FOUND DEAD,-On Tuesday of last week the
dead body of German, named Fritz -
was found in the Great Gunpowder river, near
the bridge on the Philadelphia turnpike. The
bridge has been in an unsafe condition for some
time past, q considerable portion of the railing
on one side having fallen down. 1t is supposed
that the unfortunate man in crossing the bridge
at night accidentally walked overheard and was
killed. The last time he was seen alive was on
Christmas Eve, and the accident is believed to
have occurred at that time. If it did it is re.
markable that the body was not discovered
sooner He was plastcrer by trade and had no
family. Justice Samuel BachteI, of Baltimore
county, held an inquest on the body, and the
jury rendered verdict of accidental death The
approach to the bridge on the east side is also
reported to be unsafe, but it is expected that the
proper authorities will now proceed to repair
the bridge.

BUSINESS CHANGE.-Mr. John w. Bay, former
ly of this county, who retired from active bust
ness as commission merchant in Baltimore, a
short time ago, on account of i'll health, has
again entered into active business with Mr.,
George A. Getty, under the firm name of Bay a.
Getty, at the old stand, Nos. 50 and IL South
Frederick street. Mr.. Bay has been long and
favorably known to the farmers of Hartford coun-
ty as an honorable, correct and first class bust
ness man, and his partner, Mr. Getty, stands
equally high wherever he is known. The latter
was member of the former firm of james Getty
IL Sons, the well known dealers in dry goods, on
the corner of Gay and High streets, Baltimore.
This firm bore an untarnished character for
business integrity throughout all the panics and
business troubles from 1898, when it was estab-
lished, until its dissolution, few years ago, Mr..
George A. Getty having had the general manage
mcnt for number of years previous thereto
The individual members of the firm of Bay a.
Getty therefore come before the farmers of IIar.
ford with the best business reputation, and We
are confident that they will sustain it in every
instance.
