A Bridge in Danger.

The severe weather of this Winter has
not only affected the gas and water supply
and killed the peach buds, but other serious
damage resulting therefroM is becoming ap-
parent rs the weather moderatcs. Among
these we note the condition of the bridge
across the Little Elk at the Landing. The
early formation of ice made at low water
adhered 50 closely TO the pilings of the
bridge that when the tide came ill., instead
of floating on top, it was So fast frozen to
the pilings that the water overlooked it and
in that condition troze, adding that much
to the thickness of the ice This WAS prob
ably repeated several times until the ice
became nearly three feet in thickness, and
the pressure SO heavy each succeeding tide
that at last the pilings gave way their hold
upon the bed of the creek and were drawn
mp some fourteen inches on the upper side,
throwing the bed of the bridge out of level
entirely and weakening it to such an extent
that it will be in great danger of complete
demolition in case of Il heavy freshet ut the
time of the break up of the ice On Tues
day, the ic" was cut from around the pilngs
relieving them of the upward pressure, but
this will not lessen the danger from a
freshet. We trust, however, that the break
up will be accomplished so gradually tn
10 frpshet will occur and all further dam
age lie averted.

Death of a Former Cecil Countian

Increase in Our Water Facilities.

Messrs. Tygert & Co, of Smyrna, who
have for some time run 4 line of steam
bargeS between that town and Philadelphia,
are about to put on a line between that place
and Wilmington, We should think a line
of such boats between points on Elk River
would most aSsureily prove remunerative,
AS there are large amounts of grain and
produce shipped from this section in addi-
ton to the fruit crops, and the means of
transportation are now entirely inadequate.
Still further, the channel of our river is now
in process of being deepened to an extent
sufficient for the passage of any vessel or
steamer usually plying upon such rivers
All bars and Instructions will be removed.
and Il waterway opened to New York, Phila-
delphia, and Baltimore of such Il character
as never before enjoyed by our business
community. New wharfage of capacity sutfi-
cient for all the trade of this vicinity is to
be erected. Messrs. Singerly & Co., of Phila-
delphia, are about erecting a large and capa-
cious wharf, and every other improvement
necessary seems to be forthcoming, save the
one great matter of steam vessels True, a
step in that direction is being taken in the
building of the new tug at Chesapeake City
to be used to tow sailing vessels and barges
to and from our wharves; and number of
bargeS, with engines in them, making them
steam vessels of slow character, are al
ready in engaged in carrying coal: yet we
lack the steamboat or barge proper-a craft
capable of making ten to twelve miles an
hour, and carrying passengers AS well as
freight. Would it not be Il remunerative
investment to our mill owners to establish
such 4 line, and thus save the heavy freight
now paid? The fruit traffic, in season, would
be 4 source of large revenue to such a line,
as large quantities are shipped from every
landing upon the river. Elk Neck, depend
ing upon the river entirely for transporta-
ton of its crops, is one of the finest wheat
growing sections of Maryland We trust
those interested will give this matter proper
consideration.
