Kept Wedding Secret.

Keeping secret their marriage which
occurred the latter part of September,
1912, in Middletown, DEL, Mr.. and Mrs.
C. E. OFT, of Rocky Ridge, surprised
their friends with the announcement of
the wedding. Since the marriage the
two have been living at their respective
homes. Mrs. OFT was Miss Anna e. Dor
sey, next to the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles A. Dorsey, of near
Logs.
The manner in which the secret mar
riage took place was clever so that not
even the closest friends suspected. Miss
Dorsey went to Gettysburg to visit some
friends the latter part of last September
and from there she went to Philadelphia.
Here at Broad street station she met
Mr.. OFT, of Rocky Ridge and they board
ed train for Middletown, Del, where
they secured a minister and were mar
ried.
They quietly returned the next day to
their respective homes, after which they
continued their usual movements socia lily
in order to keep the marriage secret

Big Real Estate Venture Busted BY
CITY Counsel.

Big ktal Estate venture DuStcu by
City Counsel.
Some time ago z. l.. Williams & Co..
dealers in real estate, purchased from
Jonas V. Summers about 100 acres of
land adjoining Frederick city, and at once
had the track laid out in streets and in
lots Of /, J and acre, and advertised the
same for sale extensively.
The matter of furnishing water to per-
sons who purchased lots and erected
buildings was placed before the Board of
Alderman of Frederick city, who, after
a number of meetings, decided they could
not furnish water for the new enterprise
because 1.-THE ground was outside the city
limits"
The water mains supplying the city
with water run through this tract of
land, but all argument placed before the
board proved of little value. Not being
able to secure water, Mr.. Williams with
drew the lots from the market, and re-
turned the money to those who had al
ready purchased
The aldermen no doubt followed the
law relating to water supply in Freder-
lex, but certainly the law nor the action
of the board reads progressive.

Will Adhere to Charges For Electric
Current.


The Board of Commissioners of Thur
mont at a meeting held February goth
last, passed an ordinance in which was
fixed the prices to be charged consumers
for electric current for lighting purposes.
Up to the present time the rates have
not been adhered too, but we understand
the collector has been given instructions
to make his collections for the month Of
May according to Section 2 of Ordinance
No. "a, which reads as follows:
"And be it enacted and ordained that
the following prices shall govern the
electric lighting current: That every
house or building where more than two
lights are used shall be governed by me-
ter reading, and charge of 10 cents per
k. W. hour will be charged together with
10 cents per month for use of meter;
where two bulbs or less are used, of GO
watts or less each, the charge will be SO
cents per month for the first light and
rs cents for the second, and for meter
readings the minimum charge will be SO
cents per month. Charges for current
for Churches, Societies and Lodges shall
be given by the Board of Commissioners. y
Heretofore the collector has been MAX
ing charges according to meter readings,
that is, persons who have been using one,
two, three, four or five kilowatts per
month have been paying 10, 20, 80, 40 or
SO cents plus 10 cents for meter rent. In
the future so cents will be charged for
the amount consumed whether it be l, 2,
3, a or 5 kilowatts. AS soon as the meter
indicates more than five kilowatts used
the rate will be as in the past, 10 cents
per kilowatt.
We give the above for the benefit of
consumers who have been burning but a
few kilowatts per month, and those who
get the terms "fat rate" and minimum
rate" confused. The so cent charge is
the minimum rate.

Attracted Many People.


On Sunday evening last several young
men from Creagerstown, Rocky Ridge
and vicinity, furnished amusement for
perhaps hundred or more people of this
place.
These young men were driving horses
with very low records and engaged in
racing on the State Road south of town.
Three heats were run, and we were told
the Creagerstown horse was beaten in
each race. We were not given the tip
and knew nothing of the fun until Mon
day, but were told the pike was lined
with buggies, automobiles and pedestr-
ans for considerable distance. The
races were on about the hour people were
on their way to church.
Another race took place about half an
hour earlier on E. Main street from the
eastern limits of the corporation to Car
roll street. Probably this was just
"warm-up" for those which followed.
We are glad to know there are good
horses being raised and brought into this
community, they are nice to look at and
nice to possess, but we do not sanction
racing on Sunday.
Again, racing in the corporate limits
is forbidden, and the four races-three
parties participating liable to en-
rich the town treasury to the extent of
$50. 90, the maximum penalty for racing
being $1,000.

New Assessment Finishe d

Assessors Make Returns Last
Monday To Commissioners.
Substantial Gain In Taxes.
Messrs Sanford l.. Shaffer and Joseph
C. Martin who were >appointed by the
Board of Commissioners of Thurmont to
assess property in the taxable limits OF
Thurmont, practically completed their
work Saturday of last week, and on Mon
day made their report to the Board.
According to instructions, these gen.
tlemen assessed property at it's full value,
and when they completed their work, the
value of the property assessed amounted
to $489, sos. IS.
Of this amount 1882, 67O. 81 was on prop
erty situated in the old taxable limits. a
gain of $50, 293. IS over what the proper
ty was assessed at formerly. This gain
was made by assessing properties at full
value which had not been assessed for
probably a period of ten or twelve years
the increase in some instances amounting
to nearly thousand dollars.
In the new section on E. Main street,
which was recently taken in the taxable
limits, the assessors found property to
the value of $50, 935 90. This, added to
the increased value in the old limits
amounts to $l07, 228. 35, this amount rep
resenting the total increase in value OF
property now taxed in Thurmont.
The tax levy for the year 1918 was
ll470O, indicating taxable basis of
1882. 377.0 90. The taxes on the new basis
of $489, COS. IS at 80 cents per hundred
dollars will amount to $l468.8l, an in
crease of $32l.68.
When the Board of Commissioners fin
ish their task of reviewing the assess
ment papers and hearing complaints, of
which we believe there will be very few,
the above amounts may vary somewhat.
The tax lists will be made up very soon
after June LIST, and taxes for the year
1913 will be payable. We would suggest
that for the convenience of taxpayer the
Commissioners send tax bill to every
person having taxes to pay. They will
then know what they have to pay and
can pay same to collector or treasurer
when convenient.

accommodation ON the Middle Ten
nessee Railroad a short distance be
yond the station at Hillsboro, about
4:3O o'clock Monday afternoon. He
was driving 9. two-horse wagon and
was accompanied by the 14-year-old
son of John Jones. The trains struck
the wagon, molishing it, and young
Jones was thrown violently to the
ground and his skull fractured. 1t is
probable his injury will prove fatal.
Jerry GooCh, whose son was kill
ed, lives a fcfw miles from Franklin
on the Murfcesboro road, while young
Jones fathey who is also promin,
ent farmer, resides near the scene of
the accident, The crossing at which
the accident occurred has not been
considered dangerous one, and it is
understood that the train whistled
for the crossing. Hillsboro is eight
miles southwest OF Franklin.
This is the second fatality on the
Middle Tennessee Railroad within
the past two weeks, Fred McMillin
having been killed by the same train
about ten days ago in the outskirts
