1t was fifty-one years ago on Thurs |
day, since the tracks were laid across the
ice between Havre de Grace and Perry
vile and trains were run across on this |
natural bridge. The track stayed there
until the latter part of February. The
! cars were not taken over i'll long sections
but one by one. They were not the heavy
carriages of today, but there was con-
siderable weight. During all the weeks
that this ice route was used there was
| no accident or damage done to property.
On Friday night, Misses Florence
Matthias and Elizabeth Daughmycr, of
Havre de Grace, were assaulted by a
negro. The two young women had been
down town shopping and, while they
were walking on Congress street, the
negro snatched a pocket book belonging
to Miss Matthias. In attempting to get
the pocketbook, he dropped it On the
sidewalk and as Miss Daughmyer stopped
to pick it up, the negro fel!ed her. The

escaped.
The Bisscll Shaw Coal Company,
of Baltimore City, has been Incorporated
by Benjamin Bissell, Jr., Charles w. Shaw.
Charles P. Coady and William ]. Nc
Bride The capital stock of the company
is s. 900 and its principal office is in
Baltimore City 1t vii also operate a
branch office in Bel Air. MIR. benjamin
Bissell, Jr., is the president of the new
company and Charles W. Shaw is secre-
tary and treasurer. The company is in
a position on account of its connections,
to furnish fuel at low rates and it will
probably do a considerable amount of
business.
The harness shop of Mr.. John r.
Farley, which is near the Times office on
Bond street, Bel Air, caught fire on We'd
nesday evening from stove pipe. The
alarm was given and the impromptu fire
department, which consisted of almost
every male inhabitant, white and black,
of the town, promptly responded. Much
difficulty was experienced in getting a
stream of water on the fire because the
hoseand nozzles were frozen. Fortunately
the place is somewhat isolated and the
adjoining buildings were at no time in
danger. Had the fire occurred in a large
structure however, it would have been {
completely beyond control before any
etIcctual work could have been done.
The thermometer registered eight de-
grees above zero on Tuesday morning,
which is the coolest weather we have
had this winter. Ice houses are being
rapidly filled with excellent ice. The
cold snap has been very embarrassing to
those who have been unable to obtain
an adequate amount offucl. The first ship
ment of coal, that has come to Bel Air
for sometime, arrived on Wednesday
morning and was soon distributed. The
Court House and jail, both ofwhich were
in need of fuel, got portion of the ship.
ment There is no immediate prospect
that the coal famine will be relieved this
winter and those who purchased wood
stoves may consider themselves lucky.

-Adjutaht General Saunders, recently
stated that an cncampment of the entire
brigade of the Maryland National Guard
will be held this year and that it would
take place much earlier than usual, prob
ably the latter part ofJune. The brigade
consists of the fourth and fifth regiments
| of Baltimore, the first regiment from
| different counties i'll the State and troop |
! A cavalry. There has been no encamp-
ment of the whole brigade since 1901
when it was held at Queenstown. The
| First Regiment however, was encamped |
| at Bel Air last summer. 1t will be very |
easy matter to have the Brigade Encamp- |
nlent held in Bel Air, if our people will go |
about it in the proper manner. The |
hcalthfulness of the place has been fully |
assured by the experience of Camp Saun-
ders. Ofcourse, the brigade will take up
much more room and the proper camp |
ing grounds would have to be furnished |
by the local community. Besides an cx-
