The Western Maryland railroad had
force engaged yesterday with a wrecking
crane unloading stone to prevent the fur
Their undermining OF what Is known as the
'towpath" track at Central station, in this
city. 1t was necessary to push the work IN
the rain. 1t was feared that the bank might
be eaten entirely away, in which event
Wills creek would have broken into South
Mechanic street, and all that section of the
city would have been flooded. The tow
path track serves as dam. 1t was not
on ii might have caused it to cave in. 1t is
thought the action today will stop the raw
ages on the bank. People living in the
vicinity were considerably worked up for a
time.
Verdict for Plaintiff.
The suit of Mrs. Mary E. Blackburn of
Kitzmillersville Garrett county, who OBJ
tanned verdict for $1,000 damages against
the county commissioners of Garrett county
approach to a bridge across the Potomac
river at Blaine, has been taken to the court
Of appeals by the defendants. The case was
tried in Allegany county on a change Of
venue.
1t has been decided by the superintendent
of the old National pike in Pennsylvania to
spend 100000 In the repair of a stretch Of
five miles of the pike which Is now almost
impossible. The stretch to be improved be-
gins near the Garrett county, Md, line.
This is the thoroughfare used by automo-
bilists who pass through Cumberland for
western points.
William Harvey, surveyor of Allegany
county, Md, has completed the survey OF
the boundary line between Garrett and AL
legany county, under the direction of the
commissioners of the latter. The boundary
Is in dispute, and 1t Is said Garrett county
VIII not give up the rich strip of mineral
land to Allegany county without a struggle.
The boundary Is laid off with stone posts a
mile apart. The Chisholm line was followed,
but the Garrett people contend that the law
says the line shall meet the Mason and
Dixon line at the highest point of Savage
mountain, while the Chisholm line does not
meet the Mason and Dixon line on Savage
mountain, but on the western slope of Lit
tie Savage mountain.
