BUILDING BOOM IN MARYLAND
LOWER SECTION OF MoNTGoM.
cry COUNTY VERY ACTIVE.
Many Costly Residences to Be Erect
ed Soon in Bethesda and
Wheaton Districts n
Special Correspondence Of The. Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE Md, February II. 1900
There is every indication that there ~
going to be A remarkable building boom
in the lower section of Montgomery coun-
ty the coming spring and summer. For
the last few months building lots in Be
thesda and Wheaton districts have been
changing hands with rapidly. and II is
said that nearly every one Of these sites
will be adorned by handsome residence
before many months.
The greatest activity in the building line
is expected At Chevy Chase. where the
Chevy Chase Land Company has recently
been doing a lively business in the lot
selling line 1t is stated that plans are
out for the erection Of more than fifty
handsome homes in that subdivision.
while A number are already in course OF
construction there None OF these build
ings will cost less than $500. while tho
great majority will be much more ex-
pensive.
In Vicinity Of Bethesda.
1t is understood that a large number OF
residences will also be erected in the VI
cinity Of Bethesda, and it is also stated
that there will be considerable building
done in the lower section of Wheaton
district. n DullQeF To-Day predicted inc
erection of at least 100 buildings in Be-
thesda and Wheaton districts within tho
next twelve months.
That Montgomery county has an attract
i've future is generally recognized, Within
recent years the erection OF residences In
Bethesda and Wheaton districts has re-
suited in a big increase In the taxable
basis Of that section Of the county, but, In
the opinion of well posted people. what has
occurred there in the building line Is but
a drop in the bucket compared with what
the future has in store
Encouragement Is Needed.
If the county commissioners would
recognize what the development OF the
Bethesda and Wheaton neighborhceds
means to the whole county. and give en-
couragement in the way OF better roads
and other improvements commensurate
with the taxes paid by these sections into
the county treasury, II is declared, there
Is believed to be little doubt that new
homes would go up with even greater
rapidity. and that it would not be very
long before the entire lower section OF
Montgomery county would be looked upon
as really a part Of Washington city.
Under an act of the last legislature.
the county commissioners are required to
keep a record of the tax receipts and road
expenditures by election districts. The
chief argument now used by residents OF
the lower section of the county who do
not think they are getting LII due them in
the way OF improvements 10 to invite COM
parison of the books.

many other incidents do. the tender COM
passion OF his nature.
Mr.. Catlin says that Mr. and Mrs. VIII
liam B. Pier lived in Wayne township.
near Cory. Erie county. Pa. at the out
break of the war. and had three sons.
Two of them were at college when Lin.
coin called for troops. They enlisted
promptly and went to the front. One
was killed In battle. the other died in \
hospital at Washington.
The third son. Anderson Pier. was mar
ried and living with his wife and family
of small children in lumber camp in
northern Michigan. Learning that he had
been drafted to I'LL the quota OF that
state. he took his family farther back
into the forest where he was beyond the
reach of the provost marshal. and after
the officials had searched for him for
time without success he was officially
declared a deserter.
This fact coming to the knowledge OF
his father and mother on their PennsHl-
vania farm caused great distress. and
knowing the terrible severity OF the law
concerning deserters, Mrs. Pier. The
mother. wrote the nurse who had taken
care OF her second son in the hospital at
Washington. asking her to intercede with
Presiden: Lincoln to save Anderson. her
last hoy. from the penalty of desertlcu.
and if possible to secure order strtk'lS
his name from the list OF the drafted on
the ground that his family nee ded rs
support. She asked the nurse 10 eNpla
that she had already given TWO sons 10
her country. and felt that she had done
her share.
In answer to this appeal President In
coin wrote a rather severe letter To MIS-
Pier which was forwarded by the HANDS
of the nurse. explaining that the ORA IL
was necessary to provide soldiers Tor me
army and that men who were drafted
had an opportunity to escape service ny
paving for substitutes. Ii she was Will
ing to send him 800 10 pay for sub
stitute for her son. he would see that the,
latter was released from the penalty OF
desertion and allowed to remain With has
family in Michigan.
Mrs. Pier thought this was very cruel
condition to be exacted from mother
who had already sacrificed two sons
for her country. and that 1t was Ners
unlike the generous, tender-hearted
man that She had supposed president
Lincoln TO he. But Mr.. Pier managed
to raise the money and through the
nurse forwarded draft for $500. PAY =
able to Abraham Lincoln. with for
NAL request that this suggestion 10
carried out. and a hope that full phr-
don might he issued for Anderson Pier
Almost by return mail the pard6 4
reached the farmhouse near Cory. an
with il the draft for $500 was returned
with an explanation that the demand
had not been made in earnest, but
| merely az test OF sincerity.

CIRCUS ATTACHES MARRIED
Trapeze Performer and Aerial Queen
Married by Local Justice

r Only few people who attended the
circus performance Thursday evening
were aware that the little girl who
formed the lower central figure in the
great aerial pendant act was newly
made bride, but such was the case.
She became the bride on Thursday after
noon of Evert Jacobs, trapeze per-
former who appeared in the south ring
clad in light pink tights just before the
aerial act was put on, and during the
time the women chung to the bar at the
lower end of the ropes by their teeth he
stood at the entrance and watched every
move and whirl that was made by that
one lower central figure, and when she
was lowered to the ground at the end
of the act and was supported for a mo-
ment by the lady attendant, he stepped
forward a dozen PAGES toward the ring,
as it was plainly evident to all that she
had become dizzy by the whirling of her
body in the air.
The girl was Dorothy Moss, not 10
years of age, and when she appeared be-
fore assistant clerk John Horning in the
afternoon her youthful appearance
caused him to question her regarding
her age. When she admitted that she
was not vet of legal age to marry with
out her parents consent and saw his
head move negatively she produced a
letter from her mother which contained
the maternal sanction to the matrimonial
ceremony being performed and the Ii
