Suit For $40, 900 Damages.

A novel claim for damages is made in
suit filed in the Superior Court, Baltimore,
by Francis N. Price against Mrs. Clara
Schamleffer, of Baltimore, to recover the
share of the estate of his brother, the late
William T. Price, of Hartford county,
which, he alleges, he would have received
had Mrs. Schamleffer not prevented his
brother from revoking will he had
made The suit was brought to recover
SEQ, 900 damages.
William T. Price, the declaration states,
died in Baltimore in 1907, leaving an es-
tate valued at $4,000. Had he died in
testate, it is alleged, Francis N. Price
would have been entitled to half the real
property and one-seventh the personal
property of his brother. A few months
before the death of William T. Price, it is I
alleged, Mrs. Schamleffer had obtained
from him will giving her almost all his
property. Having discovered his error in
making his will, it is also alleged, Will
liam T. Price determined to employ some
person to have it destroyed, so that he
would die intestate.
Being aware of Mr.. Prices intention, it
is alleged, Mrs. Schamleffer, in whose
house he died, kept him locked in room,
so that the person employed by Mr.. Price
could neither see him nor get message
to him.
William T. Price was native of Har-
ford county. His will was sustained by
the verdict of jury in the Superior
Court, Baltimore, on May 2s last.-Havre
de Grace Ledger.

Assembly of Maryland with stationery

WITH TEAM
Crazy Escapade OF Youth With
Mrs. Elizabeth Llncoln's Team.
COMMITTED TO REFoRMAToRy.

While Mrs. Elizabeth Lincoln was shop
ping at Bufingtons store on last Satur-
day afternoon strange boy who had

time unhitched the horse from the rail in
front of the store and jumping into the
buggy drove off toward Fremont at
rapid rate. The team was missed in
few minutes and pursuit Immediately be-
gun. He was reported from various
directions during the afternoon by persons
driving along the roads and in the eve
ming the abandoned team was found in
the road, at the Steele farm, near West
Nottingham, by Samuel Rowland. The
buggy top was missing and the horse
showed the effects of hard driving.

ployed by Wilson Kimble. The tale the
boy told to Magistrate Taylor was that he
wanted to get his. clothes which were at

Church Dispute Settled.

The Wesley church controversy, which
has been in the Court for several months
and in which further proceedings were
contemplated in the near future, has been
brought to an abrupt ending by the Board
of Trustees in special session deciding to
turn over the church and all the financial
obligations to the complainants, they to
assume everything in the way OF indebt-
edness.
This action was taken after careful de-
liberation and in consequence of the fact
that the larger part of the membership of
Wesley Church already had joined the
Peoples Church, of which Rev. w. A.
Lightbourne, the deposed pastor of Wes-
ley Church, is the minister.
BY the decision of the trustees, Rev. E.
L. Hoffecker will assume charge of the
pulpit of Wesley Church, possibly next
Sunday, and may at once move into the
parsonage, which has been vacant since
last March. The amicable settlement of
the affair is looked upon as the best way
out of an annoying condition of affairs.
Within few days all the affairs of
Wesley Church, so far as the present
officials are concerned, will be settled and
the seven trustees will resign, giving way
to others to be elected. The church is
located at Dover, Del, and the dispute
arose through the deposing by Conference
of Rev. A. w. Lightbourne, from its
pastorate.
