BY agreement a case has been made
up in Carroll county to test the validity
of Attorney General Bryan's opinion
that the primary election law heretofore
supposed to apply only to Baltimore
city applies also to the rest of the State,
except where a local primary law pre-
walls. The case was argued before Judge
Thomas on Monday last, who reserved
his decision.
The Poole Gun Club held successful
meet on Thursday of last week, when Mr..
H. Tobias for possession of the Poole
challenge trophy then in the formers
possession. Mr.. Garrettson again won
| the cup on a score of 80 to 81. A large
number of interested spectators were
present from Darlington and Poole. Mr..
Street, Bowman was high gun for the
day, breaking 90 out of 100, making a
: run of As straight.
The case of lanes E. Flynn against
the United Railway and Electric Com
pany of Baltimore city, removed to this
court from Baltimore county, was con-
cluded on Wednesday with verdict of
49, damages for the plaintiff The
case grew out a collision In Canton be-
tween fire engine belonging to Balti-
more county in charge of Mr.. Flynn, and
car of the defendant, when Flynn was
seriously and probably permanently In
jured. Messrs. w. H. Lawrence of Balti-
more county and Thomas H. Robinson
appeared for the plaintiff and state
senator Clarence w. Perkins and Mr.. S.
A. Williams for the railway company.
Two similar cases growing out of this
accident remain to be tried.
Another of the suits of Mr. Frank M |
Reynolds against various fire insurance
companies was tried before Judge Phelps |
in Baltimore few days ago and was
taken from the jury by the judge, who |
at the same time expressed his regret be-
cause the law compelled him to do so,
saying that the company thus put a |
weapon against itself into the hands of
its competitors" The plaintiffs store
at Level, this county, burned down |
eighteen months ago, and payment of
the insurance was resisted because Mr.. |
Reynolds was seven days late in taking |
the inventory of stock, as required by the
policy. The defendant in this case was
the German-American Company of New
York. In one or more similar cases Mr..
Reynolds won, and at least one test case
will be taken to the Court of Appeals.
The Cecil National Bank, at Port
Deposit, is now moving into its new
home, recently completed. The front of
the new structure is of Indiana limestone,
which breaks the sameness incident to
the universal use of native granite. The
building is sufficiently elevated to escape
danger of inundation during ice gorges,
which sometimes happened in the old
banking house, and is ornate in It's de-
sign and complete in its appointments.
The former home of the bank was in the
first story of the Tome mansion. Mr..
Tones widow, now the wife of DR..
France, of Baltimore, who for some years
subsequent to Mr.. Tones death was
president of this bank and the First
bank of Elkton, being the only female
president of national bank, resigned
the position during the past year, sold
her stock and exercised her option under
Mr.. Tones will to require the Tome In
stitute to take over the property at
valuation of 100000. This mansion
will hereafter be used for apartments for
professors and club rooms for the Insti-
tute. Mr.. Edward V. Stockham, the
popular Gamer and fnancier of Perry
man, this county, is now president of the
bank.
