Boy Tries To Wreck Train.

Edward Saul, a fifteen year old boy of
Doe Run. was committed to the House of
Refuge. after confessing to the police that
he had attempted to wreck a passenger
train on the Pomeroy & Newark road. on
the night of September 22nd. by breaking
a switch lock. which would have sent the
train down an embankment, If unforeseen
circumstances had not intervened.
On. the night in question a severe storm
prevailed, trees were uprooted and traffic
blocked and delayed. During the delay a
brakeman discovered the state of affairs,
and an investigation resulted in the arrest
of the boy, who admitted that he had
made previous effort at wrecking the
same train by placing iron bolts on the
track, but that not being successful he
conceived the idea of throwing the switch.
Saul said he was led to these acts through
viewing a wreck of train in moving

STATE ROAD WORK.
Governors Report Covering MorI
Done.

Governor Goldsborough has issued /:
statement covering the work done by th,
State Roads Commission for the yea
ended October 8. The statement is SINH
lar to the one issued at the same time las
year by the Governor and goes in detail
into the work that hasbeen done. its char.
acter, what has to be done in the future
and the cost and character of that.
He calls attention to the requirement Of
the law that the State roads shall be an
artery system, connecting the county seats
and converging at Baltimore. as far as
practicable. He also points out that il
was not intended that local or county
roads be built with the proceeds of the
State loans for good roads.
So far. the State has appropriateda a total
of $o. 10000 for the roads S.. 900. 600 at
the sessions of 1908, $1,000, 900 at the
session of 1910 and $3.I7o. 900 at the ses-
sion Of 1919. The appropriation made in
IoIo-$r 700, 900. the law provided should
be applied to completing the Baltimore
and Annapolis Boulevard to purchasing
the Conowingo bridge over the Susque-
hanna river and to building the Sharp
town bridge over the Nanticoke river.
Any balance after these works had been
completed was to revert to the general
road funds and be pro rata among the
counties for the State roads being built in
them, respectively.
OF this total appropriation of 80, I7o. 900
there has been sold bonds OF the par value
of $S,646, 900, at discount of $2o6, o23. .S7,
thus netting $s,34o.o76.13. There re-
mains, of the total original appropriation
of $524, 900 in unsold bonds. There is
nov pending bid of 81 for $274.ooo Of
that amount and the remaining $3.50. 900
cannot be disposed Of until January Of
next year.
After considering the amounts which
have been appropriated for the State roads
work and the disposal of that, the Gov
ernor discusses the future of road work
and makes the statement that s'the State
cannot only afford to complete our road
system, but it cannot now afford not to
do so.
The Governor indicates strongly that he
thinks the concrete road solution of the
problem of getting road that will stand
the wear and tear of a large motor traffic.
He says the work that has been done by
the commission along thisline was largely
experimental at first and that the results
have encouraged them to undertake the
construction of much greater mileage.
Regarding the cost of the roads, it is
stated that while labor, materials and
freights have shown an increase of from
20 per cent. to 40 per cent. over those OBJ
tanning at the beginning of the road
work in this State. there is every indica-
ton that the costs during the year 1913
viii be less than in preceding years.

DESTROYED BY FIRE
6randstand and Clubhouse Swept
BY Fire At Havre. de Grace
Racetrack.

Fire broke out in the grandstand at the
Havre de Grace racetrack at an early
hour Sunday morning, and famed by the
strong wind spread rapidly through the
immense structure and communicated to
the club house.
from the town and by the time the Havre
de Grace fire company reached the scene
the buildings were wrapped in flames.
Lack of adequate water supply further
Handicapped the iremen.
The large grandstand and clubhouse,
the restaurant and the betting ring were
completely destroyed, entailing an esti-
mated loss of about $25. 600.
The FIRE is believed to have been started
| by an incendiary, as it broke out in the
northwest corner of the grandstand in
such location that the strong wind blew it
directly into the most valuable buildings
on the site. There were no electric wires
about the place and only the watchman
was on the premises at the time the FIRE
was discovered.
The stabling is located more than
quarter of mile from the grandstand
and was not endangered.
Parts of the high fence that surrounds
the entire grounds were burned and also
part of the covered boardwalk that runs
from the grandstand to the waiting station
near the railroad tracks. While the
Havre de Grace firemen were fighting the
blaze in the large buildings, spectators
subdued the flames that were spreading to
the fence and boardwalk.
A house nearby. occupied by Albert
Wolf, caught fire several times. but was
only slightly injured.
Frederick Rehberger, secretary of the
Racing Association, who is now at the
Laurel race track, lost number of
valuable papers, which were in the Office
in the clubhouse.
