A FALSE ALARM.-On Thursday morning.
about half-past one O'Clock, MIR. j. r. Ely, of
the clerks office, who boards at Sweets Hotel,
Bel Air, heard noise which in the stiffness of
the night sounded like the tapping of drill
upon iron. 1t proceeded from the bank build
ing and the natural conclusion was that burg
lars were at work upon the bank safe. Mr..
Ely thereupon aroused Messrs. F. s. Evans, an
officer of the bank, w. T. L. Tallaferro and
Walter w. Preston, all of whom board at
Sweets Hotel. The noise continued and the
trio, armed with pistols and pokers CALAMITY
advanced upon the supposed burglar or bur-
lars Fortunately for the burglars, perhaps,
none were TO be seen and it was found that the
peculiar noise was caused by water dropping
from an overlooking spout upon tin can on
the ground. Even when near the place the
noise closely resembled that made in drilling
hole in iron. The courage of the party was, at
any rate, tested.
