IMPRISONED IN A CAIssoN-On Monday
morning seven m en-, who were at work in Gals
son at the bottom of the Susauehanna river, at
Havre de Grace, constructing one of the piers
for the B. and o. Railroad bridge, became i'm
prisoped and remained under water for five
hours. The caisson is large wooden box, bot
tom upwards, in which the men work as in o
diving bell, being supplied with air from
pump above. As the mud is removed the air is
withdrawn and the caisson settles. The acct
dent was caused by the caisson settling too far.
To avoid being smothered in the mud the men
rushed to the entrance shaft, which is cylinder
feet in diameter and Is feet long. Fortunately
the air-pump remained intact and although
cramped they were safe. In settling, the caisson
careened to one side, topping over some of the
masonry which was building above It, and 1t
took five hours to remove the debris and gain
access to the shaft. Communication was made
with the imprisoned men by means Of signals
made with hammers. One of the men, Kelly,
seemed much exhausted and his head was slight
ly cut. When they got out Gen. Smith, the
contractor for building the piere, gave each
the men $20 and the people of Hayre de Grace
exerted Themselves IN making them comforta
ble They fully realized the danger of their
situation, but were confident that their COM
rades above would do all that could be done to
extricate them.

Twenty Barrels of Corn to the Acre

Mr. Robert A. Cole son of the late Alanson
Cole, who has been sick and confined to his house
for some time, died last Thursday night OF con-
sumption. MIR. Cole was in his 2lst year and en-
Joyed the confidence Of many friends. The fu-
neral took place from his late residence on Sunday
afternoon last, at O'clock and was largely at
tended. lnterment at the M. e. Church, of this
place. Rev. Il. X. Murphy conducted the funer-
al services. The pail bearers were Messrs. q. e.
Jackson, James Cole, Howard Cole, Jefferson
Moore, Howard Moore, Coleman Moore all of
whom were cousins of the deceased.
The sudden shower on Tuesday last was a well
come stranger, and served to whet our appetite
for more. some of our farmers have been put
ting in their wheat in clouds of dust, while
Others idly watched the clouds for the longed for
rain. When they consider that it costs bushe
OF wheat to pay chunk of boy for days
work, and board him in the bargain, it doesn't
seem to matter much whether they SOW or not.
Schools in this locality have been in session for
some weeks. While the attendance has been
good and the schools pleasant, we regret that the
schools are not visited by parents. IL is very
important matter that a friendly association
should exist between parent and teacher Par
ents should feel 1t duty TO see that their chill
dren are properly instructed. STRANGER.

A DIFFICULT OPERATION SUCCESSFULLY PER
FORMED. Mr.. Timothy Foley, of the Brick
House farm, whose skull was fractured by being
thrown against bridge near Magnolia, by a
frightened horse, on the 4th of September, is re-
covering. He was unconscious for nearly two
weeks after the accident, and the ply
sicinas of the neighborhood, Drs. Billingslea,

concluded that Inconsistencies was due to pres
sure of piece OF the skull or clot of blood on
the brain and to save his life an operation
would be necessary. Accordingly, on the 18th
of September Mr.. Foley was taken to Chester,
Pa, where the operation of trepanning was per-
formed by DR.. J. L. Forwood, assisted by Drs.
j. f. NJ Forwood, Evans and Graham. A large
piece of bone was removed from off the brain.
The patient at once regained consciousness,
which he had not experienced since the acct
dent, and has recovered, and is now talking of
returning to his home, near Magnolia. Mr..
Thomas j. Sullivan, of Bush, accompanied MIR.
Foley to Chester, and remained with him
until he was out of danger.

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO INJUNCTION CASE.
Answers were filed on Tuesday in the Circuit
Court for Hartford county to the bills of com.
plant of the County Commissioners of Hartford
county, asking the court to compel the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company to remove
the abutments of their bridge from the bed of the
Edgewood road near Shows Mill, in the first
district. The company's answer, through its
counsel Messrs. Archer q VanBibber, is volu-
minous, occupying IL pages of foolscap, print
ed on a typewriter.
While admitting certain allegations in the
bills for injunction, it denies that 1t has in
frnged upon or olstructed the road, or imped-
ed the public user thereof. 1t denies that 1t has
narrowed the bed of the road or that the struc-
ture leaves the road in an irregular or crooked
shape, as charged In the bill of complaint, or
that the passage-way between said abutments is
wholly insufficient for the transportation and
passage of persons and property along the said
public road, as charged in the bill of complaint
The answer also recites that the work was done
with all necessary skill and engineering knowl-
edge and with the knowledge and assent of the
County Commissioners. 1t also denies that the
abutments interfere with the flow of surface
water from the lands above or cause the same to
interfere with the public use of the road
The case will probably be heard by Judge
Waters tomorrow.
