p, B. & w. Water Supply.

According to newspaper report
the Pennsylvania railroad company
contemplates supplying water to
its entire line between Wilmington
and the Susquehanna River, and
probably as far north as Chester,
from Bufort Lake, at Christiana,
Del, from which large main is
now being laid to the company's
right of way, near Newark.
The proposed new reservoir, at
Shellpot Pask, near Wilmington,
which is now being built for the
company will receive it's suppl y
from this source, as will also
the Maryland division within the
limits stated. The company has
various water stations along the
road from which the engines are
fed, but it is believed to be the
intention to do away with all of
them where it is necessary for the
engines to stop to take water. The
Bufort Lake source, with the
Shellpot reservoir, will enable the
company to supply all the water
required for the locomotives and
stations on the division.

Court OF Appeals Cases.

The Court of Appeals last week
decided two cases of interest to
parties in Cecil county. One was
that of the Standard Oil Company
VS.. Mrs. Nancy Hartman, of Elk
ton, who brought suit for 50, 500
damages for personal injuries re
ceived by being thrown from her

The suit was brought in the Cecil
County Circuit Court and removed
to Centerville. The jury in the
case rendered verdict for full
amount of claim. The case was
carried to the Court of Appeals,
which affirmed the judgment of the
lower court, with costs.
The Court also rendered decision
in the cases of the Jacob Tome
Institute against Emory 9. Shipley,
trustee, and others, and Harry v.
Shipley and Ella M. Duncan against
Emory @. Shipley, trustee, and
others (two appeals). These
cases came to the Court of Appeals
from the Circuit Court of Cecil
County, and the order of the lower
body is affirmed, with costs to the
appellee. The main question pre-.
sented for decision is upon the
construction of deed of trust
made by the late Charlotte M.
Shipley to Emory @. Shipley. In
its option, the Court decided that
certain charges on account of adj
vance made against the portion
which Howard B. Shipley received
under the deed were liens on his
equitable life estate only and that
it was not the intention Of the crea-
tor of the said deed of trust to have
them charged against the remain
der, over to his heirs.

OLYMPIC GAMES

With the announcement that the
worlds Olympic championships. which
are TO be held at Athens. are to devote
expenses amounting to the sum OF ST.
300 TO insure the presence Of American
representatives, track athletes far anu
near have resumed their training in
strenuous fashion, striving to be-
among the representatives of tho
Stars and Stripes, which are to be sc.
lected by a special American Commit
tee.
As In the days of the ancient con.
tests no greater laurels can be won by
an athlete than those at the Olympic
games. so II should be today. With
the many promising champions which
we have at present we may look To
America unfolding the prestige on for
eign shores.
The so.called Olympic games OF 1904
were not really worlds championship
series at all for the best part of tho
worlds famous athletes were not pres
ent. In track and field events, at least.
10 was practically an American cham.
pionship event Thus there was every
reason why American athletes should
have secured practically all the world
championship titles, since they were
not compelled to fight for them.
