"A delegation of the Towson Elks
visited St. Ignatius Church, Hickory, on
Sunday morning, and decorated the
graves of the late w. Smthson Forwood
and DR.. F. F. Forwood. An appropriate
address was delivered by Mr.. William
| Grason. The music of the choir at St.
Ignatius' was favorably commented
upon by the visitors. There is probably
hat Tor n,Tnranatinn Cf CO in, ba
county, and the services Of Whit Sunday
were made much more impressive by the
excellent work of its members.
On Monday, the case of Jennie
Daugherty vs.. the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and the Mayor and City
Council OF Havre de Grace, was taken up
before Judge VanBibber and the jury.
This was an action to recover SIS, 900
damages caused by a runaway horse,
which the plaintiff claimed was scared
while passing one of the piers of the Penn
sylvan railroad bridge at Havre de Grace
which was in course of erection. The |
jury rendered sealed verdict for the de- |
fendants on Thursday morning. Fahey, |
Brown and Young for the plaintiff, and
Robinson and Chamberlain for the de- |
PENDANTS.
The new timetable of the MARYLAND |
and Pennsylvania railroad is ideal. We |
would like to make one exception, but |
when the general manager. Mr.. J. S Nor
ris, has gone so far in trying TO meet the
wants of his patrons, it ought to be &C.
cepted in the same spirit. Increased |
travel has followed it's adoption nearly |
two weeks ago, and we believe that the
public will soon appreciate the change in
sufficient numbers TO justify the continu-
ance. Railroad companies are frequently |
compelled to do business at loss, look
ing to the future for a recompeuse The
present time table of the Maryland and
Pennsylvania railroad is not a paying
one, yet the company feels that time will
justify its continuance. The improved
service between Bel Air and Delta is par
ticularly appreciated.
"A meeting of persons interested in
the organization of choral association
in Bel Air was held in the NJ. p Church
on Monday evening; Rev. S. S. Greenwich
presiding. Upon taking the chair, Mr..
Greenwell explained the objects of the
meeting, and short addresses were also |
made by Rev. c. X. McCaslin, J. Law
renee Mccormick, Charles H. McComas
and Mr.. Robarts. In the request for
membership, twenty-six names were en-
rolled, and those agreed to form COM
mittee each to bring one name additional
at the next meeting. Since then the neces.
sary number to make it go has been
secured. This is a rare chance for the
people of Bel Air to have music of high |
order, and the opportunity of getting |
Mr.. Robarts as leader is one that should |
be taken advantage of as such chances
do not come often to a small town.
"A meeting of the residents of Joppa,
held on Wednesday afternoon of last |
week. resulted in the organization of the
Joppa Improvement Association of Har-
ford county. This association has as

bring together the residents of the neigh
borhood who will have in view the gen.
eral promotion of the welfare of that Sec

of the public roads in that locality. The |
association will be incorporated and the
following officers will manageits affairs

The sous of the late John H. Fisher
by recent act erected monument to
the memory of their late father which
will be more enduring than a shaft of
marble. AS is we'll known to Mr.. Fishers
many friends, he met with business re-
verses before his death and was compel
led to make an assignment. Included in
! his creditors were 4 number of people of
Bel Air who had endorsed his notes for
considerable amounts. There was life
insurance policy in fraternal organiza-
ton which was payable under the rules
of the company to the closest next of kin.
This sum, which amounted to So 900,
could not have been diverted for any
other purposes except with the consent
of his boys. From the above sum, Mr..
Harry S. Carver, attorney, on Monday
gave checks to every endorser of MIR.
Fishers promissory notes for the full
amount with interest, thereby carrying
out the wishes expressed on his deathbed.
This act is worthy of special mention,
and it gives us pleasure to record the
deed in memory of Mr.. Fishers honor
and integrity.
