FIRE At CHESAPEAKE CITY.
Ericsson Line Boat Prevents
Spread OF Flames.


For the second time within two years
an Ericssoa Line steamer. while passing
through the Chesapeake and DelawaEe
Canal. saved Chesapeake City. this
county, from serious FIRE. A few min
utes before ~ o'clock Monday night the
mems furnishings store of John Cameron.
on Canal street, was discovered on FIRE.
The town has fre engine, but there are
no water pipes. The Lord Baltimore was
passing through the canal and was only
about $50 yards distant. Zine of hose
was at once run from the steamer and
stream was soon playing upon the flames.
The fire had gained such headway that.
il was impossible to save the building and
work was directed toward preventing
other buildings in the neighborhood from
burning. Flying embers set FIRE to sew
eral buildings, but each time the flames
were quenched before any serious dam
age resulted. The destroyed store build
ing was owned by George S. Woolley. and
the loss to him was about 81. 500, partially
covered by insurance. Mr.. Cameron's
loss is estimated at $4,000, with $500
insurance.

Oxford To Be Dry.

/ There is rejoicing among the temper
ance people of this locality over the result
OF the no-license campaign in Chester
county. the Court refusing license to
twenty-six of the sixty-two applicants to
sell whiskey in that county. Among
the licenses to be refused were those of
the two hotels in Oxford. This is sad
blow to numerous thirsty denizens in this
section of Cecil county, who had long
been in the habit Of crossing the line to
wet their whistle. as well as receiving reg
ular supplies OF whiskey by express from
Oxford.
These thirsty ones win now have to
turn to Havre de Grace. and as train SER
vice in that direction is poor. there is
much bewailing. The term of the hotel
licenses at Oxford win expire April /,
after which date the town will be dry for
the first time in its history.

MeiIhac's Failure.

Meilhac was one of the most sensi.
tive of authors; and NJ. Felix Duques-
mel relates his reception of the news
of one of his rare failures at the
OdeOn. He had taken refuge from
his nervousness in the managers Of
fee; and friends came to him from
time to time to tell him how thingS
were going. They could only tell
him, first, that things were going
badly, and then that they we're going
worse At the end of the fourth act
they no longer thought it worth while
to tell him anything at all. He in
the meantime had collapsed. He had
tumbled out of the armchair, fallen
on the floor and rolled under the
desk; and it was there that he was
found, with his head buried in his
hands, when an attendant at last en-
tered to turn out the gas and lock the
doOr.-Le Temps.

One of the great lower east side

of trouble.
A girl of ten, poorly but neatly
clad, had waited for a brother of
seven or eight to pilot him home. To
gether they crossed the street, his
hand in hers.
Reaching the opposite curb the lit
tie girl produced a well-worn book,
and as they proceeded she began to
read aloud from this, but in an I'M

taking faraway expression.

WELL WORTHY OF MONUMENT
Project on Foot to Erect Memorial to
Edwin L. Drake, Who Sunk the
First Oil Well.

Flfty-four years ago, or, to be exact,
on August II, 1859, oil was struck in
western Pennsylvania at spot
which bore the picturesque name Of
Plthole, now a deserted village, but
at one time the scene of epoch-mak-
ing activities.
The man who discovered oil by Dor
ing for it was a picturesque charac-
ter, Of an adventurous disposition, by
the name of Edwin L. Drake, widely
known under the title of Colonel. He
had observed traces of oil on the sur
face Of a stream near Titusville and
he resolved to sink a we'll to secure
this commodity in larger quantities
and to replace the crude methods
which the Indians of western Penn
sylvania employed They immersed
blankets to secure the lubricant,
more, however, on account of the
medicinal qualities Of the crude oil
than for it's commercial values and
uses.
1t is proposed by the people of
Titusville, Oil City and other cities in
the oil regions to erect monument
to Drake to mark the spot where the
first oil we'll was sunk. A Drake
memorial museum has already been
established at Titusville
The history of the early production
of oil in the oil regions of western
Pennsylvania reads like a romance,
and it is, indeed, romance, founded,
however, on the most solid structure
of fact
1t is fact that the discovery of oil
was one of the most vital in the his
tory of the United States. 1t seems
fitting that some shaft or monument
should mark the place where Drake
had the prescience to sink the first
oil well, which increased so amazingly
the wealth of this country and added
so much to the comforts of life.-Wall
Street Journal.

improvement Is Shown.

How the class of the Elgin races has
improved is shown by comparison
of the average speeds for the four
years of the Elgin National. In 1910
Ralph Milford in a Lozier went the
distance at an average speed of 62.5
miles an hour. In 1911 Len Zengel in
National boosted the average to
66.45 miles an hour, and last year in
the free-for-all, run at the same dis
lance as the Elgin National the other
three years, again raised the average
to $50 miles an hour.
This year Anderson's average was
71.5 miles an hour, Mulford's was 69.7
miles an hour and Wishart's was 67.5
miles an hour. The winner of second
place this year averaged nearly a mile
better than the winner any previous
year.
