An attempt was made at an early hour on
Tuesday morning to blow up the ouble.arch-
ed stone bridge Of the Frederick and Balti-
more Turnpike Company at the end of East
Patrick street, crossing Carroll creek. The
bridge is so constructed that itinterferes with
the flow of the creek in the event of high
water and causes the water to back up on the
adjoining property. The Legislature was petit
toned to pass an order compelling the turn
pike company to widen the bridge. The bill
was lost Property owners along the line of
the creek have grown very indignant over the
action of the turnpike company, and this
attempt to blow up the bridge is presumed
to be the outcome of this feeling.
