Violating Their Contract.

a contributor in the Morning
Express makes the following peril
nent remarks concerning the Ala
mo Electric Street Car line: "The
question Of street franchises in San
Antonio is becoming matter re-
quiring serious consideration, es-
pecially street railway privileges,
and before any further privilege is
granted or right to use any street
is given to any line all require
ments and obligations to the city
should be fully complied with.
When the Alamo Electric line
asked for and was granted the
right to occupy some of our most
valuable streets, they made all
sorts of promises and entered into
an agreement with the city to pay
a fixed compensation for the
use of such of the city'S
bridges as the line was allowed to
cross, and give good service run
ming cars every fifteen minutes,
But after securing all the franchise
asked for instead Of fifteen minutes
service they continuously ObStruCt
our streets and did not run car
fifteen months and SO far have not
paid for use Of the CitN'S bridges,
which amount Of arrears is now
over $1,000, and several miles OF
streets with track and no street

| teen months.

cHoLgRAIN PENNSYLVANIA.

Swickley, PENN: We had an epidemic
of chOlerine, as our physicians called It,,
with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhpa Remedy. sold four dozen
bottles of it in one week and have since
sold nearly a gross. This Remedy did the
work and was big advertisement for me.
Several persons who had been troubled
with diarrh9a for two or three weeks
were cured by a few doses OF this medicine.

A Cold-Producing Chemical

For The Egis and Intelligencer.
Mr.. Edmund Preston, Jr., former pupil Of
nv school, now druggist at South Broad
street, corner OF Ellsworth, Philadelphia
kindly sent me among other things several
small TASKS of ethyl-chloride, a chemical mo-
unlike sulphuric ether in its effects, only
much more powerful as refrigerating agent
owing to its more rapid evaporation. In den
tai USE for which it is mostly intended, it is
sprayed upon the gum or sensitive part which
it renders insensible to pain by cold. In it:
use care must be taken not to spray the part
too long 1t would result in actual freezing
and with serious effects.
In illustration of the cooling effects Of eva.
poration its refrigerating power was exhibited
before the school, last Friday, greatly inter
esting the pupils. A large thermometer was
placed upon the table, about six feet from the
stove, where many standing around could see
and read the graduation. The thermometer
soon indicated 100. A flask of the ethyl
chloride was now opened by breaking off the
capillary tube in which the flask terminates,
and by the pressure Of its own vapor spray
of transparent liquid was thrown upon the
bulb of the thermometer.
The mercury sank rapidly to 80 below zero.
Doubtless by longer application it could
have been brought down to 25o or 800 below,
The bulb was covered with frost, the con-
densed and CONCEALED moisture of the room.
A small copper cylinder was now partly
filled with water "copper" was used as being an
excellent conductor) and spray of the ethyl
chloride was thrown upon the cylinder, and
in minute or more its contents were solid ice.
Warming the cylinder slightly the mass Of ice
slipped out, an object of great interest to the
pupils.
4 boy asked me, Monday morning, if some
of our cold had not gotten out into the wealth
er. Another boy thinks it a good joke on the
comfort of our school-room-150 below zero
right about the stove.
| Judge by the French label on the TASKS
that the chemical is prepared in France.

The Ice Gorge In the Susquehanna.

L2pIDUM, Feb. 14.-Last week the ice broke
on the Susquehanna above Port Deposit and
moving down met an ebb tide and became
grounded on the flats below Havre de Grace
The gorge gov extends from below the rail
road bridges to point above the mouth CT
Deer Creek and is constantly increasing in
volume by down-coming ice. Consequently
the indications are that before this immense
body of ice is tloated off and passes out into
the bay 81 eat damage will be done, particu-
larly at Port Deposit Lapidum is not SC
much endangered, although the water has
been over the warehouse wharf several times.
The great body Of water cannot find vent
through the deep water, where the greater
power of the current is eXerted, and is fore
ing the ice higher on the banks and bars in The
river. As the jam becomes more compact
the danger increases of the water being forced
along and over the banks. This is the dang gel
apprehended at Lapidum and Port Deposit.
The water covers one-half of Roberts Isl
and and fears are felt for the safety of Mr.
Roberts. Standing on the river bank at Lap
idum many of the houses in Port Deposit can
not be seen, owing to the height of the ice in
the river.
At ~ O'Clock to-day the ice began to move
slowly and ran for about an hour, forming an
immense gorge at Mount Ararat. The water
rose rapidly, covering the railroad tracks at
Port Deposit and the floor of the warehouse
at Lapidum.
Every movement of the ice above the
mouth of the river only adds to the danger
by increasing and strengthening the barriers
which impede the flow of the water There
fore if freshet should occur at the head
waters the water must overflow the river
banks at Lapidum and Port Deposit.
The cakes OF ice are firm, solid and as clear
as crystal.
Every preparation possible has been made
at Lapidum and Port Deposit for an emer-
gency which may occur at any moment. s.

The New Road Plan Commended.
Tor The Egis and Intelliprncer.

For The 42gs and Inteligcncer.
| No item of news ever gave more genuine
satisfaction to the readers of The 4H1qis, whC
compose a large majority of the intelligent
| citizens Of Hartford, than the announcement
in the issue of the Sd that the County Commits.
| sionerS, at their meeting on the Monday pre-
yious, had adopted the recommendations of
the Deer Creek Farmers Club in reference to
| a change in the method of expending the
| moneys annually appropriated for public
| roads in Hartford county.
| The editorial remarks which accompany the
announcement are most pertinent and leave
| but little to say i'll commentator of the pro-
| posed change. From this laudable act of the
| County Commissioners it is to be presumed
that the board will carry into effect the sug
gestions made editorially, particularly the
exercising great care i'll the selection of the
best road members in the county as General
and Assistant Supervisors.
The fact that the County Commissioners so
| readily and frankly accepted the recommends
tions of the Deer Creek Farmers Club indi-
Gates the intention or the part of the board to
act in con JUNCTION with those citiZeus Of the
county who are taking an active part in the
effort to better the condition of the public
roads with as little expense as possible to the
| taxpayer, and for which they are entitled to
the most earnest thanks of the entire COM
munity.
If the County Commissioners, who have
plcHaTy powers III the laying ouI, consITuct-
ing and making all repairs on our public
roads, and in levying for the money necessary
for these purposes, will continue to act in this
spirit of carrying out such wisesuggestions as
those of the Deer Creek Farmers Club, it will
not be long before tue changed condition of
our roads will evidence the wisdom of their
course.
If such system as is now contemplated had
been inaugurated thirty years ago, our roads
now, considering the large amount of money
expended on them during those years, would be
in such condition that there would be no talk
of issuing county bonds amounting to many
thousand dollars for road purposes.
1t may not be amss to mention, in this con-
nection, that one of the best evidences that
proper public spirit is being developed in Har-
ford is the organization, in every section Of
the county, Of associations devoted to the pro-
motion OF objects which all tend to
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.
