The Queen AEne's Z al.


Elkton, Nd, Jan. l9.--The
business men of Salisbury, Snow
Hill and Chincoteague have start
ed a movement to induce the
Queen Anne's Railroad to extend
its line to their towns, and the
company is said to be seriously
considering the project. The pro-
posed extension would leave the
main line of the Queen Anne's
Railroad at Il point between Den
ton, Caroline County, and the
Delaware line. 1t would extend
directly south to fredericksburg,
thence to Salisbury, Wicomico
County, to Snow Hill, in Worches-
ter County, and then to its termin-
MS, which would be Il point near
the Virginia line,- close to Chin
coteague Island.
The present session OF the
Legislature will be asked to ex-
cmpt from taxation for Il period OF
years the proposed railroad in the
counties of Caroline, Dorchester,
Wicomico and Worcester. 1t is
reported that no trouble will be
experienced in securing the right
Of way, the landowners being
willing to give the land, provided
the road is constructed. The pro-
posed road would bring Salisbury
within four hours ride of Balti-
more, and Snow Hill within le S
than five hours.
The Love Point extension of the
Queen Anne's road will shortly le
ready for operation. When tn s
branch is completed officials OF the
road, it is understood, will consid-
er the proposed extension to

General Chaffee says the proonga-
ton Of guerrilla warfare is due to the
physical character of the country and
to the nature of the warfare carried
on by the insurgents, who pose as
friends and act as enemies in the

played by the American troops, Of
and to the fear of assassination on the
part Of those natives who are friendly
disposed toward the Americans should

ing a different song from the little
boy who wanted his coin back when
the Car jumped the track. On satur-
day night while ridingon a Darby car
he was iostled by the crowd and in

knocked off came the chance for the
diamond to he taken.
Captain Culbert picked up his hat
and left the car. In an instant 1t
flashed upon him, that something had
happened, and he discovered that the
diamond stud was missing. Captain
Culbert quickly entered the car again
and denounced the man who had
brushed against him as a thief.
The fellow denied the accusation
and there was commotion in the car
for a while. Then Captain Culbert
called out: Does any one know this
man.
After a pause another fellow in the
car, evidently confederate, declared
that the stranger was Mr.. Jones, Of
Chester, said that he was all right.
After some more words. Captain Cul-
bert left the car. He has a good de-
scription of the stranger and proposes
to have him arrested.
