store just as a stranger was passing
oy. He had only a few second
before closed up his grocery and
was 10 the act of passing his bunch
OF keys 10 his hip pocket when the
passer by caught sight of him in
darkness. The first impulse of the
stranger who ever he might have

,he idea acted on the muscles of his
iegs which bore him safely and
not slowley beyond all danger.

THE CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
IL Is Som ewhat Better, But Without
Distinct improvement.


r. G. Dun g. Co.'s Review of
Trade for the week ending July Is,
says:
"There is a somewhat better tone
in business, because money markets
are q little less stringent. But i,
cannot be said as vet that there is any
distinct Improvement. In every di.
eeet,on unusual conservatism pre-
walls, orders are relatively small, the
volume Of business is restricted, and
a waiting policy rules.
"New York banks have received
some money from the interior, bu.
are no, yet clear that it is best to
retire clearing house certificates
because there are taid to be weak
spots which may yet require liberia
extension of credits. Other cite,
have drawn less from New York
because their business is restricted.
''Some gold has come already from
abroad, and more is expected withir
the uext week, but exports of pro-
ducts do not increase as much as ha.
been expected"

6. A. R. NOTICE!

We take this opportunity OF in.
forming our subscribers that the new
Commissioner of Pensions has been
appointed. He is an old soldier, and
we believe that soldiers and their heirs
will receive justice at his hands. We
do not anticipate that there will be-
any radical changes in the sdminis>
tration of pension affairs under the
new regime.
We would advise, however, that
U. S. soldiers, sailors, and their heirs,
take steps to make application at
once. ii they have not already done
so, in order to secure the benefit OF
the early filing of their claims in cas-
there should be any future pension
legislation. Such legislation is sci.
dom retroactive. Therefore it is oil
great importance that applications be
filed in the department at the earlies,
possible date.
If U. S. SOLDIERS, SAILORS, OR
THEIR WIDOWS, CHILDREN, OR PA
RENTS desire information in regard
to pension matters, they should write
to THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, AT
WASHINGTON, .. c., and they will
prepare and send the necessary sp.
plication, if they find them entitled
under the numerous laws enacted 70,
their benefit.

Card From the BaIlIff.

In order that my intentions may be
properly und erstood by the voters of the
town of Elkton, would state that l
will not take an active part in the NOM
nation of comm iss toner's to be voted for
at the April election, but will support
those | consider best suited for the
position, without regard to politics or
who they may be in favor of appointing
bailiff of the town. l have served dur
ing the time the bailiff was required to
light and put out the lamps, have
ances without partially, and done work
ordered by the commissioners to the
best interest of the town 80 far as
knew how, and l think it not unreason-
able in me to ask a reappointment at
this time under the cIrcum stances. II
appointed again will expect to do much
more work than heretofore, ..as the lamps
will cot be to light, aud there will be but
little for the bailiff to co unless he
works. There is very little disorder in
town now, and scarcely any criminal
business to attend to, and l would not
feel justified III receiving my pay unless
| worked and earned it.
would not have made this public
statement, had I not been misreprssen-
ted by interested parties.

PORT DEPOSIT, March 16, 1893.
/ On last Friday, Levi Hasson had a rib
broken, Charles Body, colcred, aud
an Italian were bruised on the lover
limbs, by quantity of dirt and stone
! falling in the quarriss of McClenahan IL
injuries.
The river ommenced rising on Friday
| and the Use began to move at the upper
end of the town, filing the street with
water aud ice. Saturday morning early
it again moved the ice at the lower end
OF the town, and about 730 Saturday
evening the whole body of ice 10 front of
the town started and the river
rose rapidly, two feet higher than any
time OF the gorge this winter. On Sun
day, boats were used conveying pas
sengers in different parts of the street to
higher ground. but the ice moving
through channel on the Hartford shore
the river commenced falling gradu lly
until it went off the street and rail road
track Monday, ana by night trains were
running through town. The Columbia
and Port Deposit Railroad Company is
the greatest sufferer, the track being
badly damaged and in places the rails
badly curved. The main track at the
upper end Of the town has not been
repaired but is partly covered with huge
piles of ice. The Rowland Manufacture
ing Company are the heaviest losers in
town their lumber being scattered and
some of 1t carried away. From the
depot up, all of the outbulldipgs and
fences have been swept away, while the
loss has not been heavy to any one indi-
vidual, in the aggregate it is very large.
On Sunday afternoon about one hum
dred tons of rock and earth fell in the
deep lcut at RowIandville and trains
were delayed until p. m. In order to
clear the track the rocks had to be
blasted before they could be removed.
Samuel Anderson who was formerly
watchmau in Cecil National Bank died
at the residence of Alfred Bender, Sun
day morning and was buried at Hope
