Young and S. E. Penning for the de-
PENDANTS. Justice Lyle decided the case
in favor of the plaintiff.
