Mass Meeting.
Vice-presidential Candidate Speaks
In Cecil County.
CAMPAIGN OPENS IN COUNTY.

The campaign was opened in
Cecil county at Elkton on Monday
evening by mass meeting, which
was addressed by democratic vice.
presidential candidate John W.
Kern and First District Congress
sional candidate j. 81. Covington,
of Talbot county.
The meeting was called to order
in Mechanics Hall, which was fill
ed to overlooking, democrats from
all sections of the county gathering
to hear the distinguished speaker.
So many had been unable to gain
admission to the hall that an over
flow meeting was held out doors,
which was addressed by Mr..
Covington, while the vice presi-
dental candidate was speaking in
the hall.
Governor Austin l.. Crothers
presided and introduced the speak
ers. Mr.. Kern was given a rous;ng
and enthusiastic reception by his
audience who followed with close
attention his address, which was a
forceful one, in which he urged his
hearers to decide the great issues of
the campaign, not as partisans, but
as patriots. For himself every
fibre of his heart responded to the
creed of Jefferson, summed in the
axiom, equal rights to all, special
privileges to none," and he agreed
with the second Jefferson, William
Jennings Bryan, that all questions
should be settled in the interest of
the people and not that of the
privileged few.
Mr.. Covington followed Mr..
Kern, it being the occasion of the,
first speech made by the candidate
for Congress in his district, and
marking the opening of his cam
paign. He made a hit with his
audience by his straightforward
talk, and his reference to the record
of his opponent, Mr.. Jackson, the
republican candidate in the district,
who he said held, but did not fill
his seat in Congress, and predicted
that the rigid enforcement of the
Corrupt Practices act would mean
the redemption of the District from
control.
z Mr.. Kern arrived in ElktonS on
the 6.37 P. M. express from Balti-
more, accompanied by Chairman
hurry Vandiver and J. 81. Coving-
ton. He was met at the station
by Governor Crothers and re-
ception committee of Democratic
professional and business men of
Elkton and many members of the
Third District Bryan, Kern and
Covington Club, with the Elkton
band, and escorted to the Howard
House, where with Mr.. Covington,
he held reception for nearly three
quarters of an hour, meeting voters
from various parts of the county
and nearby sections of Delaware.
Mr.. Kern did not have time to
speak to the over flow crowd, but
received enthusiastic cheers from it
as he left the hall at the conclusion
of his speech and was driven to the
station to. take a train for Balti- &,
more which was stopped for him
at Elkton.

The Canning Season In Hartford.

Hartford county papers report
that the pack of corn will close
this week in the county, while the
canning of tomatoes may continue
a few days longer. The yield of
very early planting of corn was
poor, not over ten to fifteen cases
per acre being packed, but the
yield of the later corn was good,
running seventy five to eighty cases
to the acre. On the whole the
Hartford county corn pack viii be
an average one.
Tomatoes are short and the fruit
was affected in the quality as well
as the quantity. The dry weather
caused the tomatoes to blister and
shrink, and after the skin is re-
moved small white specks show on
the fruit. The pack in Hartford
will not be more than two thirds of
the usual pack.

Thomas Johnson, of Havre de
Grace, employed by the American
Bridge Company on the new Balti-
more & Ohio railroad bridge, across
the Susquehanna river, was struck
by heavy iron bar and sustained
compound fracture of the right
leg, six inches of the bone, above
and including the knee joint, being
crushed. The unfortunate young
man was taken to a Baltimore
hospital, but it is feared amputation
of the leg will be necessary.

B. &. 0. BRIDGE GOES DOWN.
Heavily Loaded Coal Cars Crash
Through Bridge Into Sus- 4
Quehannd River.

crashed through the B. & 0. rail
road bridge over the Susquehanna
river between Havre de Grace and
Frenchtown, about $50 O'Clock
Wednesday morning. The loco
motive and four cars passed over
the bridge safely, and six cars and
the caboose in which we're the train
crew were left standing on the
other side of the break, twelve cars
crashing down ninety feet into the
river with 377-foot span of the
bridge, weighing thousands of tons
Fortunately no lives were lost, and
only one man was injured.
An express train had passed over
the bridge safely short time before
the coal train went upon the
structure. There were reports cir
culated to the effect that the bridge
had been blown up by dynamite as
a result of labor troubles, but they
are discredited.
The bridge is being converted
from a single into a double track
structure and while the work is in
progress in order not to interrupt
traffic the tracks are supported
upon an elaborate false work. This
false work gave way, under the
immense weight of the train, which
was composed of twenty-five big
gondola cars, with capacity of
100000 pounds, loaded with coal,
the accident occurring on the east
end of the bridge, where the
structural work is in progress.
The engine and four cars had pass
ed safely over when the span gave
way. William Wilson, a watch
man, was standing on the bridge,
and went down with part of the
debris, landing on the east bank of
the river. When reached by
rescuers they were overjoyed to
find him alive, and he was ex.
tricated without difficulty and
taken to Havre de Grace on Cap
tain Gilligan's train, severely cut
and bruised and suffering from the
shock, but not seriously injured.
The Pennsylvania tracks are
being used by the B. & o. between
Swan Creek near Havre de Grace,
and Wilmington, the break on the
bridge cutting the B. & o. line
completely.
The financial loss of the Amefi-
can Bridge Co., which had the
construction contract, is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4OO, 900,
and the railroad company about
which is the value of the
cars and coal, and does not include
the cost of running trains over the
Pennsylvania tracks.
The loss is not so much in the
value of the material, which is a
broken and twisted mass, but in
the time required to construct the
false work, it being estimated that
it took twice as long to put it in
place as it would take to set up the
work that was to follow.

UTENSILS FoR the KITCHEN.


Among the new contrivances for the
Kitchen Is a knife for pairing potatoes
and cutting them into nuted strips..
Compared with the complicated uten-
sil that has been constructed for this
purpose the knife seems wonderfully
simple. It slices and flutes with one
stroke. the action being the same ~
when using an ordinary straight
bladed knife.
The grooves In the blade Of this
futer make the ornamental lines In
the slices, giving dainty appearance
to the potato.
Grape fruit has become popular
since doctors began to recommend 1t
rs one OF the articles Of diet conducive
to longevity. 1t II difficult task to
remove the seeds from grape fruit
without spelling the appearance Of the
fruit. A new knife especially designed
for this purpose is being shown. 1t
has a long, curved, thin blade. This
blade is inserted into the heart OF the
grape fruit. and with skillful twist
the superfiuous part can be removed
without damaging the contour of the
fruit.
Several new styles of tunnels are
provided with strainers. One shows
the funnel with strainer attached and
also some that can be used apart. One
Of the best of the latter style is a
strainer that fits into the outlet OF the
funnel. 1t is bulb-shaped contrivance

1t fits snugly into the bottom Of the
funnel. 1t can be left there or taken
out II desired.

attached to the funnel, and 1t has the
advantage over the other of being al.

lifted back when not needed. When
straining is desirable 1t is dropped
over the top of the funnel and held
there by catch.
