WILL MAKE BIG IMPROVEMENTS.
plan Of the B. and o. Railroad
Company for the Erection,
Practically, of a New
Bridge at Havre
de Grace.

The report seems not to be with.
out foundation that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company con-
templates making improvements at
Havre de Grace, and will
strengthen, if not practically erect
a new bridge across the Susque-
hanna river, and that bids have
already been made for the work.
1t is said that new piers will be
built from Garrett Island, east, to
Frenchtown, and when this work
is completed and the iron work
overhauled, new piers will be built
across the Susquehanna river, west,
to the Hartford size. A few years
ago this bridge was considered one
of the most substantial bridges on
the B. and o. system, but in re-
cent years trestle work has been
erected on the island to support the
superstructure. For long time,
it is said, these repairs have been
contemplated, and at one time it
was thought that even the course
of the roadbed, leading to the
west approach to the bridge would
be changed. While there is
nothing definitely known at the
present time concerning these plans,
it is still believed by some, that it
is the object of the company to
change the course of the roadbed,
and lay tracks some distance north
of the present line, in order to do
away with heavy reverse curve
in the deep cut near the west ap-
proach to the bridge.--Ledger,
Havre de Grace.

Bio Hay Crop.

John w. Miller, whose farm is
about one mile east of town, claims
the banner hay crop of upper
Cecil. From a plot of ground con-
tanning about two and three quarter
acres he cut ten tons of the finest

Mr.. Miller asserts the grass on the
plot of ground referred to was so
thick as to require no raking after
it was cut, being punched with the
fork alone. He would like to hear
from some of our other farmers if
they can show a larger crop per
acreage.

rested by Detective Resting late Fri
day afternoon because it was thought
that he had lured pretty Julia Yauger
away from her home in Germany to

he still loves the woman, and that he
would marry her if she kept him in
Jail for so years. Schenk was arrest
ed on a charge of unlawful cohahita-
ton, and will be given trial today.
Inspector Sawyer of the immigra-
ton office was at police court this
morning to ascertain if Schenk
brought the woman into the country
for immoral purposes, and If such
proves to be the case Schenk will be
prosecuted by the federal authorities.
The police, however, believe the man
intends to do right as near as he
knows. Schenk has a wife and child
living in the east. Schenk said this
morning:
II love Miss Yauger. I have known
! her since she was a little girl. l had
| her to come over to this country and
| intended to marry her as soon as
could get divorce. l let her occupy
my room because she was stranger

domestic work until I can get a di-

leased, if he will promise to live
according to the laws and protect the
