Suits Postponed

The 80 suits against the B. & O. R.
R., instituted by the flood sufferers of
Port Deposit, were put on trial at Eas-
ton Thursday morning. The defend
ants demurrer was overruled by
Judges w. H. Adkins and T. H. Hop
per, sitting as the court. A continual
ton was granted by the court until
May 26.
Judge Adkins spoke of the great
Importance of the case, and based the
ruling upon the grounds of the far
greater public interests in the matter.
He reminded the members of the bar
that upon the verdict hinged the pos
sible removal of the immense Susque-
hanna river bridge Of the reconstruc-
tion of it. He said, in granting the
continuation, that it was shown in the
testimony that the bridge was the
cause of the gorge that devastated
the town, and that it would have to
be removed or replaced by recon-
menace to Port Deposit The import
ance of the matter, he declared, made
it imperative that the railroad COM
pany should be granted every oppor-
tunity to strengthen its case. The
court ordered that the expenses of this
special term should be borne by the
defendants in the case. The attorneys
FOR the Port Deposit side are w. H.

Elkton Everybody. Co To- Church Day
Movement
To the People of Elkton and vicinity /:

To the People of ElktOn and vicinity:
Most, if not all, of our citizens have
doubtless heard of the GO to- Church
Movement" which is enlisting a wide
interest and helping to bring to the
front Religion es the nations need.
The purpose of the movement is to
secure the attendance of all the people
of a community at public worship on
designated Sunday.
The result Of the general observ-
ance of but one such day would, we
are persuaded, be highly beneficial in
calling the attention of the people at
large to their responsibilities before
God and the Nation.
1t is hoped and desired, however,
that the interest shall not die with the
day, but that it shall continue and
show itself in a growing habit of
church-going and a quickening of in
terest in the cause of religion and
right living upon the part of the peo-
pie of the entire community.
Desiring that Elkton and vicinity
shall share in the benefits of this
movement, we do earnestly appeal to
ALL our people to unite in the OBJ
servance of Sunday, February /, as
an Everybody go to- Church" Sunday,
and heartily to cooperate in securing
full attendance, both of young and
old, at the church of their choice on
the day named or, should that day be
stormy, on the first fair Sunday fol-
lowing.
Think of it! Work for it! Talk
about it with your neighbors and fel-
low-townsmen from this time on, and
let us all do our best to make this
Sunday "Rally-Day" worthy of the
name.

CURIOUS CARD TRICK.
it Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
Explanation Is a Mystery.

tt Deals With Odd Numbers, and the
Explanation Is Mystery.
There is a puzzle which may be per.
formed with any odd number Of ots
5ects. playing cards being usually EN-.
ployed, and which any one can do, but
no one seems able to explain the rea.
son for it. Let us suppose the number
selected to be twenty-seven cards, al.
though fifteen or twenty-one would do
Just as well
After having them shuff1ed hold them
In the left hand face upward and then
deal them face upward one at q time
in three piles so that the fourth card
comes on the first and the fifth on the
top of the second and so on until you
have three piles of nine cards each.
Request any person who is watching
you TO make a silent note of any card
he pleases, and when you have finished
dealing to tell you in which pile the
card lies. By picking up the three piles
again one at time as before, the not.
ed card will reappear. Ask in which
pile it came that time and place that
pile in the middle as before.
Upon dealing the cards into three
piles for the third time note carefully
the card that comes in the middle of
each pile. With twenty-seven there
will be nine in each pile and the fifth
will be the middle card. Now, when
the person who selected the card names
the pile in which his card comes you
will know it was the middle card OF
that pile. With this knowledge in your
possession you can finish the trick in
any manner you please.
