against the Western Maryland Railroad Com
pany for damages for personal injuries, which
began last Monday in the Superior Court,

Miller was railway postal clerk. He was
injured in a wreck on the road ofthe company,
June II, 1905. near Patapsco. when 26 per-

He brought suit for $40, 900 damages. The
facts in the case were admitted, the only con.
tention being the amount of settlement.
The testimony of DR.. J. C. Medders caused
something of sensation in the courtroom.
He declared that two other cases arising out
of the same wreck-that of Mrs. Gresham and
Mrs. Kelly against the railroad company
were settled over his head by Attorneys Gather
& Greenbaum. He said that they had filed a
plea to his declaration in the suits, and then
made the settlement, one of them signing as
attorney for the plaintiffs and the other as
attorney for the railroad. Mr.. james M.
Mitchell, of this city, was one of the witnesses,
and exhibited to the jury number of the
photographs taken by him during the wreck.

more than their share of sickness. Last week
there were eight members of the family bed
fast. several being low with pneumonia.
The postage question is being agitated
everywhere. A great Improvement would be
a parcels post and people everywhere would
appreciate penny letter postage.
We notice in local papers that different
localities are expecting the trolley line to pass
through. 1t is easy to anticipate but not so
easy to realize.
Changeable weather, no doubt, accounts
for the many cases of sickness throughout the
country.
We have not yet lost interest in our railroad
that will be extended sooner or later. We
learn that the mining company in Bachman's
Valley are still pushing the project.
We are having genuine taste of winter as
this is being written.
