The heavy rain of last Saturday so material
ly injured the ice that but little doubt is left
that the ice harvesting on the river has been
completed for this winter. On that day, when
the work was discontinued, the ice was nine
inches thick, but by Monday morning it had
been reduced to three and half inches and
was very rotten, it having been ruined by the
rain and fog. About %, ZOO tons is stored
away, the houses being about one-third full.
The ice had all been swept out OF the river
below the p. W. & b. Il. X. bridge by Monday
morning, and it need but small additional
rise to clear the river from the head of Gar
rett's Island. Above that point the Ice was so
broken and gorged that the piles were in plain
sight from Havre de Grace.
The ice field at Port Deposit moved on Mon
day afternoon, making gorge between Mt.
Ararat and the Hartford shore which seemed
almost impregnable. Considerable alarm has
been felt at Port Deposit, the rushing Of water
from Deer Creek causing the river to rise
within four inches of the stringers of the
bridge over Rock Run, on the Columbia and
Port Deposit Railroad. All of the cars were
in front Of the houses, and numbers OF per-
sens moved their furniture into the second
story of their dwellings.
Mr.. d. &. Wilson, agent of the railroad, re-
ceived orders to send all the cars out OF the
town, which was done. Mcclellan Bros. re-
moved the boiler and engine for hosting
crushed stone into the elevator from their
wharf to higher ground. The Rowland Manu-
featuring Company haule its shingles from
the wharf, and removed the low piles OF lum-
Der, and put boom to prevent anything from
drifting away. Mr.. Tome has taken the chairs,
tools and implements Of the Manual Training
department, and everything water would in
jure, from the first floor to the second story of
the Jacob Tome Institute. At $50 F. NJ.
word was received by the Methodist Episcopal
aud Episcopal Sunday schools that the whole
body of ice in front of the town was moving,
and no two schools were ever sooner cleared
of children and officers than they were.

The November term of the Circuit Court
came to conclusion on Friday morning
when the verdict in the case of Becker We. Bolts
Was handed in by the jury. This important
case occupied the Court for sixteen days, be-
ing the longest contest in civil case on re-
cord on the books OF the court. The verdict,
was in favor OF the defendant Bolts, and ex-
onerates him from the charges of dishonesty
and corruption which were attempted TO
fastened upon him. The term which appeared
to many to have been all excessively long one,
was not so in reality having been exceeded by
several terms during the past few years.

MRS. ELIZABETH DAVIS,
who departed this life one year ago, February
70, aged 81 years and mouth.
One less at home, the charmed circle broken,
A dear face
Missed day by day from its usual place,
But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace.
One more in heaven.
One less on earth, its pain, its sorrow
And toll to share,
One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear,
One more the crown of the blest to wear,
AT home in heaven.

WITHOUT A NAVY.
KIagdom of Belgium Has n Water FPons

KIagdom of Belgium Has n Water TPoas
But No Ships OF War.
No il. yitation has been extended Il
the naval authorities of one neighbor
ing country to participate in the festiv
tiles at the opening of the ship cana
between the North sea and the Baltic
which are to attract the armed ships OF
various European and American
governments. That country, says the
New York Sun, is Belgium, and it ID
peculiar among European countries
having water front from 'he fact that
it has no navy. .ss----s.,. s-,.s..,.,.-.,.- -
This is the moro remarkable when II
is considered that Belgium includes
within it's borders one of the Oldest
harbors in Europe-Antwerp-which,
at the zenith of its commercial success,
had as many rs 1900 ships. The COM
merce of Antwerp is still considerable,
and fair share of it is done with the
United States.
When the war of 1880 eliminated IN
the independence of Belgium from the
rule of the Netherlands, the two
countries were so divided that Holland
had the larger share of the seacoast
line, and Belgium had a larger measure
of the inland country. Holland re-
tanned all the colonial possessions OF
the two countries, and, in order to keep
up connection with them and protect
them from hostile assaults, the navy
was maintained by Holland.
Belgium, having no foreign colonies
TO protect. was under no obligations to
maintain q navy. Holland has now
considerable navy, having 100 ships and
$500 sailors, but Belgium is able to get
along without any navy at all, though
the Belgium army, on u peace footing,
is 1000 men stronger than the Dutch
army, and, on a war footing, has 1o0. 900
men more.

river, sunk the Relampago. Those of
the grew who survived swan toward
the shore, but were fired on from the
banks. At this critical moment beat
was launched from the Centinela,
which rescued the men from the water.
In view of the instructions and the
fact that the commander of the Gen.

both boats had been wounded, the ex-
pedition had to return to Manzanillc.
Senior Martinez, of the Relampago,
was seriously wounded in the explo-
sion, as we'll as Gunner Francisco Mar
tinez and three seamen, while Pay
master Antero, Chief Officer Masquero,
Engineer Pazadela and the assistant

Sherman returned from Canton today.
He confirmed the report that he had
signified to Mckinley his acceptance
of the Office of secretary of state, but
declined to go into particulars as to
his interview with the president-elect.
With reference to the policy of the
question, the senator declined to add
anything to his Pittsburg interview
except to say that his main effort
would be to preserve peace between
this country and foreign nations.
