QUARRYING EMERY.
1t lis Done by the Aid of Great Fires
I'm the Classic Island Of
NaXOS.

Emery comes from the island of
NaXos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or moro. The beds
are In the northeast of the island, the
deposits descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of schist in limestone, almost
identical with Parian marble, the finest
marble known, which comes from the
island of Paros, close by, says Ironmon-
gerry.
There are about 300 men engaged in
the trade, all of whom have to be mar
ried before they are admitted to the fra
tcrnity. The material is much too hard
to be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted around the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat, and levers are then inserted to pry
them apart. This system is continued
until the blocks are reduced in size TO
masses of a cubic foot or less, and they
are then shipped as if they were coal.
There are said to be 20,000,000 tons yet
available at NaXos, and the last report
ed years export was 1880 tons. 1t ia
one of the hardest substances known.

Fires.

Shortly after noon on Monday
the dwelling owned by the Knick-
erbocker Ice Co. of Baltimore,
located at Frenchtown, was burned
to the ground. The building was
occupied by Enos Newlin, who,
with the assistance of friends, sue
ceeded in saving most of his fur
niture. The loss will reach 5000.
1t is supposed that a spark from a
passing train caused the fire, as the
flames were first discovered on the
roof. The house was used as a
boarding house for the employees of
of the Eureka Fertilizer Co. and
Knickerbocker Ice Co.
The stables belonging to Mrs. L..
II. Litzenberg, of Elkton, caught
fire Tuesday afternoon, and were
partly burned. The Singerly Fire
Company responded to the alarm
promptly and succeeded in saving
the surrounding buildings. The
horses and carriages were saved.
Several tons of new hay were de-
stroyed, The loss is estimated at
$500.
The Park Hotel, at Chesapeake
City, caught fire Tuesday morning
and the kitchen attached to the
hotel was destroyed before the
flames were eXtinguished. The
town has no fire apparatus, but the
bucket brigade did good service.
A small dwelling near the Red
Pump was set on fire and burned
last Monday night. The building
belonged to Jas. Tomas, colored,
and was in the course of erection
by Theopholus Jones who was to
have the use of the house for one
year for his labor. 1t was evidently
fired for malicious purposes.

Port DepOsit Flooded.

Never was there greater down
pour of rain in so short a space OF
time as deluged Port Deposit
Wednesday afternoon. At 2 O'Clock
Il thunder storm from the south,
west enveloped the town and in
creased in fury until 2:3O. The
run opposite the Jacob Tome Insti-
tute left its bed and rushed into
the kitchen and dining room of
Mrs. Stull on the north. On the
southwest it forced the side oft Mrs.
Pugh's office, squirting water five
feet in the air. The waters then
rushed across into the first floor of
the Institute. The volume of water
in the street at this point was
enough to propel a boat.
The residences of Mr.. Charles
Grant, Mrs, Paxton, Mr.. A. L.
Barry, Mr.. George Vannot, Rev.
P. p. Arnd, and Mrs. Stulls were
engulfed and carpets and mattings
damaged. Many others had their
cellars and backyards flooded.
Stones and dirt to the depth of two
feet were piled up on the pavement
and in the street in front of Nc
Clenahan Bros office. From
Granite avenue to Cedar street the
pavements were covered at various
intervals. Outbuildings were swept
from their foundations and carried
away. The full extent of the
damage is not known.

death of her husband, Henry

She had said she wanted the poison
to kill dogs with. DR.. Howard
Bratton, who exhumed the body
and took the stomach to George
w. Lehman, the Baltimore chem

mann's examination, which was to
the effect that he was unable to

many as Is whole lima beans and
other vegetables which had not
been masticated. DR.. Roman ties
titled that he, with DR.. Regain, had
given a certific of natural death.

dence was not sufficient to hold the
