SHARE IN ESTATE

The following dispatch from
Rising Sun, appeared in the Balti-
more Sun of August IA:
Because Mrs. Marcellina Fassett,
of Wyncote, Pa, died without a
will, her estate will be divided
among three cousins living in Cecil
county, Miss Lorraine F. Fassett and
her two brothers, John and Alfred
Fassett.
philadelphia court records state
the value of the estate to be about
$4,000, but John Fassett says he
doubts this and thinks the amount
to be divided among his sister,
brother and him to be much less
He said that his cousin had died
last week and he thought it was
entirely too soon to even estimate
the amount of the legacy, but he
was sure it would not reach the
amount stated"

POOR ELECTRIC SERVICE
PROTESTED

DR.. Murray Peabody Brush, d.
rector of Tome Institute, Port De-
posit, and DR.. G. Hampton Richards,
of the same town, have filed COM
plaint with the Public Service Com
mission against the notoriously
poor electric service being furnished
by the Northern Maryland Power
Company. We hear complaint from
many patrons of the Company in our
town and vicinity of the unsatisfac-
tory service, and can verify them
through personal experience.
DR.. Richards asserted that the
lights in his hospital went, out twice
while major operations were being
performed and when failure OF the
current might have resulted in the
death of the patients.
Although an improvement in SER
vice was promised by representatives
of the company at a meeting of the
Board of Trade of Port Deposit,
July 12, it was declared, the dis
trict has been deprived of light or
been given current too weak for any
useful purpose on more than one
occasion since that time.
Officials of the commission said the
matter would be investigated.

CECIL COUNTY RECORDS
FILED

The work of filing all the records
of the Register of Wills Office at
Elkton, has been completed, and it
is now possible to trace history OF
Cecil families from the inception OF
the county in 1874 until today.
Since the drawing OF some of the
papers, years ago, they have lain in
piles about the Court House.
One year ago the Register of
Wills, Robert McCauley, obtained
permission from William Gordy,
State Comptroller, to use certain
moneys to reclaim the papers of the
office.
The work has just been completed,
even the filing of administrators
bonds. The first paper filed in the
office in 1874 was bond, with three
signers, naming the amount for
which they assumed responsibility to
be 100000 pounds of tobacco in
casques."
Early papers of the Clerk of the
Court are still piled in the grand
Jury witness room. Efforts are be-
ing made to obtain permission from
the authorities to divert money to
taking care of these papers. Among
them is the record of the life of
Rumsey, the inventor of the steam
boat, in Cecil county, and the records
of William Penn's aggressive acts in
the Nottingham section.
When this task has been completed
no county in the country of re-
spectacle age will have as complete
set of records as Cecil and no more
interesting reading of colonial his
tory will be obtainable anywhere,
it is claimed.
Mr.. McCauley's office is one of the
most efficient in Maryland and his
filing system one of the best, visitors
declare.
