The Deer Greek and Susquehanna Rail
road

For thirty years past the farmers of middle
Hartford have expressed the greatest anxiety
to have a railroad through their picturesque
and progressive country, and now that the
opportunity of securing it is AT hand they
manifest, apparently, remarkable degree
of indifference on the subject.
Through the exertions of Mr.. George NJ
Jewett and other publicsprited citizens
certain capitalists of New York and Pitts
burgh have agreed to take hold Of the en-
terprise and build the railroad so much need
ed, provided they receive sufficient assistance
from farmers along the route TO guarantee
continued interest in the road They have
offered to build the railroad at once, if the
right of way from Bel Air to the Susquehan
ma river is obtained and $4,000 subscribed
to the capital stock of the road.
The route passes through the most fertile
portion of the county, Astounding in water
powers which are now valueless for want of
railroad facilities. The development of the
canning industry through this section also
increases the necessity for railroad with out
lets to the great commercial centres Of the
country, and as the d. c. and S Railroad is to
be continued across the Susquehanna river,
its importance to Gamers is readily seen.
With everything conspiring to make Il
railroad necessary, the apathy on the part of
those who would be Immediately and largely
benefited thereby is certainly strange.
The canvassers, Messrs. John Moores and
E. NJ. Allen, have traversed the entire route,
and while they have secured the right of
and subscriptions amounting to about $3j.-
900 have been made, unless more is accom-
plished and the conditions required are fully
complied with the matter will be dropped,
and perhaps never taken up again in this gen.
Grafton. 1t is a singular fact that those who
own the smallest places are most ready to
give assistance to the project for instance,
man who by hard and persevering labor has
cient to enable him to buy eight acres of
land, has given three acres of his little home
stead for the sake of getting the railroad, cal
culating, rightly, that with the railroad the
remaining five acres will be worth four times
as much as the entire eight acres would sell
for without the railroad.
The directors have about reached the point
where their exertions will cease and the pro
ject be abandoned unless the remaining one
third of the right-of-way can be secured
either by gift or condemnation, and the S1j,-
900 additional needed be subscribed. The
time is short in which this must be done, if
done at all, and the Importance of the OBJ
iect to large section of country therefore
demands prompt action.

A DAMAGING SToRM.-The storm last Thurs
day afternoon was very severe throughout Har.
ford county and especially so near the Susquc.
hanna river, where great deal of damage was
done. The house of Mrs Kendall Myers, in Hayre
de Grace, occupied by Capt. E. T. Mitchell, was
struck by lightning. A portion of the roof was
torn of and the weather boarding and part OF
the ceiling was shattered, large looking glass
was broken and two children were stunned and
made deaf for several hours.
large frame house on Guard street, in the
same place, belonging to Mr. Murray Vandiver,
was also struck and damaged to the extent OF
$3.50; insured.
Vim. q. Whitney's large ice house, near the
canal was struck, set on fire and burned to the
ground. About one thousand tons of ice was
left exposed, but was afterwards covered with
straw. Mr.. Whitney's loss is about 5000 and
the insurance only $500.
The B. " o. depot at lIavre dc Grace was
struck but the damage was slight
Z. G.. Bowman's house, at Hopewel, was
struck and slightly injured.
In field opposite Mr.. James kenly's house,

The Importance of the ID. &. and $. Rail
road to Bel Air.

The Importance ofthe proposed Deer Creek
and Susquehanna Railroad to Bel Air has
not perhaps, been sufficiently considered by
the citizens of the town. They are as deep
| ly interested as any of the farmers along the
contemplated route and should lend their aid
in swelling the stock subscriptions to the
amount required to secure the road We
have all seen the wonderful impetus given 10
the town by the construction of the Maryland
Central Railroad. Substantial results have
| followed, in the way of increased Business, a
greater demand for labor and more abundant
prosperity than the town ever knew before
in its history
1t may be regarded as absolutely certain
that if the Deer Creek and Susquehanna Rail
road is built, the Maryland Central will be
converted into broad.gaugc as far, at least
as Bel Air, and more surprising advances
in the prosperity ofthe place will follow than
have been seen in connection with the narrow
gauge road. 1t was prophesied by the un
wise that when the narrow gauge railroad
should be completed to Baltimore the bust
ness of Bel Air would languish and every
body would go to Baltimore city to make
their purchases. These croakers, as the result
has proved, were mistaken. There are more
stores in Bel Air since the railroad has been
completed than there were before, and the
volume of trade has largely Increased. The
FACILITIES for business have developed several
new and important industries, including the
large steam -four mill of Messrs. Henry
Reckord & Sons, and minor businesses of
various kinds.
The building ofthc Deer Creek and Sus
quehanna Railroad would be worth a large
amount annually to the people of Bel Air in
the saving on the price of coal, which could
then be obtained here for at least 81 per ton
less than without this railroad.
In the matter of building lumber, too,
large amount would be saved annually il we
had the D. e. and S. Railroads. fact Of i'm
porance to every man who has q house of his
own or who hopes-as every industrious man
does-to live, some day, "under the shadow
of his own vine and fig-tree."
With broad-gaugc railroad, having con-
nectons with all parts of the country, man
ufactories of various kinds would doubtless
be established here, giving employment to
numbers of men, women and children, there
by increasing the general prosperity.
For these considerations and many others
which will occur to any one who will give
the subject few moments thought, it seems
to us that the people of Bel Air should lend
their aid towards securing the sum yet need
ed to build this railroad. 1t is a settled fact
that unless the liberal terms offered to us are
complied with, and that promptly the op-
portunity will pass away, perhaps forever.
A meeting of those wishing to further the
enterprise will be held in Bel Air on Satur-
day, July 18th, at2 p. NJ. We hope every
one interested in the prosperity of Bel Air
will attend.

Republicans Changing Their Base.


The Chicago platform, with its declara-
ton in favor of free whisky and dear neces-
saries of life, appears to be distasteful to very
many Republicans, and the celebrity with
which many influential journals and members
of that party are coming over TO the sup
port of the Democratic platform and Cleve-
land and Thurman, are political straws indi-
eating the drift public sentiment among
the people-the masses of whom, when not
blinded by partisan prejudice, are one in
patriotic feeling and in regard to their own
interests.
Besides Harper's. Weekly the New York
Times, Post, Stats Zeitung, Commercial Id
gerttser and other newspapers heretofore the
supporters of Republican measures and Re-
publican candidates, the following changes
of base from the Republican to the DEM
ocratic side are noted :
In Indiana, Harrsons own State, the
Evansville Post, a German Republican paper,
and the Daily Bulletin, the official Republi.
can paper of Randolph county, ATE out in
OppOsltlOu W UencTdl llaTTlSOD.
The Labor Signal, published in Indanap-
oils, and the organ OF the labor of the State,
was strong advocate of Judge Gresham,
who is q protcctionist FOR the protection of
labor, but it repudiates General Harrison and
the platform on which he is placed by his
party. 1t discusses the question of protec-
tion to labor with marked ability and with
entire courtesy to General Harrison, and
denounces his tariff and tax policy as the
deadly foe ofour industries.
The Christian Union, of New York, the
Adcance and the STANDARD, of Chicago three
of the most prominent and influential reli-
gious papers of the country-all edited by
Republicans, find it impossible to support the
Republican platform. The Standard says
the free-whisky plank will lose the Repubii-
cans Hundreds Of thousands of voles",

detection in their ranks on the issue of q
revision of the tariff and are preparing q
bill of their own to secure reduction of the
surplus, as a substitute for the Mills bill
Any reduction they may propose which
leaves a tax on the necessaries of life and
benefits the few at the expense of the many
will not meet with favor anywhere. Their
repentance comes too late.
The voters of the United States will OBJ
serve the fact that the only reduction in taxes
proposed by the Republican platform is the
abolition of those on whisky and tobacco.
The Democratic platform proposes reduc-
ton in the taxation on and the consequent
cheapenng of all those articles that consti.
tute the cauy needs of life in every house.
The idea appears to prevail that the D.
Q. and s. Railroad will DO built whether the
people of Hartford aid the enterprise or not.
We are assured that this is a mistake. The
only conditions upon which it will be made
have been definitely stated and unless they
are complied with soon the contractors will
give up the job.
