Death of Fl, M, Oantwell.

With feelings, mingled with sorrow and
regret, we are called upon to chronicle
the death of Mr.. Harry NJ. Cantwell,
chief accountant of the Delaware Divi-
sion, which occurred on Wednesday at
about o'clock, at Smyrna, Del, to
which place he mas resided with his wife
and two small children for some time.
Mr.. Cantwell was born in Cecil county
some twenty-seveny years ago. He attended
tho Elkton Academy, after which he
acted as clerk for Mr.. Thos. Drennen OF
the same town. Shortly after this he Sc
cured position on the Delaware Rail
road, and commenced work at New Cas-
tie. From there he went to Wilmington
and became clerk to Mr.. John Mahoney,
General Supervisor of Delaware Railroad,
and held the position until about two
years back, when he was made chief ac-
countaut in Superintendent Mills office.
In all places he labored faithfully, and
always exhibited an aptness rarely found
in one of his years. For more than year
he has been declining, and his friends no.
ticed the rapid changes for the worse
with sad regret.
Mr.. Cantwell married Miss Josie Black
of Charlestown, Nd, who survives him
with two little boys. To the widow and
babes we extend sympathies, warmed by
the kindliest relations had with the hus-
band and father.
The funeral of Mr.. Cantwell's remains
will take place at the New Cemetery,
Elkton, to-day. Services in the Presby-
terrain Church of the same town.

A Great Occasion.

On Wednesday night, Oct. list, the
new exhibition building just completed
for the Cecil Fair, will be opened by a
grand hop. The affair will be managed
by gentlemen fully competent to carry it
successfully through. Not only young,
but old, will grace the occasion by their
presence. There will be none of this IL
am-better .than-you-are," there. Not only
will Cecil's fair daughters be there, but
Delaware will be fairly represented, by
both youth and beauty. 1t will undoubt-
edly be the greatest event that has yet
taken place in Elkton. Just think OF the
immense dancing room 200 feet long by
40 feet wide. Then picture to yourself
an orchestra of twenty pieces, under the
leadership of Professor Richie, making
merriest music for three hundred happy
dancers. If you fail to attend, you will
miss the greatest treat OF the season. &

Condition Of Cecil County Roads,

MRssRs EDIToRs:-. knowing that your journal
has widespread circulation in Cecil County,
and trusting that few words of criticism Will be
wisely accepted by the Commissioners, we Do
sire to speak through this medium. In the first
place tho road leading of the Newark road to
Baldwin's Factory, when approaching the Elkton
cross roads, is in pitiable condition The hill is
covered with large stones, and the ruts in places
arc deep and dangerous. In the second place we
would speak of the bridge that spans the Big Elk
creek, lust north of ElktOn. This bridge has been
standing in halfwrecked condition since the
recent floods mot recent, however, as 1t occur
red some months back) The fording, it is true
is passable, but at night it Is made dangerous by
being so dark. The passage to the crock on either
side is far from pleasant and on the south side
there is but q single track, making It an ugly
place to meet and pass teams, especially SO for
ladies. The bridge should he repaired at once for
travel If this ls not done before the Fair, 1t Will
have the tendency to keep away many exhibitors
living In the upper section of the county This is
all We have to say, and we trust the Commission
ers OF Cecil will see that the matter of repairing
the bridge for travel be at once looked into.
Respect, TRAVELLERS.

for killing Geo. W. Oldham, was con-
victed in Cecil County Court on Wednes-

What benefit does Cecil county get
from those Convicted of violating the local
option law, when they prefer to stay in
jail, rather than pay the fine imposed ?
