foreclosure. There is now due by the
railway company under the mortgage
$2,444, ,999.97 comprising S2,OOO,OOO
principal and S444, ,999.97 interest.
The decree provides that the money
shall be paid within one day or all the
railway property, consisting Of steam
ers, rolling stock and real estate, shall
be sold by the trustee to the highest
bidder. The sale is to take place at
the company's station at Love Point
on a day and hour to be fixed by the
trustee. The property is to be offered
in three lots, which are to be sold to-
gether or separately. Notice of the
sale is to be advertised in two news
papers in Baltimore, one in Whining
ton, one in Fredericksburg and one il
Leonardtown.

The moving picture house of Albert

week, with a loss of $4,000, and gar
age belonging to Frank NJ. Long, near
by, was also burned with a loss of less
than one thousand dollars. The NOV

opened on Friday. In May, 1921, the
same building was damaged by fire,
after having been opened but a few
days. In September of the same year
the day before it was to be reOpened,
after being repaired, it was set on fire
again. All three fires were discover
ed about 2 o'clock in the morning and
no clue has ever been found of the in
cendiaries. Circumstances connected
with the three fires were similar. The
loss by the two fires of 1921 and the
one this week was about $4,000, cover
