the spine last week while working on the

A number of Italians that assisted in
/ the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad remained in the county. Several
have purchased small tracts of land which
| they work industriously. Their former
| friends in Italy would hardly know them as
aristocratic landholders. One of the women,
accompanied by her child both of them
well dressed, boarded the cars on recent
| Sunday morning for Jersey City, where
they intended visiting relatives.
1t would appear that August is the
favorite month for marriage among the
colored people of Cecil county. The record
of marriage license granted by the clerk of
the court goes to prove this. Generally the
number of licenses granted to white persons
far outnumber those issued TO colored peo-
pie. August was notable exception to the
rule. OF II licenses granted II were to col
ored persons. Only six We're granted in
July, and all but one were to white persons
| We were shown on Wednesday '"Tip
| pecanoe" medal. 1t Is in the possession OF
Mr.. James Morgan, the well known watch
man at the North street crossing, of the 2.
w. & B. railroad, and belonged to his father,
Thomas Morgan, who was an old-line Wing
and voted for General Harrison in 1910. The
medal on one side has portrait of the
candidate witt the inscription "Major Gen.
w. H. Harrison, born February 9th, 1773."

cabin and the words, "The Peoples Choice
in the year 1870"
We were shown this week photograph
of the ruins of Ceclton NJ. Z. Church taken
by our amateur photographer, Mr.. H. C.
| Hurn. We can vouch for the merit of the
photographs, having been favored with a
view of the original. A photograph of the
team in which Mr.. Hurn and three legal
gentlemen of Elkton visited the cyclone,
! was also taken. The horses driven were
burned the following Friday morning in the
Howard House stables. The portraits of
the young lawyers who were seated in the
carriage are very good likenesses.
| Andrew Enos, who since the part of
the Lieberman house in which he resided
was burned, has lived in building in the
rear Of John 7. Bennett s. Co., last Satur.
day night noticed what appeared to be
something burning on the roof of the shed
attached to Benefits store. He informed
Mr.. VIM. Bennett, who has charge of the
provision department of the fact and the
latter proceeded to investigate. 1t was dis
covered that sparks were emerging from
the top of a stove pipe on the top of the
shed, of Mr.. John Long adjoining, which
reached to the top of the shed of the Ben
netts. Foot in the pipe was burning. A
bucket of water put out the fire.
