Dor, who has the reputation of never having
told lie, declares it to be fact. He says he
was walking along small stream the other
day when he witnessed most extraordinary
battle. His attention was attracted by seeing
a commotion in bunch of grass. Upon in
vestigation he saw a snake have frog by the
leg and the frog, to even up matters, caught
the snake by the tail. Then they commenced
swallowing each other until nothing could be
seen of either of them. BEAT THAT.

Facilities of the Maryland and Pennsyl-
vanta to be 1mproved-Perhaps Changed
to Electric Power.-The Maryland and
Pennsylvania Railroad is arranging to make
direct connection with the Baltimare and Ohio
Railroad at convenient point ABOVE North
avenue so that its cars may run directly into
Camden Station over the Baltimore and Ohio's
Belt Line tracks, says the Baltimore San.
This action may, it isthought, indicate more
than appears on the surface. Some OF the
Maryland and Pennsylvania directors admit
that such project is in view, but deny that it
has important significance.
Thetrackage privilege was given to the Mary
land and Pennsylvania Railroad when the
Belt Line charter was granted by the Legisla-
ture about eighteen years ago. 1t has never
been used, because the terminal at North ave-
nue. and Oak street was sufficient.
Work has been begun on a new terminal
station on the Falls road. Ground has been
secured and tentative plans prepared for new
passenger station on North avenue, just east OF
the present station.
1t was suggested that the Baltimore and Ohio
connection might be intended only for an
interchange of freight traffic. The Maryland
and Pennsylvania which extends from Baltl-
more to York, has developed large trucking
trade and business in general farm products.
The Baltimore and Ohio has already an
nounced its purpose of providing large yard
for the handling of just such produce in the
vicinity of Camden Station. The ground for
this has been obtained between Camden and
Barre streets. 1t was pointed out that it might
be desirable for the products of the farms and
the diaries along the Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania to reach this downtown point with the
least possible delay.
The possibility of the early equipping of the
Maryland and Pennsylvania with electricity.
as motive power is another factor. Experts
are at work estimating on the cost of the
change and the economies to result from 1t.
1t was stated that these estimates would prob
ably not extend beyond Belair at present,
though later the whole road might be oper-
ated by electricity. 1t is thought the reserva-
ton referred to the further development of the
Susquehanna power situation. When the
river. made current is ready for use it could
easily serve the whole Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania road.
If the road should be electrified from Belair
to Baltimore and connection with the Belt
line tracks made trains could be carried to
Camden Station by electric power, which is

Mr.. Taylor Trouble at Pimlico.-The Bal
timore News says: 1.-THE running of the steeple-
chase for maiden hunters yesterday kicked up
pretty muss and resulted in the suspension
of Bobby Taylor by the stewards for his ride
on Tarpon. At the start of the race Tarpon
was rank and full of running. Mr.. Taylor
tried to place him and pulled him in behind
Guardian, the pacemaker. To keep him there
Bobby had to pull and yank him, at times
bracing back in the stirrups and pulling for
dear life. That was not very edifying spec
tacle for the public which had its money on
Tarpon. However everybody kept saying:
