Lost Brother Still Missing.


Judge Austin L. Crothers, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, has lost brother. For
over twenty years nothing has been heard Of
him. He was then in California and was pros
pering. 1t was thought the nomination of Judge
Crothers for Governor would be so widely dis
seminated that 1t would attract the attention of
the missing Crothers and would bring to Mary
land some news of him. but nothing has been
heard. His Maryland relatives are beginning to
look upon him as having gone to join the great
majority. His name is William E. Crothers. He
is several years older than the Democratic can
didate for Governor. He left his home, in Cecil
county, "a years ago and wandered West. Mr..
James G. Bell, OF Cecil. while in California over
20 years ago saw him. He was then doing well and
sent kind remembrances to the old folks at home.
There was no estrangement. 1t was case in
which the wanderer severed all family ties. He
was a carDenter.

No Electric Line for Timonium-At
Least Not for Some Time.-The project Of
the United Railways and Electric Company of
building an electric road from Towson through
Luthervile and Timonium to COckeysville is
held in allegiance for the present. Indeed, the
project may be said to have been abandoned
for the time being. President House said on
Tuesday that after a careful investigation of
the country through which the proposed line
was to go and considering all other difficulties
to be encountered, it was not at this time
thought to be feasible or paying venture for
his company to undertake.
He pointed out the fact that the Northern
Central Railway now furnishes this section with
frequent trains. Experience has shown, he
says, that when electric roads begin to COM
pete with steam roads for long hauls the last
named, being already equipped for operation,
both increases the train service and reduces
the fare so as to prevent road electrically
operated from deriving any profit on the capi-
tai required in constructing and equipping a
road through sparsely settled section. Pres
dent House indicated that the subject had been
fully studied from all standpoints and that the
country through which the suggested electric
road would pass is not yet sufficiently popua-
ted to assure success in continuous operation.
That it would not pay to build an electric
road to serve the Timonium fair traffic, only
once a year, is admitted The residents of
Lutherville and Cockeysville, it was pointed
out, have been so accustomed to the railroad
service that they are not likely to abandon it,
particularly if special privileges were granted
to meet the competition of an electrically equip
ped line
This proposed extension of the York road
line was surveyed during the incumbency of
the late Gen. John M. Hood as president of
the United system. 1t was intended to build
and operate it under the charter of the Mary
land Electric Railways Company, which the
United controls.
The exfension az far as Iufherville at least
was strongly urged by the residents in that
vicinity, one of its most earnest advocates
being the late T. Edward Hambleton.
The recent action of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, through the Northern Central, in insist
ing upon full mileage rate from visitors to
the Timonium fair brought to the front again
the proposed electric project It was known
that this had been outlined and preliminary
surveys made. This was done more than
year ago. Since then the matter has been al
lowed to rest, and may now, as stated, be
wholly abandoned.

Boy Accidently Shot.-Delma Harmon,
the i3.year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Harmon, of Mount Washington, was acct

by Harry Russell, on Charles Street avenue,
near Woodbrook, while playing with rife.
Young Russell, who was in company with
Harmon, was trying to extricate a loaded
cartridge from the rife, when it went off.
The bullet entered Harmon's body just below
the heart. He was removed to the Union
Protestant Infirmary where he lies in criti-
cal condition.

Property Owners Well Pleased Over
Falls Road Acceptance.-On Monday night
last an enthusiastic meeting of number of
residents and property owners of Mt. Wash.
ington and vicinity was held at the home of
MI. Patrick Mcmahon to discuss what steps
should be taken for the immediate improve
ment of the Falls road which was last week
taken over by the county. Mr.. John McPhail
was chosen chairman and Mr.. William B.
Sands, secretary. Mr.. John Mcmahon read
paper fully explaining the condition of the
road and pointing out the necessity of imme-
diate repairs. In an address by Mr. Charles G.
McColgan, large property.owner along the
Falls road at Bare Hills, and also owner of
several stone quarries conveniently located
along the highway, he stated that he would be
pleased TO place at the county's disposal the
use of the stone in his quarries for macadamiz-
ing the road and repairing the bridges free of
cost.
Z Resolutions were adopted returning thanks
to the County Commissioners for their action
in accepting the road as a public highway and
urging that immediate and substantial repairs
be made to it. A committee, composed of
Messrs. VIM. B. Sands, John Mcmahon, John
McPhail, Charles Kaste, John s. Ensor, Charles
C. McCogan and DR.. Garrett was appointed
to present the resolutions to the County Com
missioners.

The Pony Race at Pimlico.-The princi-
pal event of the second day card ofthe United
Hunts meeting at Pimlico from local point
of view was the opening dash for ponies. The
race at about quarter of mile was both
amusing and exciting and of the four starters
everyone but Lady Gay, the winner, ran away.
While al the post Topsy, the favorite, the
entry of r. j. Walden, broke away from the
start and made circle of the track twice.
Wanda, the entry of Miss Rebecca Diffenderf-
fer, ran off three times. Buster Brown was
also not to be left out of the misdoings and
made rush to the wire. Finally, after many
false starts, the race was on though Topsy's
rider evidently believed it was no start, as he
pulled his mount to the outside, losing cou-
pie of lengths. Of course, Lady Gay was the
freshest, and she won all the way, though
Topsy was right at her heels at the finish.
Two of the ponies were ridden by soDs of Mr..
George w. Ewing. of Green Spring Valley.
Wanda's Jockey was David Sellers Stirling,
aged II years, SON of Mr.. G. Howard Stirling.
