Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1909-07-17

Snow Hill is to have an ice factory.
The lot upon which it is to be located
was purchased Of Mr.. Thomas z. john
son by the A. E. Barnes Company, real
estate agents of this town, for Mr..
Peter c. Lonand, of Milton, Del. Mr..
Lohand has had experience in running
ice plants and has looked well into the
matter regarding the location Of one in
this town. He has made arrangements to
construct his plant Immediately and has
ordered the machinery for the same,
proposing to have the plant in running
order by September 18th. The site is
coated on the ID. M. & v. Railroad.
adjoining the Snow Hill Butter Dish
& Basket Co. Is factory.
Last Friday evening as w. G.
Collnson was returning home from
Milford. Del. with two-horse wagon
loaded with phosphate and was crossing
the NJ. ID. & V. Railroad at what is
known as Cullentown cut, about mile
north of Milford the front wheel drop
ped and let the wagon down on the
railroad track. The Rehoboth express
was coming, and seeing that he could
not get his wagon from the track, MIR.
Collinson tried to flag the train, but it
was too near and the grade too stiff.
The locomotive ran into the team,
killing both horses. and mangling one
so badly that it took half an hour to get
the fragments out of the machinery.
The loss to the owner of the team
amounted to about 5000.
Councilman Ernest Burbage, of
Berlin, was caller at the MESSENGER
Office last Thursday. Mr.. Burbage was
representing the town of Berlin in an
action brought by the Pocomoke Tele-
phone Company against some men
employed by the Council of Berlin to
remove certain telephone poles in that
town which the Council considered were
detrimental to the improvement of the
town. Their employees cut some wires
and the Telephone Company had the
men arrested. They were carried be-
fore Justice ID. II. Lewis. OF this town,
On Wednesday. Justice Lewis declined
to hear the case, claiming that there
were too many legal complications to
be solved by justice of the peace. He,
therefore, sent the case to Court for
trial. which was satisfactory to all
parties concerned. The men gave bond
for their appearance. Mr.. John w.
Station was counsel for the town of
Berlin and the accused men, and States
Attorney, William F. Johnson, repre-
scented the prosecution.
The controversy over Wesley
Church, Dover, DEL, which has been
in the courts for several months and in
which further proceedings were contem-
plated in the near future, was brought
to an abrupt ending Tuesday night last,
when the board of trustees in special
session, decided to turn over the church
and all the financial obligations to the
compliments, they to assume every
thing in the way of Indebtedness. This
action was taken after careful deliber-
alton and in consequence of the fact
that the larger part of the membership
Of Wesley Church already had Joined
the Peoples Church, Dover. of which
Rev. DIR. A. w. Lightbourne, the de-
posed pastor Of Wesley Church. is the
pastor. By the decision of the trustees
Rev. f. l.. Hoffecker will assume charge
of the pulpit of Wesley Church, 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
short time 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.
