An extraordinary and expensive ce-
ment advertisement was furnished by
a recent shipwreck.
The ship SocOa, bound for San Fran
cisco with a cargo of cement for use in
the building of the city, was wrecked
off the Lizard. on the Cornwall coast
The ship struck rock, which tore a
large hole in her side and remained
fastened as upon pivot.
When the salvage crew arrived to
see about taking the Socoa from her
perilous position. says the Cement Age
the men found a remarkable condition
of affairs. The water had entered the
hold, and its action upon the cargo had
caused the cement to set. 1t had ac-
commodatingly set hard around the
rock that pierced the side of the ship,
which now remains fastened there per-
Inanently In its unique position.
The entire cargo has become as hard
as stone. and nothing can be done with
the ship except to dismantle as much
OF the wood as can be removed. The
hull will probably remain there for
many years as conspicuous advertise
ment for the cement manufacturers.

PETITION TO SELL NOTES
Receiver Spekenhier Will Dispose Of
Notes on Defunct Commercial
Bank at Hagerstowp,

J. "A. Spekenhier, receiver for the
defunct Commercial bank of Hagers-
town has filed a petition in the cir
cult court to sell forty-two notes
ranging from $40 to $3.50, as part of
the assets TO the defunct concern.
The notes will be sold at public auc-
ton as there is some doubt as to
their real worth owing to the appar-
ent insolvency of the indorsers.
Mr.. Spekenhier will probably begin
work on his final settlement immed-
lately as Hugh Allen the adOninistra-
tor of the personal estate of John
Bowman will make his final report
to Judge Fox today. The work in
volved III preparing his final state
ment is great; but Mr.. Spekenhier
hopes to be able to wind up all the
affairs of the bank in few weeks
after Mr.. Allen makes his report.
