Dramatic Scene In Court.-Just as the
Orphans Court was about to declare Joshua
Edward Gwynn, colored, legally dead on
Thursday, Gwynn walked in and stated like
Marx Twain, that the reports of his death had
been much exaggerated. He had been away
from the county for % years, and for long
time his relatives had heard nothing from
him. He is q son of Joshua Gwynn, we'll
known colored man of the Eleventh district,
who died about year ago leaving an estate
worth more than $4,000. Joshua Edward
was one of 12 children and was entitled to an
equal share in the estate. Attorney John s.
Ensor, who was made trustee of the estate, had
heard that Gwynn had entered the United
States Army. and through the War Department
he learned that the wanted man was in the
Tenth Cavalry, now stationed ct Fort Ethan
Allen, VT. Mr. Ensor notified Gwynn and he
obtained leave of absence and came on just in
time to answer the petition of his wife and
son to have him declared legally dead, so that
his share of the estate could be distributed to
them. The wife, who had been deserted
after honeymoon of three weeks. had mar
ried again and promptly sued Gwynn for
$3.50 for keep of their child during his minor
ity. Gwynn, of course, had never seen his
boy, who is now 20 years old and has his home
in Canada. He will fight his wife's claim.
Gwynn wears medals for bravery in fights with
the Indians and Filipinos.

Thinks He Has Struck Gold Mine
Mr.. Caspar Sipple of @. of Gardenville writes
to the Union News as follows: when l re-
turned last week from an interesting visit to
the great works of the McCalPs Ferry Power
Company, on the Susquehsnna river, brought
with me as souvenirs four pieces OF rock weigh
ing together about three-quarters of pound.
One day since my little daughter was playing
with these specimens on the porch while / sat
near looking on. Suddenly picked up one of
the pieces and, to my surprise, saw what l
thought to be streak or vein of gold running
through it. took the specimen to Balti-
more jeweer who, after applying the usual
tests, said it was pure gold and that the speci-
men was worth 55 cents. l know exactly
where picked the small pieces from the rock
and l am going back there ITO do some
prospecting. / think l shall camp there for o
month"
Sparrows Point Smashes Records.-The
blast furnaces at Sparrows Point broke all
records on Wednesday for three furnaces by
making 1,108 tons of pig iron in one day, or
an average of 1863 tons each. This does not
mean, however, that this tonnage is the largest
amount ever procured in one day as when the
four furnaces are in blast they make much
larger tonnage. Only three furnaces have been
in blast for several months, and Wednesday
was the record for this period. The fourth fur
mace will be put in blast shortly, giving en-
ployment to about $50 men.

"Timonium to the Fore. Under this cap.
ton the Baltimore American of Wednesdaysaid
editorially: when Timonium opens there
is a futter of interest that runs as a wave
throughout Baltimore county, and its vibra-
tions can be keenly felt in the adjacent counties
and Baltimore city. That flutter of interest is
now agitating a great many people. Those
who have never attended this annual event in
which the display of horses, cattle, poultry;
produce, preserves, pretty girls and genial and
wholehearted farmers, with a sprinkling OF
politicians and preachers, make bewildering
panorama of color and animation, do not
realize what really great event the Baltimore
County Fair is.
"As matter Of fact these periodical exposi-
tions of the farmers are one of the finest inspi-
rations to good work in the various lines Of
rural activity that can be had. They enable
those whose interest lies in keeping abreast OF
the very best improvements in farming and
trucking, in cattle raising, in horse breeding
in poultry production and dairy activities to
compare notes and to take account Of what
others are doing The display of mechanical
and other appliances and models compete with
the big pumpkin and the mammoth ear OF
corn and the four-footed duck in interest. SO.
that either for beneficial points or sociabllity
and entertainment, there are few things that
take the lead of county fair and in this class
Timonium stands to the fore"
