Opening of she Baltimore & East |
ern shore EtAtirUHd between BaI-
thnsOre and Salisbury.

ODontng of thc Baltimore & East
ern shore EtAtirOnd between Hsai-
thnsOre and Salisbury.
The Baltimore q Eastern Shore Rail-
road Company Monday opened Its line
between Baltimore and Salisbury, Md,
and az the bridge over tho Nanticoke ia
not finished, Vienna was made ne ter
mipus. The first train over the Annap-
oils & Baltimore short Line, which con-
neots with the new road at Bay Ridge, left
Baltimore in the morning at 10. There
were so passengers for various points
along the line, and the trip to Vienna,
on the west side OF the NsnticOke river
in Dorchester county, was made in very
good time, and without mlshap Of any
kind.
At Bay Ridge the passengers were
transferred to the steamer pockwogh and
carried across the bay to Olaibourne, tho
Eastern Shore starting point, which is II
miles from Bay Ridge. AS soon as the
transfer slip at Claibourne is completed
the transfer steamer City OF Thames,
which is owned by the new company,
will be put into use for carrying trains
across. This will do away with tho
change of cars and will be done within
few weeks. The first train left Vienna
Monday morning, at O'Clock, and ar
rived in Baltimore at 11.30.
The road is thoroughly completed on
both east and west sides Of the Nsnticoke
and can be put into service when the
bridge over tho river is finished, which
will be in 10 days. The terminus Of the
new road is Salisbury, but the company
secures the WiComico h Pocomoke rail
road, which runs to Ocean City. 1t had
to be almost rebuilt after it was pur-
chased, but is now in working order,
and by September 9Th trains will be run
ming direct from Baltimore to the coast
in four hours. All the stations along the
road have been completed with the plat
forms and buildings necessary for the
handling of freight.
The new enterprise was begun in Feb.
ruary, 1889, on private capital, with the
addition of $4,000, which is divided
among the four counties benefited by the
line as follows: Talbot, $25, 900; Caro-
line, $4,000; Dorchester, $40, GOO, and
Wioomico, $40, 900. The matter of these
subscriptions will be taken up by the
citizens OF the counties in November
next, when it will be decided by their
votes whether or not tho money shall be
subscribed. A syndicate of New Eng
landers have put 5000, 900 into the road,
while Marylsnd capitalists have shown
their confidence in its success to the ex-
tent of $500, 900. The road has cost about
| $3.50, QUO. The oar trust will carry the
equipment, which amounts to about
100000 while the subscriptions along
the road are nearly $50 900.
Ocean City has already received boom
from the new road, and many improve.
ments at this popular seaside resort are
contemplated or next season.

How John Shy Got Away from His
Red-sieiuned PursueTs,
Kansas City Times,

How John Shy Got Away from His
Red-stciuned Pursuers.
Kansas City Times.
A gentleman passed through the city
Sunday on bis way to Excelsior Springs
whose name three or four years ago was
one of the most popular in the daily
press Of that day. II was Mr.. john Il.
Shy of Deming, N. NJ, whose dead OF
.eroism in saving his wife ard family
from I1assacre by a tand OF savage
tpaches after running fight OF several
miles will ever make his name a Goa
spicuous one In the history Of the west.
The story is as follows
MIR. Shy had settled on q rauoh In Now
Jexico with his wife and young son,
,Leir place being II miles from any
other settlement. The ranch was at
lacked by rowing band of Is ApscheH,
who sought to drive off the stOos.
Mr.. Shy, who was we'll armed and had
plenty ammunition, placed his wife and
child in a place of safety within the
house and then opened fire, which WAS
returned. The fight was waged for some
time, till one of the Indians succeeded in
crawling mp to and setting fire to the
house. This neoessitated fight; SO, send
ing Mrs. Shy forward under cover OF the
smoke Of the burning building, the hus-
band and father, carrying his young son
under his arm, made dash for the cover
of some thick brush which was growing
near by.
An Indians bullet went through the
chid'B hip and lodged in the fathers
body, but the fight went on. Mr.. Shy
ran forward some distance, and thea
dropping the child In the brush, would
face about and fire at the leading pursusE,
who would thus be brought TO stand
still for time. Then another short fight
and another stand to gain time for MIS-
Shy, who YVES fleeing in the front, and so
the day was spent. The Indians finally gave
up the chase, which had cost them no LEES
than six warriors, and the exhausted
fugitives managed to reach the city of
Demlug with their lives. The wounds
received by both father and son were
rapidly healed, and now, whom the
hostilities are forever expslled from or
killed out of the neighbornood, there is
no more furnishing or happy family IA
New Mexico than that of Yalorous JohE
I. Shy.

much distressed over his boys condition.
Mr.. Mitchell feels badly over the matter

unforeseen occurs.

CITY superintendent HariaO'a Good
Report al school Prospects Tor
rho Coming Term.
Oily Superintendent Harlan was found
at his office Tuesday morning deeply en-
crossed 10 matters pertaining TO the due
and proper preparations for Monday
next when Wilmington's 5000 public
school children will commence their reg.
ular term studies again.
Yes" Mr.. Harlan replied to the
dAzETTE's representative, "our prospects,
this year are excellent. There ia the nor
pupils to be added to the list of public
school pupils. This will make tie at
tendance about 5000, Of whom about
500, or 10 per cent, are colored children.
"The 5000 pupils will be distributed
among 20 school buildings under the
charge of 176 teachers. The general
sohcol facilities are greatly increased
this year.
School No. has 1O8 additional scat
ings and No. IL the same. No. as (the
new Silverbrook building) has acoommo-
DAFT n for about 400 people,"
Mr.. Earlan continued TO explain that
last terms vacant sea ings will be found
pretty well filled at the opening o. school
next week. There is district centring
about Tenth and Walnut streets that will
not be sufficiently supplied for the ac-
commodaiion of primary pupils. There
will be number OF vacancies at n con-
siderable distance from that point, hut all
too far far tho children of parents living
around Tenth and Walnut streets to take
advantage Of the vacant sestings. The
unocoupied eeatiDgs are as rule in the
outskirts OF the city, for instance at No.
Ia, over Third 8 rec bridge; No. 10,
Browntown, and No. 10, Hedgeville.
The new school built at Seventeenth
and Union streets will be nearly filled
next week. Numbers Of people had criti-
oised the action of the board in erecting
such large building as unnecessary at
this time. Last term the seventh and
eighth primary grades were not taught In
No. IL. Hereafter all the primary grades
and the first, second and third grammar
will all be pleasant information for the
parents living In that neighborhood.
The repairs committee has been very
busy lately, and there is every evidence
that all the schools will be in good con.
ditiOn for the reception OF the pupils.
The equipment OF the manual training
department his been very materially in
creased this year.
The coming Of Miss Ora Royce, q
graduate of Ann Arbor, Michigan, high
school, ID looked forward to as an i'm
portant progressive step. Miss Royce
will supervise the teaching OF drawing
in the grammar and primary schools.
She received her art education al Cooper
Union, NV York. Miss Royce was as
sistant supervisor of drawing ct the
Yonkers public schools last year. She is
q teacher OF considerable experience hav-
ing bad charge of the lowest primary
grades to the most advanced drawing
classes in the high school. Under her
management it is the intention to intro.
duoe the elementary forms of manual
training as preparation for life work.
