Maryland Matters.

The extensive evaporating factory OF
Mr.. Severn, at Millington, was destroyed
by fire about ten o'clock Thursday night.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but IS
believed to have been the work OF an in
cendiary, as there had been no fire in the
building for several weeks. The loss is
not ascertained, but it is quite heavy.
A fatal cunning accident happened on
Saturday in Cecil county, near the Pen
nsylvania line. Charles Hickey, aged
about 15 years, while cunning. near Pilot
town with relative few years older
than himself, was shot by the accidental
discharge OF a gun in the hands OF the el-
der lad. The load entered his abdomen,
infiicting wound from which he died
few hours later.
Mrs. Emeline L. Davis, widow OF the
late DR.. David Davis, and mother OF Nay
lor Davis, merchant at Cecilton, and
Judge David P. Davis OF the Cecil county
orphans court, died at the residence OF
the latter on Thursday, in her SD year.
She had been a sufferer for some years
from nervous debility, and the excite
ment attending the burning OF the resi-
deuce and store of her son Naylor,
brought on an attack of paralysis. Her
funeral took place Saturday, from the
residence of Judge Davis.

Probably a Fatal Accident.

Yesterday morning as Mr.. George Ro-
sean of near Porters was driving out of
his lane, through which passes the
track Of the Del City and Newark r. R.
he met with an accident which will pro-
baby terminate fatally. He had just
crossed the track when the hind wheel of
his carriage was struck by the engine of
the a. m, express from Delaware City.
The carriage was torn to pieces, and Mr..
Rosean was only saved from instant
death by his grasp on the lines; as 1t was
he was hurled into the ditch at the side
OF the track. and when picked up, it was
thought that he sustained serious injury
to his hip. Mr.. Rosean's advanced age,
being over 80 years of age, makes it more
than probable that the shock will be
more than he can stand, but we hope for
the best. Further particulars could not
be obtained.
