CATHOLIC SEMINARY FOR CECIL
Oblate Fathers Purchase Site
Near ChildS.

Representatives of the Oblate
Fathers of st. Francis de Sales, in
corporated under the laws of Della.
ware, have purchased of Edward
Taylor, of Elkton, the Dunott farm
near Childs, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, for $4,000.
The farm contains about 21O acres
and is situated on a hill. 1t will
be crowned with large and sub
stantial buildings devoted to relig
ious instruction and the training of
Catholic missionaries for the foreign
field. The first building, the con
strpction of which will be commen-
ced In the spring, will be of brick
or concrete, three stories, and will
include chapel, living room, dining
room, dormitories and other nec-
essary quarters, large enough to
accommodate about 40 students
and instructors.
The course of instruction will
require II years and will embrace
the classics, modern languages,
philosophy and theology. The
instructor in the classics will come
from the house of the order in
Lonuon and the instructor in
philosophy will come from Rome.
Students from all parts of the
country will enter the seminary.
The project is the outcome of the
efforts of Rev. Peter p. Arnd, pas
tor of the Church of Immaculate
Conception, Elkton.
The site will be known as
College Hill. The purchase Of
the property will likely lead to the
abandonment of Hog Hill, near
North East, where it was at first
proposed to build the seminary.

NORTH EAST BANK ROBBED.
Entered By Gang OF Burglars Who
Blow Open Vault 4SllverWare
Stolen.

A gang of burglars made a raid
on the National Bank of North
East early Saturday morning but
tailed to get much plunder. The
building was entered through q
window, tools having been obtained
from the tool house at the railroad
station. The vault door was blown
open and the top tier of twenty
five metal safe deposit boxes
blown off and carried away. Ar
attempt was made to drill the door
of the safe in the vault, which con-
tanned about $4,000, but the burg
lars were frightened away before
succeeding in their purpose. The
report of the explosion was heard
by Cheney Housekeeper, night
operator in a railroad signal tower,
who had just reached his home near
the bank, and he promptly gave the
alarm. The thieves made their
escape, taking with them satchel
containing quantity Of silverware
belonging to Mrs. R. E. lamar, of
Turkey Point, which had been
placed in the vault for safe keeping
The safe deposit boxes, with their
contents, consisting of papers of
more or less value, were found later
near the High School building.
The railroad station was ran
sacked also by the burglars, but
nothing of value was secured.
Six strangers were noticed about
the town Friday evening and are
supposed to be the parties who
committed the robbery. Word was
telephoned to Elkton Saturday that
strangers had been seen on the
Mcconnell place, near North East,
and Sheriff Kirk with an armed
posse went in search of them, but
without success.

MAY Build New Bridge.

1t is reported the question of
building new bridge across the
Susquehapna river is being serious
ly considered by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The matter has
been under consideration for more
than a year past, and it is now said
that the Company may soon take
steps looking to the replacing OF
the present structure with a bridge
similar to that built by the Penn
sylvania Railroad from Havre de
Grace to Perryville. The bridge
now used by the Baltimore and
Ohio in crossing from Hartford to
Cecil counties is being strength
ened at the present time.

Wilmington Threatened With MILK
Famine.

FAMINE.
Because of friction between some
local milk dealers and producers,
some of the latter have arranged
to ship their milk to Philadelphia,
says the Wilm. Every Evening.
The latest move on the part OF
the farmers is the establishment at
Harmony Station on the BIS o.
railroad, of a milk plant which
will receive milk from the farmers
and then ship it free of freight to
Philadelphia. A Philadelphian is
at the head of this new project,
and he is contemplating the advis.
ability of setting up another such
plant at Delaware City and also at
Elkton, Md. The Harmony plant
will have a capacity of 5000 gal
Ions. A cold storage plant will be
installed, in which milk will be
stored one day and shipped the
next.
This concern will pay four and
one half cents quart for 4 per
cent milk, and four and three-quar-
ter cents for 4.5O per cent milk.
If the farmers patronize the plant
as they say they will, the milk
supply of Wilmington will be great
ly diminished. Ifthe Delaware City
plant is started Wilmington may
suffer a milk famine. The farm
ers declare they will not sell milk
in Wilmington when they can get
better prices for it in Philadelphia.

LOSS BY FIRE
Barns Burned Near Rising Sun and
Elkton-Cannery Destroyed.
LIVESTOCK pERIsHEs in FLAMES

William j. Kearney, residing
about one and a. half miles west of
town, was aroused about six
O'Clock Sunday morning by COM
motion among his live stock, and
glancing out the window discov-
cred his barn was on fire. Hastily
dressing he rushed to the building
to save what he could of his prop
erty, but on opening the stable
door was confronted by seething
mass of flames, the entire interior
being ablaze. The horses, which
had broken loose, were huddled in
one end of the stable, as if for pro-
lection, and fell overcome by the
flames almost simultaneously with
the opening of the door. One horse,
which had been blanketed and tied
under the shed the night before,
was rescued, and one COW, which
managed to break out in some man
ner, although badly burned about
the head and back and blinded in
one eye, escaped the flames. All
the other i've stock in the build
ing, including five horses, four cows,
three heifers and one steer perished.
The hogs in a pen close by were
saved by tearing down the pen and
liberating the animals.
The wagon shed and corn crib,
with contents, located within a few
feet of the burning building, were
saved by fortunate shift of the
wind and through the efforts of
neighbors who had been attracted
to the scene, by dashing water over
the roof and sides, the building
catching fire two or three times
but the flames being extinguished
each time. Besides the live stock
Mr.. Kearney loses virtually his
entire seasons crops, there being
stored in the burned building about
20 tons of hay, all his fodder which
had just been put in the day before,
several tons of hungarian, wheat
and oats straw, wheat drill, 3
horse cultivator, hay wagon, buggy,
new sleigh, all harness, embracing
several sets work and driving, cir
cular saw, plows, etc. The vehicles
in the wagon shed were saved, as
were the corn and wheat, being
stored elsewhere.
The loss, amounting to about
50, 500, falls heavily upon Mr..
Kearney, almost his entire means
of livelihood being swept away.
There was ali insurance of 800 on
the building and $3.50 on the con-
tents. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, which probably never
will be solved. The close proximity
of the building to the road leads
some to the belief that it may have
resulted through the carelessness
of tramps who frequently slept in
the barn.
