The Short Line II. Railroads Oppor-
tunities.

The Short Line II. Railroads Oppor-
tunities
The Short Line Railroad between
Annapolis and Baltimore has now
two opportunities to become profit
able and useful. The Easton
Shore railroad is in financial diff
culties and it would require but a
reasonable amount of money to Sc
cure in it q controlling interest.
This done, the company should
then change its route from Eastern
directly north to Kent Island, and
thence by transfer boat to the ter
minus at Annapolis of the Short
Line. The route to st. Michaels
and then to Bay Ridge across wide
expanse of the Bay, was grave err
ror and perhaps the cause in great
measure of its present embarrass-
ments. The new route would avoid
delays and dangers from steamboat
navigation across wide expanse of
the Bay, as that part of the Bay be-
tween Kent Island and Annapolis
ia 80 land-locked as to render con
nections at this city, safe, speedy
and sure, in the most Indictment
weather. This change of route
would be comparatively small in
outlay as the country is as level as
a threshing floor and free OF bridges.
Besides, it would DO so near the
railroad terminating at Centreville
in Queen Anne's county, that q
short spur to that fourishing town
would place the Short Line in close
connection with all the counties of
the Eastern Shore and give to Bal
timore large and valuable trade it
has never enjoyed since the intro
ductioE of railroads in that part of
the State.
The second opportunity is in the
Drum Point route. The projectors
Of this valuable public work are
hopelesslY in the soup, and the
work is now open to those who may
choose to embrace it. A road from
Annapolis to Drum Point would in
. short time become q valuable fran
chise. 1t would open up a section
Of our State that has great capabili-
ties for trade, traffic and travel,
with such an outlet.
Either of these routes would
make the Short Line busy little
road and enable it in very few years
to make large dividends to its stock
holders
We submit this hsstY outline to
the serious consideration of the
stockholders of the Short Line, who
can or ct comparatively small out
lay themselves, by the organization
of other Companies secure valuable
additions to their we'll managed lit
tie road and make it one of the best
paying railroads in the State.

A BIG REDUCTION ASKED.
The II. 81 o. Company wants cut from
$4,000 to $4,000.

The Council Board of Equalization
and Appeals yesterday went over the
land books for the Third ward, and
read number OF petitions for reduc-
tions or corrections OF assessments. No
action was taken on any OF them, their
consideration being deferred until
Monday. All the matters demanding
attention were Of trivial Importance eX-
cept petition from the b. & o. Rail-
road company, asking that the assess
ment Of the old Hampstead yards, op-
posite the city hall on Sixteenth street,
be reduced from $4,000, as returned by
the assessor, to $1,000. The company
says in its petition that so much OF the
yard rs is occupied by tracks is already
assessed as railroad property, and that
the remainder is not used for railroad
purposes, and should not be taxed at a
greater valuation than $1,000. This pc
tition went over with the rest.

MORE SERIOUS THAN EXPECTED

Kis Walton, the Keeper of Bagnio,
Badly Injurod-Thc AssaIlants Held
Without Ball.
Tho assault for which Bert McCon-
aughey and George Coss were arrested,
as chronicled in yesterdays ISTELE-
dEScER, turns out to have been more Sc
rious than simply disorderly conduct.
NlcConaughey and his partner had
come over from Bridgeport, and after
sampling Wheeling drinks pretty free
ly, adjourned to ks Walton's house.
They had been here but short time
when they got into q quarrel with some
of the inmates. The landlady came in
and attempted to put then out. AS to
how she did this accounts differ. Nc
Conaughey says she picked up q chair,
and before she could strike him he took
it away, threw it Mt her and immedi-
ately left the house. Mrs. Walton,
Kiss mother, says that McConaughey
came up behind her daughter and
struck her in the back with chair.
The two men were arrested and fined
in police court yesterday morning, and
Immediately afterwards, on a warrant
sworn out by Officer Jake Watson, were
taken before Squire Ankle. Miss Wal
toms injuries had turned out to be more
serious than had first been anticipated.
Her spine is badly injured, possibly
broken, and her condition is very low.
On the strength Of the information fur
nished, Squire Ankle committed the
two men to jail to await the result OF
the injuries. No bail was accepted.
The hearing will be held on Tuesday
evening, September l.

Hon. A. II. McKelvey, OF Belmont
county, was in town yesterday. lie re-
Gently received a letter from an aunt
living in Belfast, Ireland, saying that
Messrs. Campbell and Frew had paid
her q call. Mr.. McKelvey says he
thinks that Major Mckinley will not
only be elected, but that he will have a
larger majority than any candidate for
Governor since Brough. The Farmers
Alliance does not have much effect on
the Ohio farmers. They are too well
informed and too thoughtful to be led
away by the third party movement.
The Democracy has very vulnerable
plank in the free coinage resolution, and
its leaders would gladly get rid OF it If
they could. Mr.. McKelvcy thinks Gov.
Campbell is really i'll. He says McKin-
lev will be at the Belmont county fair
at'St. Clairsville. Mr.. McKelvey has
represented Belmont county in the Leg
islature for two terms and represented
her ably and faithfully.

morning some OF the hands discovered
the body OF man floating in the river.
1t was taken to the shore and an in
quest held. The body had no clothing
on except two shirts and one sock. The
outside shirt was a fine white one, and
the body was apparently that OF a man
from fifty to sixty years Of age, and had
gray beard and hair; he wore a truss
for hernia. The body had probably
been in the water some days, rs it was
considerably decayed. No clue rs to
the identity. The body was buried at
Newport.

Progress of Bridge Work.

The pump in the pit for the south

clear until the creek falls.
The work OF removing the false work
from beneath the new bridge to the

job to pull the piles from the bed OF the

Who They Are.

The staff of the Electropathic Institute
recognize the fact that they are not open to
the charge of "lameless," :" or to that OF using
obscure or doubtful people i'll any way, IN
connection with their institute. In PROOF
Of this we call attention TO the fact that
Lewis G. Davis, NJ. D., is at the head OF the
staff of physicians and surgeons of the Elec-
tropathic Institute of 597 Penn avenue, Pitts
burg. DR.. Davis graduated first at Jefferson
Medical College of Philadelphia in 1879.
After two years Of private practice he took
the postgraduate course of Bellevue Hos
pital Medical College of New York. City;
graduating in 1892 In addition to these dis
tinctions. DR.. Davis has special-course diplo-
mas in Physical Diagnosis under Professor
Janeway; in Chemistry under Professor
Doremus, in Skin Diseases under Professor
Shoemaker, and in Surgical Anatomy under
Professor Keen. His staff of able associates
have no less honorable credentials of their
training, experience, skill and knowledge
needed to practice medicine safely and sue
cessfully.
