County Treasurer John Finney Wells
expects to move his office into the per-
manent quarters i'll the Court House
either the latter part of this week or the
first of next. The grand jury held its
first session in it's new room, which is
upstairs in the front addition, on We'd
nesday. The Register of Wills office has
also been removed, and the County Com
missioners will probably be able to go
into their rooms about the first of De-
cember In the meantime, Contractor
Smith is busy putting on the finishing
touches, and the painters are also work
ing hard to get everything completed as

The city of Havre de Grace with its |
many natural facilities, could be made |
one of the manufacturing centers of this
country if strong pull together was
made by all of its citizens. Its natural |
location makes its many facilities readily |
adaptable for all kinds of plants, and the
shipping arrangements are all that could |
be wished. 1t is true that the channel in
the bay is not of sufficient depth for
large ships, but a proper effort should
induce Congress to spend some more
money in dredging. Two of the largest
railroad lines in the country pass through
the place, and there is no more beautiful
or healthful spot in the state. With
such opportunities, it would seem to berp
to the citizens to give the place the re-
quired push to make it one of our largest
cities.
Mr.. S. Griffith Davis has sold 100
acres of land, being a portion of the old
Stump property, near Darlington, to Mr..
James l.. Breeze for $4,000. The prop
erty lies on Swan Greek and the Bay Shore
and has on it valuable ducking grounds.
The old Stump mansion is on this prop
erty. 1t has recently been improved by
the new owner and now has nearly all
of the conVenences of city home. This
is one of six residences owned by Mr..
Breeze, who is a wealthy New Yorker.
He is the owner of fifteen automobiles
and valuable adjunct to the neighbor-
hood where he will spend portion of
his time. His liberal spirit will do much
towards aiding the many enterprises of
that vicinity of Hartford. AS an example
of this, he recently made a present of 500
to the teacher of the local school, which
was to be expended in buying presents
for the school children.
A fatal head-on railroad collision &C.
Cured on the Columbia and Port Deposit
railroad, near West Nottingham, on
Monday. The Oxford accommodation,
while trying to make siding was run
into by an express train. The engineer
trainInen were hurt. A number of pas
seagers were also slightly injured. One
of the peculiar features of the accident
was that Miss Mary Gillespie, of Colora,
whose family seems to be pursued by
misfortune, was passenger on the ek-
press from Philadelphia. Two months
ago her brother, DR.. Franklin Gillespie,
was struck by train and killed about
half mile from the wreck and about
two weeks ago, her sister, Mrs. John
Roger Peale, was massacred at Lingchou,
China, together with four other mission
aries A Chinese mob captured Mr.. and
Mrs. Pcale, stripped and exposed them
for fifteen minutes, and then dubbed Mr..
Pcale to death in his wife's presence.
Subsequently Mrs. Peale was murdered
in the same brutal fashion. Miss Giles.
pie. however, was only slightly injured
by the Jar of the collision.
