&g-Among the killed in the railroad disaster
at Ashtabula, Ohio were P. P. Bliss and wife, the
singing evangelists. Mr.. Moody, the revivalist,
publishes q card ''to the Sunday Schools of Amer
ica," suggesting that the 18th of January every
nance and education of the children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bliss, and also "for the erection of u monu-
ment to the memory of the sweet singers to whom
all our Sunday Schools so deeply indebted. -
The suggestion is a good one and should be acted
upon. Mr.. Bliss was the author of "Hold the
Fort" and other popular sacred songs.

M-Hundreds of loaves of bread have this
week been sent to the several police stations in
Baltimore for distribution among the poor
Quantities of fresh and mess beef are also being
distributed, all contributed by generous merchants,
butchers and others. Dozens of persons besiege
the station houses daily and nightly for bread to
keep them from starving, and in all eases they
provided for. There is now, has been and will
continue to be much suffering among the city poor
and some of the more fortunate ones are doing all
in their power to keep them from utter starvation

G1~Some Democratic newspapers are now busy
mapping out the course to be pursued by Gov.
Hayes after his Inauguration as President, many
of them claiming to give the Governors views on
important topics Gov. Hayes, in letter to
friend in New York State, says that all newspaper
reports purporting to foreshadow his future policy
are without foundation.

nS~A native of Georgia and lifelong South
erner, has declared to correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette that if Hayes were inaugurated,
the old Union element of the South would soon be
reorganized on the basis of equal rights and ma
tonal unity, and further, that it would include at
least one-third of the white population. The race
that once followed Clay and Webster in the South
is not extinct.

in his 22d year. Young Morrissey had weak
lungs and the excessive smoking of cigarettes is
thought to have been the immediate cause of his
death. Here is warning to boys who think there
is no harm in little bit of paper and tobacco
rolled up together. This cigarette smoking by

Poison BIRDs-A Word OF WA NING.-Tle &c

Poison BIRDs-A WORD OF WA NING.-Tae &C.
Gil Wing of late date says:
"We notice that cartridges are yet occasionally
brought to our market. We advise our readers
not to purchase or eat them. The ground has been
covered with a heavy coat of ice and snow for two
weeks, entirely cutting the birds off from their
ground food. Under such circumstances they feed
almost entirely upon the leaf Of the laurel. This
leaf is rank poison to man, and persons eating the
birds are liable to suffer from its effects. True
sportsmen, instead of shooting birds during such
weather, are inclined to feed and care for them
1t nothing but the genuine pot hunter who shoots
now"

week Gen. Wade Hampton has issued another ad-
dress to the people of South Carolina, implOring
them to como to his assistance by the prompt pay

the legally elected Governor, yet there seems to be
vast number of people in the State who do not
think his claim just one. Affairs there general
ly with regard to State officers, are still about as
badly muddled as it is possible for them to be.

The Bridge Over Eaok River.

ROSSVILLE Dec. ZItn, 1910.
Ness. Editors Allow me to say q few words in
your useful paper respecting the proposed bridge
over Black River. There is no thoroughfare from
the city to the point the river where it is pro-
posed to build this bridge but public road has
been laid out from Eastern Avenue extended to
this point, and on to Black River county road. 1t
will cost several thousand dollars to make this
road, but the parties interested will pay every dol
lar of this expense and will contribute largely to
building the bridge. 1 own 1877 acres of land and
am assessed to pay $500 benefits. My neighbor,
A. +. Fausitt, is assessed s. 000 In all are
sessed $13, 800, which will be paid without muir
muir when we have assurance that the bridge will
be built. The people in Back River Neck are cut
off from the city, obliged to travel eight Oh
nine miles to the Philadelphia Pike, and then sew
en- miles further to get to the city.
This bridge would enable them to get to the city
in half the distance and by much better road
The persons interested in this road and bridge pay
annually double the amount of taxes necessary to
build this bridge. 1t is petitioned for by Wilson
Townsend, Thomas Biddison, Nelson Burnetson,
E. J. Taylor, John S. Hayes, VIM. Hopkins, DR..
VIM. II. Mace, Wilmot johnson, A. F. Faustt
David Carson, G. S. Brown, Enoch Pratt, James
&. Tyson, Jacob IL. Taylor, and forty other tax
payers of Baltimore county. There is but one
county bridge in the 18th District, and that very
small one The proposed bridge and road will
benefit the county more than any improvement it
has ever made, in the increase of its taxation
Individuals, 1 have said, who are to be person.
ally benefited, will contribute largely. Some
among the largest taxpayers in the county will
have their property improved and a whole COM
muDity will be accommodated and benefited as
the public convenience requires. The people of
the county have the right to know the facts and
circumstances connected with any public improve
ment. 1 therefore have taken the liberty to send
you this communication. Yours truly,
B. E. Cook.
The above communication was sent to us for
publication last week but did not reach in time
The proposals for building the bridge over Back
River were opened on Wednesday last and the
contract will probably be awarded to Townsend &
Coburn, their bid being the lowest-$S,375.-
Mr.. Townsend is resident of the 18th district and
is interested in having good and substantial
bridge built Mr.. Corburn is a large contractor
in the city and is an experienced bridge builder.
We understand that the building of pile bridges
is a speciality in his business.
