Crop Bulletin.

Over large portion Of the State,
and the eastern half generally, there
was little or no rain during the week,
while in places over the western half
fairly heavy showers occurred on the
18th and 10Th. The rains were gen.

to any great extent.
The weather was favorable, on the
whole, for harvesting corn, cote on
and rice and for farm work In gen.

Franchise Granted.

AT a special meeting of the
County Commissioners on Wednes
day, the franchise for the use OF
the public roads from the Delaware
state line to Chesapeake City, by
way of Elkton, was granted to the
Tennis Construction Co., of Phila
which is required to deposit $1,000
with the county treasurer as a
guarantee that the road will be
completed and in operation within
eight months from date. Counsel
for the Elkton and Chesapeake City
Electric road protested against
granting the franchise, claiming
that the commissioners on the board
of 1900 gave them the right of way
and that they are now ready to &c
ahead and build the road. The
present board thought differently
Counsel for the ElktOp and Chesa.
peake City Company stated after
the meeting that they will not per
nit the Tennis Company to build
until after the courts have decided
who are the rightful holders of the
franchise.

Attempt At Jail Breaking

Charles Ehret, a prisoner con-
fined in Bel Air Jail on the charge
of larceny was frustrated in an at.
tempt to escape on Friday last.
He was confined in a cell on the
second floor of the Jail and by
means of a broomhandle sharpened
at one end and a large spoon had
succeeded in making an opening
in the stone and cement wall two
feet in diameter and eighteen
inches in depth when discovered
by the Sheriff. The cement and
stones taken from the wall had
been concealed by Ehret beneath
his bed and but two or three inches
OF the wall remained to be taken
out to permit escape, when the hole
was discovered and the prisoner
moved to another cell.

Schley as an Issue.

The managers of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, it is claimed, will make the
Schley case and the bearing it had
on the distribution of patronage an
issue this fall. Directly after the
findings were announced of the
Schley Court of Inquiry last winter
the Maryland delegation in Con-
gress declared itself in favor of
some action designed to vindicate
the Admiral, but when the division
of patronage began to be discussed
it was noticeable that insistance
upon the vindication of the Adj
miral was not conducive to the good
standing of patronage-hunter at
the White House,
1t is charged that the members of
the delegation-with the exception
of Messrs. Wellington and Mudd-
were held off by the Administra-
ton from action, with a prospect of
receiving the gift of Federal patron
age. Mr.. Mudd was energetic in
endeavoring to accomplish some
thing for Admiral Schley and was
defeated in the patronage fight,
while Senator McComas took no
aggressive action in the matter and
controlled the appointments.
1t is proposed to make the most
of the charge that Senator Me-
Comas and those of the delegation
under his leadership could have
accomplished something for Schley
if they had not been more interest
ed in cultivating cordial relations
with the President, and that Mr..
McCOmas would not have had as
much influence with the President
as he has if he had been more
active in Admiral Schley's behalf.

Presidency of the U. S. Steel Trust


Reports of the probable retire
ment of Chas. M Schwab, president
of the billion dollar United States
Steel Corporation, are again in Cir
culation. James Gayley vice presi-
dent of the corporation is mention
ed as the successor of Mr.. Schwah
to the position.
James A. Gayley, who is a son
of Rev. s. A. 'Gayley, formerly OF
West Nottingham, received the
position of first vice president OF

services to the Carnegie Company.
AS first vice president of the Steel
Corporation, Mr.. Gayley has had
charge of the ore mines, railroad,
steam ships and docks of the Steel
Corporation. Mr.. Gayley has been
a scientific metallurgist for quar-
ter of a century and to his expert
ness in this line his prominence is
due. He completed his early
studies at West Nottingham
Academy, Cecil county, Md, and
entered Lafayette College, where
he graduated. He began his career
as chemist for the Crane Iron
Works at Catasauqua, Pa, at a
salary of $500 year. This was in
1877. In 1885 he entered the en-
ploy of the Carnegie Company. He
was given charge of the Edgar
Thompson Steel Works, at Brad
dock, and instituted many econ
omies. From there he was promoted
to the position of managing Girec-
tor of the Carnegie Company. In
1898 Mr.. Gayley was given sole
charge of the mining, shipping and
storing of iron ore and handled a
greater amount of ore than any one
person had ever handled before.
Mr.. Gayley has made a record
on inventions pertaining to blast
furnaces. He devised bronze cool
ing plates, carbon bricks for furnace
Innings and process of producing
a dry air blast.
Mr.. Gayley is As years old and
married. Until he became first
vice. president of the United States
Steel Corporation, he lived in Pitts
burg but has since resided in New
York.
Mr.. Schwab denies that he has
any intention of resigning as presi-
dent of the United States Steel
Trust, the newspaper reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
