The Missing Steamer Celtic Safe.

After a voyage of thirty days under
sail from New York the disabled steam.
ship Celtic reached Queenstown on Mon
day last in tow Of the Britannia. All
were well on board.
The Celtic left New York for Liver
pool on December 18th, and when so
hours out broke the propeller shaft.
No panic occurred, although some of
the passengers were greatly excited.
The ship tossed about for several days,
going i'll southerly direction, although
efforts were made to turn her head to-
ward New York. Finally, fair wind
blowing, it was decided to pursue a
course toward England. In the first
nine hours afterwald the ship made
SO miles.
Soon afterwards the steamship Ar

getting along SO well under sail she

A great clamor arose when it became
known that four passengers could be

drawn among the saloon passengers for

were offered for the privilege of 3 berth,
but the offer was refused. During the
last two weeks the passengers got sailed

they met the Britannia.

ABOUT THE WAY OF 1T.

AS the subject of roads and new road
law is uppernost in Cecil at this time.
We give below the opinion in brief of a
gentleman who has given the subject
study, and who has for years past been
familiar with the workings Of the road
law in Cecil county.
NV argument is that of the $4,000
now paid to inspectors and supervisors
not more than one-half is actually ex-
pended upon the roads and small bridges
in charge of the supervisors; that under
the strict regulations Of the proposed
law, the whole amounts ($12. OO0) will be
paid out upon the roads (the bridges
being placed under the care of the Road
Commissioners, and they will be put in
condition twice as good as now, that
S., 900, the balance of the yearly outlay,
is as much as should be allowed in any
one year for extra and new work; and
finally that limitation IN annual ex-
penditures will aid the commissioners
in resisting the unreasonable and in
creasing demands for more improvements
than the county can afford on its present
taxable basis, to make each year. Per-
haps $50, 900 will provo insufficient for
the first years operations under the new
law, in consequence of the very bad
state of many roads, and the ACCESSIBILITY
ofrepairing them extensively before offer
ing them to contractors; and probably it
would be wisest to levy an extra $1,000
or s25, 900 in all, to start with. But
there should be some limitation in the
usual annual expenditures. The most
complete laws that l have examined
upon the subject of road and bridge re-
pairs and improvements have contained
a provision regulating the costs. Notice
ably is this true of the law for Balti-
more county, one of the best regulated
counties in the State, which law limits
the cost to rate within fraction of
| what is proposed for Cecil county.

A STRANGE HORROR.
Waste Oil Sets Fire to Train-Three
Women Burned to Death.

The engineer Of train No. . between
Welsville, n. Y, and Bradford, Pa,
while rounding a curve two miles east of
Bradford at 90 A. NJ. on Tuesday last,
discovered on the track stream of waste
oil which was flowing fIom a tank. He
reversed his engine, but was too late, and
the brakes could not hold the train. 1t
dashed into the oil, which Was fresh and
gassy. Sparks from the tire-box ignited
the oil, and the flames developed the
train, which was running down steep
grade 100 feet to the mile 1T the rate of
45 miles an hour. So intense was the
heat that the windows cracked and fell
in almost Immediately. The coach was
filled with about 40 passengers, and there
was rush for the doors, but the heat
was SO intense that the panic stricken
passengers were driven back and forced
to jump through the @indows, lAndiny
in tue snow, which was fortunately deep
at tins point.
At curve half mile from where the
flames seized the train the engine and
cars were derailed. Three women named
Kitty Moran Mrs. Lewis Fair and Mrs.
Connolly or Jones, were burned to death.
Miss Moran was found hanging outside
the coach graspng the window sill. The
injured were Prof. Taught. fatally; Pat

daughter and son, of Aiken; G. w. Van,

Patsy Sexton, the engineer, made him
self a hero by standing by his engine in
the face of certain death. The wounded
were being taken care of by President
Carter and Superintendent Williams, with
full corps of physicians and attendants.
The passenger coach was entirely con.
sumed and the baggage car partially de-

partially saved. The baggage master and

SENATOR CALLS SCHEME.
A Plan by the Florida Statesman to Scat
ter the Surplus Dollars.

The Philadelphia Times says the very
latest scheme for diminishing the surplus
is suggested by Florida statesman, Sem
ator Call. He proposes that Congress
shall establish University of Medicine
at Washington, ''for the advancement of
science and the discovery of improved
methods for the treatment and cure of
disease" starting it with appropriate
buildings and an endowment of a million
dollars. If it is absolutely necessary to
get rid of the money in the Treasury,
without regard to the constitutional pro-
priety, it is possible that Congress might
make worse use Of it than in endowing
some of the existing institutions for orig
inal scientific research; but if there is
any one thing less needed than another
in this country it is one more college of
medicine. and if there is any one place
where such college is least likely to be
useful or successful it is in Washington.
There is no great danger that Senator
Calls scheme will ever get beyond the
pigeon holes of a committee room, but it
is not wholly without Importance as an
illustration of the wild devices of which
American invention is capable under the
stimulous of Treasury surplus.

In the Senate number of bills were
introduced, but none of general interest.
Another effort was made, without sue
cess, to go into the election for State
treasurer and police commissioner at an
earlier date than February :.
Leave was obtained for an act to enable
the city of Baltimore to raise $3.50, 00C
to complete the Harford-run sewer. In
the House of Delegates leave was OBJ
tanned for bill to make voting compul-
sorry in Baltimore county under So pen
atty; also to abolish the penitentiary
workshops unless full wages are paid
foa labor.
Four indecisive votes were taken in
the Maryland Legislature Oh Thursday
for United States Senator to succeed
Hon. James b. Groome. In the Senate
an order was adopted increasing the
number of members of the committee on
Chesapeake bay and tributaries. There
was a discussion of the subject of re-
ducing the number of County Commits
sioners for Montgomery county. State
Treasurer Compton submitted report
showing the financial condition of the
State treasury. The House of Delegates
discussed the right OF the Legislature to
adjourn during the progress of an cleo
ton for United States Senator.
