UNLOADING STEEL RAILS.

Some fourteen hundred steel rails,
weighing five hundred and twenty tons,
were being discharged from the Allan
liner Numidian yesterday. They We're
slid one at time down an iron trough
attached to a gang plank placed at
steep incline against the vessel. Every
rail weighs about eight hun dred pounds,
and they came with wicked rush and
angry rattle. bringing clouds of sparks
from the iron trough down which they
travelled. II the man who was stationed
to check their speed by throwing a block
of wood under each rail, as soon as it
reached the foot of the gang plank, failed
to do so, the rail kept on its course
across the floor of the shed and dashed
through the wall on the further side,
bursting through the boards as though
they were so much paper. The men
need to be extremely cautious to escape
being hurt Notwithstanding all the
care taken, longshoreman named Ma
lone had one of his toes taken off by
rail falling upon it yesterday morning.

Court Contempt.

The recent usurpations of Fedora
Judges in cases of contempt are
having their effect on the public
mind. The last is the case in the
U. S. Court at Chicago of Marie
Cahill who sued the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il st. Paul railroad com
pany for injuries received by being
run over by an engine. The court
ordered the jury to find for the
railroad, but the jury refused to
obey the order of the court. After
being ordered to return to THEN
room and agree to a verdict accord
ing to the order of the court they
finally agreed under protest, all but
one, who would not obey the order
of the court, and was ordered to be
sent to Jail for 'contempt." After
much protesting on the part of the
counsel for the plaintiff the case
was finally non-suited. The juror
who refused to obey the arbitrary
ruling of the Judge was Julius
Clayton who was raised in the
second district of this county.

Fatal Accident Caused by whiskey

There have been some blood
curdling accounts published about
the cause of the death of John
Jones. We clip from the Appeal
the latest phase of the story
John Jones, 1S-year old son OF
James Jones, on the Homewood
farm near Newark, in company
with his uncle, Jos. w. Poore,
came to Elkton Friday night, and
getting drunk, started to Middle
town to find a girl. Their horse
ran away near Cooch's throwing the
men out, and next morning the
body of the boy was found near the
roadside. Poore, with Jones' hat
he had found, (but says he did not
see the dead body stayed all night
in Herman Dyatt's COW shed, then
getting on the cars at the nearest
station came back to Elkton, and
next night stayed here at VIM.
Tippet's a relative. He left Jones'
old hat at a store here, after pur-
chasing new one, and on Sunday
left town, and was arrested the
same day near Newark, and held as
a witness. At the corners inquest
on Monday it was discovered that
the death Of Jones was due to con-
cussion of the brain. Acting upon
the conclusion reached by the jury,
Poore was released from custody.
The evidence showed that Jones
and his uncle were drunk, and ac-
cording to the testimony of wit
nesses who saw them driving along
the Frenchtown road the horse was
going at a break neck speed. 1t is
supposed young Jones was thrown
out and killed. The horse was
found above Glasgow, in a woods,
the buggy wheels astride a fence.

Look for the Goose.

Col. Savage, of Baltimore, several
days ago bought goose shipped
from Kent county, and when the
toothsome bird was being dressed,
the following articles were found in
it's craw: A lady's diamond ring,
a gold coin of the size of quarter
of a dollar, two gold horseshoes
about half an inch in length, a
split ring, intended to support a
charm, and several small pieces of
gold, apparently links of a chain.
Colonel Savage says he does moi
consider that the valuables belong
to him, and is willing to return
them to their rightful owner. He
would like to keep the horseshoes,
however, as omens of good luck to
the household. The only explana-
ton offered as to how it came to
wear so much .jewelry is that the
articles had been lost overheard
and were picked up by the fowl in
it's search for food. Who shipped
the gosse is the question.-Chester-
town Transcript.
The goose of the story is the one
who believes it.

Teachers Institute,
FIRST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The Teachers Institute, of Cecil
county, began its sessions in Elkton
on Wednesday morning. All the
teachers of the public schools in
Cecil county, with one or two ex-
ceptions, and many spectators were
present at the opening. George
Biddle, school examiner, called the
meeting to order and made the
address of welcome. He said in
part: After a lapse Of twelve years
he was pleased to be able to well
come the teachers assembled here.
He spoke of the changes in the
schools during the past twenty five
years. Then we were encountered
with standing debt of over $780,
900. For years we have promptly
paid all debts at the close of each
term. He was sorry that the sal
aries of the teachers could not be
larger, believing every increase in
salary would be an incentive to
better work and we could retain
the teachers of greatest talent and
experience. In the county we have
95 schoolhouses, SO of which be-
longed to the county, and they were
valued at $1O3,7O There are 100
teachers and $40 scholars. The
support and government of our
schools should be purely a business
one; political and sectarian views
have no place in them. The officer,
be he commissioner, examiner, or
teacher, who will permit either the
one or the other to influence him,
even indirectly, should have no
place in them. 1t is, Mr.. Biddle
said, the proud boast Of our board
that neither one nor the other has
ever had a place in a school in our
county, and, trust, will never be
permitted to enter there. He urged
that every teacher should read at
least one daily paper, and said that
the commissioners would not be
satisfied until Cecil county possess
ed high school.
Prof. George A. Steele, of the
Elkton Academy, responded in a
few well-chosen remarks.
E. B. Fockler, of the North East
school, was made secretary.
Prof. E. B. Prettyman, secretary
of the State board of education and
principal of the State Normal
school, was detained at his home in
Baltimore by sickness. He sent "a
letter stating that he would be
present on Friday. On the plat
form was seated Prof. w. G. A.
Hammel. Rev. A. d. Mayo, of
Washington, d. c.; Prof. George
A. Steele, Elkton; E. B. Fockler,
