About l1.3O O'Clock Thursday night
the large round house and carshOps of
the Pennsylvania railroad ut George
town. Del. were destroyed by fire. AT the
time the fire started two locomotives
were in the shops and large box car
loaded with pine wood stood just in
front of the building. The locomotives
were saved, but the car and wood were
destroyed. The loss. which is estima-

Captain Christopher c. Ludlum and
crew caught two hundred barrels of
large sea trout in his pound at Ocean
City on Monday. 1t was sight to wit
ness the bringingIin to shore of boat load
after~boat load of fine fish; and the
profit obtained. from the catch was most
satisfying to the>iishermen. Two hun
dred barrels of trout, two hundred
pounds to the barrel. at five cents a
pound, means $4,000. 90. This is the first
large catch made this season. We un-
derstand that the sturgeon fishermen
have not yet had much success.
What is a cold in the head? Nothing
to worry about if you treat it with Ely 3
Cream Balm as soon you begin to sneeze
and shuttle. Neglected, the cOld may
grow into catarrh. and the r-passages
be so inilamed that you have to fight
for every breath 1t is true that Ely
Cream Balm cures catarrh, promptly and
certainly. But you know the old saw
about the ounce of prevention. There
fore use Cream Balm when the cold in
the head shows itself. All druggist.
