Engine And Cars Overheard.

A dinkey engine and three small
dump cars, used in the B. & 0
railroad bridge work on the island
opposite Frenchtown, plunged into
the Susquehanna river, in about
fifteen feet of water last week, en-
failing a loss Of $4,000 to the con
struction firm. One OF the cars had
jumped the track, stalling the en-
gine, which was left standing with
throttle open by the engineer, while
the car was pried back on the rails.
As soon as the car was righted
enough to take the strain from the
engine, the little machine got busy
and went ahead at a rapid rate,
plunging into the river and pulling
the cars after it, before the engi
neer could get back to his post.

Work To Be Resumed.

We have been reliably informed,
although not officially, that the
Mccall Ferry Power Co. will re
sumo full operations at Mccall
Ferry in early spring, probably
about the middle of March, and
the gigantic electric plant .pushed
to completion at the earliest possible
date.
We understand that the receivers
of the Knickerbocker Trust Co., o.
New York, the failure of which
caused the suspension of operations
at Mccall Ferry, have authorized
the fulfillment of the original con
tract which the Knickerbocker
Trust Co. entered into with the
Mccall Co., the result Of which
$3.50, 900 deposited by the Power
Company for a specific purpose
and $500, 900 also in the Trust Co.'s
assets, have been released, and thus
over 81, 100000 is in hand to re
sumo work as soon as favorable
weather conditions prevail.
Now that plans for the erection of
the pole line to carry the current
to Baltimore are being matured, it
would seem that the time when the
Snsquehanna river will furnish
electric current to the Monumental
city is within sight.-Republican,
