Railroad Travel Interrupted by

The early train from Port Deposit to
Columbia on Thursday morning, when
near its destination, found the track OBJ
structed by the gorged ice from Column
bia dam, which had broken away and
covered the track of the Frederick Di
vision for some distance After deten-
ton of one hour and a-half the tracks
were cleared and the train got through
safely. On the return trip at 1910 A. N.
the ice had .orged at Star Rock, seven
miles below Columbia, and again COW
cred the tracks for one hundred yards
with ice several feet deep, and badly
damaging the embankments. A large
force of men were put to work, and after
six hours delay travel was resumed. The
water having receded at ono time, the
gorged ice from the dam at Columbia in
vaded the lock of the Tidewater Canal
at WriShtsville and threatened destruc-
to the tive-mile level south of that place.
Thursday night the ice had largely dis
appeared from the dam, and the fears for
the safety of the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge are past. No considerable body
of ice now remains in the Susquehanna
south of Columbia, and all danger from
an inundation at Port Deposit are be-
lieved to be over for this season. Be-
tween Port Deposit and Havre de Grace
the packed ice has entirely disappeared,
but there is but little slush ice running.
Navigation by tugboats was resumed on
Thursday,

ed Mr.. Phillips would sign, that the
company might be sure that the permits
sion had been given before they shipped
the machine. This postal card was sign
ed on the 25th day of February, after
which the man Facer left.
On Wednesday, March It'll, two other
men, strangers, visited Mr.. Phillips, and
stated that they had filled hrr5 order, and
that the machine was no. Nue. railroad
station, and demanded the money, $165
or note for that amount. Mr.. Phillips
stated that he had purchased no such ma
chine, and had only given permission to
Facer to exhibit it on his farm. The
menreplied that they knew nothing about
his arrangements with Facer, that they
had his order for the machine, and ex-
pected him to pay for it, and commenced
using violent and threatening language.
through which they induced Mr.. Phillips
to sign the note.
Some person who was present followed
after the two men, whom he saw drive to
George Pennypacker' residence in the
Marsh, where he soon found that the
sharpers were about playing the same
game on Mr.. Pennypaeker, and conclud-
ed to put the latter on his guard. The
two men used the same violent, threat
ening language. but Mr.. Pennypacker
proved to be of sterner stuff, and refused
to sign the note, when che men left,
threatening to make hlu pay three times
the cost of the machine.
Farmers in this neighborhood should
be on the lookout for such customers.

CharleStOWn Items,

A wheelwright is needed here badly.
Our fisherman are very busy hanging
nets, painting boats and getting everything
in readiness for the shad season. 1t is the
opinion that the season is two weeks be-
hind its usual time, but Harry and Will
propose to have fresh shad for Easter.
Mr., Arthur Logan, our sail maker, is
very busy, having all the work he can do.
Art is good workman, and is sure to
please.
Mrs. Louisa Richardson is visiting friends
in Wilmington.
DIR. y. b. Morrison and wife paid US a
flying visit on Tuesday last.
Our pastor Rev. E. E. White will be with
us again on Sunday. 1t Is matter of con-
graduation that we are to have him for
another year. His pulpit last Sunday was
ably filled by Rev. Samuel Logan.
We can now boast OF a tailor, and the
dudes need not go to the city, but if they
will give Patrick a call he will please the
most fastidious. For the present his shop
is located near the corner of Water and
Frederick streets, but lie will soon remove
to more commodious quarters.
In our next we hope to be able to give
you the particulars of a wedding soon to
take place-that is if we get an invitation.
Madame Rumor says that we are soon to
loose one of our charming school marms,
and that a certain 3. & o. gentlemen is to
take hand in the affair. IDLER.

"A Shocking Accident.

An invalid daughter of Mr.. Patrick Nc
Gready, ten Or eleven years of age, met
with terrible accident on Saturday last,
which will probably cause her death.
The child is deaf mute and has never
been able to walk. 1t has been the Gus
tom Of her parents to keepher strapped in
small chair made for the purpose, to
which a line is attached made fast IN such
a manner as to prevent her from over
turning the chair, and she would sit this
way all day long, apparently contented.
On Saturday last Mrs. McGready placed
the little cripple in her chair near the
stove, the weather being cool, and left
her little brother to watch her, but for
got to attach the line to prevent her from
overturning the chair. The little brother
engaged in play also forgot her. and
while thus forgotten she upset her chair
falling upon the stove. Her chm and
neck pressed upon the top and edge of
the hot stove and her body rested against
the side. AS she cannot speak or make
a sound above whisper she could give
no alarm, and would probably burned to
death there had not Mr.. McGready who
was operating his carpet loom in an ad-
joining room CHANGED to glance through
the open door. When lifted from the
stove some of the flesh from her neck ad-
hered to it, SO badly was she burned.
She presented pitiable sigh, her chin,
neck and breast being terribly burrt in
places actually cooked. The poor little
thing cannot convey any idea of her suf-
fering but must mutely bear it. 1t is
uncertain whether or not she will sur

The Feast of the Passover.

The Feast of the Passover, the first of
the three annual feasts instituted by
Moses and concentrating the Staying
of all the first-born in Egypt and the
exodus of the children of Israel from the
land of bondage, began at shutdown on
Monday last. The most important fea-
ture of the feast is the celebration of the
Sedar at the homes of the Hebrews. A
5ountiful table is spread, surrounded by
all the members of the family, and re-
igious exercises are conducted by the
head of the house. According to the law
of Moses one year-old lamb, free from
all blemish, and roasted whole, together
with bitter herbs, is partaken of. Prayers
for deliverance from their oppressors are
offered. Unleavened bread is eaten and
unfermented raisin wine is partaken of
during the eight days of the festival
The first and the last days are usually
observed, but orthodox Hebrews cele-
brate four days. The cooking utensils
and dishes used are either entirely new
or have only been used at this feast on
previous occasions.
The feast is observed by several He
brew families resident in this town.
