Part of the Maine EIoated.

The wreck of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor in afioat. or rather
the after half of the ship, which has
been bulkheaded.
There is sixteen feet of water in the
cofferdam, across which Major Fergu-
son, the chief engineer, made a bi-
section earth embankment so as to
float the after half, while leaving the
forward part unfoated.
The cutting away of the wreckage
was then completed and the after half
of the Maine fioated at a point where
the depth of water in the harbor is
thirty-five feet. The list of the vessel
of six and a half feet on the port side
was reduced to three feet, and the ship
will soon rest on an even keel and will
then be ready to be towed out to a
point where the sea is deep and there
buried.
Three more bodies were recovered
from the crew section in the bow,
making six additional bodies that have
been found recently.

TRAINS CROSSED
RIVER ON ICE


We are in receipt of clipping that was
taken from a paper published in 1903
The article is headed Laid Rails On Ice
Ofthe Susquehanna 81 Years Ago rodav.' -
which added to tie nine years which have
elapsed since that date, makes the time
OF the remarkable feat sixty years ago.
The article is given in its entirety as fol
lows:
Even when remembering the coldest
waves that have occurred during the past
few years. people find it difficult to be
lieve that at one time the ice on the Sus
quehanna River zen the only mems of
getting the trains of the Philadelphia.
Wilmington and Baltimore line across at
Havre de Grace was to lay rails on the
ice and run trains over the river. This
was actually done.
Just 81 years ago to day (now sixty
years. the rivers of the State were frozen
so that any navigation was practically i'm
possible. All travelling was over lanG.
or, rather over ice routes At Havre de
Grace the ice was so thick that it was i'm.
possible to ferry the trains across the
river the method then employed to get
them over. The Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore road wac a rather i'm.
portant line, it was necessary that con-
nectiOns be made in some way. So on
January 25th line of tracks was laid on
the ice, aud from that time until the latter
part Of February this line was used.
'The cars we're not taken over in long
sections, but one by one Even though |
the carriages we're not OF the heavy kind |
now used, they were of considerable |
weight, but during all the weeks that this
ice route was used there was not one per-
son injured nor was there anv damage
done to the property. The ice was so |
thick that there was no anxiety felt
There we're l 1878 cars taken across during
the six weeks of the great freeze, some
carrying passengers and some filled with
freight and merchandise. That absolute
confidence was felt regarding the safety of
this method of crossing was apparent bv
the fact that "Uncle Sans" mails were
carried over in the trains, and we're at no
time removed. Considering the compare.
lively mild winter weather experienced
now, 1t is hard to even imagine such
state Of affairs, but there are many resi-.
dents who will remember the incident.
and who can give graphic descriptions Of
the trains being transported across the ice
covered river. Many persons took the
trip simply for the experience, and these
persons relate the story of their ride as
One Of the interesting events oftheir lives
The cars we're drawn by cables attached

distance in the front, and despite the alb

submar.Ie Lost With Entire Crew.

OuDmdT lie LOST Wtkn EntiFe crew.
The British submarine "A 3" sank
after a collision with the British tor
pedo gunbOat Hazard, OFF the eastern
end Of the Isle of Wight. The sutma
rine's crew of fourteen, ten sailors and
four officers, perished.
Besides the regular crew of ten men
and a lieutenant who we're on board
the "A g." three other lieutenants wer
on the vessel going through a course
of instruction.
Torpedo practice had been in prog
ress for some time and the submarine
"A 8" was partially submerged W el'
she came into collision with the Haz
ard. The gunboat was steaming at a
fairly high rate of speed, and when
she struck the submarine her bows cut
a big rent in the little vessels side.
AS the "A-3" settled down, which she
did in a few moments, and then disap-
peared, air and gas bubbles appearing
on the surface told the crew of the
Hazard that she was filing with water,
and that the fate of the four officers
and ten men of her crew was sealed.
The Hazard, however, threw out lie
buoys and launched boats in case an,
of the mel should succeed in escaping,
but none came to the surface

MacFarland Guilty of Murder.

The jury in the case of Allison NJ.
MacFarland in Newark, N. J., brought
in a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree, after a deliberation of more than
twelve hours.
Allison NJ. MacFarland was found
guilty Of causing the death of his wife
Evelyn, who drank cyanide of potas-
sium on the night Of Oct. II. Mac.
Farland admitted that he had brought
the poison to the house and had placed
it in a bromide bottle.
The jury found that he did so with
intent to cause her death. The prose.
cution claimed that MacFarland's in
fatuation for a Philadelphia woman
named in the case as Florence Brom-
ley, furnished the motive
