Heavy Snowfall.

Sundays snow storm brought up
memories of the big blizzard of 1885
when traffic was blocked and bus
iness almost paralyzed throughout
the East Tor several days. Snow
began falling early in the morning
and continued furiously all day
and late in the evening. For
tunately the wind was not very
high during the day, and the
snow did not drift. By Monday
morning a heavy blanket of snow,
measuring about nine inches in
depth, covered the ground, and
sleighs were out in force. Old Sol
began to make his power felt as
the day wore on, and softened
things up, travel since then having
been of a decidedly sloppy nature.

Speakeasy Remedy.

The Grand Jury concluded its
session on Wednesday after eight
full days of Investigations of alleged
violations of the law. A furor was
created in Elkton from the large
number of witnesses which was
summoned to appear before them
TO be examined regarding violations
of the local option and gambling
laws and a spirit of relief was
manifested by certain class when
it was announced that they had
adjourned. The sentiment among
the better element is that the town
has been greatly benefited by the
upheaval occasioned by the search
ing investigations and it is hoped
that a future Grand Jury may be
given the same facilities to look
into matters at Port Deposit and
other points in the county. IF the
citizens will interest themselves
enough to procure evidence Of
liquor selling, gambling or other
violations of the law and bping it
before the Grand Jury, all rumor
ed disregard of the laws will be
sifted and if found to be facts the
culprits will be brought to the bar
of Justice where there is less
''ambrosia" but plenty of "bitters"
awaiting them.

KILLED BY JUMPING FROM TRAIN.
TWO Freight Car Thieves Meet
Death At Perryvllle.

After robbing a freight car and
while attempting to escape with
their plunder, two young white
men, one about % years old and
the other about %, jumped from
extra northbound freight 5133, on
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington railroad, near Perry
vile, Cecil county, late Tuesday
night, and were instantly killed.
Their bodies were discovered by
railroad men, and near them lay
their plunder, which included
fvedozen umbrellas. From papers
found on one of the young men it
would appear that he is Charles II.
Spencer, of Hartford, Conn. 1t is
shown from the papers that he was
at one time in the service of the
United States Navy, served aboard
the Franklin and left the navy
January, 1906.
The other young man had moth
ing upon him by which he could be
identified other than a flag and
anchor and the initials E. F., which
were tattooed upon his aim.
The young men are supposed to
have boarded the freight at Bay
View and when they found the
train was not going to stop at
Perryville, jumped from the car
with their plunder, being either
killed by the northhound freight
or by southbound train that
passed at the time.

Appeal TO Duckers.

State Game Warden Dennis
makes an appeal to duckers in
which he urges that, "Although it
is legal to shoot ducks between
March 10th and April 10, they
refrain from doing so, as the time
between the two dates IS the mat
ing season for the birds and it is
then that they begin to migrate,
so if killed after March 10th, as
great numbers are every year, it
reduces by thousands the nun
her of birds that would otherwise
be here next winter. If shooting
is stopped before the mating
season it will be of benefit both tO
the sportsmen and to the ducks. "
