EAsToN, MD., Sept 10.-It is re-
ported, on what seems to be good au
thority, that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will build road from
Shovel station, on the Delaware,
Maryland & Virginia road, now owned
by them, to Ocean City, crossing the
Synepuxent considerably further north
than the present railroad bridge, and
about where the Goldsborough cottage
is located. The distance from Shovel
10 the Synepuxent Beach is about six
miles, and this new route will consid-
erably shorten the Philadelphia, Will
mington & Baltimore travel, which now
reaches Ocean City via Berlin. In con-
nection with this it is also reported that
a number of New York capitalists have
become interested in this Maryland
beach, and have formulated plans to
acquire holdings there, and to rush its
development as rapidly as capital and
business skill can do it.
An act of assembly, passed at the last
session of the legislature, authorized
the county commissioners Of Talbot
county to borrow in their corporate
capacity, $4,000 on notes to pay off the
floating debt of the county. The dis
counts were made at the Farmers and

located at 1241s South Spring street, is

sums, also on merchandise, household
goods, carriages, ETC., in warehouse. If
you have piano you can obtain loan
upon it without it's removal from the

cern is to receive payments in INSTALL

STYLES In skirts.

A New England correspondents asks adj
vice about the adoption of the "sheath,"
that is, the English, skirt for her
self in the ordering of some fresh spring
dresses. This is question that is per-
picking not a few women who see neither
beauty nor grace in the present style of
shaping skirts. The throngs of women,
young and old, that one views upon our
city thoroughfares and at fashionable
gatherings are each and all, almost to a
woman, attired in gowns whose skirts
look simply wrapped around them, with
mass of useless, graceless, Tapping flat
folds huddled all in heap at the ex-
treme back. These are "uncompliment-
ary" to tall, slim women, and they out
line and emphasize the adipose contours
Of short, stout ones. Also, few taste
full women take kindly to the gored OF
bell skirt, with wide lace or other
founce at the hem, among them our New
England correspondent.
We therefore advise gracefully gored
foundation skirt, with simply no other
arrangement above this than fiat, deep
kits of the goods shaped to lap each
other at the top, so as to give the fashion
able "belP' appearance to the skirt when
finished. Panels may be added when
the kits stop at the back, which tend to
diminish the size of too broad hips, or
the kits may simply end in fan plated
drapery at the back, finished with deep
hem. Plaits and kits are still fashion
able, and the majority of the seasons
dress fabrics are, to our mind, 1ar better
adapted to killings than to the cuts,
slashings, points, tabs and other varier
ties of wasteful. meaningless styles Of

A Bit of a Woman.

Louise Lawson, the sculptor whose
statue of Sunset Cox is occasioning con-
siderable discussion just now, is a
bit of a woman, with golden brown
hair, gray eyes, lisp and viva
cious manner. She wears, when work
ing in clay, dark blue blouse and
trousers, and her studio costume is al
ways of white linen-skirt and coat-the
latter finished with an extraordinary
collar of coarse embroidery, tied with the
traditional knot of baby blue ribbon.
With this costume yellow shoes are worn.
The whole effect is rather more bizarre
than attractive. Whatever the critics
say, the letter carriers swear by Louise
and her nine-foot image. Exchange.

ANOTHER POLICE SCANDAL.
Officer Dorsey Suspended For No Good
Cause.


Chief OF Police Glass in his policy Of
trying to suppress every scandal that
arises about his administration of the
police, stops at nothing, and it is plain
that unless the officers yield him the
blind obedience of slaves they will be
disgraced by dismissal.
1t appears that rumors have been cur
rent OF late connecting the name OF
some member of the police force, whose
name was not told to the HERALD re-
porter, but who is said to be married
man, with the alleged seduction of a
young girl, girl who is described as al
most child. The girls aunt has tried
to have the matter investigated, and
naturally some of the members of the
force heard of the matter.
Yesterday Mr.. Glass called all those
who had been known to mention the
matter into his private office and ques-
toned them about it. All went well un-
til he reached Officer Dorsey, when
that man stated that he had heard
something of the story from citizen.
The chief asked him to tell the name of
that citizen, but Dorsey naturally de-
clined to give it, until he had consulted
with the man. The chief summarily
suspended him then for insubordina-
tion, and SO the matter rests until the
police commission meet, and what then
will be done can easily be surmised.
Officer Dorsey afterwards ascertained
that his informant was perfectly willing
to have his name made known, and it
can be stated here. 1t was Mr.. Tom
Keefe, and if anyone wants further in
formation about the affair, particularly
members of the police commission, he
will probably tell them all he knows.
