Marrow Escape From Drowning.

CAsrLEToN, May 2.-May I was beautiful
day and the pupils of Franklin school, accom-
panied by their teacher, Miss Jessie Dilworth,
took stroll through the woods in search OF
the flowers which are 80 abundant at this sea-
son.
Wheat is growing rapidly and gives promise
of an abundant crop. More oats have been
sown this year than for several years past.
Hay and corn are becoming scarce and the
farmers want early feed. The clover which
wss sown last year looks badly, nearly all of
it being killed out. Our farmers are beginning
to think that it is hardly worth while to sow
red clover. as it has proved failure for several
years past
We came very near having another drowning
accident on Saturday. John Knight Daniel

which caused their boat to I'LL with water and
sink, throwing the men into the river. Mr..
Knight was caught by the cable and thrown
into the swftest part of the current, and he
was borne down the stream SO rapidly that lie
was compelled to yield to the current. M r.
William Fulton jumped into boat and started
after him, overtaking him just as he was sink
ing, and about two feet under the surface. By
constant efforts he was resuscitated.
Mr.. Edward Savin was badly hurt while haul

mashed and he was injured in other ways.

The New Electric Railroad.

On Monday Messrs. John II. Reckord, Han
son H. Haines, OF Rising Sun, Cecil county;
w. E. Robinson, w. Beatty Harlan, James X.
Massey, Thomas Mackenzie and Harry Z.
Karr, OF Baltimore, and Noble L. Mitchell ap-
peared before the County Commissioners In
relation to obtaining the right Of way for the
Bel Air and Havre de Grace Railway and
Power Company. These gentlemen are the
incorporators Of the company and stated that
it was impossible for them to proceed any
further towards the bui'd ding Of the line until
the consent OF the Commissioners was OBJ
tanned.
They stated that It was their intention to
build purely local road and that the necss-
ssry money was now In hand and work would
be begun as soon as the right OF way could be
obtained. 1t is their intention to follow the
main road between Bel Air and Eavre de
Grace, and will traverse through country
which is now without any railroad facilities
and vii open up one of the best dairying dis
tricts In thu State. With improved rolling
stock they expect to be abe to handle freight
as we'll as passengers, thus enabling the farm
ers along the route to get their produce to
market much more easily than at present.
The beautiful Deer Creek Valley, SO long not
ed for Its fertility, has always had one serious
drawback in the way Of railroad facilities.
This road cannot but enhance ths value OF all
the land through which 1t will traverse. There
is no finer location for suburban residences
| than through this part Of the county, and even
in the past, in spite Of lack Of rapid transit
facilities, many beautiful and expensive homes
have been erected.
The company will draw its patronage from
! q farming community of 45s, 600 acres. There
is now produced in this vicinity 1,5C0 galloni
| Of milk day, which can be easily brought up
to over 1000. There are also thirty or forty
packers whose annual output is over 200 90.
csses of canned goods. A very conservative
estimate of the revenues of the road puts 1t al
$500 annually.
| This is move In the right direction, and
should have the encouragement Of every pro
gressive citizen who has any interests in the
eastern part Of the county. The good effects
Of opening up the country through which any
electric road runs is always felt as soon as thu
work is well under way. Land cannot bu
advance and good building lots along the line
will soon command fancy prices. There ha'
been an effort for the past forty years to built
a railroad through the Deer Creek Valley, bu
so far failures have been the invariable re
suit on account of the tremendous outlay o
money involved. With an electric road 1t 4
