Falls From Train Into River

Last FRIDAY afternoon, oscar J..
Strumcr,, OF Easton, fell from train
as II was passing over the Pcnnsyl-
varia Railroad bridge, across the Sus-
quchanna, between Pcrryville and
Havro dc Grace. He was in the smok-
ing car when the train stopped at Hav-
re de Grace station, and as il pulled
out he was seen To go from the car out
on the platform. When about halfway
across the bridge he fell into the river.
Captain George Say, who was in
launch with two companions, saw the
man strike the water and went to his
assistance. They could not stop their
boat on account OF some trouble with
the engine, and so passed him One
OF the party held out an oar TO him, but
he made no effort to catch it, and by
the time the boat could be turned he
had gone down. The river was
dragged and the body was recovered
about go that evening.
The fact that he was riding on the
platform OF the train and that he made
no effort to catch the oar held out to
him, lead to the belief that Mr.. Stru-
mer committed suicide. but ut the
Coroner'S inquest Saturday. Mr.. George
Strumer, a brother OF the deceased,
made a statement that caused the jury
10 give a verdict OF accidental death.
He said the dead man had a prosper
Gus business. fine horses and n yacht,
and that his family ties were such as to
give only pleasure to him There was
no evidence to corroborate the suicide
theory.
The body was taken to EaSton Sat
urday evening Funeral services were
held at Trinity Cathedral. the Masons
and Knights Of PythiaS, OF which lodges
he was member, participating in the
services. On Monday the body was
taken to Pittsburg, Pa. for burial.
Mr. Strumcr was a native OF Pitts
burg. He was a prominent jcwcler at
Easton, and vas highly esteemed. Nc
was member OF the Protestant Epis-
copal Church.

Port Deposit Makes Protest

A strong delegation appeared before
the Board OF Public Works at the
Hotel Rennert, last Wednesday, to
protest against the plans OF the pro-
posed reconstruction OF the b. & o.
bridge over the Susquehanna river at
Watson's Island, particularly TO the
lowering OF the super-structure and
placing OF additional piers in the new
bridge The protestants claimed that
the work would be a menace to navi-
CATION and barrier to the free pass
age of ice. that the bridge was, unfor-
tunately, located in the bend OF the
river, and should never have been built
there. that the Railroad Company had
violated its charter by refusing TO com
ply with the condition To provide a
tug to give passage for all boats trad
ing on the river. and other objections.
\ number OF affidavits OF citizens re-
siding above the bridge, certified that
the bridge is largely the cause OF the
ice gorgcs which form in the river.
Atfidavits OF ship-tradcrs and naviga-
tors on the river were filed, together
with a public petition from residents
along the river in both Cecil and Har-
ford counties Attention was called
To the fact that he War Department OF
the u. s. Government had made in
vestigations and had in both reports
found adversely to the additional piers,
and the builders of the bridge were
stopped last July by that Department;
and that the action OF the State last
November in giving permission to re-
construct the bridge with additional
piers was in conflict with orders from
the War Department. The protestants
were represented before the Board OF
Public Works by Mcssrs u. l.. Arm
strong, President Of the Board Of
commissioners Of Port Deposit. K.
Emery McClcnahan OF the McClena-
han Granite Co, C. C. Caldwell. OF the
Eureka Fertilizer Co, Roy II. Snyder,
OF the Rowland Manufacturing Co, and
others. The b. & o. r. X. Co. was
represented by Vice President Hugh
l. Boyd, who contcnded that the stop
page OF ice by the piers was more i'm
aginary than real. and was backed in
his contention by Bridge Inspector
Barnes, J T. Wilson, NJ. +. Tiding,
John Redwood, Philip Hopkins and
others, all OF Havre dc Grace. Gov
crnor Crothcrs announced that the
Board would take the question under
advisemcut.
