Ell DORADO.

1t is generally known to the people Of
today that when Adam and Eve were ex.
PEELED from the garden of Eden, they were
given the whole world from which to
select their home except that other por-
ton of Paradise which we call Abingdon
district, as their expulsion from the gar
den would not have been practical one
if allowed to settle there. 1t is not well
known, however, that this is also land
of perennial youth, where the Pale Mes
senger seldom appears. Conclusive evil
dence of this statement is furnished by
the result ofhis recent visit there. Within
the last six weeks four octogenarians
and one nonogenarian from this neigh
borhood and within an area of three or
four square miles have been gathered
home, as follows:
DR.. William F. Brand, aged %; Mrs
Sophia Brand, 50; DR.. George Archer,
80; John Jasper Norris, "a; William
Johns, SO; average age IS. We know
ofno land where such longevity prevails.

Lots numbers 6, and in square 167
in the city of Havre de Grace, assessed to
the Lawder Can Company, to H. S. Car
yer for $25, $50 and $50, respectively.
This is certainly very handsome
showing for the conduct of the treas
urer's office. When over FIVE hundred
tax delinquents are advertised and by
persistent energy these are sifted down to
only seven actual sales, it demonstrates
painstaking industry which deserves
warm commendation. Nothing is more
unfortunate than to see ones property
slip from his grasp for the payment of
public dues, and we congratulate the
people of Hartford that the list was so
small this year, several of these sales
having been made to perfect titles.

NEW B. AND o. BRIDGE.

Scarcely has the new bridge spanning
the Susquehanna at Havre de Grace, over
which the Pennsylvania railroad crosses
the river, been completed at an expense
OF several millions of dollars, before an
| nouncement is made that the same thing
will be done by the B. and o. railroad a
few hundred yards higher up the stream
The present bridge was erected in 1886
when the road was first built; it was
constructed of iron and was considered
masterpiece of engineering skill at that
time, since the spans were unusually long
and its elevation sixty feet above the
water. This great elevation was given
in order to avoid central draw, which
is maintained at a heavy expense and
seriously interferes with the passage of
trains. The Susquehanna at this point
being a navigable stream, it became
necessary to secure the consent of the
National Government as we'll as that of
the Board of Public Works of MARYLAND.
1t was demonstrated by series of ex-
periments with shifting mast tops that
this was sufficient elevation to allow the
passage of such vessels as still go as far
north as Port Deposit, and the concession
was granted the railroad A further
wonderful feat at the time was the sink
ing of caisons to bed rock and filling
them with solid concrete, thus making
the piers solid mass of stone from top
to bottom. While the present bridge
was considered amply heavy when con-
structed, modern rolling stock has been
so greatly increased in weight that the
heaviest engines are not allowed on the
present bridge, and the slow rate of speed
maintained by crossing trains is source
OF much nervous anxiety on the part of
the passengers.
The new structure will cost between
two and three million dollars, and its
construction will cover period of about
three years. 1t will be double track
throughout and designed to carry the
heaviest traffic. Two 100 foot spans
Will replace the west approach viaduct,
resting on solid piers, and 9O-foot spans
resting on solid piers will replace the
Watson island viaduct.
The increase of the floating population
of this section by from 800 to 1000
men for a period of six or seven years
during the construction of these two
mammoth improvements, and the free
expenditure of their wages has to no
small degree increased the wealth and
commercialimportance of Havre de Grace
and the surrounding section of the couu-
try. We congratulate our city by the
sea and trust that their present prosper
ity may become permanent when bridges
are no longer being built.
