FOR new SUMMER RESORT.
Fenwick's Island Bought By A Corpora.
ton. Will Have Railroad Connection,
And Will Be Developed Has A Fine
Beach

Closely associated with the move
ment to build mono-rail electric line
from Baltimore to Ocean City is u plan
to develop Fenwick Island, and make it
summerresort. 1t is proposed to build
the railroad through Fenwick Island and
south to Ocean City, eight miles away.
A corporation under the name of the
Fenwick Island Land Company has been
organized, and has already acquired
about 2300 acres of the 5000 acres of land
in the island, and is now about 10 close
negotiations for the remainder. The
offices of the Company are in Baltimore
and Wilmington. Del, and Pennsylvania
and Delaware capitalists are said to be
largely interested in the enterprise.
Fenwick Island is partly in Maryland
and partly in Delaware. A great part
of the Island is heavily wooded, and there
are some fine farming lands. The island
is the site of the Fenwick Island camp
meeting. The camp-meeting has been
held there for years, but attendance has
not been large, owing to the fact that
the island is without railroad connection
with the outside world
Two hotels are planned for the island
and it is said that they will be erected
without delay The plans of promoters
call for the completion of the mono rail
line betweeen Ocean City and Fenwick
Island by July of this year, and rs the
country is very level and there are few
natural obstacles to be overcome, it
should be possible to complete the work
in that time. Every mile of the road
has been mapped out from Baltimore to
Ocean City and Fenwick Island, and shc
Railroad Company expects to secure
most of the right of way without
cost. Eastern Shore people are inter
ested in the Railroad Company to
some extent. and are assisting il because
it will give them needed transportation
facilities.
At a meeting of the ncorporators of
the Baltimore and Ocean City Railroad
Company. Senator Joss ph Il. Seth of
Talbot county was elected president.
II is not General Seth first experience

tee is composed of Messrs. Henry w.
Williams. Olin Bryan, II. c. Turnbull,
Jr., and George +. Taylor.
Under the charter of the Railroad
Company the capital stock is placed at
800, 900. but this can be increased at any
time. The capital stock of the Ameri-
can Mono-rail Company, which controls
the Baltimore and Ocean City Railroad
Company, is $25, 600, 900, but it is under
stood that very little of it has been
issued.

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.
Did you ever notice how coolly some
folks have treated you in times past
and how you have wondered and
thought what You had done to them
and for the life of you you couldn't
remembeF a single thing and then came
to the conclusion that somebody told
them'a lie ON you
No one had told them single thing
but they were the wrong doers They
it was that had said a wrong thing of
You and they knew they had lied on
you and they couldn't look you in the
face. They were uneasy for fear you
had heard it and would bring them to
time.
I've known just such vermin-had
some experience with just such cattle
just such sinking skunks. and | new
er bother myself about them. When a
person treats me coolly l know the
cause and / know they are the cul-
prits. When man tells me anything
another has said about me, don't
treat them coldly over IT and the first
opportunity get | tell them what
was told on them to me- But a person
telling a lie on another can't face the

to hold their tongues while others
made an ass of themselves. When a
person treats you coolly, know of a
truth they have wronged you or tried
to in some way. It's nothing they

TOO MUCH FUNNY BUSINESS
Kentucky Mountaineer Says Bride
Had Been Duly Kissed in
Advance,

Success Magazine.
A well known Kentuckian tells of a
marriage ceremony that a justice of
the peace in the blue grass state was
hurriedly called upon one day 70 per-
form.
1t appears that the bridegroom,
big mountaineer, roughly dressed, had
brought his prospective bride with
him to the Office Of the clerk of the
court, thinking to secure his licence
and have the ceremony performed at
one visit. When his license had been
duly granted the mountaineer asked if
there was justice of the peace there in
the court. house who could tie the knot.
Upon being advised by the clerk that
he himself was justice of the peace
and that he was willing to join the
two lovers, the bridegroom said:
'Waal, then, we're ready go ahead -
but you'll have to secure two wit
nesses, smilingly observed the clerk
and Justice, 'before l can proceed. .
] At this the mountaineer demured,
saying that he did not care for witnes-
ses Nevertheless he was convinced in
moment that this formality was an
indispensable one, and accordingly the
necessary witnesses were procured and
the ceremony began. When the couple
had promised to love, obey, etc, to-
gether with the rest of the service, the
justice Of the peace quite innocently
observed that the bridegroom should
kiss the bride.
Thereupon the mountaineer exhibit

claimed angrily. ''it seems to me thai

BRIDGE SAID
TO Be CERTAIN.
Interested Parties to Hold a
Meeting SoOn-Capital From
East Concerned in Enterprise
Great Developments
Will Follow.

1t is now said to be assured beyond
doubt that the bridge across the Ten.
nessee will be started within the next
few months, or at least before the end
of the year.
1t was learned yesterday that meet
ing of all the owners of large proper
ties on the other side of the river will
probably be held in this city about the
end of this or the first part of next
month, the specific purpose of which is
to make the necessary arrangements
for the construction of the bridge. A
company for that purpose has already
been chartered.
Within the last sixty days several
large deals have been made in coal and
timber land on the north side of the
river, one transfer being in the neigh
borhood of 1S, 900 acres, while it is said
that another capitalist has invested in
the neighborhood of 81, 900, 900 in coal
and timber lands about eighteen or
twenty miles from Chattanooga.
1t is also stated by parties who claim
to know that party of New York
capitalists have acquired the holdings
of one of the largest companies having
holdings in the Walden ridge section,
and that they, together with Buffalo,
N. Y, Philadelphia and Pittsburg
capitalists, are backing the proposition
to build the bridge across the river at
point about opposite the end Of West
Sixth street or further down the river
where the old Chattanooga and West
ern survey crossed G. H. Fisk, the
promoter of the ChattanoogaNa Nashville
short line, upon which electric power
will be used, and who is building the
power plant of the Great Forks Power
company at Caney Forks Falls near
MeMinnville, will also be. present at
the conference and it is understood
will make some definite proposition to
the promoters Of the bridge project
to act in conjunction with them in the
construction of his electric road.
The principal thing that has delayed
the construction of the bridge before
now is the fact that one of the largest
owners of property across the rive
was expected by the bridge promoter
to put up about $3.50, 900 of the tota
cost Of the total cost of the bridge
They agreed to put up $780, coo of thi
sum, which was not at all satisfactor,
to the bridge company, who claimed
that they should put up $3.50, 600 ow
ing to the fact that they were tn
largest holders Of the northside proper
tv Since that time several northern
and eastern capitalists have purchased
big interests ON that side of the river
and it is said that in all probabilit
an agreement will be reached at tn
meeting to be held here by which som
Of these new owners will put up tn
$50 900 that is the cause of the delay.
The present plan of those backing
the bridge and railroad project acros
the river are said to be, by a gentle
man who is familiar with the situa
tion, to construct line that will ri
almost due north from the city to tn
north side Of Walden's 5 ridge. 1t wi
