FRESH AIR BOY DROWNED.

Harry Seeland, aged 6 years, fresh
air boy at Camp Endeavor, was drowned
on Friday morning while in bathing
with about 100 of his companions.
According to the statement of the Off
cial in charge, |. d. Puinton, the boys
are taken every day to the Ten Foot
Hole" for bathing. On the morning OF
the accident, the usual programme was
carried out. A few minutes after the
boys got into the water, it was discov-
cred that one of the number was missing.
The water was very muddy, and several
minutes elapsed before the boys body
was found. 1t was discovered lying fiat
on the bottom and life was extinct. DR..
A. F. VanBibber was Immediately sum-
moned, but could do nothing. The little
follow could not swim, and the place
where the children are taken in was not
over three feet deep. 1t is supposed that
he waded out beyond his depth and be-
came frightened, which induced heart
failure, as the doctor said his death was
due to shock
States Attorney Sitter and Justice
Norris investigated the drowning and
decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary. This is the first accident that has
ever happened at this place, although
thousands of children have been brought
out there since its establishment some
years ago. 1t is kept up entirely by con-
tributions from Baltimore people, and a
large number of poor children are given
an annual outing free of all cost to their
parents

REPORT OF STATE ROAD ENGINEER.

Highway Engineer Walter W. Crosby
has issued report on state highway
construction, givingi in detail the amount
of money spent in each county for I'M
proved highways. The report contains
a number of "before and after" photo
graphs of roads that have been improved
under the state law, which appropriates
100000 each year, to be distributed
among the counties in proportion to
their road mileage. The roads in Har-
ford county mentioned in the report are
Church vile, carlton, Fallston and For
est HILL
The first improvement mentioned, the
Churchville road, was for 80 miles and
was estimated to cost $1O,069 CO. The
work was stopped with 3 miles finished
at this cost. The grade was reduced
from 40 per cent. to 2.15 per cent. The
report states that all of the accounts for
this road are not yet in and the office has
not yet the figures of cost AS this was
put in type last January, the report has
undoubtedly since been furnished to the
road engineer.
The carlton road, IS miles, cost more
than the $7,S2S.5t estimated by the
road engineer. Engineer Crosby claims
that this increase was due to the cost of
crushed stone.
The Fallston road was estimated to
cost $13, 042 81. This road had not
been finished at the time the report was
made up, but one mile had been built at
the cost of $7,49O.32. Engineer Crosby
claims that the excess in this road also
comes from the increase in cost of stone
The Forest Hill road was estimated to
cost $4,616 90, when in point of fact it
cost 1885 20. The road department
attempts to explain away the differences
in the same manner as the ones above
alluded to.
