The Hnyre de Grace Factories

The Gamhril Textile Works at Havre de
Grace are gradually increasing their working
force and will soon have 100 of their looms
working. When the whole 240 looms are
running it will be the largest textile works in
the United States using jacquard looms. One
hundred thousand dollars has been expended
in the machinery for these works.
The new shirt factory building is being
pushed with all possible haste. 1t is said that
TIE promoters have large number of orders
in hand already. 1t is expected that 12S
machines will be put in operation in two or
three weeks, if operators are to had promptly
to run them. While under different manage
meut the product of this factory will be
handled by the same house which markets
the output from the factories OF Middletown,

The Town Commissioners are busily engag-
ed in an improvement which has long been
badly needed. The condition OF certain
parts OF Main street has been subject for
condemnation upon the part who used it,
either for business or pleasure for some time.
On Friday last, the stone crusher was
brought into Bel Air, and since then large
portion OF our chief thoroughfare has been
covered with finely crushed stone to a depth
of several inches, and it is the intention Of
the Board of Commissioners to put the streets
in such u condition as will make them, as
they should be, pleasant to use.
This is but one step in the march of i'm
provement. Il will be followed by others,
which will all tend in their turn, toward max
ing our town pleasant and desirable place Of
residence or sojourn.
Mir. H. Is. Bruins has immediate charge of
the Improvements while our indefat gable
balifT is almost ubiquitous in his movements.

Joy and Grief.

Joy and grief, alternately, caused Mrs. Al
ME Lifted, of Joppa, Hartford county, to be
the central figure OF two exciting scenes Mon
day afternoon, at the corner Of Fayette and
St Pauls streets, Baltimore. Mrs. Lifted
was on a visit to the city, and, while walking
along Fayette street, near st. Paul street, she
saw her brother-in-law, whom she had not
seen for number of years. without any
ceremony she ran up 10 him, wrapped her
arms around his neck, and began to kiss him
in the most earnest manner. The unusual
scene attracted the attention of a number of
people, and while Mrs. Litted's face fas T. d
liant with smiles of Joy at again seeing her
relative, another scene took place that pro
vided quite shock to the onlookers.
When Mrs Litted's Joy had subsidized, she
asked her brother-in-law how her sister was.
The brother-in-law, the widower Of the sister
for whom Mrs. Lifted asked, said: "She Is
deadr' The woman had not expected to hear
such news, and swoonCd away in faint.
She was carried into a neighborng building,
amid a scene Of some excitement and after a
little while was restored, and sent to her
home BDH;mOre SIN.

cal evenings and Il good impet senator as well
as first class illustrated lectures by prominent
men. The course will be equal To any given in

Reed Bird Shooting.

The season for rail and reed bird shooting
commenced on Wednesday, September lst.
The clnker built boats have been all put in
order ready for the opening of the season.
As there has been so much rainy weather all
through July the marshes at the head of the
bay are very rank and green yet, and the
season will be much later than usual on
this account.
Little success can be had shooting these
birds until the wild oats have fallen, and
until the grain is ripe the birds are really not
in condition to eat. But little Roadway can
be made pushing skifT over marsh on
which the oats are still standing up.
Very few birds are to be seen yet about
the marshes, but when the conditions are
right they make their advent very quickly.
The sloop-yacht Carrie, in charge Of Capt. II.
j. Poplar, will take Philadelphia party
from Havre de Grace to the PatuNent river
for the shooting there September 9th.

Who Was Il?

On Sunday afternoon while Misses Lbbie
and Annie Hess, daughters of Mr.. Jaco /
Hess, living near Upper Cross Roads, were
taking an afternoon nap, they were suddenly
awakened by suspicious sound which ap
pcared to be on the porch roof. Giving al
alarm they reached the window in time To SEE
a man drop from the roof to the ground.
The mystery was deepened that night. A
lady visitor who had retired early, was
awake about ten O'Clock by II noise in hei
room, and rising to find the cause, saw a man
in the act OF escaping from the room. An
immediate search was made but without
avail. 1t was thought to he the same man
upon both occasions.

Mrs. Baker Jumps From IA window.
\ dispatch from Washington to the Balt-
more >oui, of Monday, says: Mrs. Sarah n.
Baker, wife of Mr.. Thomas b. Baker,of Clay
ton, Hartford County, jumped from third
story window of Gatto's Hotel, Washington,
last night and suffered severe injuries. She
was removed to the Emergency Hospital. 1t
appears that Baker has been in that city for
several weeks canvassing for books. He
sent his wife money to Gene to Washington
and met her at the station and they started
for Gatto'S Hotel. At the corner of Eighth
and + street, where the hotel is located, it
appears that the two had some words, but the
trouble passed away and they went to Mr..
Bakers room.
During the evening number OF drinks were
sent up, but no quar-. cling WAS heard. About
1870 O'Clock noise was heard i'll front Of the
building AS though heavy body had fallen.
Mr.. Baker soon afterward came running down
the stairs eXclaiming that his wife had jumped
from the window. The bystauders and Mr..
Baker rushed out in front and found Mrs.
Baker lying where she had fallen, bleeding
from her nose and mouth, but still conscious.
Mr.. Baker clasped her in his arms and began
talking about their children. Officer Kenny
summoned the ambulance and also asked Mr..
Baker how the accident happened. The latter
would say nothing, so he was arrested. At
the hospital Mrs. Baker said she had thrown
herself out of the window as she was tired of
life, but would make no further statement.
An examination showed that she had
fractured her arm, nose and thigh and re-
ceived internal injuries.
The police released Mr.. Baker from custody
this morning, being satisfied that he had
nothing to do with his wife's fall. Mrs.
Bakers condition showed an improvement
tonight.
