Fire Last Might.

The alarm Of the fire bell and
whistle last night, shortly after
midnight, caused many persons to
get up and 60 to look for the
scene of the fire. The fire was in
the barber shop Of John Benson,
colored, on Cedar street, and was
extinguished without the help OF
the fire company. AS soon as the
fire was discovered a man rushed
to the engine house on horse back
and gave In the alarm, and then
hurried back. Fortunately, there
were three large tubs. full of wa
ter, near the place, and as soon as
the door was burst open the con-
tents of the tubs were thrown on
the fire, with the result that dt was
extinguished before the members
of the fire company arrived.
On account Of the congested con-
dition Of the section in which the
fire was located, it might have caus-
ed much damage and danger, had
it not been for the promptness with
which 1t was put out.

Yesterdays Storm.

While the storm which ragged
throughout the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland yesterday afternoon and
night did many thousands OF dollars
OF damage in the adjoining counties,
but little damage has been reported
either from the county or Cam
bridge. One of the first evidences
Of the strength Of the wind was dis
covered in the afternoon, when a
large tree on Court Lane, opposite
the law offices of Goldsborough &
Fletcher, showed signs OF giving
away. After a plumber of efforts
the tree was finally secured with
a stout hawser, and probably pre-
vented from blowing over on the
building. This morning it was ia
ken down and was found to be
badly decayed.
Along the water front the tide
was exceptionally high, but beyond
this fact, and the blowing off OF a
few branches from the trees, but
little damage was reported here.

Automobile with Power Applied to
All Wheels $

OF the many improvements in
automobiles now being proposed !,
one Of the most interesting is a
design recently patented in which
the power is applied to each of the
four wheels and the frame is so
swiveled as to allow the vehicle
to adjust itself to irregularities in
the road. The main frame of the
car is a steel angle bar bent to
the form of rectangle. Under
meath the forward part of this Is
a secondary. frame which is pivoted
at its rear end to the center of
the main France and supports the
front end Of the main frame by
means of roller bearings. On this
secondary frame the front axle is
carried, and the car Is steered by
turning this frame through the
medium of geared steering
mechanism. The front and rear
wheels are driven by separate en-
gines. the front engine bling mount
ed on the secondary frame and the
rear engine on the main frame.
Each engine is equipped wiz fric-
ton (which conslsta 80
with friction wheel
right angles between them ana SO
arranged and controlled that 1t
may be made to bear against eth
er disk, thus furnishing a ready
means Of reversing the direction
Of the vehicle. Variations in speed
are secured by sliding the friction
wheel on its axle so that 1t en-
cages the disks at varying distances
from the center of the wheel, in
the manner commonly employed
with friction drives. The friction
wheel, acting through beveled
gears, drives jack shaft which is
hain-connecteds at each end to
one Of the traction wheels. The
controlling mechanism Is such that
the engines operate as one unit.

a slip now and then upon the
