QUICK TIME to BALTIMoRE.-Last Sunday,
at 10 O'Clock A. NJ, Mr.. Isaac Amos liberated
some carrier pigeons from the Masonic Tenn
pie, in Bel Air. They arrived at the loft in
Baltimore exactly twenty minutes later, hav
ing travelled over a mile a minute. The pig
cons. which belong to Mr. Charles E. Bell,
of the Monticello Distilling Company, are
young and Sunday was the first time they had
been flown outside the city of Baltimore.
The Y. w. c. \. OF BALTIMoRE-lhe
Young Women's Christian Association OF Bal
timore, send out an account of their work Tor
the past year in the form of handsome so'lv
enir pamphlet. This institution was opened
in 1888, IN the upper rooms of Il small store on
Lexington street, and from this small begin
ming it has grown by degrees until it finds the
large building on the corner of Franklin
street and Park avenue, none too large for its
needs 1t has done much good in the way OF
furnishing cheap board and lodging to work
ing girls and providing employment to those
without situations. Other features are mex
pensive courses in technical education, free
religious instructions, fine library and gym
nasium and Fresh Air Committee which
furnishes an outing to many poor girl dur
ing the sweltering heats of mid summer
TIE MARYLAND CENTRAL.-A meeting oil
the bondholders of the old Maryland Central
Road, now part of the Baltimore and Lehigh
system, has been called at the Mercantile
Trust Company to consider plans for reorgan-
izing the property. Several plans looking TO
the rehabilitation of the property are under
consideration. 1t is said that suggestion
which meets with favorable consideration
among those interested in the road is that the
stock issued under the reorganization be
pooled for limited time, so as to keep the
road in friendly hands until it has been DEM
onstrated what is its earning capacity. 1t is
also said that no new bonds will be issued on
the property for several years.
The reorganization of this road is not in any
way dependent on the disposition of the York
and Peach Bottom, which is the Pennsylvania
link of the Baltimore and Lehigh.
KILLED BY FALL.-Mr James Scott, who
lived near the Red Pump, fell from a cherry
tree, distance of about fifty feet, last Friday
afternoon, and was so badly injured that he

the fall, ran out and found Mr.. Scott lying
on the ground unable to speak. Doctors Hol-
lingsworth and Archer were sent for, but
found the injured man beyond the reach of
medical skill. Mr.. Scott was about Is years
of age and leaves widow and eight children,
two of them by former marriage. He was
buried on Tuesday at st. Ignatius' Catholic
