For Many Years a Favorite Stopping
Place of Baltimore County People.-The
Old Town Hotel, High street near Gay street,
Baltimore, hosiery whose history goes back
over 100 years, has been purchased from Mr..
Henry s. Wheeler by Mr.. Albert L. Frank, of
the firm of Schloss Bros. & Co. The old struc-
ture will be RACED, and large manufacturing
building will be erected on the site.
By the demolition of the old hotel another
landmark in Baltimore will pass away. The
Old Town Hotel was patronized chiefly by
farmers and was one of group of hotels in the
vioinity of Gay and High streets which had
wagon yards attached to them. Farmers would
drive to Baltimore in wagons, and frequently
sell their produce in the yards. The passing
of these wagon-yard hotels is due to the rail-
roads, as it is cheaper to ship goods by steam
and much more expeditions.
gentleman who has been in business many
years in the vicinity of Gay aid High streets
says that formerly there were eight of these
hotels in that neighborhood.
LAS the Old Town Hotel has been sold and
is to be torn down." he said, "but one of these
hotels remains, the one at the northwest cor
ner of Hillen and Forest Streets" This has
been known as Streets Hotel for many years.
Farmers used to drive from points as far
north as York and Lancaster, Pa, and put
their teams up at these wagon yards attached
to the hotels.
The Old Town Hotel had many proprietors
in its history. Recently it passed into the
hands of Mr. Henry s. Wheeler, who acquired
it from the Savings Bank of Baltimore.

Wheeler, of Glencoe, N. C. R. R., entertained

A "Joky" Young Man Makes Trouble
With an Auto Horn.-A number of amusing
incidents occurred on the Hartford road during
recent afternoon. A young man rode on the
car running between Hamilton and Carney.
He had with him one of the alarm horns used
on autos-the kind with an air bulb to be
squeezed. The road was lined with market
many of the drivers were sleeping in their
wagons while the horses slowly walked along.
This young man created sensation. He was
used to riding on the automobile, and knew
lust how to ''toot'' that alarm in a manner to
cause the drivers and horses to conclude one
was approaching. Every time the car neared
a vehicle the "toottoot" sounded. In each in
stance there was quick rising up and hurried
gathering of the reins and the vehicle was
side-tracked as far as possible for the "auto
that never came"
Some drivers jumped out and held their ami
mails by the bits. In one case woman and
two children bled out, greatly alarmed,
and as the car passed the woman seemed to be
upbraiding the children for giving false alarm.
A German who stopped at the blacksmith shop
at Parkville was heard to say dose odder-
mobubbles vas shame whad id is yet, to gone
SO fasd vot you don'd see 'em. / heerd i'd
'dood-dood' py der roadt pelow down, and
shumped ridt oudt, bud id vent by so quicker
as wink. ] didn't even saw it. Id vas out
RACES yet"
The affair is still mystery to many drivers,
as the trick was not even suspected. 1t is
needless to add that the passengers on the car
greatly enjoyed the scenes. The young man
declared it was almost as good as taking spin
on a real auto, the "get-out- of-the-way" effect
being the same, though, of course, the close
shaves and rundown features were lacking
