The Susquehanna CauaI.

A bill introduced in the Pennsyl-
vania legislature to annul the
charter of Susquehanna Canal, has
aroused the opposition of owners
of that waterway who would like
to establish an electric light and
water power plant thereon.
There are two syndicates waring
for the possession Of the Susque-
hanna. The Baltimore syndicate
owns the canal between Columbia
and Havre de Grace; bought for
$4,000 few years ago to satisfy
Maryland's mortgage Of $1,000, 900
against it. The Baltimore capital
lists proposed widening, deepening
and otherwise improving it for
water power purposes. Beyond
surveying the canal nothing has
been done.
The Lancaster syndicate, is urg
ing the annulment of the Susque-
hanna Canal charter. They state
that the State Board Of Health has
declared the canal a nuisance pre-
judicial to public health, as the
water is stagnant, locks are decay
ed and hanks falling in. The Ian
caster capitalists have possession of
about seven miles of the Susque-
hanna river front, and intend to
supply electric power for radius
of thirty miles, but to perfect their
plant they must put the Baltimore
people out of business. If they
succeed, they will be able to supply
the cities of York, Columbia and
Lancaster with electric power.

The Fox Hunt.

The fox hunt held by W. J..
Adams, of the Maryland House, on
Friday afternoon last, attracted a
large crowd. The excuses of
errand to Rising Sun that day were
numerous and varied, and of course
being here at the time, what more
natural than for the person to re-
main for the hunt. 1t had been
many day-some say over twenty
years-since a drop hunt had
bee nheld here, and everyone
seemed to be anxious to witness
the affair, so by two o'clock the
crowd of men, boys and not a
few of the gentler sex, that
had congregated on the corners
about Center Square was variously
estimated at 800 or 400, or even in
larger figures. The fox was
brought out at 2:30 and after a
couple of snap shots had been taken
of it by the official photographer,
was dropped in the center
of the Square and scampered off
down the lane made for it by the
ranks of humanity, going out West
Main street at IA lively pace, and
when last seen had turned off to
the right and was making good time
across the fields of the Barclay
Reynolds farm, adjoining town.
After about ten minutes wait
pack of about 80 hounds of all
colors and degrees of leanness, was
unleashed and went off on the
trail at hot pace under full
tongue.
The trail was lost about a mile
northwest of town but finally found
and taken up again, reynard cir
cling town to the north and taking
a southeasterly course, the pack
and horsemen following till late in
the evening, but without getting
the brush, the quarry finally throw
ing them off the scent.
The scenes and incidents before,
during and after the chase, in con-
sequence of the imbibing of too
much of the "spirit'' of the occa-
sion, we have not type sufficiently
grotesque to describe.
Our worthy guardian of the
town peace had bad day Of it,
with more than he could attend to.
Several "scraps" occurred, and one
dusky belligerant got some hard
knocks on the head from the bald
end of a hickory spoke, while
another had a short interview with
Squire Taylor and was compelled
to leave stipend for failing to
hold sacred several of the ordi
nances as laid down by our City
Fathers and for consuming some of
the Magistrates professional time.
Altogether it was great day,
but the promoter of the affair has
intimated that as far as he is con-
cerEed there is likely to be another
lapse of years before a similar car
nival of sport is held, and the town
and its Inhabitants have settled
again to their accustomed daily
routine.
