Ice House Burned.

Theimmense ice house at French
town, on the Susquehanna river,
belonging to the American Ice
Company, was entirely destroyed
by fire on Friday last, together with
engine, hosting machinery, etc.,
used in filling same. The fire was
discovered shortly before noon, and
had made such progress that it was
unable to check it with the limited
facilities at hand. The direction
of the wind prevented the flames
communicating to the plant of the
Eureka Fertilizer Company, near
by, but the B. & o. railway
bridge, directly north and in close
proximity was endangered and was
only saved through the efforts of a
large force of men, assisted by a To-
comotive, which furnished the
water supply for the fire fighters.
The supposition is the fire was
caused by sparks from passing
engine. Fully 10000 tons of ice
were stored in the house, which,
while under1 one roof, was vir-
tually four houses, being divided
into sections, one of the sections be.
ing filed with ice stored two win
ters ago. The loss will probably
reach $4,000

Fourth OF July-Celebration At
E1kton.

A number of the leading young
men of Elkton, held meeting last
Monday evening and decided to
hold a grand Fourth of July cele-
bration this year-the first one of
any magnitude since 1876.
Various committees were appoint
ed to arrange for attractions. At
one o'clock in the afternoon a pa
rade will be formed, comprising the
members of Company E, First
Maryland Regiment, Fife and
Drum Corps, Brass Band, members
of the Elkton and the visiting
base ball club that day. The pa
rade will end at the Elkton ball
park where the amusement pro-
gram will be carried out. First,
there will be a handsome American
flag raised on a fifty foot pole, fol
lowed by an address by an able,
speaker; singing of the Star Span
gled Banner; reading of the Dec
laration of Independence by John
5. Strahorn, ESQ.,, OF ElkGOn.
Next will be a sham battle fought
between members of Company e,
and at the conclusion of which a
creased pig will be set at liberty,
and a prize offered to the person
who catches and holds it three
minutes. Next will be grand
display of daylight fireworks, fol-
lowed by game of base ball be-
tween the Elkton independent team
and some visiting club, yet to be
arranged for. The Elkton team is
now one of the strongest in Mary
land, and will play several of the
fastest amateur teams in the State
before the end of the present
season.

HEIRESS WANTED
Snug Fortune Awaits Colora Girl
Left Home Years Ago.
HER WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.

The whereabouts of Miss Annie
J. Slicer, formerly Of Colord, are
unknown to the administrator of
the estate of her father, the late
Jacob Slicer, whose death occurred
in March of last year. The young
lady disappeared from her home
near Colora five years ago and
nothing has since been heard from
her. Since the death of her mother
she had kept house for her father,
but finally tired of life on a farm
and left without letting her desti-
nation be known.
Jacob Slicer left an estate val
ued at $25, 700, his heirs being a
son, VIM. T. Slicer, and the mis-
sing daughter.
The son took out letters of ad-
ministration, and at the last session
of the Orphans Court the estate
was distributed, the daughters
share being set aside, subject to her
future claim. The son has adver-
tised repeatedly in leading city
journals, hoping to learn his mis-
sing sisters whereabouts, but moth
ing has been learned of her since
the day she disappeared. Ifliving,
and of sound mind, it is thought
that the knowledge that $4,000
awaits her call would prompt her
to present herself or make known
her whereabouts. Should she not
be heard from within the next two
years, the Court may be asked, as
was done in the Wildman case, to
declare the missing heiress legally
dead, in which event her share of
her fathers estate would revert to
her brother.

The Austin Concert Company,
which has been giving nightly
performances for the past week on
the hall grounds and selling sundry
wares, folded its tents and left
Thursday. One of the schemes to
induce sales was a voting contest
for the most popular young lady
in town. each person purchasing
goods being allowed one vote for
every CENTS worth purchased, the
winner to receive a gold watch.
Miss Hettie Cooney received the
highest number of votes and was
awarded the watch, her closest
