HAVRE DE GRACE MAYORALITY
MIDDLE.
Mayor And City Council Threat
ened With Arrest For Con-
tempt of Court.

The Mayorality muddle in Havre
de Grace continues, affairs be-
coming more mixed apparently,
each week, a majority of the
} Council now threatened with arrest
for contempt of court for taking
charge of the City Government, in
spite of injunction proceedings.
The wrangle dates back to the
first charter of the city. There has
always been division of senti-
ment in regard to local government,
but not on party lines. At one
time the fight was between Acting
Mayor G. G. Pusey and Cashier
Robert K. Vanneman, but repeated
defeats of the latter and the ap-
pointment of the former as Assist
ant United States Treasurer in
Baltimore has shifted leadership.
The candidates at this springs
election were Charles T. Wilson
and Isaac Hecht. The former was
member of the Supervisors of
Elections, and it is claimed was
ineligible because the law so ex-
pressly provides. A writ of man
damus was applied for before the
election to compel the Supervisors
of Election to put only the name of
Mr.. Hecht on the official ballot.
This was refused by Judge Van
Bibber, who, in passing upon the
order, did not hesitate to say that
Mr.. Wilson was ineligible, but that
the proper proceeding had not
been brought to get the question
properly before the Court.
Both names went on the official
ballot and Mr.. Wilson received
majority of the votes. The act
incorporating Havre de Grace
lodges all election disputes in the
Circuit Court for Hartford County
for final adjudication, and Mr..
Hecht and several other citizens
promptly took an appeal. Pending
the hearing of this an injunction
was asked for and issued restrain
ing Mayor G. Q. Pusey from turn
ing over the Office to Charles I.
Wilson and certain members of
the City Council from confirming
any appointments. In spite of the
injunction Chas. T. Wilson has
taken the oath of Office and made
appointments for the conduct of
the city government. Judge Van
Bibber will hear the case on July

Lad Takes A Tramp.

Fifteen year-old Clarence Gully
gave his father, johnson Gully,
several very uneasy days last week.
Young Gully attends Tome Insti-
tute and at the close of its session
the boy thought he would like to
spend the summer on a farm. So
his father obtained a place for him
on the farm of Miss Ida Hutchinson,
near Elkview. The boy seemed
very well pleased with his lot until
Wednesday. He had been work
ing the garden and came into the
house for a short respite. Miss
Hutchinson saw him going toward
the road few minutes later but
thought nothing more of it until
noon, when it was found the boy
had disappeared.
He had not taken any of his
clothes and was without a coat.
No trace of him could be
found, and his father, being i'm
mediately notified, spent that day
and the next searching the country
for him. None of the neighbors
had seen him go and not the least
clue could be obtained of his where
abouts. Saturday morning, how
ever, he turned up at his aunt's
Mrs. Harris, of Port Deposit. He
had walked to Rising Sun, the first
day, stayed there all night and
walked on to Port. He could give
no reason for his action. The boy
will be allowed to stay at Port De-
posit for a short time if not al
gether.-Oxford News.

Reckless Driving.

On Friday evening last, at about
s o'clock, Leroy Reynolds, of near
town, while driving his horse on
the streets of the town in most
reckless manner, ran over John
Sergeant, who was crossing the
street at Cooney's restaurant,
knocking him down, and severely
injuring him about the head and
shoulders, his face being badly cut
and bruised, and while he fortu-
nately was not seriously injured
he was very painfully hurt. Such
recklessness as that exhibited by
young Reynolds should be dealt
with by our town authorities, and
a good stiff fine administered,
which would have tendency to
make such careless drivers pay
some attention to foot passengers,
and not endanger life and limy by
their recklessness.

OBJECT TO CLOSING ROAD.
Drumore Township Residents Op-
posed to Vacating public Road.

Quite spirited meeting was
held at Fishing Creek Tuesday, it
being called for the purpose of
vacating the public road along the
river from Fite's Eddy to Benton
Station. About one hundred and
fifty persons were present. The
road in question has been filled in
for good part of the distance, by
Kerbaugh Co., in the construction
of the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad whose track has been
moved a considerable distance
higher on the hills, largely necess-
itated by the building of the dam
at Mccall Ferry.
No encouragement for the closing
of this road was received at this
meeting, the citizens of Drumore
township, through whose township
the road runs, desiring to have a
public road at this point. They
had engaged Attorney Keller, of
Lancaster, to be present at the
meeting, the railroad company
being represented by several
lawyers.
Unless later developments change
matters the railroad company will
have to open a public road for
travel at this place.-Quarryville
