The Baltimore and Delaware Bay
railroad, which recently passed under
the control of the Delaware railroad,
says the EUery E'Uening, is being put
in excellent condition between Mas
seys and Chestertown. New rails and
ties have taken the place of those
worn out, and the tracks have been
raised and ballasted. Nothing as yet,
has been done OH the track between
Clayton and Masseys, and there is
rumor that this part of the road will
be abandoned in the near future, con-
nection being made with the Queen
Annes and Kent railroad at Masseys.
Under the present schedule the after
noon train on that railroad does not
come any farther than Massey's. The
branch from Clayton to Massey's on
two occasions during the past few
years saved the Delaware railroad
thousands of dollars on perishabl'
freight when bad wrecks occurred be
tween Townsend and Blackbird. The
trains were switched off at Clayton
and reached Townsend by way of Mas
sey's.

AS the result of the weakening Of
Delaware Railroad bridges, Friday
night, an order was issued to run all
trains over said bridges at four miles
an hour until repaired. The weaken
ing is attributed to the throwing of
dirt, in the construction of a double
track, against the wooden supports.
Fortunately no damage was done.

Mt. Pleasant gives a continuous
double track from a half a mile north
of Ginn's, between Middletown and
Townsend. New double-track bridges
are being built near Town send and
Brenford, and considerable grading
has been done between Ginn's and
Blackbird. From there to Green
spring it is level. The long side track
at Clayton extends to Greenspring,
and it will take only short while to
extend the additional track to Clay
ton. At every station south of here,
the side tracks are of considerable
length, and the one at Harrington ex-
tends so far north as FELTON,. The rail-
road company intends to push the
work as fast as possible during the
fall and winter. 1t has been much
handicapped during the summer by
the scarcity of help. The Italians
who went to Dover to build the trolley
road have been utilized on the Della
ware railroad and an unsuccessful eff
fort was made to secure 800 more from
New York. There is no question bu
what the double track will be com
pleted as far south as Clayton by mex
spring and the entire division by mex
fall.

DeImar Wrought up by an ElOpement.
The mystery that surrounded the
disappearance of Michael H. German,
wealthy manufacturer of Delmar, has

has been disclosed, which is causing a
greater sensation than ever before oc-
cnred in this State. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that he was accompanied in his
flight by the wife of Francis Harmon
son, Sr., well-known and prosperous
farmer living about three miles south
of Delmar in Maryland. Mr.. Harmon
son is tho father of H. E. Harrlonson,
of Berlin, Md, and DIR. G. G.. Harmon
son of Clayton. 1t at first was sup
posed after Mr.. Germans departure,
that he had been murdered, as no

spared no effort to locate him. But on

The officials and clerks of the Civil

taken the examination, but had heard
nothing from it Shortly afteTward an

sequences. From this day on nothing but

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies.

the only sure way to cure every form
of piles is to use a remedy like the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, which Is applied directly
TO the parts affected, and its wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the
first application because the medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed by It's
SUES and sensitive membranes of the rec
tum. and the cure is made speedily and
almost before the patient IL aware of it
every trace of piles has left him.
This is one of the reasons why the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure has been so uniformly sue
cessfuI 1t IS applied directly just where
il is needed and where il viii do the most
good Not By the roundabout wGy of the
stomach nor the harsh barbarouS methods
Of various surgical operations and social
ed systems.
Direct application to the seat of disease
is the only rational way, and this Is fully
accomplished by the Pyramid Pile Cure
II the voluntary testimony of thousands
who have tried this remedy is worth any
thing then no sufferer has any excuse for
longer delaying in giving It Il fair trIal,
knowing that when you do so the PyTa-
mid Pile Cure will have made one more
friend the best possible advertisement we
can have The chief advantages Of the
remedy are II cures without pain, the
cure is lasting it contains no poison. and
lastly. il is the cheapest and quickest
cure yet found. Your druggist can tell
