The steam packet. Maryland, of the canal
company, was yesterday successfully passed
through the outlet lock. This work. which is
the largest of its kind in the world. has coun.
terpsr: in Scott md and Germany. The Lock
and Dock Company WIS organized IN 1914. and
work commenced in April 1875 When the
lock was completed, some months afterward, it
Was FUND that the gearing apparatus was not
heavy enough to bs safe, AID it WAS replaced by
more substantial machinery. When this WAS
finished about IS boats were locked through.
until the 3O!h OF last May. On that morning
after two boats had passed to tho river, and rs
the caisson or tank was moving up the incline,
the axle Of the north rope wheel broke. When
this gave way the tank and it's heavy counter
weight cars went down the plane ut a fearful
speed One man WAS killed outright, and two
moro 60 hurt that they died of their injuries
shortly afterwards In the month of February
previous to this, however, the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company hsd leased the property
from the original company for the period of
twenty five years. The first mentioned COM
nsny imne distey commenced repairing tho
break, and have put in machinery which ID on
an average over POO per cent. stron ger now than
before Quite mum Der of persons were present
yesterday to sec this third and successful trial
of the lcck. The enterprise has cost over $loJ.-
900 since its commencement
