% suits against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and the American Bridge Com
psny, instituted by sufferers by the flood
in Port Deposit in 1910, were placed on
trial at Easton. Talbot county. yester-
day. The defendants demurrer was
overruled by Judges w. II. Adkins and
r. H. Hooper, sitting as the court A
continuation was granted by the court
until May 2G.
Judge Adkins spoke OF the great i'm
portance Of the ease. and based the rul
ings upon the grounds of the far greater
public interest in the matter He re-
minded the members of the bar that
upon the verdict hinged the possible
removal Of the immense Susquehanna
bridge or the reconstruction OF il. He
said, in granting the continuation. that
& was shown in the testimony that the
bridge was the cause Of the gorge that
devastated the town, and that it would
have to be removed or replaced by a re-
constructed one that would not prove a
menace to Port Deposit. The impor-
tance Of the matter, he declared, made
it imperative that the railroad company
should be granted every opportunity TO
strengthen its case. The court ordered
that the expenses af this special term
should be borne ~ % s-s"-dauts in
the case
