was found floating in the river at
Port Deposit one day last week,

Water Fowl Diminishing.

The report on the distribution
and migration of North American
ducks, geese and swans, issued by
the Department of Agriculture,
says water fowl, formerly abundant
over the whole of the United States,
aresteadily diminishing in numbers
and some speciesappear to bethreat-
ened with extinction in the non
distant future. Their value for
food is great, and they have formed
in the past, and for all future time
should continue to form, valuable
asset and an important source OF
revenue to the several States which
harbor them. The preservation OF
the numerous species of ducks,
geese and swans is becoming an i'm
portant matter OF legislative enact
ment, and the present report is in
tended to furnish information as to
present range, abundance and mi
grafton of the several species with
reference to practical legislation.

Elkton Jail Prisoners Attempt
Escape.
$272,242.

An unsuccessful attempt at Jail
delivery was made at Elkton
Saturday afternoon by several
prisoners under sentence to the
penitentiary. Sheriff Kirk had oc-
casion to 50 into the jailyard, and
there found several prisoners max
ing a rope out of bed clothing which
they had carried from their cells
into the yard. The rope consisted
of strips of bedding, to the end of
which was attached heavy stone,
the intention being to throw the
stone over the wall and work it
along the top until it settled into
one of the seams between the cop
ing. This once accomplished, it
would have been a comparatively
easy matter for the prisoners to
scale the wall, as the rope was found
to be of sufficient strength to bear
the weight of two men. This is the
second attempt made to escape from
the Elkton Jail within the last
month,

Oxford Fair.

The threatening weather of
Thursday interfered with the at
tendance at Oxford Fair on that
day, but Fridays crowd was a
record breaker, being estimated at
10000 to 10000. The racing,
which is always the principal fea-
ture of the exhibitions, furnished
plenty of excitement, there being
two or three accidents and the
events being hotly contested. Cecil
county had a number of entries,
including horses from Sylmar,
Pennington, Cecilton, North East
and Rising Sun.
AS is usually the case in large
crowds at these exhibitions, pick
pockets piled their light. fingered
trade, and numerous losses of
money and valuables are reported.
A number of fake shows and
swindles were on the grounds to
catch the unwary. Allie Hall, of
Pennington, dropped a good sized
roll of money in an attempt to beat
one of these one.sided games, and
after going broke proceeded to
break the face of the proprietor of
the layout by way of retaliation.
This latter diversion while giving
Hall good deal of satisfaction,
caused his arrest and cost him an
additional sum for fine, but prov
ed the means of stopping the game,
as the crowd threatened to mob the
fakir and he beat a hasty retreat.
The usual number of drunks
were in evidence about the grounds
and on the streets of the town, and
the special officers had plenty of
work cut out for them slowing the
unruly ones away. But the Fair
as whole will go down in the his
tory of the society as a successful
one, financially, at least.

Short Tomato Pack,

A large Gamer who has made a
trip of inspection and careful study
of the situation, reports the tomato
pack as whole short one for the
season. Hartford county had an
exceptionally large acreage and
will pack a little more than normal.
Baltimore city will pack about the
same as last year. Other places,
however, will fall far short of
normal pack. Delaware will have
a rs per cent pack; New Jersey is
away off, while Virginia will have
only 30 per cent pack. Mary
land, Delaware, New Jersey and
Virginia supply three. .fourths of
the total pack of the country, so
failure here means the practical
failure of the crop everywhere.
The West reports a short pack,
and everything heard confirms re-
ports of an unusually short pack.
