A Defence of st. Patrick's Day.

10 Edit0r Of The IEgis and hteliigeacer:
MIR. EDIToR:-Ten years agoI sent you
short letter, TO tell you some facts about st
Patrick's Day, that outrageously abused day
more abused than any day In all the calendar
Now, you know what sort of Il day Monday was
not storm of any kind reported from any
quarter, but, as the Baltimore San says, "dawn.
ed clear and balmy, and so continued through
out the day." just such day was it in 1888
just such day was 1t In 1882, just exactly so In
1880 In 1881 clear Till towards night, after
which 1t rained. Four clear ones out of five.
Hurrah for st. Patrick's Day! And this year il
was the best, excepting four or five days, In
forty. Good for st. Patrick's Day! Mr. Edi.
tor, can tell you about all the days named
after the famous serpent sansher beginning
with 1856, To this year-29 years. Here is the
list:
Fifteen clear days. 2 heavy SHOWS, 5 squally,
z changeable. Now, If you shrug your shout
ders at this, and say mon Credo," like the man
who does not believe that his bill has been paid,
come down, as soon as the roads are better, and
l will show you the receipt.
In talking with friend yesterday, on that
semper virent subject, the weather, pleasantly
remarked "What nice st. Patrick's Day I"
He almost snarled at me, 1.-THE day is not over
yet. Wait" j did wait, and he waited, and
he is still waiting.
A year ago, on March 17lh, our roads were
very good; but now they are, "horribite dictu."
You can hardly express il in English. But the
Equinox will soon be over, and then we may
hope for better travelling. G.
ChuichDiie, March 1871.

Accident on the Maryland Central
A Car Tumbles Down an Embankment.
SLIGHT CAsUALTIEs-No LOSS OF LIFE

An alarming accident occurred Monday morn
Ing to the train from Delta to Baltimore, on the
Maryland Central Railroad, which, fortunately,
was not attended with loss of life or serious in
jury.
Shortly after crossing the Oyershot trestle,
which is about mile and a-quarter south of
Fallston, the rear car jumped the track on the
curve near MIR. Geo. Wards wheat field, and was
dragged about 30 yards on the cross-tles and
then fell over an embankment about fifteen feet
high, on the east side The strength of the
coupling and the fact that the train was in the
act of stopping, prevented the car from going
over suddenly. 1t toppled over slowly on its
side, and the ground being soft ii did not get to
the bottom of the embankment, but lay with
the wheels upwards. The fall was SO gradual
that one man had time to break or open VIM
dow, and as the car went over he crawled out on
the upper side and when the car stopped he was
perched safely on the trucks.
There were about thirty passengers in the car
including four ladies'. The conductor, brakes,
man and passengers from the other cars ran to
the upset car and broke open the doors, letting
the passengers out. They were covered with
cinders, and many of them were bruised and had
their clothing torn. Nearly all were badly
frightened. A sense of relief was felt when it
was found that none were killed.
Persons in the next car say that as the car
went over its passengers were seen cinging to
the seats, until the latter began to be reversed,
when they dropped off one by one into the strug.
Cling mass below them
ba Ia EN-
turned over, setting the car on fire, but the
flames were soon extinguished
Mr. Wilson West, of Pleasantvlle, had his
nose broken and his leg bruised Miss Alice
Watson, of Fallston, had her arm bruised !;
Thomas Brooks, of Constitution, had his head
badly cut; Mr.. Lamm, of Norfolk, Va, had his
face bruised; DR.. Heaps, Henry Heaps, John
Cayman and others were also slightly injured
The passengers warmly praise the promptness
and energy shown by Conductor George Martin
and Brskesman VIM. Hart, In extrlcating the
imprisoned passengers.

The Bio BRIDGE AT WATsoN's IsLAND.-The
caissons on which the six piers of the Baltimore
and ohio's new bridge across the susquehannu
river will rest are now being made at Hayre de
Grace by Gen. William Sooy Smith d Son, con.
tractors, of Chicago. These caissons are con.
structed of the heaviest timbcrs, con the div
ng-bell principle" as Gen. Smith puts 1t, and
are made perfectly alright. The principle is
known as the pneumatic one, and was first sue
cessfully used by the late Wendell Bollman in
constructing the immense bridge on the Cape
Fear river in 1868. The air being exhausted the
caissons are sunk to the bottom of the river and
on to bedrock, and then filed in with solid
masonry.
These cassons will each be sunk about 20
| feet below the surface of the water and will
make solid foundation for the bridge. On the
Hartford shore there will be great stone abut-
ment. There will be two abutmeuts on the
island and support on the Cecil shore In all
there will be ten ubutmehts for The bridge to
rest upon.

Trying to Get Depot in Old Town.

The Maryland Central Railroad Company
is seeking legislation to enable it to get far
ther into the city. The House Committee on
Corporations last Friday reported bill to
this effect. A provision in the bill limits
the route to the territory between Jones's
Falls and East street and not to cross Cav
street. The bill also provides for a station
in East Baltimore.
The merchants and business men of Old
Town appreciate the importance ofhaving a
depot for the Maryland Central in that part
OF the city and are urging the Legislature to
pass the bill. A depot in Old Town would
also be of inestimable benefit to the people
of Hartford and Baltimore counties, many of
whom find there market for their produce.
To extend the narrow-gauge railroad from
North Avenue station to Old Town, however,
would cost great deal of money, and this is
what the company at present could not sup
ply. The merchants and property hold
ers of Old Town are ready and willing to
lend all the aid they can to further the project
The Legislature is also asked to endorse the
second mortgage bonds of the company to
the amount of $500, 600. These bonds are
now hypothecated fer one-half their face val
ne, and the debt must be paid by the first o,
July next, otherwise the bonds will be for
'eited. 1t is claimed that if the city endorse
ment can be obtained the bonds could be re
leased and sold at or near par, netting the
Company from $4,000 to 100000. The
city of Baltimore has a controlling interest
in the Western Maryland Railroad, and It is
also hoped that this could be exerted so as te
secure privilege for the Maryland Central
Company to use the depot of the Western
Maryland on Hllen street.
In any event the citys endorsement would
place the second mortgage bondholders in q
much more favorable position than they are
now.

Mr.. Lamm and one or two Others walked
back to Bel Air, refusing to 60 on the
train again. The other passengers were taken
on board the train and went on to Baltimore.
The accident was caused by the spreading
Of the track. The escape of many from instant
death was entirely providential.
In going up the heavy grade, near Baldwin,
loud noise was heard and the passengers star
ed, expecting another accident. The noise was
made by the coupling of the baggage car break
ing. Ropes we're utilized to repair the break
and the train arrived in Baltimore without fur

were left destitute and without work at Mag

Preparations to receive them and they had no
excuse for not going to work at once, except
that they did not like the work they were re.
quired to do. lie says he offered them 10 cents
day each more than the standard wages
which was 81, and so cents day extra TO the

RAILROAD SURVEYS The Pennsylvania Rail-
road survey ors engaged in SURVEY ing ii route for
railroad from Aberdeen b, way of priesthood
Bridge and Tbomass Run TO Bel Air, arrived
here last Saturday. On Monday morning they
returned overa portion of the route, after which
they will begin survey from Priesthood Bridge
to the Susquehanna river. The surveyors ap-
pearsd to work with great care, evidently en-
deavoring to select the best route. Nothing
definite Is known of the intentions of either the
Baltimore and Ohio or the Pennsylvania compa-
MES in regard TO branch railroads through Har-
ford county, but it is believed that the railroad
most likely to be built by the latter company
would be an extension of their Philadelphia and
Baltimore Central by way of Deer Greek and
Bel Air to Bay View or some other station on
the F., w. and b. Railroad. Such a load would
deprive the Baltimore and Ohio's Philadelphia
branch of a large amount of local traffic which
ii would otherwise receive. 1t is also conjec
tured that if the Baltimore and Ohio builds g
branch road over their recent survey by way Of
| Churchville and Cooksvillc north, il will be car
rying out q scheme for reaching the Pennsylva
mia coal regions.
