ton Lumber Co. Fatally Hurt.
Louis P. Beinlich, for a number of
years in the employ of the Preston
Lumber and Coal Company as con-
ductor on its logging train, was fatally
injured on Friday evening last in the
railroad yard at Crellin by being run
over by the engine of his train. He
had changed a switch to allow the
engine to go onto another track and
while it was backing he attempted to
mount the footboard in the rear of
the tender, but missing his footing he
fell across one of the rails, the engine
passing over his PROSTATE body, al
most severing it above his hips and
producing injuries causing his death,
which did not occur, however, until
after the injured man had been con
veyed to the Oakland Sanitarium
and an effort made to save, or at least
prolong, his life.
The deceased was held in high es
teen by his employers and his fellow
workmen. He was member of the
Odd Fellows and the Junior Order
United American Mechanics. He was
a native of Pennsylvania. His funeral
took place ON Monday from st. Marks
Ely. Lutheran church and was in
charge of the local lodge Jr. o. U. A.

interment was made in the Oakland

MARYLAND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
DR.. William Bullock Clark Will Resume
Field Work This Summer.

DIR. William Bullock Clark Will Resume
Field Work This Summer.
DR.. William Bullock Clark, director
of the Ma, yland Geological Survey,
has made plans for the prosecution of
field work in eight counties during
the coming summer. Surveys for
topographic maps will be conducted
in three counties, -Wicomico, Queen
Anne's and Baltimore-by coopera-
ton with the United States Geologic
al Survey as in the past. 1t is hoped
that the work may be completed in
all three counties. Messrs. L. Carvel
Hall and Il. j. Basinger, of the Fed
eral Bureau, will have charge of the
topographic work, and Mr.. E. l.. Nc
Nair of the preliminary work in Bal
timore and Queen Anne's counties
The topographic maps will serve as
basis for geologic and soil maps,
which will indicate the disposition of
the mineral wealth and the farming
possibilities of the several counties.
The Maryland Survey alone will
carry forward the investigation of
the States geology. Geological sur
veys of Kent, Prince Georges, and
Baltimore will be taken up and push
ed to completion. The work in the
region of the first two counties will be
done under the direction of Dr. G.. B.
Shattuck, who will have Messrs. b.
L. Miller and M. w. Twitchell for as
sistants. Dr. E. B. Mathews, the
Assistant State Geologist, will work
in Baltimore county, and will have
Mr.. A. Johannsen with him. Garrett
and Allegany, in the mountain re-
gion, have already been studied. DIR.
g. C. Martin will carry the Appala-
chan investigation into the western
past of Washington county.
The Highway division of the Sur
vey will be ready to cooperate with
any county which asks it's assistance
in the maintenance or improvement
of its roads. The Division is already
engaged upon works for the Commits
sioners of Prince Georges, Hartford
and Howard counties.

manifest an interest and help make
the celebration a memorable and
glorious one.

THE PARK ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.

Work of Installing tho Machinery Soon to
Begin-A Modern Plant.
Mr.. j. l.. Livers and several expert
workmen are at the Park installing
the new electric light plant. The
poles are being placed in position and
the wire is being strung. Work on
the power house is under Roadway,
and as soon as the excavations for the
foundation for the boiler, engine and
dynamo are made, an expert from
Philadelphia will arrive to superin-
tend the putting in of the foundation.
The power house will be % 36 feet,
and 16 feet high and will be frame
structure.
This plant will consist of the latest
machinery of today, both as to en-
gines, boilers and dynamos. The
power plant will be furnished and in
stalled by the Erie City Iron Works.
1t will consist of one of their special
heavy high pressure return tubular
boilers with all the latest improve
ments. The engine will be one of
their latest improved high grade four
valve engines, which might be termed
an improved Corliss. This engine
is in use in many of the largest
plants in America today, and has
proven a great success; for design,
material, workmanship, finish, regu-
lation and economy it has surpassed
all its predecessors. The other ma
chinery in the power plant will con-
sist of headers, pumps and all appar-
atus that is necessary to make com
plete outfit. This complete plant
will be designed and installed under
the directions of M. A. Green, of Phil
adelphia, the representative of the
Erie City Iron Works. The electrical
portion of the plant will consist of a
Warren generator sold by the Rumsey
Electrical Manufacturing Company,
of Philadelphia, and is up to the times
in every particular. Taking all in
all, when the plant is completed it
will be one of the most up to date
plants in America.
