A Dangerous Nuisance.

Any broken place in pavement is
cause of stumbling and an offence to
the wayfarer, but on the way TO the
train, when one is apt to be in a
hurry, or on the way from the train,
when one is apt to be laden with bun
dies, il is particularly n nuisance. A
patient public has been now for
many weeks stumbling over the
broken places in the pavement on the
northerly side of Bladen street, as
you approach the railroad station, and
has been splashing through the mud
and water that collect in those bro
ken places whenever ii rains.
Many traveller has lost his or heI
religion in consequence of stumbles
and tumbles at that point, and still
the wonder grows and people ask
why in the name of decency and or
der does not the City Commissioner
make the property owners put that
pavement in order?" 1t certainly
ought to be done. The impression up
on stranger who lands at the Short
Line station, naturally is that all tho
pavements in Annapolis are wretched.
In point of fact, that is about the
worst piece of pavement in the city,
whereas il ought TO be the best.

EXTENDING THE LINE.
Work on The Electric Road Is Pro-
crossing Rapidly.

Work on the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis interurban line is pro-
crossing rapidly, and the steam shovel
which is cutting through the Mary
land avenue hill AT Westport has reach
ed depth of 30 feet.
1t is now working directly under
Annapolis avenue, and this thorough
fare is temporarily bridged TO take care
Of the traffic which is being diverted
over il on account of the closing of
the Annapolis road, which is also
crossed by the new line. The concrete
construction for the bridge over
Gwynns falls has been completed,
and the contractors are now filling in
the marshes between the falls and the
tracks of the Baltimore and Annapo-
lis Short Line railroad.
This portion of the work has been
the source of much delay, owing to
the settling of the temporary trestls
used by the train of dump cars, and
mig and day shift of workmen are
ken usy.

BUILT ON OYSTER SHELLS.
Town Of Crisfield Has That Kind
of Foundation.

Crisfield. Md, presents problem
for the thoughtful man, says the phil
adelphia Record. This is IL: II the
first man 10 eat an oyster was hero,
what kind of n man. or community
OF men. is ii who will build town
on oyster shellss The secondary foun-
dation .of Crisfield is the bottom OF
the Chesapeake bay, and between the
bottom Of Crisfield and the bottom of
the bay are oyster shells. TO the num-
Der of probably hundreds OF
millions.
ON this great stratum Of oyster shells
stand houses, wharves and business
places: a railroad runs on il; bridges
cross its dividing places; men walk
and talk and do business: steamboats,
and sailboats-yes. hundreds of sail
boats have their landings alongsid G
IL; merry boating parties put OIL from
the shore by moonlight and fish and
crab. and return i'm the early morn
all to this great bank of oyster shells,
sunk in the blue watet.
Crisiield lives by oysters and crabs
not by eating them. for Crisfelders
rarely ever eat either. but by catching
them. boiling them, packing them.
shipping them. selling them. He who
wonld know the crab can best learn
ii bv visiting this wholly and solely
crab town on the Chesapeake. Men
in boats quickly nh barrels with
crabs and bring them ashore 10 the
factories. z" Here they are counted,
sorted, steamed. packed in barre Is and
shipped. until one wonders who can
possibly eat all of these mountains
and myriads of crabs. There are many
! neople in this country. a crab apiece
Io4 lavn AL, on Is Ne9r - the sea
son, would mean some claps. -
least so one of the crab dealers put il.
Crisfield has, however, still another
aspect in which oysters and crabs
play less part. Further up on The
mainland is a town, built like other
| towns and filled with houses and stores
and the usual things that prevail IN
small cities. The Odd Fellows Hall
is large and imposing structure on
| the main street. Home and business
places are as neat and commodious as
| elsewhere ON the Eastern Shore, though
| the fact that the railroad runs through
the spine of the town somewhat affects
| the district Immediately adjoining it
i At the further end of the town is the
large wharf at which the steamers ply
| ing TO and from Baltimore have thei
landing, and here is the evidence o
another business which helps max
| Crisfield prosperous-the fruit trade
| represented in the season by tremen
| dous shipments of berries, peaches
| pears, plums, watermelons and al
the products of fruit country of un
excelled fertility.

FIFTY, FIFTY"
GAME
Carl Nimloo Arrives in Grand Forks
From Fargo Where Yesterday He
Was Fleeced Out Of $50 by Two Men
Who We're .Fat and Slim,

Carl Nimloo of 216 Corn Exchange,
Minneapolis, an arrival in the city last

the victim of the fifty fifty" game, in
augurated by Weber & Fields, the
famed comedians several years ago,
Friday afternoon at Fargo, shortly be-
fore the Great Northern flyer pulled
out for this city.
NimlOO entered into conversation
with two strangers. one IL slim and
one fat man, and after considerable
parley, in which it was discovered that
all three were headed for Grand Forks,
one of the strangers remarked that he
had arranged for shipment of gro
ceries to this city, upon which he had
to pay freight amounting to about $50.
He pulled 500 check from his pocket
and asked his companion if he could
cash 1t and receiving a negative an
swer turned to Nimloo. Never sus-
pectinS anything wrong and upon the
strength Of the suggestion that he
might keep the 500 check for security
until arrival in this city, Nimloo pro-
ceeded to fork over $50 to cover the
freight on the car
The three men waited round the de-
pot for another minute and then the
small man remarked that he guessed
he and his friend better go and check
over the car and get their receipt"
Nimloo was asked to keep track of
grip one of them had until their re-
turn.
A minute later when an altogether
different party stepped up and took
away the grip Nimloo "tumbled" that
something was wrong and notified a
policeman. A description of the men
was furnished, but up till today they
had not been captured and probably
never will. Nimloo has neatly writ
ten souvenir, however, to remind him
of his experience. The check was a
worthless one.

the end and the hearing will be extend

AS Larron's operations extended over

Meantime the corridors of the feder-
al building are filled with officers of
the law, witnesses and attorneys in
the case and present rather a lively
appearance.
Although the matter is being kept
rather quiet. it is stated on authority
that if the Canadian authorities once
get possession of Larrop. instead OF
holding him on the horse stealing
charge, he will be held to answer to
the crime of murder. it being alleged
that he is the man who killed a farmer
by the name of Burns in Manitoba in
the fall of 1901.
