ing to support him, he says, would be secured

this fight am making will effectually destroy
any political hopes that may have, but be-
!ieve it is for the good the Democracy of the
Second district that Mr.. j +. G. Talbottshould
be defeated. At this time it cannot hurt Mr..
Bryan or the Democratic party or would
not have entered upon the fight, but believe
this is the most opportune time to get rid of

Affairs Of the BALTIC. & Lehigh.-A letter
from Belair, dated September 18th, says: The
work of examining the entire roadbed and
track of the B altimore and Lehigh Railroad
by two of the best known constructing rail
road engineers in the country, is progressing
rapidly, and the report of their work is awaited
with much interest. William t. Manning,
civil engineer of Baltimore, was first engaged
by the Railroad Company to inspect the entire
road. He has completed his report, butt has
not yet been acted upon by the directors. 1t is
learned that in it he advises the Strengthening
of several of the curves and putting in of new
ties and repairs of several of the trestles.
"R. T. Mavin. of Baltimore, a civil engineer.
who was recently appointed by Judge Waters
to look into the condition of the road III Har-
ford county, is engaged in making up his re-
port. Mr.. Mavin's appointment is due to the
recent recommendations made by the Hartford
County Grand Jury asking that an experienced
civil engineer be employed to go over the line
of the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad within
the limits of Hartford county and examine the
condition of the roadbed and trestles with re-
ference 10 the weight Of the engines and the
cars now used on the standard-gauge tracks.
Pending a report the Grand Jury was con-
ditionally discharged by Judge Waters, with
the understanding that as soon as the expert
opinion can be had it would be reconvened
In the meantime the railroad officials are rap
idly pushing repairs to add to the safety of the
passengers. Curve braces are being put on and
the narrow-gauge track is being torn up so
that the grade will conform to the broad gauge.
Trains have practically been running on time,
and it is thought before long entire confidence
will be restored"

Paid a Visit to the Old Homestead
The Belair Democrat of this week says: "Mr.
Frank A. Richardson, the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, and Mr..
Beale r. Howard, of Taylor, were in Belair
on Monday. During the day they visited the
place where Mr.. Richardson's father and
grandfather lived, which is the old Kemp
property, near wilma, now owned by ex-Sherif
Sanner, of Baltimore. The old house was de-
stroyed by fire some years ago and a new one
has been built on the site. Mr.. Richardson's
father was the Rev. Benjamin Richardson,
who was for many years one of the noted
preachers of his time and by his courtly and
engaging manners was a gentleman of the old
school and had many friends in the county
who were endeared to him. The place passed
out ofthe Richardson family in 1912 and Mr..
Howard md No. FSscbardson had desire 10
visit the property of their ancestors. An old
family Lux aground was located on the
place which has grown upin weeds and bushes,
and two tombstones were found which marked
the last resting place of Francis Asbury Rich
ardson, dated 1910, and Martha Matilda Rich
ardson, in 1880, uncle and aunt of the present
Frank Asbury Richardson, the noted news
paper correspondent. Mr.. Richardson will
have the burying ground enclosed by fence
and the tombstones reset. This is the first
time Mr.. Richardson and Mr. Howard have
ever visited the old home place and it was with
much interest that they looked up the old
landmarks" Hft -3sss.kt
