Factory Sold.

The plant of the Stephenson
Wrench Co., at North East, was
sold at public sale in Elkton, on
Thursday morning, to Samuel T.
Shippers of North East, for $1212.
The plant included a new two-story
building and power. The sale was
brought about by the foreclosure of
a judgment against the company of
$500, held by the Keys q Miller
Lumber Co., of Elkton, and a judg-
ment of $3.50 held by the company
that put in the engine. Several
North East citizens made bids on the
property. One bid was made by
E. L. B. Day of $1211, bid was
also made by Andrew Anderson,
of North East. The stockholders
of the company, who are mostly
Cecil county people, some months
ago recognized the fact that the
wrench factory could not be made
a paying investment, and allowed
the judgment to be foreclosed with
out any effort whatever to save the
company. 1t is not known at pres
ent to what use Mr.. Shippers will
put the building, but it is suitable
for any light manufacturing work.

1t is now nearly three quarters of
year since the bold Norwegian,
Andree, sailed out of all human
sight in his balloon, in the hope of
reaching the North Pole. Experts
in Arctic travel and exploration
are far from convinced that he is
lost; indeed, they are quite conf
dent that he will yet be heard from.
One of them, Mr.. Walter Wellman,
who himself conducted an eXpedi-
ton into the Arctic in 1894, will

Andree's safety in an article in
