Joel ]. Carter, of Pleasant Grove, is on
trip to the Bahama Islands, on a
botanical research. Mr.. Carter is a
botanist of repute and went with DR.. ].

winter they went to Miami, where they
were provided with a steam yacht for
their exclusive use. They have British

British soil. The party is composed of
nine men. three of them handling the

Red Cross Stamps.

Miss Bertha M. Tyson of near town,
through whose efforts the Red Cross
stamps were placed on sale here before
Christmas, reports she still has some Of
the stamps on hand and any one interested
in the work Of the Maryland Association
for the Prevention and Relief of Tuber-
culosis can secure some of these pretty
little stickcrs, which sell for one cent
apiece, by sending to her. Postage
stamps will be taken in exchange for the
Red Cross stamps if any one wishes to
order by mail. The stamps were not
placed on sale long enough before Christ
mas to dispose of many, and the extreme
weather, condition of roads, ETC., during
the holidays kept everyone at home the
greater part of the time, consequently not
a stamp was sold after Christmas.
The purchase of these stamps means
the furthering of great fight, and not
withstanding Xmas and New Year are
over, there are no doubt numerous per-
sons who will avail themselves of this
opportunity to contribute their mite TO
the battle being waged against the great
white plague. who were unable to do SO
during the holidays.

BALTIMORE SUN CHANGES
OWNERS.
Controlling Interest Reported pur-
chased For $1,000. 900.

Former Ambassador Henry White and
Julian Leroy White, his brother, are
interested with Charles H. Grasty in the
purchase of a controlling interest in the
Baltimore Sun, which was foundedby A.
S. Abel in 1896, and has been in the Abel
family ever since. Friction among the
heirs is said to have brought about the
sale. The Sun is oneof the most valuable
newspaper properties in this part Of the
country. and the price paid for con-
trolling or majority interest is reported to
have been over $2,ooo,o 900, the building
and site being worth over 81, 900 600.
The Whites and other wealthy Balti-
moreans were associated with Grasty in
ownership of the Evening News before he
sold it for ST., ,ooo, ,ooo,to Frank A. Munsey.
About year ago Grasty bought the St.
Paul Dispatch, and subsequently the
Pioneer Press, and merged the two.
Recently he sold those papers and return
ed to Baltimore. He still refuses to talk
about the deal for the Sun. Neither will
he discuss his recent purchase of the
Evening World at auction. 1t is under
stood he eventually will use the news
franchise he secured with the World to
publish an afternoon edition of the Sun.

RAN TRAINS OVER THE ICE.
Heavy Ice On Susquefanna River
Recalls Winter OF 1882.

The protracted cold weather experienced
since the middle of December has served
to recall to the minds of the older resi-
dents the time when the ice on the Sus-
quehanpa River was so thick that the
only means of getting the trains of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad across at Perryville was to lay
rails on the ice and run the cars over
them. This actually was done. IS years
ago. The river was frozen SO that it was
impossible to ferry the trains across,
the method then employed, so on
January rs a track was laid on the ice
and from that time to the latter part of
February this line was used.
The cars were taken over one by one
and, even though they were of consid-
cradle weight, not person was injured
nor was any damage done to property.
There were 1878 cars taken across during
the great freeze, some carrying passengers
and some filed with freight. and many
persons took the trip simply for the sake
of the experience.
During the present month there has been
horse racing across the ice between the
Cecil and Hartford county shores, as well
as automobiling from Port Deposit to
Havre de Grace.

PENINSULA HORTICULTURAL So
CIETY MEETING.
More Than Five Hundred Exhibits
No Awards Made.

After its exhibits had been viewed by at
sions and lectures had been attended by
the largest crowd on record, the Peninsula
Horticultural Society closed its twenty
third and most successful convention at
Centreville, Md, on Thursday last
Always veritable paradise. in its pro-
duction of fruits, flowers, nuts and vege-
tables, the section of the three States
lying between the two great bays had es-
pecialIy bountiful crops last year and
specimens of the best of these found their
way to the society's exhibition tables to
be admired and commended by all who
saw them.
The most important work Of the closing
session was the election of officers to look,
after the interests Of the society during
the coming year. The following men
were named: President, F. c. Bancroft,
Wyoming. Del /; first vice-president, ]. w.
Hall. Manor Station, Md; secretary and
treasurer, WesleyiWebb, Dover, Del.
Following the election it was decided by
the committee on awards that no prizes
should be given for superior exhibits, but
paper was read commencing the ex-
hibitors and indorsing every exhibit made
as of highly superior quality. This de-
cision was due largely to the fact that the
500 or more exhibits were the best to be
found on the peninsula and, though the
committee was composed of apple experts
Of years of experience, no decisions could
be made.

early in the evening in the machine shops
of Thomas Williamson and spread rapidly
to the warehouse buildings Of J. H.

the 500 residents of the town made des-
,perate efforts to check the flames, the
whole town being endangered. Aid was

will reach fifty thousand dollars.

Dwelling House Burned.

The small frame dwelling at Peach
Bottom, Pa, owned by P. B. Shank and
occupied by the family of John Burk, was
totally destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning last, together with most Of the
contents. Mr.. Burk, who is employed as
section boss on the Columbia & Port De
posit railroad had gone to his work when
the fire broke out The flames had gained
such headway that it was impossible to
check them, and but few of the house
hold goods were saved, even the clothing
of the family being burned. The fire was
caused by defective fiue. Much sym
pathy is felt for the family and friends
