Easement Windows.

The easement window is worthy Of
more general adoption here, especially
for country houses. Many advantages
may be claimed for It over the usual
narrow pulley weight window-for
instance, the larger amount Of light
and air admitted. the greater ease In
cleaning and painting and also the i'm
provement in the room made by franz
ing the outside world into living pie
lures for It's walls. When the windows
are large they give to the room the

had given back his ring and he had
gone of In dudgeon. leaving her with
the afternoon on her hands, They had
planned to skate 10 Rlverdale, Ave
miles up the river: have supper there
and skate back by moonlight. Now II
was all spoiled and she must skate
alone.
She was fond OF the Ice. and the
swift molten and tho bracIng air soon
put her In moro pleasant frame or
mind. Perhaps she had been hasty In
giving back the ring. but theniit Is not
every day that one 10 elected the presi-
dent OF the literary club, and he might
at least have congratulated her upon
her victory over Nettic Doran.
She had been so enRrossed with her
thoughts that Il was with surprise that
she found she had entered the "cut,"
more than two miles from the landing.
Here tho river ran between steep bluffs
for quarters OF n mile. and shc
shuddercd little as she glanced at the
cliffs on either side. She never had
noticed II before, but now they seemed
30 black and forbldding.
She was still glanclng up as her skate
struck bit OF wood frozen into the
Ice. and with cry she sank to the
CLASSY surface. She struggled to her
feet, but with another little moan she
sank to one knee; she had spralned her
left ankle.
Several times she essayed to rise, but
each time her ankle hurt her more, and
finally she deslsted and crept on hands
and knees to the bank. Perhaps some
Of the others would take 1t into their
heads 10 skate up and they would give
her help. II no one came she would
try TO creep back after she had rested.
But after an hour she gave up hope
of help coming She was so numb she
could scarcely move. She began to cry
softly. II she could not get to the
lower end of'the cut, where she might
attract attention OF some one on shore,
she might freeze to death.
With Infinite labor she crawled few
feet, but she had to give up and sit
down again. Perhaps they might miss
her at the landing and remember that
she had gone UP the river. They would
send out searching party for her. II
might be an hour or more before she
could hope for help, but the idea
brought her some comfort, though 1t
did not check the flow Of tears.
Then her quick ear caught the vel
come sound OF the ring Of steel on the
hard ice and she tried to struggle to
her feet.
Around the bend above Tom Runyon
came with powerful strokes, He was
looking straight ahead, and " the dusk

Damaged By A Schooner.

Great damage was done Friday to the
drawbridge which spans the Nanticoke
river at Vienna. While the schooner
Judge Pennewil was passing up the
Nanticoke river she colided with the
bridge of the Baltimore. Chesapeake a
Atlantic Railway and carried away the
draw. Trains on that road are compell-
ed to run by way of Hurlock and Sea
ford, over the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks, to reach Salisbury and points
East
This is the second serious accident
that has happened to the drawbridge at
Vienna. Some time ago the draw was
struck by the schooner Sallie G. Marvil
and similarly carried away. the railroad
being blocked for nearly two weeks. 1t
is claimed by navigators that the draw
is too narrow and is so placed that the
current runs diagonally II is probable
that the Government will be asked ia
erect jetty to change the current The
railroad company will also be requested
To widen the draw.

Officials To Ride Free.

Two Of the biggest bombs which have
been exploded against the railroads in
the present session Of the Legislature
were thrown on Wednesday,
one was in the shape Of bill intro
duced in the house by Delegate Brown
Of Somerset No one seems sure rs To
just how far-rcaching the bill may be-
and the quictness with which il was got
ten up and introduced caused some delay
in the realization of just what il meant
While II applies to all the railroads in
the state. yet the b. 4 O. is the hardest
hit
The most drastic feature is a provis-
ion calling on all the railroads. as well
rs the steamboat companies. To carry
all public officials. their secretaries or
their entire operative staff anywhere in
the state limits. at any time of the
year. entirely free of charge.
This provision is not to be effective
till after the present session is over.
Equally radical We're two out of three
bills introduced in the senate by Senator
Shannon. The first was the one apper-
tanning to the railroad taxation.
If this is passed it will not only kill
the exemption of all the railroad pro-
perty held directly by the railroads, but
will also include the sub-companies,
such as the Belt line and its ilk.
This bill. too. was aimed at all the
railroads. but hits the b. & 0. the
hardest
The second bill is against the alleged
diferentia of the b. & 0. against Cum
berland. 1t is claimed that this railroad
charges IL cents more to haul coal from
Cumberland than from the Somerset re-
gion. despite that the latter is something
over 100 miles further west than the
former.
