Court convened Monday morning, and the criminal docket was taken up. Juijges Urner and Motter presiding. The crim inal docket this term is comprratively short, and as many of those charged with the more serious offenses have pleaded guilty, the trial o{ the cases on the dock et promises to take much leas time than was expected a week ago. Indicted and brought into court to an swer a charge of gambling and betting on races at the age of 83, was the fate of J. C. Meddinger, who appeared in court and pleaded guilty to the charge against him and was fined S2OO and costa. He was unable to pay, and upon request of his counsel, Wm. P. Maulsby, was given 30 days in which to raise the mon ey. Lawrence Gray, charged with passing ing a foiged check on Victor Kaplon, of Brunswick, was taken before the Court and pleaded guilty. He was at once sen tenced to three years in the penitentiary. Charles M. R. L. Mokomes, a Russian, aged 24 years, charged with the larceny of some clothing from a porter on a Pull man car, while in the Brunswick yards, was tried liefore the Court. The testi mony showed that after taking the cloth ing, the Russian at once put them on and was wearing them when arrested. He was given three years in the House of Correction. On Saturday afternoon Chas. E. Toms, living near Hamburg, came into Freder ick and gave himself up to the officers. Toms was indicted by the recent grand jury, upon the charge of placing poison in a spring, the water from which was used by the family of Mrs. Bessie Pat terson, and also upon the charge of un lawfully stabbing a cow. Toms heard of the indictments, and came into the city before a warrant was served upon him and gave himself up. He was held in the sum of S3OO bail on each charge for court, and furnished the necessary bail and was released. Twenty years in the Maryland peniten tiary was the sentence imposed upon Hanson Dorsey on Saturday afternoon, when he pleaded guilty to the charge of attempting to assault Mrs. Della Ste phens, residing at the time a short dis tance east of Frederick. The attempted assault took place on August 15th and a few days afterward Dorsey was taken to Baltimore by Sheriff Grimes, who feared an attempt might be made to lynch the negro. Wl.ei Sheriff Grimes returned from Baltimore, to which place he took Edgar Shawen, who had escaped from him two days before, he brought Dorsey along back. The matter was kept very quiet, only the court, State’s Attorney, aud the few persons around the jail, knew of Dorsey’s presence in | Frederick. He was taken into the judges’ j chamber on Saturday afternoon, pleaded guilty and was given 20 years in the pen itentiary. Sheriff Grimes left at once with his prisoner. On his way down, Dorsey remarked to Sheriff Grimes that he had been given an awfully long term. Mrs. Stephens is a daughter of Mr. Charles P. Smith of near Thurmont, and with her husband, is living on Mr. Geo. E. Willhide’s farm east of town, they having move here since the experience with the negro. A copy of the decree of divorce grant ed to Margaret Ellen Fitz, from her hus band, Levy Fitz, by the Court of Com mon Pleas, Montgomery county, Ohio, has been filed for record at the Clerk’s office, Frederick. She is also given the right to resume her maiden name, Mar garet Ellen Willhidc. She is residing near Thurmont. Must Pay 98,696.22 Overdraft. The Brunswick Furniture Company must pay to the receivers of the Bruns wick Savings Bank, the sum of $8,696.22, this representing the sum which the fur niture company overdrew its account in the bank. This decision was announced in court Tuesday morning by Chief Judge U rner. The case was tried about 10 days ago. In the trial oi' the case the bank set up the statute of limitations as its plea, claiming that it should not be compelled to pay overdrafts for a period further back than three years. This was denied by the court, which held that the trans actions continued from the time of start ing the account in 1897, and each deposit the furniture company made could be taken by the bank and applied to the old debt, and that this was presumed. In all it was found the furniture company had deposited since 1897 the sun. of about $72,000, and had drawn out over SBO,OOO. The case was one, in that such a case has neverheen passed upon by the Court of Appeahrof Maryland, although the general principles applying to the case have been laid down again and again by the court. Held Under Bail. I John Young, who was indicted by the j grand jury on four charges, of selling j liquor on Sunday, to inebriates and minors | and with gambling, was arrested by i Deputy Sheriff HaUver Saturday morn- j ing. He was admitted in the sum of j S6OO bail for his appearance at court. j Heber Summers, who was indicted by the grand jury for selling liquor on Sun day, was arrested by Sheriff Grimes Sat- 1 urday morning, and gave bail in the sum of $250 for his appearance at court.

RED CROSS SEAL NOT ABOLISHED “Not only will the sale of Red Cross Christmas Beals lie continued this year, but it will be carried on along broader lines, and will lx; larger and more comprehensive than ever before,” says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Executive Secretary of the National Association for the Btudy and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a statement issued by the Press Bureau of that organization. Dr. Farrand denies absolutely the statements which have appeared re cently to the effect that Postmaster General Hitchcock had forbidden the | sale of Red Cross Beals. “No official ; order has leen issued on this matter” i says Dr. Farrand. “On July Ist the Post Office Department decided that | they could no longer carry mail mat | ter which bore stamps or seals which ! resem 1 tied postage stamps. The de j i-ign of the Red Cross Beal, however, has lx*en approved definitely by Post -1 master General Hitchcock and the j Department, and it does not come j within the prohibitions of this order 'of July Ist. It hardly looks us if we i were going to abandon the sale, when we have already placed the order for the printing of fifty million seals and for large quantities of advertising matter. “The Red Cross Seal this year will be from a new design drawn by an artist in Washington, D. C. Every effort has been made to get as far away from the conventional design of stamps and seals as possible. The new seal will depict a very pretty winter scene. In the lower right hand corner will appear a snow cov ered house with a pine tree, also snow covered, in the foreground. The scone is at night and the windows are lighted. In the back ground are trees and snow-capped hills. In the upper left hand corner will appear a small red cross. The entire design is en closed with a heavy red circle. The year is expressed in Roman numer als. The only other words on the seal are, “American Red Cross, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.” The corners of the seal, which will lie square, are in white, thus giving the effect of a circular seal when it is affixed to letters and packages. “It is very important that every one lx*ar in mind that the Post Office Department will not carry any letters bearing these seals or any other non postage stamps upon the face of the letter. Red Cross Beals may and should lx* placed on the back of let ters and packages. “Agents for the seals of Red Cross Beals have now been appointed in every large state of the United States. More territory will be covered this year, and more agents will sell seals than ever liefore. We need and want a million dollars from the sale of Red Cross Be,ds in Hill.” WRECK ON W. M. RAILROAD.
