New Industry Inquiry

Inquiries have been received
from the Empire State Melal
Wheel Company, asking if New
ark has any large building and
site for the location of their plant
here. The company is now locat
ed at Fort Plain, N. Y, whe.e c
they are engaged in the manufac-
ture of children's steel wagons
whelebarrows, auto supplies and
novelties. Their present quarters
will not accommodate an increas-
ing trade and they are desArou, >.
locating in such town as New
ark, where the railroad facilities
place them nearer their markets
With headquarters here, this would
make an ideal distributing point
1t is not known whether any
action will be taken on this re
quest for information or any effort
made to find out the possibilities
OF this industry,

State Buys Conowingo Bridge

Pursuant to an act passed at the
last session of the Maryland Leg
islature, the Road Commission Of
that State on Saturday purchased
the highway toll bridge spanning
the Susquehanna river at Como
wingo, from Conowingo Bridge
Co., for $4,000. Shortly after the
passage of the act of Assembly,
the State made an offer of So, 500
for the bridge, which was accept
ed, but the deal was not executed.
Later the bridge owners raised
their price to $85 900 and then to
100000. The matter of it's sale
hung fire for some time, and the
figure of $4,000 was finally
agreed upon as a compromise.
The bridge owners have derived
considerable revenue rom the
telephone and telegraph compan-
les, whose wires are strung along
the structure, which receipts will
now go to the State and be ap-
piled toward the cost of repairs to
the bridge. The State will abolish
tolls on the bridge, which were
made excessive, in fact, onerous
upon it's partial rebuilding after
the burning OF several spans oI
the structure about four years
ago. The new portion of the
bridge was erected in 1909 by the
Roanoke, Va, Bridge Co., at 2
cost of $4,000, and its restoration
was welcomed by residents, al
though the high tolls curtailed its
use considerably.

Dr.. Dawson, Cure For Anthrax

On Monday of last week, on the
same farm on which Anthrax was
discovered in 1904, DR.. Kuhns,
veterinarian of Dover, found that
two mules belonging to Harry
Clark, living near the State Capt.
tai, had died, and that the trouble
was unquestionably Anthrax. The
Veterinarian made an exanlina-
ton of the district and tound two
COWS on the farm of J. J. Cover
dale, further east and towards
Blowers Beach, dead with An
thrax. Returning to the farm of
Clark, DR.. Kuhns discovered that
a horse was sick with the malaNx
and Immediately applied what is
known as DR.. Dawson's Anthrax
Cure. DR.. Dawson, the Delaware
State Chemist, has been working
for several years to relieve this
condition and has recently COM
pleted what he terms his Anthrax
Cure. The Clark horse did not
die, and at that time was alive
and showing signs of yielding to
the treatment.
Meantime the State is insisting
upon its new Anthrax laws. All
carcasses it is notifying the farm
crs, must be either buried or burn
ed. If buried, a grave seven feet
deep must be dug, leaving four
feet from the top of the body to
the top of the ground. If burned,
it requires about a cord 0; dry
wood and a small trench dug for
the fire to kindle beneath the larH-
NAL. A good burning is prefer
able to a good burying job, the
State says, but almost anything is
preferable to bad burning, where
the blood or other fluids, infect
ed with millions Of anthrax germs,
flows about, free of the flames.
The State pays eight dollars for
a burning and four dollars for a
burial, but insists upon burial, with
a barrel of quick lime, where the
burning cannot be properly done.
Dr.. c. F. Dawson, who has been
experimenting at the College Sta
ton, is the recognized authority
OF the scientific world on anthrax.

Barn Burned

During the severe electric
storm that visited this section last
Friday night, the barn of DR.. Por-
ter was struck by lightning and
completely burned.
The storm put the telephone out
OF order, which delayed the Civ
ing OF the alarm. By the time
Aetna Fire Company reached the
scene of action the building was
too far gone for their efforts to be
of any avail.
All the live stock was saved
Probably the greatest loss was the
burning of some rare old fashion
ed furniture which had been stor-
ed in the building.

BASE BALL NEWS

Stupid base running on the part
OF the visitors in the first and third
innings is all that saved Newark
from defeat at the hands of the
Avondale club on Saturday after
noon. Avondale showed unex..
pected strength at the bat and in
the first, third, seventh and eighth
innings drove Willis's benders to
all corners of the lot. They threw
away runs, however, in the early
innings by poor judgment on the
bases, which would have brought
them victory.
1t was the hardest drubbing that
Willis has received this season
The visitors got ten good safe
drives including three two bag
gers and a triple. Newark alsc
batted well, but did not bunch
their hits like the visitors. New.
ark won out in the ninth inning
after one was out.
Nichols who caught for Avon
dale, put life in the game by nj.
good natured coaching. A fea
ture Of the contest was the fac
that J. keating, who played frs
base, also had two of his sons il
the game. The score by inning
