Train WreCker Caught.
John Ellis Admits lie is the
Man Who Attempted to
Wreck an Ocean City
Train,

/ The readers of the MESSENGER will
remember having read an account
OF freight train being wrecked a
month ago ON the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake q Atlantic Railroad between
Berlin and Ocean City. Since that
time detective Pruitt and another de-
tective both of Philadelphia, have
been in the county working up the
case, in which they have been success
full. One of the detectives played the
role Of a tramp with plenty of money
and after Il few weeks investigation
made friends with John Ellis, a young
man whom he suspected, and who re-
sided with Il Mrs. Lewis ut Poplar
town. Ellis friendship grew apace
with the detectives good treatment,
and ON Tuesday they went TO Sails
bury for good time. After imbibing
freely, and before starting home, the
subject of railroad accidents was open.
ed, and the accident which befell the
company month ago was referred to,
when Ellis told his companion Just
what he wanted to know, namely: that
the wreck was not an accident but
the result Of his own work. He was
at once placed under arrest and BROUGHT
to Snow Hill where he now awaits his
fate
After his arrest Ellis implicated
Sam. Riding and Mrs Ella Lewis,
both OF near Berlin, in the affair.
They were arrested and brought to
Jail. Since their arrest, however,
Ellis has confessed the crime 10 have
been done by himself without outside
influences, and as the two parties i'm
plicated deny all knowledge of the
affair aud are not even acquainted
with each other, this confession is
probably the correct one. Mr.. Rid
ings is a young man, the son of Mr..
Frederic Rulings one of most respect
able citizens in Berlin. Mrs. Lewis
is also highly respected lady. Both
formerly lived in this district, Mr..
Rulings residing in this town for many
years, and Mrs. Lewis with her hus-
band OF farm near the bay. Their
friends feel sorry for their unfortunate
position and none believe them in any
way connected with the affair. They
were both released ON bail and Ellis
alone languishes in Jail to pay the
penalty of his crime.
This is not the first attempt that has
been made to wreck trains on the
b. {. d \. road, and it is thought
that Ellis will be implicated in the
other attempts.
1t is said that the action Of Ellis
was prompted by jealousy that he
and an engineer on the road were
paying court 10 the same lady, and the
engineer meeting with more favor, the
rejected sutton sought to get rid Of his
rival by wrecking the train. hoping he
would be killed in the wreck.
Ellis in his last confession relieving
Mrs. Lewis and Mr.. Rulings Of any
collision in the dastardly act gives 10
reason for the deed. He says he was
drunk when he implicated them, and
has no recollection of having made
any such confession rs the detectives
claim.

SNOW HILL!
Some History Connected With
its Founding.

In looking over the records in the
Clerks office these facts have been rs
certained about Snow Hill. In the yeaI
1856 the first act was passed laying
out town to be called Snow Hill
Town, in Somerset county, and author
ling a survey of 100 acres for that
purpose The lots 80 surveyed and
not previously occupied could be tax.
en- up under certain conditions OF
building, but the act in full cannot
now be found among the records, prob.
ably being in Somerset county. Again
in 1906 the act of 1856 was ratified
While Thomas Baden was Cover.
nor, on the 18th day of October, 1912,
an act was passed appointing commits
>ioners and authorizing them 'to sur
vey and lay out the same 100 acres
formerly laid out, as agreeable rs
conveniently may be to the original
survey thereof, when first laid out into
a town, having regard to the lots al
ready improved and built upon" the
land so surveyed to be erected into Il
town and called Snow Hill Town. The
act further provided that the owners Of
any Of the lots formerly taken up but
not built upon were required to build
within two years after the survey
made as aforesaid on the lots owned
by them one house TO cover i0t
square feet Of ground and with one
brick chimney al least; and on neg
Letting to build such house the title t
the lots was To revert to the proprietor
Of the town land
The pos,essor Of lets were required
to pay one penny sterling per annun
for each lot 50 taken up, paid for and
built upon 10 the right honorable tho
lord proprietary and his heirs forever.
At the same time the act for the for
nation Of Worcester county and max.
ing Snow Hill the county seat wa,
passed. IT becomes matter OF inter
esting conjecture why the houses to be
built were to have brick cbimncys-
whether it was for protection against
iirc Or whether il was for the pur
pose Of acquiring title 10 the land. Tn,
latter seems more probable 1t i,
evident, however, that houses with
brick chimneys were considered her,
very superior article.

POISONED!
Ice Cream Plays Havoc With IA
lot of GrccnbacIk pcopIc.

Greenbackville, II thriving village
situate twelve miles below here, was
thrown into a state OF great excitement
on Saturday night last rs the result Of
a very enjoyable church festival which
threatened the lives Of nearly every
inhabitant OF the town who participated
in the event. 1t appears that the NJ
+. Church in the place gave the festival
to help raise the Indebtedness of the
church Men, women and children,
in fact all OF the residents OF the place
who could attend, did 50, and there
were but few who did not eat of the
ice cream, which was the chief feature
OF the festival As consequence,
over 20 persons were badly poisoned,
their eases being more or less severe
according to the amount of the ice
cream indulged in
The services Of three physicians were
called into requisition 10 attend the
sufferers, and they were kept busy
attending to them throughout the en-
tire night. Many of the cases were of
Il most alarming nature, and it was
feared that several deaths would occur,
but owing 10 the prompt measures
taken by the doctors no one suffered
death from the effects At least 80
persons suffered intensely and several
were reported in dying condition
The cause Of the poisoning is not
definitely known, there having been no
tests made of the contents of the freezers
used at the festival. 1t is supposed,
however, to have been due to impure
havoring extracts used in the manu-
facture of the ice cream.
So many OF the residents of the
town suffered from the poisoning that
business was entirely suspended in
Greenbackville for day, and on Sun.
day special train men were telegraphed
for to take charge Of the Monday
morning trains. The special passed
through Snow Hill which was the first
knowledge that reached here of the
unfortunate affair.

The public schools of the county
closed yesterday and young hearts are
rejoicing to-day at the thought of being
free from school duties at least for the
term Of three months. The efficiency
of our schools should he subject of
congratulation TO everyone interested in
the cause of education. In the county
we have three high schools that will
compete with any in the State. while
the lower grades are no less noted for
their efficiency in the branches taught.
The county is provided with such
number of school houses and teachers
TO educate all her youth, and no
plausible excuse can he advanced in
after years why the children OF to-day
are not educated. The cost Of keeping
up the schools is the greatest burden of
taxation the people have, but no voter
should offer word of objection to such
a tax, and will not, il he stops to con-
slider the great good that is being
accomplished by and through the pub
lie schools Of the county.
