TO HARNESS sIsOuEHANNA.

"The organization of the Susquehanna

it is understood, be completed today.
Mr.. S. Davies Warfed, president ofthe

Brown and John K. Cowen are to direct
the enterprise. The company will issue
$12,O0O,0OO of bonds, which will be

tract with the United Railways and
Electric Company to furnish it with
2O,OOO-horse power and to have the right
to increase the contract to 4O,OOO-horse
power.
The company will bring the power to
Baltimore over the route of the Mary
land and Pennsylvania Railroad, former
ly the Baltimore and Lehigh, which is
the most direct from the Susquehanna.
This railroad property was recently
purchased by Mr.. Brown.
1t is said the directors of the company

The above from the Baltimore Sun o

the matter is almost in shape to b.
handled but it is probable that those in
terested do not yet care to make thei
plans public.

a native of Pennsylvania and was ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy from New
Jersey. He entered the service in July
1863 and became commander in July
1898.
He graduated from the Naval Academy
in 1867 and was promoted to the grade
ofensign the following year. He was on
duty on the Asiatic Station until 1870.
In 1881 he was assigned to the Lancaster
on the European Station and the next
year served with the Galena on the South
Atlantic Station. He was promoted to
be a ieutenant-commande in 1892 and
later served as assistant inspector of the

HAyRE DE GRACE ELECTION LAW.

On Monday Judge Waters signed pro
forma orders in the Havre de Grace
election contests, dismissing the petitions
and the cases will now go to the Court
of Appeals and be passed upon on their
merits. This was done by agreement, as
both sides were anxious to have the Court
of last resort decide the matter as speed
lily as possible. In the case ofVanneman
against Pusey the point to be decided is
whether the latter is eligible to the office
under the law, Incorporating the city,
that requires the mayor to be assessed
for 81 900 upon the books of the munich
pality. 1t is agreed in the statement of
facts that the firm of c. c. Pussy and
Company are assessed for $4,000 and
that c. c. Pussy is a one-half owner
thereof
The principal point involved in the
case of Hecht against Coale is whether
the Mayor, in the case of tie vote has
the right to cast the deciding ballot to
confirm his own appointment.
AS the matter now stands the present
officials are in control of the city affairs
until the Court of Appeals passes upon
the case, which will probably be in a
short time, if the Clerk puts this case
upon the docket during the present term
of court
