ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
The People of ElktOn and Cecil County
Watched the Curious Shadow
on Friday Night Last Week.

The eclipse Of the moon Friday night was
plain and was observed by many people of
Elkton and Cecil county. 1t was an ex-
ceptiosal night for witnessing the curious
shadow. Luna came up brightly and not
a cloud could be seen in the sky. The
moon was so bright and the atmosphere so
clear that the stars near it were dimmed,
but during the eclipse the stars we're
bright.
The eclipse became noticeable in Elkton
about O'Clock. During the progress of
the shadow it looked as if a slice had been
cut off one side of the moon. The eclipse
lasted a little over an hour and a half.
This was the first eclipse of the new year
and it will take the moon fourteen and
half day to reach the other side of the world
and produce on January % the total eclipse
Of the sun, which is attracting so much at
tention among astronomers.

DEAD ON HIS ENGINE.
Jeremiah O'Bri n, Dies of Heart Dis
ease in His Cab, near Elkton.

oSA"" " III II, DiSS vi deart Dis
ease in His Cab, near Elkton.
AS briefly mentioned in the last issue NJ
the CECIL WING, jeremiah O'Brien, a
veteran engineer on the Philadelphia, Will
mngton and Baltimore Bailroad, died of
heart disease with his hand on the throttle
OF his engine, near Elkton, on Friday
morning last week.
Few, II any, OF the passengers on the
train knew of the tragic scene in the cab of
the engine while the yellow express was
flying between Baltimore and Wilmington
at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. Tho
train pulled into Wilmington with it's
usual rapidity. O'Brien was at the throt-
tie, and there was not the slightest appa-
rent popularity to tell the people who
were waiting for the train that anything so
grave as the death of the engineer had hap
pened. When the train left Union Station,
Baltimore, Engineer o Brien was not feel
ing extra WE'LL so he told one of the EN-
ployes about the station. "Oh you re all
right" the latter said; 'you're not as old
as you imagine. You have long time yet
to live" O'Brien shook his head at this
statement, as though to discreditit. When
the train started O'Bren took his seat in
the cab. William Brady, his fireman,
noticed nothing unusual in his manner.
In fact, the fireman says O'Brien looked
quite as we'll, if not better, than usual
The run to Perryville was made on time,
to speak to O,Brien. The engineer an
swered him, and resumed his gaze through
the little window in the front of the cab.
At North East the fireman happen ed to
move over to the other side of the engine.
He noticed O'Brien was in a slight stoop-
ing position, but attached no unusual sig
niticance to the change. Again, when the
train neared Newark, Del, the fireman
noticed O'Brien in a STOPPING attitude.
This time suspicion flashed across his
mind that something was weong. He in
vestigatcd, and found that the engineer
was dead or slowly dying. His next inn
pulse was to stop the train, which he did
at Prices Station, and there sent word to
Wilmington. The dead engineers body
was removed from the cab to the baggage
car, and the fireman took the train into
Wilmington. O'Brien was sixty-two years
old. His home was in Philadelphia.
Engineer James Murphy took the train
from Wilmington to Philadelphia.

Fly is doing much damage to the

fields plainly showing their ravages.
The Atlantic Coast Line Express, over
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad, Sunday made record run
between Washington and Wilmington,
covering the distance of 1O1 miles in 1O4
minutes.
Rev. William Frederick Lewis, D. D.,
pastor of the Rodney Street Presbyterian
Church, of Wilmington, yesterday notified
the Presbyterian Synod of Wales, that he
declined their offer of the Chair of Hebrew
and the Old Testament, at the Presbyterian
Theological College at Bala, North Wales,
which was recently rendered him.
Fifty naval cadets, or 20 per cent. of
the whole number at Annapolis, are now
suffering from affections of the eyes, caused
by the poor lights by which they have to
study. The affection is not serious, but it
compels them all to wear during certain
hours either spectaclts or eyeglasses. The
sight OF fifty naval cadets, robust, healthy
looking youngsters, equipped with eye
glasses, is not tribute to the lighting sys-
tenn of school where it might be supposed
everything is done to promote the health
OF the students. 1t is no fault of the
academic staff that these conditions prevail.
Captain Cooper has frequently called atten-
tion to the inadequacy of the lighting sys-
TEN, but when he asked for an electric
light plant he was informed that the time
had not arrived when few thousand dol
lars could be expended on the academy.
The buildings are lighted by the same gas
appliances that were there when they were
huilt. In the new quarters are the identi-
cal fixtures which were put in when the
building was completed thirty years ago.
The quality of the gas is probably good
but that one burner should be allowed two
cadets to study by seems to account for the
unusual number Of cadets who now have
eye trouble. The medical men declare
that the affection is not serious, but that it
may cause the dismissal of number OF
cadets whose eyes will not permit them to
keep up with their studies. One bright
young lad in particular has trouble with
his eyes and may have to be dropped. He
stands we'll and would make, the officers
say, an admirable naval officer. Half a
dozen more who hold high positions in
their classes have some trouble with their
eyes. A number of the cadets consulted
some time ago oculists in Baltimore and
Washington, and several are now wearing
glassts by their direction The old recita-
ton hall, which was ordered to be pulled
down, will soon be completely demolished.
The sides OF this building were 80 weak
that it became necessary to shore them up
for fear they would tumble out when the
roof was removed. Workmen are also en-
gagged now in tearing away the long
portieos that stretch the entire length Of
the new quarters. For thirty years these
floors have been getting weaker until the
planks rotted and the removal was neces-
sary. In front of these quarters the tenn
porary structure for the recitation hall is
making rapid progress and will be com.
pleted in three weeks.
