mess was established in 1889. Their facilities
for dsposing of farm produce are the very
best. They are members of the Chamber OF
Commerce, Baltimore, the National Hay As

markets they ship only where the demand
exists. thereby never overstocking the markets,
great advantage to the producer.
They make specially of furnishing every
thing that enters into the construction OF a
building-lum mill work, lime, brick and
cement. All goods are bought from first
hands in carloads.
By their liberal dealing they have built up
the largest trade in this line in center Mary

Will Vote For MahOol.

Mr.. J. Henry Mas, who was judge of the
Orphans Court from 1895 to 1899, having
been elected as a Republican when the late
Lloyd Lowndes was chosen Governor of
Maryland, announced Wednesday that he
proposed to vote the Democratic ticket from
top to bottom.
"My position" said Mr.. Mas today, "can
be stated in very few words. l cannot be-
lieve that Mayor Tmanu can give the city
the kind of an administration it ought to have
as long as his intimacy with W. F. Stone is
such as it is. Nothing could be closer than
the political relations between these two men.
If Timanus should be elected Mayor, the re-
straints that now surround him would be re-
moved, and when left to meet the situation
single handed am confident that he would
fail. The best interests of the city and the
best interests of the Republican party demand
the defeat of Mayor Timanus in the coming
election"

women appeared against James Matthias Will

Jennie Matthews, formerly of Buffalo, N. 7.
Both testified to marrying Williams. There
was score of women present at the hearing
which was held before Magistrate Boyle. De-
tective Bryant said Williams probably has $50
wives, but he swore positively that he knew
of 1s. Williams was held in $1,000 bail on
the charge of bigamy, and Mrs. Tenie Will
liams. said to be his first wife, was held in
$500 bail on the charge of obtaining money by
false pretense.
Mrs. Matthews gave some interesting bits
of testimony throwing sidelight on Williams
method of procuring money from the women
he inveigled into matrimony. She said:
civilians told me that he had property in
New York and California, and that some of
the Western property consisted of mines that
were idle because he was pinched for ready
money with which to operate them. LOANED
him 81, 900 before we were married, and one
day he said he had to go down to New York
to dispose of some of the realty there. He
said might as well go along so that we could
be married, and did. We were married at
Grace Church, Broadway and Tenth street,
by Rev. DR.. Carey on September s, 1902.
That evening he took me to the train, put me
aboard and sent me back to Buffalo,"
"Oh, the bruter' murmured one of the
women in the room. This was followed by
louder EXPLANATIONS as the Buffalonan told
more of her trouble.
'Did you ever live together?" asked Law
yer Thomas Doyle, her counsel.
mo, we did not said Mrs. Matthews, ad-
justing her gold eyeglasses and glaring at Will
iams, who stood smilingly Indifferent at the
end of the bar.
"Never furnished home for you?' queried
Mr.. Doyle.
II guess not" said the stranger "When
he came back from New York he said
he had to 90 West Immediately. | sent him
$500 more while he was in ST. Louis, and |
have the postal receipt for it here"
Detective Bryant swore that Mrs. Matthews
and Miss Friel were but two out of 20 women
he knew Williams had married.
Two hundred offers of marriage were found
among Williams letters.
