Great Destruction Of Mill Dams
Personals. Etc.

The heavy rain which fell on Sunday
last proved very disastrous to the mill
owners In this vicinity. Rowlcy's mill
dam was cut by stream so feet wide and
90 deep; we understand that 5000 will
hardly cover the damage. The dam At
Melbourne and also those at Swansgut
and Davis Cross Roads were broken and
considerable damage was suffered by the
owners Of each.
The small drain which runs under the
railroad track from Mr. Wharton's lot was
insufficient to carry of the surplus water
Monday and rs result the best part Of
the lot was submerged to the depth Of
from to 10 feet the pressure Of the wa
ter caused the track along side TO become
loose and unsafe and consequently the
train could not get up from Franklin un-
Ill the damage was repaired which was
about 9 p. m. The railroad company Is
now at work putting In q much larger
drain which will probably be able to carry
off all the water in the future.
Miss May McNasier. Of Pocomokc. and
Mr.. and Mrs. James X. Riggin are the

We are glad to learn that Mr.. l.. r.

which they shipped to northern markets.
Mr.. Thos. Dickcrs0n also found some
fresh water CLANS in the pond which had
nearly run dry. They were about the
size of n grain of corn; we are told that
they die u, this stage and never get any
larger.

More About Lewkowitz.

Our people remember well the fire oil
last September year ago which origina-
ted In and destroyed the storc.house,
dwelling and stock Of goods Of J. Lewko.
witt, the stables Of +. Il. Parsons and the
residence Of Mrs. Priscie Br:ddell, all sit
uatcd In the center Of the town. II was
said at the time that Lewkowitz's stock Of
goods was very low and his insurance
was up TO the top notch. Yet, there was
no proof that he was an incendiary and
the matter was hushed. Lewkowitz, how
ever. failed TO get his insurance, as one Oi
the companies In which he was insured
was insolvent and the other refused pay
mcnt on account Of the suspicious circum-
stances attending the fire. lie left Snow
Hill shortly ailcr and finally settled down
In Princess Anne, conducting business,
similar to that conducted by him in this
town. under the name Of Wolf l.. LewkO.
WITT lie appolnteda Trustee since Christ
mas and amer his affairs were settled up
had several hundred dollars left In ms
possession. The following from the Prin-
cess Anne Herald Of this week leads us 10
believe that Lewkowiiz is either grand
rascal or has met with some serious mis-.
fortune. The Herald says:
"Wolf l.. Lewkowitz, a German. came
from Snow Hill to this town the early
part Of last year and engaged in the mer-
camille business. Since Christmas he
has failed In business and his stock was
disposed Of by a trustee. lie has wife
and hve children. On the 10Th Of Fcbrua-
ry he babe his family good.by, and taking
with him between five and six hundred
dollars, he started up the peninsula for
the avowed purpt sc Of seeking suitable
business location. Since that time his
family has not heard word from him.
and they are very much afraid that some
misfortune has ovcrtakcn him. Ills fami-
~ are In destitute circumstances hut il Is
hoped this community will not lei them
suffer for the ncccssaries of life"
