CITY INTELLIGENCE


Eastern mail train, due here at ii O'Clock, on
Saturday night, did not arrive until near 4
o'clock yesterday morning. The detention
was caused by the engine coming in contact
/ with large ball a short distance beyond Elk
ton. The engine and tender passed complete
ly over the bull, instantly killing it, Two of
the passenger cars, each containing about so
persons, were precptated down an embank-
ment distance of Is feet one of them being
broken TO atoms; yet strange to say, among
the large number inside, none were in any
manner seriously injured Two or three, and
among the number the conductor, Capt. Smith,
and Mr.. Sewell of this city, received slight
bruises. An extra train, which had left Phila-
delphia about an hour after the regular train,
soon arrived, and, after clearing the track,
brought the passengers to this city, where they
arrived as above stated. The baggage of the
passengers did not get here until O'Clock yes
terday morning.
Stage .4ccident. The horses attached to one
of the Stages belonging to the line of Messrs
Peters s. Co., between this city aud Washing
ton, ran off about II O'Clock on Friday night
this side of Elk Ridge Landing, 6 miles from
Baltimore, as the Stage was coming in, and in
crossing small bridge the Stage upset, throw
ing the horses over precipice, killing two OF
them and seriously njuring another. The
Stage was much damaged. Fortunately the pas
sengers had gotten out whilst the Stage had
been stopped for short time. No one was
injured. The stage was slightly injured, but
has been repaired, and put upon the route again.
We are assured that the proprietors of the line
have taken every necessary Precauton to pre-
vent similar rccurrence-the one referred to
being the result of some indiscretion on the part
of the driver If well trained horses, skilfull
and sober driver, are any guaranty,th travelling
public may feel perfectly safe in taking seat in
this speedy, pleasant, and cheap mode of con-
veyancc.
Guano on Tobacco beds and Grass plats. Ex-
tract of a letter, dated 2lst February, 1915,
from DR.. r. S. Stewart, of OGDEN, Anne Arun-
del county, Md. to J. S. Skinner:-The Guano
had very happy effect upon the plants in the
BEDS advancing them more rapidly, giving
them more strength and size, and above
all, checking, entirely, the ravages of the
! fly. We will use it again THIS season.
On grass lot near the house, we cut five crops
in one season. Here the preparation was Ia
guano, Ia ashes, Id plaster, and Id earth
! 100 pounds each to the acre. The two first
crops were heavy, third good, and fourth and
fifth light.

ing, large and brilliant light was sen in the
eastern part of the city. The dcep-toned bell
of the Second St. church soon gave the alarm,
and the fire department in great numbers pro-
ceeded to the spot, when it was discovered to
be the old sugar house near Harris creek, the
property of the Canton Company. 1t was en-
tirely destroyed. There can be no question but
that it was the work of an incendiary as it had
been unoccupied for number of years.

the Middle District watchmen were discharged
by the new officers OIL Saturday night We
also learn that a pretty general sweep took
place in the Eastern and Western Districts
