WOMAN, MISTAKEN,
GIVES UP HER FIGHT.
Retires After Long Vigil Guard
ing Property Against
Railroad.

After a seven-hour vigil Mrs. Mat
thew Maxwell. of Prince street, Or
ange. gave up her fight yesterday af-
ternoon against the Lackawanna
Railroad. She had remained on
guard inside her fence from o'clock
yesterday morning to O'Clock yester-
day afternoon to prevent employees of
the railroad from placing markers"
two feet inside of her fence. She
only gave up when surveyor en-
ployed by her reported that the raj :
road owned two feet inside her fence
line.
Wrapped In warm coat, and
with neighbors ministering to her
wants. giving her hot coffee and other
refreshments, Mrs. Maxwell firmly de-
ciined all overtures to allow the
Lackawanna workmen to go inside
her fence line, and w liam Freeman,
section foreman, and five big men
had waited patiently until the wom-
an, satisfied she was in error, yielded
to their insistent demands.
Mrs. Maxwell's husband. all the
time she was on guard over what she
had for forty-f1ve years considered
her property, continued few feet
away to raise and lower gates for
approaching trains on the railroad his
wife was vigorously lighting. She
counseled him to attend to his task,
stating she would protect their prop
erty rights.
When the surveyor announced to
Mrs. Maxwell that the fence her late
father erected was actually on the
railroad land the woman, chilled by
her long vigil, arose st'fily and
walked into the house. The work.
men lost no time In pushing down
the venerable fence and placed their
marker in position, then went on
with their work of stalking out the
other points along the railroad lines
for the proposed entertainments. Mrs.
Maxwell was emb'ttered by the
roughness of the men, and insisted
they will be compelled to place the
fence in position again.
The Lacka wanna Road plans to
spend 81 100000 for raising the tracks
and building new stations In the city
They also desire to close Prince street
at the point where It intersects the
present line of the road. The work
will retire Mr.. Maxwell from his po-
sltion and leave the Maxwell prop
erty ut the end Of the cul de sac, II
the city suffers the street to be
closed. The railroad is awaiting as
sent OF the city to pay $4,000 for
damages to the Maxwell and other
properties to be injured by the eieva-
ton. which many citizens have pro-
tested against.
Police were called yesterday when
the workmen tried to defy Mrs. Max
well, but they declined to interfere.

celebrated. At s o'clock the bride
and groom entered the parlor, which
was prettily and tastefully decorated
for the occasion. The bride was ele-
gantly gowned in white crepe with
pearl trimming and carried a boquet of
brides roses. The bridal couple were
accompanied by Miss Mildred Taylor,
who acted as flower girl, and Edward
Cole, as ring bearer. The solemn
words of the marriage ceremony were
pronounced by Rev. Edward d. Chand-
ler, and as he pronounced them hus-
band and wife they were showered
