cIubbed To Death.

The jury summoned by Coroner ].
Frank Frazer on the death of Albert
Akin, the negro fireman employed in
the Felt Paper Company's mill, at Row
landville, rendered a verdict that Akin
came to his death from injuries inflicted
by party unknown to the jury. No ar
rests have been made except that of Nellie
Christie, colored, who is charged with
being an accomplice.
The post-mortem made by Drs. Roman
and Jack disclosed the bullet had NOT
penetrated Atkins skull. The supposition
is that after Akin was shot his assilant
struck him on the head with the stock OF
the gun. His skull was fractured in a
different place from where he was shot.

Susquehanna Pole Line Case.

The Susquehanna Pole Line Company,
the distributing agents for the Mccall
Ferry Electric Company, have made a
survey through Ingleside, Hartford county,
and ask for strip of land 2.42 of an acre.
The question which is before the Court of
Appeals is whether or not pole line
company is public service corporation
and as such has it the right to condemn.
The question has never been fully de-
termined by the higher court and the
decision will be watched with interest by
many persons, especially those through
whose land the proposed pole line wants
to pass and who have heretofore refused
to sell them the right of way.

ing, was rendered by the Coroner's jury.

SNOW BLOCKADE.
Heaviest Snowfall This Section Ever Had
Nearly Two Feet On The Level
And Drifts Many Feet Deep.
ALL ROADS SEALED UP FOR DAYS.

| The snow storm of Saturday, 25th inst,
was the worst that has visited this section
for years. Snow began falling about
seven o'clock in the morning, coming
down faster and faster as the day pro-
gressed and continuing Though the night,
when the wind began piling it up in great
drifts, blocking all roads and bottling the
town up completely from the outside
world
1t is variously estimated anywhere
from foot and half to two feet of snow
fell. The streets and walks in town were
piled high with great drifts, some of them
eight or ten feet deep, every road in
this section blockaded. and the railroad
completely tied up, drifts fifteen feet or
more in depth filling the cuts on either
side of town, which resisted the assaults
of snow plow and three engines, the
plow sticking fast Sunday night inf Hunts
cut, about half mile from town and
having to be dug out. Monday morning
it was sent back to reopen the road from
Oxford to Wawa. which had been block
AIDED second time. AS consequence
the road from Oxford to Octoraro Junction
remained closed from Saturday evening
until midnight Monday. The plow and
shovelers forced way through Hunts
cut about o:3o Monday night and proceed
ed to Octoraro, encountering drifts in
every cut.
The first mail since eight o'clock Satur-
day night reached here Tuesday morning,
when train service was partially resumed,
and news from the outside world learned.
Paths were shoveled in a measure
along the walks in town Sunday and
Monday morning the Borough authorities
put large force Of shovelers at. work,
while Thomas Rink opened track in the
streets with double team and bob sled.
Business was at standstill. A half
dozensteams from nearby farms managed
to reach the condensery with milk during
the day, but it was not until Tuesday
that any considerable number reached the
town, roads in every quarter being
blockaded, travel leading in devious ways
through fields and woods from point to
point.
Christmas visitors in the town and
country were compelled to prolong their
stay, many anxious inquiries being made
at the station and over the phone con-
cerning resumption of traffic on the rail-
road. while those from our town who had
spent Christmas away from home were
unable to return.
]. M. Sterrett spent, the entire day Mon
day in Broad street station, PLilada., in
the hope of getting train for home, but
in vain, the first train to reach here leav-
ing there Tuesday morning. Mrs. Carrie
Riale, son and daughter, and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. M. Hunt left Baltimore on Mon
day for Rising Sun but were able to get
only as far as Port Deposit. They were
taken to Philadelphia where they remain
ed over night, reaching here on Tuesday.
In those homes where death had visited
the seriousness of the snow blockade was
