years by the chains of disease is
the worst form Of slavery. George

so helpless for five years that she
could not turn oyer in bed alone,
After using two bottles of Electric
Hitteps, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work. %

About four o'clock Tuesday,
morning a cavern occurred at the
spar quarry between Rising Sun
and Sylmar. VIM. L. Taylor, who
has charge of the engine during
the night, had been fixing the
pump, about go feet below the
surface, and left the position less
than a minute before the cavern

came crashing down on the pump
completely demolishing it, causing
about 5000 damage. The quarry
is operated by w. P. Reynolds for

Port Deposit Flood Subsidies.

Port Deposit has been enjoying
its annual fright over the ice gorge
this week. The water has been
high enough to inundate the low
spots in the town, but no damage
of any amount has been done.
The ice continues packed several
feet thick in front of the town and
while the water has fallen two feet
some low wharves are still sub
merged. Reports from above say
the river is gradually falling. The
