1t Will Build the Road to Masseys, and
Must do it in Two Years.
ANNAPOLIS February 20 The Penn
sylvania Railroad, through Mr.. Bernard
Carter, has won it's fight before the Ways
and Means Committee, and secured con-
troll of the state appropriation to Cecil
county of S55 900 and the authority to
construct the railroad. The Ways and
Means Committee has amended the bill
originally referred to it providing for the
transfer of the money. The newIroad is
to be known as the Ekton, Masseys
aud Middletown and the provision is
made that the construction must begin
within ninety days from the date of the
passage of the act; shall be completed to
Cecilton within twelve months, and the
entire line to Masseys ready for operation
within two years under forfeit of the
state appropriation. This change
practically kills the original bill, which
provided for the construction of the
Elkton and Southern, and may prevent
the contemplated extension to Easton,
which extension would have operated
| against the Peansy lvania.
| Iu explaining his acceptan ce of the
substitute before the comm ittee, Mr..
| Wooley, of Cecil, the author of the
original measure, said: So far as the
people of Cecil county are concerned,
they are DESTROYS of railroad through
the First and Second districts. The
matter of competition does not arise, be-
cause there would be no competition al
either Chesapeake City or Ceclton, nc
matter what company builds the road
nor is there much competition nowadays
among the great railroads. They ma!
divide the business but there is verl
little rate cutting. Notwithstanding
our desire to assist the counties south o
us, We must look first to the Interests o
, our own county. 1t Is proper to say tina
, the Baltimore and Ohio Company has
, given us no encouragement whatever
That company does not offer to buil(
this oad, and we know of no assuring
offer other than the one contained in th
! amendment before you. We are to
g anxious for this road to be satisfied wit
j the vague promise that some unknow
Q person or persons are going to enter thi
}. territory with perhaps a million dollar
:. Toy build road to compete with til
d Pennsylvania system on the one side an
e the waterways of the Chesapeake Ba
Y upon the other. We therefore, favor I'll
n amendment proposed.

Gram Warehouse Burned.

The large gram warehouse at the Elk
ton freight station occupied by c. r
Foard was partially destroyed by fire on
Wednesday night, one third OF the build
ing with that part of its contents being
levelled to the ground. The fire was dis
Feehly the operator at the signal tower
who noticed dense v0umn of smoke
issuing rom the building. He COM
muDicated with the engineer at the cleo
trio light plaut who gave tue alarm by
sounding the whistle. The Sipgeriy Fire
Company Immediately responded and
soon three lines of hose were playing Oh
the flames which were making rapid
Roadway. The fire originated at the
west ED of tie building which was
stored with baled hay which combustible
material made excellent fuel for the
ravagIng flames which were now bnrst-
ing fiercely forth from the end of The
warehouse. The fremen by strenuous
efforts succeeded in subduing the flames
after a hard fight of two hours and pre-
| vented the fire from reaching the office
| located in the east end of the building.
Two-thirds of the warehouse is in ruins,
| being beyond repair.
The ware house was fully stocked aud
its contents including about 500 bales OF
hay, 400 bales of straw, 500 bushels Of
oats, 400 of corn 200 of wheat, aud 4 tons
| of bran, are almost an entire loss, that
which was not consumed being scorched
and injured by smoke and water. The
loss upon the stock will, it is estimated
reach about $4,000 covered by Insurance
in the American and Pennsylvania Fire
Insurance companies, carried through
Manly Drennen, Agent. A quantity Of
of Koal Spar owned by c. c. Caldwell
was stored IL the building upon which
there is slight loss, covered by insur
ance. Ia the loss ia wheat fan owned
by Mr.. Foard.
| The warehouse is owned by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, upon which
the loss is about $500, fully insured. L
is questionable whether the compan.
will rebuild. The intense heat from thu
fire melted the telegraph wires, abou
twenty-five in number, which passed
directly over the building, and commun
toation in either direction was shut OF
several hours. The shooting flames ant
debrs from the fire obstructed the sout
bound track, and over which a line
hose was stretched. A freight trai
was delayed several hours.
The origin of the fire is unknown

WHITE DECLARED SHERIFF.
The Circuit Court Renders a Decision For
the Republican Candidate.

The Circuit Court Renders Decision Fol
the Republican Candidate.
After careful consideration of the
evidence Judges Stump and Wickes on
Monday night rendered decision in the
contested Sheriffalty case Of White VS..
Boyd declaring Mr.. White the legally
elected Sheriff of Cecil county, by a
majority of 20 votes, and the following
order was passed by the Court:
"The case of Clinton j. White against
j. Albert Boyd in which the said Clinton
j. White charges that he has been duly
elected Sheriff of Cecil county, at the
election held on the It'll of November
last and that the said j. Albert Boyd
Was not elected, having been fully argued
and submitted to the Court, and the
questions presented having been fully
considered and the votes in dispute hav-
ing been fully canvassed by the Court
we do hereby declare and decide that
the SAID J. Albert Boyd received at said
election 2,519 legal votes, and that
Clinton J. White received 2 $50 votes.
We do therefore, adjudge, declare and
decide that the said Clinton j. White
was duly elected Sheriff of Cecil county
IN the State of Maryland for the term of
Two years on the seventh day of Novem-
Der in the year 1898; and we further
order that each party pay his share OF
che costs"
OF the votes cast the counsel on both
sides, both at the recouaJ and before the
Court, conceded 2494 for White and 2456
for Boy. which left l72 tickets disputed
and subject to the decision of the Court,
which returned Whites total vote as
2539 and Boyd's as 2519.
Tie Court III passing upon the 172
ballots counted As for White and 63 Tor
Boyd, rejecting GA votes which were not
counted for either candidate. These "a
tickets were made up of votes absolutely
blank or stamped III such a manner.
either Tor the Republican or Democratic
candidates as rendered it impossible for
any person to say positively how they
should be counted. A number of the
GA ballots were stamped opposite the
Comptroller and such, as required by
law, were counted for the Comptroller.
1t was on this class of tickets that Mr..
Boyd's loss was largely due in the Eighth
and Fourth districts where tickets
clearly for the Comptroller alone were
counted for the entire Democratic ticket.
The judges in their decision upon the
81 ballots rejected by the election judges
in the Fifth district allowed a count o!
90 of which number White received 10
and Boyd s. 1t was clearly manifested
to all engaged in the recount that the
majority of ballots had been cast for
White and this impartial decision attain
ed through psinstaking, and thorough
investigation, meets with general
appreciation on the part of all voters
who desire to see the right prevail il

Mr.. Boyd had not determined whether
an appeal would be taken in the case.
