A Great Granite Company.

We are indebted to tie Mercan-
tile and Financial Times of Phila.,
for the following information:
No more important enterprise has
been undertaken in a long time
than that for (which the Consoli-
dated Granite Co. was recently
organized with capital of $5,00O,-
900, by Tomas r. Deegan, the rail
road contractor, and number of
other prominent and influential
Philadelphians, whose connection
with the undertaking assures it of
the soundest financial standing.
This, claimed by its promoters to
be the largest granite company ever
formed, has acquired what is un-
questionably the most extensive
granite deposit in the world at Port
Deposit, Md, extending over an
area of more than 800 acres.
In all 800 acres of this valuable
granite land has been secured by
the company, and still other tracts
are to be purchased at an early day.
Not only is the ground rich in de-
posits but the granite now in sight
alone as estimated from the surveys
that have been taken aggregates
2OS, O0O, 900 tons.
Modern machinery will be put in
and the facilities bettered in every
possible manner for the economical
conduct of the undertaking. Ar
engagements will be perfected so as
to permit of the granite being taken
ont in any size desired, and there
is mo question of the success that
awaits the venture. 1t is pretty
we'll settled by mechanical engi-
neers by this time that stone is
bound to supercede ho h wood and
steel in the construction Of railway
bridges, docks, wharfs, and similar
structures hereafter and, this being
so, there is market ready for all
the granite that this company can
turn out.
Mr.. J. Dixon West is local agent
for the company and to his active,
business methods this new Port
Deposit granite enterprise is largely
due. We are informed that a large
number of men will be put to work
in the near future, by the company.

Health of Cecil County.

Report of the Board of Health
for last month:
The Secretary reported that he
had been over the county and had
made arrangements for sub-regis-
trars of vital statistics to issue
burial permits in Cecilton, Chesa-
peake City, North East, Port De-
post and Rising Sun. Registrars
were also appointed in Cherry Hill,
Blue Ball and Pilot. Undertakes
or other parties are required under
a heavy penalty to secure a burial
permit before removing a body for
burial or shipment.
Upon complaints of several per-
sons of nuisances in Chesapeake
City the Secretary wrote to the
Town Council and received word
that they were remedied.
Scarlet fever, two cases at Colora
and one at Sylmar. Measles al
Cherry Hill. Diphtheria, one
severe case at Charlestown, con.
tracted in Baltimore, recovered.
No typhoid fever reported.
Nine deaths and twenty three
births reported for June.
With the exception of consump-
ton, which the public must regard
as a communicable disease, the
health of the county is remarkably
good.
