OF making many railroads there
seems to be no end. Citizens of Caro-
line county are agitating the question
OF a competing railway line along the
PENINSULA. Advocates of the enter
prise propose with the aid of Cecil,
Kent, Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset
ana worcester, to secure q charter for
another Eastern Shore Railway. A
mass meeting was held in the Court
House at Denton last week to give the
subject shape. States ATTORNEY Lewis
presided and z. P. Steele, of the Caro-
line Democrat, was appointed Secretary.
The ultimate object, it was said, will be
to secure the encouragement of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which
has for years had in view the building
OF railway from point near Elkton
to the southern extremity of the PEN
insula. The meeting proposed to Sc
cure from each of the counties trav-
ersed a subscription of fifty thousand
dollars and the residue necessary to
complete the road the B. & o. would

LARGE FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA
Shortly after eleven o'clock Monday
night fire broke ont in the large milli-
merry goods store of Marks Bros, at the
northwest corner of Eigth and Arch
streets, and in less than an hour the
building and its contents were com
pletely destroyed. The flames spread
in every direction, damaging property
on the north, east, south and west.
They reached across Arch street, and
greatly damaged some of the buildings
there. They also partly consumed the
trimmings and millinery store of Sohne-
man Bros. & Co., north of Marks Broth
ers' building on Eigth street; but per-
haps the greatest damage was done on
the east side Of Eigth street, where the
stores of Adolph Heller, Strouse, Than
hauser & Co. and others, whose prop
erty was reached and consumed, were
located. The losses are very heavy
estimated at a million of dollars.

The retail situation of the

Fashion, and Economy draw
at sight.
These divers and contradic-
tory demands of the period call
for a great deal of attention. 1t
seems a paradox that much
current interest in the store
should be divided between the
things for midsummer and
midwinter. Furs and Lawns,
Ioboggan Sleds and Cling
