Instead Of the date for the actual
opening Of the Panama canal being set
later than the time originally decided
on, Jan. 1, 1915, those in charge of the
work assert that 1t will be sufficiently
completed to handle traffic by Oct. /,
1913. The building Of the canal seems
likely to be great stimulus to south.
ern and western trade, and this will be
true especially Of seacoast ports and
territory. Some idea Of what foreign
nations are expecting Of the canal as
a commercial factor Is indicated in the
report that they have spent or have
laid out improvements In harbor and
other facilities totaling 225.OO0,OOO.
The Illinois Central railroad is now

Home of M E. Baker, of Hyatts
town, DESTROYED by Fire.

Fire completely DESTROYED the dwelling
house of Mr. M. f Baker, of near Hy-
attstown, Montgomery county, together
with all Of Its contents. Mr.. Baker is a
farmer and was in the field at work at
the time that the fire occurred, and the
members of his family were away from
home
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore noon by man named Wood, who
lived nearby The lad at once gave the
alarm, and Mr. Wood and the neigh
bors ran into the house BY the time
that they arrived the roof Of the house
had fallen in, and only few articles
of furniture on the first floor were
saved.
The house was a log structure which
had been weatherboarded and repaired
at considerable expense, and was =
fairly good house. 1t was burned to
the ground.
1t is thought that the fire originated
from a defective chimney as the fact
that the root was the first to burn would
seem to indicate this.
The house was valued at about 81 900,
and there was an insurance OF more than
$500 on 1t. The loss on the furniture
was also several hundred dollars.

Moses McDevitt Expires Sud

Moses McDevitt, a we'll known char

on the pavement in front of the Amer
lean Foundry and Manufacturing Com
pany's plant West South street, this
city on Saturday, May 4th, about three
O'Clock in the afternoon, by the em-
ployees of the foundry. McDevitt was
noticed sitting on the street in front of
the foundry for nearly an hour before
he was found dead
Upon the finding Of the man, Justice
c. Fl. Eckstein was called, and acted in
the capacity of coroner ascertained that
all evidence led to the conclusion that
death was due to natural causes, and he
decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
DIR. Robert s. Tyson was called, and
stated that death was due to natural
causes. Justice Ecksteln had the body
removed to the office of the foundry, and
summoned Mr.. c. c. Carly. the under
taker, who removed the body to their
establishment on East Patrick street, and
prepared it for burial.

Attempted to Break Jail.

Sheriff Pagan frustrated the efforts OF
"Hoppy" Grove, charged with larceny,
Charles Tressler, charged with forgery,
and Harry Jones, colored, charged with
larceny, to saw their way out of the
Frederick county jail, on Sunday last,
May 4th.
The tip to the officers that an attempt
was TO be made to leave the Jail, was
given to Judge John c. Motter by three
foreigners, arrested in Brunswick sew
eral days ago. upon the charge of train
riding and brought here to Jail. They
told the location OF the work and what
had been done.
Sheriff Fagan was told about the at
tempt and he at once planned to capture
the fellows as soon as they made their
escape from Jail and not to interfere with
the saving For some reason those en-.
gagged in the saving evidently got word
of the discovery as Sheriff Pagan an
nounced that he had kept watch for
the crowd for three nights and no work
was done. He is of the opinion that
those implicated in the saving evidently
noticed the officers making a search
for the saving.
In the Frederick county Jail, the pris.
oners are kept locked in their cells only
when court is in session. At all othel
times they are allowed in their cells ano
in the corridors, or wherever they de
sire in the building, the barred window.
keeping them from going into the jai
yard.
Sheriff Fagan is unable to account fol
the appearance of the saw in the Jail
He is confident that it did not go in with
any Of the prisoners, as they are always
carefully searched before being passed
into the jail He is of the opinion that
it was brought into the iai by woman,
who called to see one of the three, who
are charged with being implicated in the
affair.

Those who hsbitually correct their
Young children in their faults by
whipping and boxing them, must not be
surprised when they find them slappng
them in return and rough and abusive
towards one another. They are Simply
trying to enforce their own little ideas OF
right and wrong as they have seen their
elders do. The mother who spends the
most of her time in lussing over the
wardrobes of her children and herself,
starching. ironing and decorating and
making them fashionable, will find the
; lessons that she taught them cropping
out in dudeism; and in vanity that pre-
vents the building Of solid character anc
useful habits. The father who smokes
