He was promoted to the grade of first lieutenant March 3, 1863; captain, March 1867; major, May 27, 1878; lieutenant-colonel, January 31, 1891, and colonel, March 5, 1900. "He served In the early years of the Civil War In the" Department of the Cumberland and later at nearly all the Important arsenals in the country. His retirement will create a vacancy which will be filled by the transfer of some line officer." Colonel Marye' mother, Mrs. Helen T.

To develop and make far more productive and valuable the land along the shores of the Chesapeake bay in Maryland Is declared to be the plan of the Chesapeake Development Company, which was incorporated about a month ago under the laws of South Dakota. The Incorporators are Dr. William N. Hill and Henry W. Rowland, of Baltimore, and Philip Lawrence, of Huron, S.

D. The capital stock of the company is to be $1,500,000, divided Into 1,500,000 shares of a par value of $1 each. Dr. Hill and Mr. Rowland said yesterday that the company will be organized in a few days.

The charter gives the company very large privileges, among them "being to engage In the wholesale and retail lumber business, operate sawmills, handle all kinds of building material, hardware, machinery, etc.j purchase timber lands and other lands, to manufacture machinery, implements, to construct and control private roads, mills, factories, warehouses, to buy and sell stocks, to issue bonds, purchase patent rights and privileges, to carry on business In any other State or In any part of the world, and to hold meetings outside the State of South Dakota, to buy and work mines, and many other powers and privileges. "Our plan Is to develop the land along the Chesapeake bay," said Mr. Rowland. "It can be done, and I am surprised that nobody has undertaken It before now. When I came to this country and saw that section of Maryland and the opportunities It offered for development I felt it was a shame to allow it to remain almost a wilderness.

Why, it is scarcely inhabited. I have been all over It and know the land can be made useful and valuable and a good market easily reached for the products. "The timber can be converted into lumber, and stock and good crops raised off the ground. A part of our plan is to have the railroad built from Washington to Point Lookout, at the moutb of the Potomac river, which was surveyed years ago and to establish a line of steamers from there to England. Point Lookout is a good location for tidewater terminals, as the water is deep enough there for steamers to come in.

London would be a first-class market to ship to. Horses, sheep and other stock could be sold at good prices right off. the vessels as soon as they landed. The bay is rich with fish, and oysters, that people in England would be glad to buy as soon as they arrived there. They could easily be shipped on refrigerator steamers.

If the report Is correct that a lot of Italian laborers have been sent to Southern Maryland to work It looks as though somebody has got on to part of our plan and is trying to get In ahead of us. We did not send them down. It may be a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad scheme, though I doubt it. "Yes, we have options on a lot of property down in that section which we will buy, with a lot more, if our plans can be carried out successfully. Some people interested with us also have an option on the railroad line from Washington to Point Lookout, and If that Is completed and operated it will make a wonderful development in that practically useless section of the State.

We have sent out prospectuses, and hoDe to eet enough people Interested Catholio Benevolent Legion Members Meet At Darley Park. PRES. R. B. TIPPETT SPEAKS Swings For The Children, Stereop-tlcon Views, Bowling And Other Games Make Time Pass Pleasantly.

The annual reunion of the Catholic Benevolent Legion, at Darley Park last night, was a great success and much en-Joyed. The night was an ideal one for an outdoor picnic, being delightfully cool and with bright moonlight. The picnic at 2 o'clock in the During the afternoon a number of members of the order gathered at the grounds and proceeded to enjoy themselves In a quiet fashion. There were swings for the children, bowling alleys for the elders and other amusements, to' say nothing of refreshments. It was after nightfall, however, when the full swing of merrymaking began.

The formal part of the program centered principally about the visit of the supreme president, Mr. Richard B. TIppett. He arrived on the grounds at 8 P. and was met at the gate by Prof.

Johnson. After reaching the grandstand the band played several patriotic airs, and then State President J. G. Johnson introduced bu preme President Tippett, who spoke in part as follows: "This is a proud day in the history of the Catholic Benevolent Legion in Maryland "I wish it were given to all the thousands of brave knights In our order to witness on this day the great concourse of Catholics gathered here under the starlit dome of the heavens, in reunion rejoicing at our splendid work and reconsecrating them selves to the noble work of charity In mitigating the sufferings and Ills of humanity and bringing comfort, support and blessings to our people. "Nearly 21 years ago there was conceived in Brooklyn by a number of good citizens an idea that the Catholic home would be more independent and stable if some suitable provision could be made by which the family would be provided for in the event of the death of the husband or father.

Has Fulfilled Its Mission. "As a result of careful deliberation, the Catholic Benevolent Legion was incorpor ated, and from that time to the present it has fulfilled Its mission beyond the most sanguine hopes and expectations of its founders. It is today the most progressive -society of Its kind In the country, and it has met every obligation to its members. It has been the means of preserving more Catholic homes than any other single organization in the church. Its mission has been no idle mockery.

It has given stand ing and stability to the Catholic home. It has laid on the altar of charity nearly 000,000. It has strewn flowers along the pathway of many lives. It has fed the hungry and clothed the naked. At the grave of a comrade we leave our tears, but on hi home we bestow our charity.

"If prayers avail, heaven is besieged with a multitude of petitions in our behalf from loving hearts, whose burdens have been lightened and whose future brightened by the ministering kindness of our order. "If the blessings of mothers avail, then we are rich In sueh princely favors, for to them have we been a special comfort by enabling them from our treasury to keen together, educate and support their chil dren at their own firesides. "We have lessened the sting of poverty. We have made happier homes and better citizens by preparing men for the duties and responsibilities of life. "Is A Labor Of Love." "Our work Is a labor of love performed In the realization of our sense of duty and responsibility to our fellow-man.

Our mis slon is one of charity, pursued for Its own sake, for Its own reward, and such a mis sion, with angel tongues, will ever appeal ior its own perpetuation. "While we contemplate the good we are doing, let us not ie unmindful that we are a part of a great people enjoying the bless ings of a great and that every wound Inflicted on any considerable por tion or tne people is felt on the body politic. Mr. xippett continued his Bpeech at length, criticising trusts, which he de clared had made the equality of man a dream and one transforming our country more and more Into a land of the baron and the vassal, the baron becoming richer and the vassal poorer. He concluded: "Let us today renew our allegiances to tne Declaration of Independence and let us unite to fight the oommon foe of our coun try.

Let manhood assert Itself and let us through this organization pledge ourselves to a re-establishment of equality before men ana oeiore the law. Let this oreani zatlon be an educator to our people and let tne catnonc men and women of our country stand as a unit on all matters which will bring order and peace to the whole and make all men equal by the law and before the law." Received With Enthusiasm. Mr. Tlppetfs speech was heard by a large crowd, and was enthusiastically applauded. After that the picnickers dispersed to amuse themselves in various ways.

The dance hall attracted most of the young people; others gathered at the eastjend of the grounds to see a series of stereopticon views, while still others patronized swings, merry-go-rounds and other forms of amusement.

COFFEE LOWLY AND STEADILY POISONS BOMB PE2SON3. There is no doubt that coffee secretly and Quietly causes an immense amoont of misery to the human race, bat in the majority of cases tie psrsoa does not suspect the eatue of the trouble.

A Virginia lady had an interesting experiment with coffee poison. She says: "For about fire years I was troubled with indigestion, weak stomach, and palpitation of the heart so bad that at times I would fall and hare to be carried into the honse. Finally I began to have spasms and suffered untold misery. I tried all kinds of patent medicines and different doctors, only to get temporary relief. ''I fl Tinny gars up all hope of getting well Ify stomach was in snch condition that everything tmt stale bread wonld throw me into spasms.

I nearly starred mysolf, but never suspected that coffee was the eatose of all the trouble, nor did I hare any idea what the cause was. "Ons dsy father told me he had been reading how Factum Food Coffee helped so many people' whe were elck from coffee drinking and he nrged me to leave off coffee and try Postum. I said: "Oh, father, I cannot try it and do not beliers it would do me any good; but he persuaded ms to try a package. "The first making tasted so flat that it made me half sick, but determined to gire it fair trial, so I read the directions carefully and found that it must be boiled at least 12 in tries. Well, I boiled it tS mlnctes, then added some good cream, and I tell you it was delicious.

I like it better than the ordinary coffee, and, of course, stick to it. "Well, I hate been using it since the 15th of July now, quite two months. I hare gained about 25 pounds. I gained 6 pounds in 13 weeks, and can eat anything I want and all that I want. My stom ach nerer hurts me.

I ha to gained strength until now I can do my own work and go to church erery Sunday.

W. Tv Mr. John K. Mesaersmith, Ootton Broker, la On Trial. ORDER BILLS OF LADING CASE Charged With Obtaining; $100,000 By False Representations From Merchants' National Bank.

A keen lofal contest was started In the Criminal Oourt yesterday, when the trial of John IC Messersmlth, a cotton broker, on the charge of obtaining money by false representations from the Merchants' National Bank was commenced. The case Is being tried beforeJudge Ritchie without a Jury, at the election of Mr. Messersmith's attorneys, and every step In the trial is being vigorously contested. The proceedings yes tcrday bristled with objections and arguments on law points. It is alleged that the bank lost $100,000 which it advanced to Mr.

Messersmlth on what purported to be good bills of lading, but which turned out to be worthless. Eleven indictments, each based on an alleged fraudulent bill of lading deposited with the bank as collateral security, have been found against Mr. Messersmlth. What State Proposes To Prove. Deputy State's Attorney Poe, who, with State's Attorney McLane, Is prosecuting the case, made the opening statement, explaining the State's case.

Mr. Poe selected what he said was a typical case to show the character of Mr. Messersmith's dealings. He said Mr. Messersmlth went to the bank on October 24, 1901, with a promissory note for $2,812, and gave as collateral security for the note an order bill of lading for 74 bales of cotton shipped from Norfolk to Baltimore by the Baltimore, Chesapeeke and Richmond Steamboat Companjs.

Tha bill of lading was dated October 21. 1901. On the faith of it, Mr. Poe said, the bank loaned Mr. Messersmlth $2,812.

"As a matter of fact," Mr. Poe contln tied, "the transportation company did not have the cotton called for by the bill of lad Ing. The date on the bill of lading was a false date. The real date was July 16 1899, but this had been erased and October 21, 1901, substituted for It. Mr.

Messer smith had received the cotton long before he presented the bill of lading at the bank, He said at the time he was holding the cot ton for a rise In the market, but he after ward admitted that he had changed the date on the bill of lading." A large pile of bills of lading which, it was alleged, had been used to defraud the bank in a similar manner was on the State's Attorney's table. Position Of The Defense. Edgar H. Gans and W. Calvin Chesnut, attorneys for the defense, made no opening statement.

They said, however. In the course of the trial that their defense Is that Mr. Messersmlth did not receive from the bank any money on the strength of the bills of lading, and therefore he Is not guilty under the Indictments which charge him with receiving money. The amounts ajleged to have been obtained by Mr. Messersmlth by false representations were credited to him on the bank's books.

President Thomas Testifies. The legal battle started when Mr. Dong- las H. Thomas, president of the bank, was called as the first witness for the State. Mr.

Gans asked that all the State's testimony be admitted subject to exception. The motion was overruled by the Court, after ar gument, and Mr. Gans took an exception to the Court's ruling. Mr. Thomas Identified Mr.

Messersmith's handwriting on all the bills of lading and promissory notes, and said Mr. Messersmlth had a line of $125,000 credit at the bank, of which $100,000 was secured by the order bills of lading. There was another argument between the attorneys before Mr. Thomas was allowed to testify as to an Interview with Mr. Mes sersmlth on November 7, 1901, the day the latter was arrested.

Mr. Messersmith's at torneys contended that he was a prisoner in the bank that day, and was locked up several hours. Mr. Thomas said that Mr. Messersmlth was sent for and a city detective followed him to the bank and watched him while there, but Mr.

Messersmlth was not aware of it, and was not a prisoner. He went to the bank about 10.80 A. M. and remained there until about 5 P. when he was ar rested.

He was cool and self-possessed and said all the bills of lading of his held by the bank were of the same character, except one for 10 bales of cotton. He told Mr. Thomas the cotton was delivered to him without his surrendering the bills of lading. The bills of lading, he said, he kept and pledged with the bank when he needed money. He also told Mr.

Thomas that he alone made tho alterations and no one else had knowledge of them. Cashier Ingle Is Called. William Ingle, cashier of the bank, was the second witness for the State, but his examination had not been concluded when court adjourned for the day. The 11 indictments against Mr. Messer smlth are for an aggregate of $40,000.

which he Is alleged to have obtained from the bank on fraudulent bills of lading between Marcn, iuoo, ana October, 1901. All were Issued by the Baltimore. Cheeaoeake and Richmond Steamboat Company, which the Dank nas sued. Mrs. Newman's Suit Dismissed.

The suit of Ellen L. Newman to require the members of the North Point Council, o. junior uraer American Mechanics, to account to her for $500 alleged to have been received by them as benefits for the Illness and death of her husband, John T. Newman, was dlsmlsseuwwltri nnato a decree signed yesterday by j-tdge Stock-bridge in the Circuit Court. The Court sustained the defendant's demurrer on the ground that Mrs.

Newman has a complete remedy at law. Charles A. Briscoe ap peared ior tne complainant and W. Harry noiines ior tne aerenaants. Divorce Granted Two Wanted.

"She said that she was going to church, and I said she should not go without my permission. Squire." said Charles Roycroft, 25 years old, 1209 Hull street, a clerk in the employ of the North German Lloyd' Steamship Company, to Justice Robertson, at the Southern Police Station, yesterday, where Roycroft was charged with failure to support his wife and child.

That was last Friday. I have begged her several times to return, but she refuses." The man finished with a half -tearful and wholly penitent glance at his wife, who, encouraged by the presence of her mother, refused to see him. "Was it because of this that you swore out the warrant for your husband's ar rest?" the Justice asked her, and she said it was. Justice Robertson dismissed the case, saying: "Talk it over and agree to live peaceamy nerearter. Sir.

He is about 57 years old and re tired from active business about ten years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Washburn have no chil dren. The License Was Not Used. Mr.

and Mrs. Christian Kurrle, living at 29 Jenkins lane, were rejoicing yesterday over the fact that their daughter, Eliza beth, had decided to give up Edward T. Hyle, 48 years old and a widower with six children, whom she had some time ago de elded to marry without asking the consent or her parents. A license for the marriage was issued on Saturday last and since that time the par ents have been distressed and worried.

The syndicate of stockholders of the Consolidated Gas Company that is having a thorough examination made of the condition of the company will make a contest to control at the annual election of directors to be held Monday, July 21, as predicted in The Stjn of yesterday.

Notice of the decision to make a contest was served on Gen. F. C. Latrobe, the president of the company, yesterday by a committee composed of the following bankers and brokers: Gustavus Ober, Stein John A. Whltridge, Hambleton Town-send Scott Son and J.

William Midden dorf Co. The committee publishes a card in Thb Sun today, addressed to the stockholders of the company, stating the purpose of the contest. A ticket will be selected shortly, and a circular letter will be sent out to all of the stockholders explaining the object of the contest in detail. The report of the expert examination being made by Humphreys Glasgow, of New York, will, it is declared by the contestants, sustain the claim of the syndicate that the management of the company is not developing the business as much as could be done. It is contended that the number of meters in use, said to be about 70,000, and the earnings are not as large as they should be in a city the size of Baltimore.

The climax was reached Monday, when the announcement was made that the present management had decided to sell 4a per cent, certificates of indebtedness, not to exceed $1,500,000, to the Colonial Trust Company. The price of 99 net is regarded as too low. A member of a banking firm said his firm would gladly have taken the certificates at 100 net if given the chance. There are 110,000 shares of stock issued by the gas company, and it is said the syndicate now controls about 35,000 shares. Charles H.

Dickey made a lively fight against the management two years ago and lost by a small majority. He was subsequently elected a director and vice-president. The present directors of the company are Messrs. F. C.

Latrobe, W. W. Spence, James A. Gary, W. F.

Moreton, of Cockeysvllle, for the assistance they rendered in the capture of Devlne, the alleged murderer of Patrolman Donahue. A communication had been received from the Police Board asking that the Board of Estimates provide for the reward.

The latter, however, replied that the Police Board could do so Itself out of its own expense account if it thought proper. The board sent back to the City Council the ordinance providing for the refunding of back pay to garbage men, with, a message that it was a claim against former Contractor Samuel A. Rice and not against the city, and so the Board of Estimates has no Jurisdiction. The ordinance providing for an increase In the wages of garbage men from $15 to $18 a week was sent back with an unfavor able report, since "Section 83 of the Charter gives the Street Cleaning Commissioner the power to regulate wages In his depart ment, and not the Board of Estimates nor the City Council.
