officials OF the p, B. and w. railroad
who went down TO the river yesterday
morning returned home last evening, sats'
fod that the flood mad reached It's height
without damaging the railroad property
tc any great extent. Their train could get
as far as Herring Run, which Is a mile
east Of Port Deposit. The railroad officials
found the tracks from that point on 70

A freak Of the freshet is that two bis
scows Of the Mccall Ferry Power Com
pany that had been swept from McCalls
Ferry were tossed up with the ice on the
railroad tracks far above the rivers nor.
mai level. The railroad company set a
force Of men clearing away these land
glaciers. AS the tracks directly through
the town are high above the rivers level
there was not much obstrueting ice there
but to the westward the tracks were piled
with huge masses Of ice Is feet thick

SENATOR TlLLMAN.

1t created something Of a sensation
the other day when II was announced
that the famous aPItchforkr Senator
Ben Tillman was coming to FalrmOnt
to make a speech. 1t has been some
time since Fairmont people have heard
a United States Senator speak aud
many people would so to hear Just
most any man who occupied so high
and conspicuous a position, but It Is
likely quite a crowd will turn out to
hear the South Carolina flrgeater. He
will probably discuss the "nigger"
and "cuss" Roosevelt. That Is said
to be his style. Persons who have
heard him say he strides back and
forth on the platform something like
a lion in a cage when crowds have
their eyes fixed on him. And his
roar is said 10 be something awful II
he happens to feel a real ct against
Roosevelt or the cOlored man coming
on. Out OF mere curiosity We suppose
we shall go TO hear the rip, roaring
Democratic Senator. bit II is not like,
fy We shall agree with much that he
says. He Is a negro hater and his at.
tacks on President Roosevelt have
caused frequent rows. but he may not
create any disturbance here. There
Is one thing people generally say Of
Tillman that can't he said of every
body, he gets the credit Of being hon
est in his convictions and he Is no;
afraid to say what he thinks. We
shall hold our opinion of him In re.
serve until we hear him.
