In view Of the recent discussion as
to the value Of the present passenger
bridge at Havre de Grace when II was
first opened for the passage Of trains
fifty years ago, II may be interesting to
note description written ct the time.
The account says:
The most momentous event In the
history Of the r., W. & B. r. X. the
completion and opening to passenger
travel Of the stupendous railroad bridge
which spans the Susquehanna at the
mouth. nearly mile in length, was cele-
brated on Monday last by excursions
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and Viii
mington, and towns on the line Of the
road, and a grand banquet served by
the company at Perryvlle to the guests
present on the occasion. The bridge,
which has been four years In the course
of construction-th work Of thousand
men in that time-is one Of the greatest
achievements Of science and art, and
one Of the most stupendous Of its kind
In the world"

WHO IL OTTO I

Sheriff Atkin has q strange boarder
In shape Of A. ]. Otto, who 10 alleged
to have 90 many names and former
residences II 10 little difficult TO learn
just what or who he 10. About u week
ago Otto turned up In the vicinity of
Cooptown and spent the night with Mr..
William G. Zinkhan after claiming rela-
tionship with the family. During the
evening Otto represented himself as q
doctor and gave Mr.. zinkhana prescrip-
ton. In the morning he looked over
his hosts horses and showed SO much
skill In selecting the animals and telling
how they could be marketed Mr.. link
han became suspicious. After his de-
parture an investigation was started
and II was found that he had been tell
ing q different story wherever he stop
ped.
When, contrary TO his former plan,
he reappeared In Hartford on last We'd
nesday and started to spend the night
with Mr.. James Durham. OF Sharon,
Mr.. Zinkhan took matters into his
hands and had him arrested on the
charge of giving a prescription without
q diploma.
Upon his arrival at Mr.. Durham Is
during the heavy snowstorm on We'd
nesday night the Sheriff found Otto
snugly tucked In bed. II was only a
moments work TO run through his be.
longings and fi,id large lot Of surgical
instruments and medical supplies, and
an assortment Of papers dated from
points In Minnesota, which tend to beer
out the theory that Otto in not all that
he represents himself to be. He was
hustled to the Bel Air Jail and will be
given hearing on Tuesday.

During the early stages Of the meet
ing the discussion was informal, and
strong sentiment was developed to or
ganize A Community Interests Associa-
ton. its object being to foster the
grange. an agricultural fair. agriculture
In the schools, and in short oil themes
which would tend towards the better
ment and uplift Of those engaged In
agricultural pursuits.
Il was finally agreed that the present
meeting was called for the specific pur-
pose Of considering q fair association
alone, and that the broader field be left
for . later day.
Mr.. Caleb Moore was then called to
the chair. and County Agent Mclaughlin
was elected secretary. Mr.. Mclaughlin
has already given much time and atten-
ton TO the matter and was able to an.
swer many general questions on the
subject which were asked by those in
terested.
II was agreed that probably $40, 900
would furnish the necessary capital
stock and that It should be scattered
among rs many interested parties as
possible In shares of $40 each. II was
ordered that each grange select one or
more to canvass for subscriptions In Its
election precinct, there being seven
such organizations In the county, and
that one party be named by the chair
to DO similar work In every other pre-
cinet In the county.
On the subject Of location, after
general discussion II seemed to be uni-
VERBALLY agreed that the vicinity Of Bel
Air was the only suitable. or In fact
the only practicable one. where the
property could be established, and .
committee Of three was named by the
chair to take up this subject and report |
their efforts to an adjourned meeting to
be convened on Wednesday, January II, |
