100 Years Ago Today

n NE HUNDRED years ago today
Gen. Mcclure, learning of the
disastrous result of the American
campaign in Lower Canada and fearing
his own force would be attacked by the
British. resolved to evacuate Fort George
and abandon the country This he
accordingly did, with all his troops. and
with such precipitancy that he left be-
hind him all his tents and stores. His
retreat was accompanied by an act that
has left an indelible stigma upon his
name. The frost had set in early and
severe. The snow lay deep upon the
ground. Yet at 80 minutes notice, of
$50 houses in the Canadian village of
Newark, he fired all save one. and drove
400 helpless women and children to seek
shelter in the log huts of the scattered
settlers, or in the bark wigwams of the
wandering indians.

A number Of horses and wagons
belonging to Anderson Bros, con
tractors on the Western Maryland
Railway construction work about a
half a mile above WilliamsBori, ar
riyed yesterday afternoon, as well
as another large force OF men. The
men now working OH the job, number
about sixty. principally foreigners.
The work is being done on the p
&. branch of the Western Maryland
The engineers are very reticent, ana
no definite information can be got
ten as to the object Of their work.
Rumors are that It is the purpose OF
double track It the entire distance
from Williamsport to Cherry Run;
white others are to the effect that
simply more side tracks are being
put in
BY means OF short and indepen-
IDENTIFY built railroad the Western
Maryland railway win gain entrance
to Martinsburg, W Va, and the lime
fields of Berkeley county Thus the
Western Maryland will be able TO
compete with the b. & o. in hauling
limestone to the Western Pennsyl-
vania steel companies. This Is an
important factor to the railroads en-
tering the Pittsburg district, as the
hauling Of limestone is nearly as eX-
tensive and considered more profit
able than that of coal II it were not
for the limestone, in the vicinity OF
Nartinsburg. the coal cars would all
be empty moving westward. As it is
nearly every other coal car moving
westward over the Pittsburg division
of the b. &. 0. is filed with limestone.
The new road will branch from
the w M. at Williamsport, bridge the
Potamac and go direct TO Martins
burg with branches TO different quar-
ries.
The only hindrance 10 its complet'
ion is a strip OF land situated direct
" in front of the bridge, which John
w. Baker asks the enormous and IN
reasonable sum OF Sl50,000 for. The
Railroad Company cannot condemn
it. as it does not want to run passen-
ger trains.
One of the results which VIII fol-
low. will be the Abandonment of the
present uncompleted bridge and the
building of another lower down the
river. The bridge has cost the road
$40. 900. bur the steel is not deliver
cd as ye4. This steel cannot be used
on tho new bridge. Someone will be
