Election day in Bel Air passed off
without noise or incident. At no time
during the day was the crowd noticeable
and the voting was kept up in very
even manner until the polls closed at six
o'clock. The number of ballots cast was
much smaller than last year.
-Messrs. William l.. Cooley and J.
Thomas c. Hopkins, trustees, have sold
"Black Island" a portion of the TAYLOR
e. 00n 1oT
acres and is improved with residence.
1t is situated nearly opposite Spesutia

The mission will be in charge of the Re-
demptionist Fathers ofAnnapolis. These
missions have always been very largely
attended.
The ducking season opened on the
flats below Havre de Grace on Monday.
Like last year, the morning was unfavor
able for shooting and there were many
disappointed gunners on the Susque-
hanna flats. AS daybreak approached n
dense fog settled over the water and it
was impossible to see more than seventy
five yards. The fog did not lift untilnoon
and the few ducks that were flying, of
course, would not decoy. Ducks are
plentiful and good shooting is looked for
when better weather comes
Halloween was generally observed
in Bel Air on Friday evening. The fcstivi-
ties were of a much more pleasant nature
than has usually been the case. The
young people of the town dressed up in
grotesque costumes and made number
of social calls. 1t was even limited that
some of the younger members of the fair
sex surreptitiously donned the clothing
belonging to the male members of the
family, but their disguise was of such a
complete nature and their assumed man.
ner so mannish that no.,one knew the diff
ference.
The total Republican vote polled in
Hartford county for Comptroller 1901,
was 1886. On Tuesday they polled |
2 1928, which indicated a falling off of
only 113 votes in the entire county. The
Democrats in 1901 pollcd 3,166 votes.
On Tuesday they only cast 1888 which |
indicated a falling roff of 533 votes.
Had each side been able to cast the same
ofvotes as last year Mr.. Talbott's |
plurality would have been over 800, SO |
the Republicans have very little to brag
about when they come to discuss the re-
turns from this county.
The election returns were received |
over both telephones on Tuesday even
ing and the result was known as quickly |
here as in any part of the country. The
Telephone Company rendered
especially good service in the collection
of local returns and Talbott's plurality |
was accurately announced at The 1Egis |
office i'll Bel Air before nine o'clock. The |
Democrats from the upper part ofBel Air
parade, which while it was
small in numbers WAS demonstrative in
the loudest degree. One of the trans
parencies bore the inscription He lost |
his" after which was depicted a huge |
pick. This was very clever come off on
one of Mr.. Pages unique ways ofelection-
eering. BY twelve o'clock both sides had |
become satisfied and the streets were de-
serted.
The improvements on the Maryland |
and Pennsylvania Railroad are progress
ing in a much more rapid manner than at |
any time during the summer. Civil Engi- |
neer Ward, who has general charge of the
work, expects to have trains running
over large portion of the graded road
bed within six weeks if the present
weather continues. The steel for the
viaduct at Overshot trestle has arrived
and workmen are busily engaged in put
ting the new structure in place. This

marks the spot where the worst accident
in the roads history occurred. 1t will be
remembered that an entire freight train
and three engines went down, killing four
men and injuring others. The present
management seem to realize that the pa
irons of this railroad will substantially
encourage better service and they are
making all efforts to meet the demand.
The passenger traffic for the past four
months has been nearly three times
greater than that of the same period of
1901. improvements ola more extensive
nature are contemplated next year and it
will only be question of time before the
Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad
will be one of the standard roads running
into Baltimore city.
