THE B. & O. RAILROAD BRIDGE.
The Eureka Fertilizer Company
Objects To Its Construction.

The Eureka Fertilizer Company
objects to the construction of the
B. & o. railroad bridge across the
Susquehanna river at Frenchtown,
according to the plans as at present
drawn, and may take legal steps
to enjoin the railroad.
VIM. FL. Surratt, of Baltimore,
legal counsel for the fertilizer com.
pany, has placed before the War
Department, the objections to the
bridge.
The plant of the fertilizer COM
pany is located Immediately south
of the eastern end of, the present
bridge, where it has constructed
wharves and piers, and has a depth
of water of Is feet at them.
The normal depth of the present
channel in the Susquehanna River
at or about the point in question
is II to Ia feet, and to this should
be added the variation of high and
low tide, which occur every "a
hours, and make a difference of
about two feet. The government
has expended large sums of money
in dredging a channel atthis point,
and a great portion of this work
has been done north of the proposed
location of the Baltimore & Ohio
bridge.
The present plan of the railroad
company contemplates a bridge
which will be two feet lower in the
channel spans than the present
bridge. The detour around the
head of Garrett Island is made
necessary by the fact that the lower
end of Garrett Island reaches to
the present Pennsylvania bridge,
and there is scarcely more than a
foot of water over these bars,
making the Cecil county channel
inaccessible after passing through
the Pennsylvania drawbridge on
the Hartford side of the river.

BURGLAR KNOCKS DOWN GIRL.
Miss Brown Knocked SenseIess By
Burglar Who Robs Her Home.

Burglar Who Robs Her Home.
While Miss Virginia Brown, the
16-year- old daughter of Mr.. Thomas
Brown, was alone at her home,
near Havre de Grace, about 6
o'clock Monday evening, an un-
known white man, about 25 years
old, came to the house, asked for
something to eat, and inquired if
her father was at home. On being
told that her father was away, the
man drew revolver and threatened
to shoot Miss Brown if she made an
outcry. He procured rope and
securely bound her, while he ran
sacked the house. The girl was so
badly frightened that she screamed,
and the robher struck her heavy
blow in the face, which silenced
her. When she regained conscious
ness she heard the man upstairs,
and managed to free herself. In
her effort to get away from the
house she fell unconscious in the
yard, where her father, returning
soon after, found her in serious
condition from fright.
The mans sole purpose seems to
have been robbery, as he made no
effort to harm the girl other than
silencing her while he robbed the
house. He secured about $15 from
a desk, which he unlocked with
skeleton keys. The man made his
escape from the house, and soon
afterwards the police and several
citizens of Havre de Grace were
searching for him. Late that night
man answering the deacrip-
tion given by Miss Brown was
arrested in an uptown saloon, but
when taken before her she could
not identify him, and he was
released.
