Deer Park Hotel Robbed.

Early Wednesday morning burglars
broke into the Deer Park Hotel, at New
ark, Del. and made haul amounting to
over 5000. An entrance was probably
gained through the main hail door ON
Main street and once in the burglars made
themselves thoroughly at home all over
the house. The safe in the dining | Ill
was first tackled and with success. The
combination of the safe was left by some
chance unlocked and by simple turn of
the handle and pull of the door 500 in
cash was displayed before their admiring
gaze. This was quickly taken after
which the robbers carefully locked the
safe. They then went up stairs to the
sleeping rooms and conducted a syste-
matte search through each guests room
which was unlocked. From the room
of James Robinson of Sassafras Neck,
Md, they secured S21 in cash and from
Joseph Harrah of Kimbleville, Pa. they
took $40 bill and gold watch. Both
of these guests were asleep and neither
was disturbed from his slumber. Every
door was tried on the second floor, but
without success. Descending again to
the first floor the burglars entered the
kitchen, took lunch, which they washed
down with liquor taken from the hotel
bar. The robbery occurred about :
o'clock. The noise was heard by several
occupants OF the hotel, but they thought
it was made by late arriving guests.
There is no clue to the burglars.

Dedication Services.

On Sunday last the handsome new
Methodist Episcopal Church in Chesa-
peake City was dedicated with impressive
services.
In the morning Bishop G. d. Foss of
Philadelphia delivered very able and
forcible sermon on Faith" At the af
ternoon services which was held at $50
Rev ]. s. Willis preached. Rev. DR.. j.
o. Peck of New York, preached at the
evening service. DR.. Peck is secretary
of the missionary society of the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The choir rendered good music
at each of the services. At night Mrs.
l.. E. BsrrIger sang solo and there was
trio by Mr.. J. Stiles, Miss Coleman and
Misses Ellison and Coleman. A quartette
was rendered by Messrs Stiles aud Reed
and Misses Ellison and Coleman.
When Rev. Mr.. Nelson, the former
pastor started the undertaking of build
ing the church last year, it was intended
to construct an editice at a cost of 81, 500.
The present building, however, cost
about 50, 900. About So 800 of this amount
was raised previous to the dedication. On
Sunday 81 $50 was subscribed, $1,000 in
the morning, 5000 in the afternoon and
$3.50 at night. A debt of about 50 900 re-
mains on the property. The church is the
finest in Chesapeake City. 1t is of Port
Deposit granite and built in the Gothic
style. 1t reflects credit on the copgrega-
ton, the town and on Mr.. VIM. d. Had
dock who superintendent the construction.
The church was built under the parton
ate of Rev. E. Fl. Nelson. Rev. l. G.

Plunged Into the Canal.

Engine No. 60 and Is freight cars of
north bound freight train No. 20, ran
into the open draw of the bridge over
the Delaware & Chesapeake canal mid
way between Mt. Pleasant and Kirkwood
at $50 o'clock Monday evening.
The falling train struck a canal boat,
laden with coal, which was passing
through the draw, and it was sunk. No
one was hurt, all the trainmen jumping,
and escaping even the slightest injury;
but the canal is filed with wreckage that
it will take at least three days to clear
away. The bridge was not damaged,
and by o'clock Monday night the wreck
was cleared away sufficiently to close the
draw. All trains were delayed until after
that hour, but we're running on time on
Tuesday.
A tug boat with tow of five barges
laden with coal for Washington, and two
schooners were passing through the
draw at the time. The barge that was
sunk was the fourth IN the tow. 1t was
almost through the draw aud was struck
near the stern, and sank at once.
There were man and boy on board.
The boy was in the cabin and came out
so frightened that he jumped overheard
and swan ashore. The man jumped to
the tow path. Neither was hurt The
barge following the one which was sunk,
was stopped by prompt snubbing, from
getting beneath the falling cars, and suf-
fered no damage but broken cleat.
None of the other boats in the tow were
harmed. The tug cut loose at the first
crash and sped out of harms way.
The cause of the accident is somewhat
of a mystery. The train was regular
local freight running through from Lewes.
1t was nearly half hour behind time at
the bridge. There were % cars and the
cabin car or caboose on the train, loaded
with miscellaneous freight. Theodore
Tuchton of Wilmington was engineer of
the engine, No. 60, and John Lucas fire
man. w. w. Dawson was conductor of
the train. Dawson was on the engine as
the train neared the drawbridge.
1t is stated that the train was running
at the usual rate of speed aud Stacked up
on the up grade towards the bridge, as is
customary, to look out for the signals
The red danger lights were seen at the
signal post and the whistle was blown and

A Dangerous Situation.

A lady whose name we were unable to
learn, found herself in very dangerous
situation on Wednesday last at the Elk
ton depot of the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad. She was
waiting in the depot for the express due
here at 1.5S D. M, and hearing the signal
for passengers to pass to the other side
of the tracks started across. The crossing
is planked and at the places on the rails
where two are joined together by burrs,
the planks are necessarily cut out to al
low room for the iron plates. As the lady
was crossing the north-bound track on
which the train which she desired to
board was approaching about mile and
half distant the heel of one of her shoes
became fastened between nail and
board. This wrenched her ankle some
what and realizing her dangerous sltua-
ton she gave an cutlery. A gentleman
who happened to be near went to her as
sistance. Efforts to wrench the shoe
from where it was securely fastened were
soon found to be of no avail and as prompt
action was necessary the gentleman
quickly unbuttoned the shoe and the lady
was soon standing on the platform with
out it. The train by this time was quite
close but bystanders succeeded in wrench
ing the shoe from where it was fastened
before the train reached the place. Some
thing will be done by the railroad Off
Gals we understand to prevent the occur
renee of accidents of this kind, Had the
lady waited, as many do, until the train
was near the station, she might have met
a terrible death.
