Maryland's Taxable Basis.

nh0k Aonu haA01hS
The official figures of the total
assessed value of taxable property
in the different counties of Mary
land and Baltimore city show that
there has been a slight increase
in the amount throughout the State
since last year, and that there has
also been some increase in Balti-
more city, Notwithstanding the fire.
The total in the state reaches $3.50,
742, ,794, against, $673,337 ,299 last
year, and the total for Baltimore
city is 1886, 1862, ,772, against 1886,
348,52S last year. The amount
raised by the state tax is much in
excess of previous years, owing to
the fact that the rate is now 223
cents.on the $1O0. The increased
rate is due to the fixing of the
school tax at Is cts., instead of 103 !,
and the levying of the tax of one
cent ON the 800 on the public
loan of 1904. The amount which
will be raised this year by the State
tax is 81 ,531, ,e73 "a; that last year
was 81, ,144, ,973. 40. Cecil county
is assessed for State purposes at
$11, ,S52,6 $40.

TRAIN WRECK AT MAMA.
A Number Of Persons Injured.

A number of persons were injur-
ed in a train wreck at Wawa, at
noon on Friday last, among them
being Edward Worth, of Media;
Mrs. Wickersham, of Kennett
Square; James T. Gully, of Oxford,
conductor, and VIM. Rollison, of
Oxford, brakeman.
The accident was caused by a
passenger train crashing into the
market train, which was standing
at Wawa awaiting orders. The
passenger rounded the curve at a
high rate of speed, when Engineer
Pyle saw the market train directly
ahead and applied the brakes, but
too late to stop his train in time
to avoid the crash. The loss to
rolling stock is estimated at
$4,000.

Flaqman's Hand Hurt.

The many friends of Joseph,
popularity known as "Dixie"
Devon, will be sorry to learn of the
painful accident with which he
met on Saturday morning last.
Devon is employed as flagman on a
Baltimore Central freight and while
throwing a switch at Avondale
quarries Saturday morning, had
his right hand caught between the
lever and a car step, the ends of
the fourth and little fingers being
taken off at the first joint. Escap-
ing steam from the engine hid the
car momentarily from the view OF
the switchman, who threw the lever
over before the car had cleared the
switch. The injury while very
painful and incapacitating the vic
tim for work, is doing as well
as could be expected, and "Dixie's''
many enthusiastic base ball ad
mirers hope it will not put him
"out of the game" as it was
due in a great measure to his
splendid all around work be
hind the bat and in other depart
ments of the game that the cham
pionship of the Cecil County
League was landed last year by
Rising Sun.
