Base Ball.

Rising Sun and Elkton played on
the home grounds Saturday after
noon. the boys from the county seat
taking the game by score of 2 to 1.
1t was nip and tuck all the way
through. but Elkton played a sharper
game on the in-field and took ad-
vantage of the breaks made by the
home team.
White, for Rising sun. pitched good
ball and with his in-f1e1d giving him
the kind of support his catcher and
outfield did, would easily have shut
Elkton out.
Coupled with the ragged work at
critical times, the home team gave
a lamentable exhibition or base-run-
ming when prospects were brightest
for scoring, and the game went
glimmering. Clay, for Elkton, pitch
ed in good form and was backed up
by his teammates in great style.

steamer Sinks In Canal.

While on it's way from Baltimore
to Philadelphia, the steamer Erics-
son, of the Baltimore and Philadel-
phia Steamboat Company, struck a
sunken obstruction in the Chesar
peake and Delaware Canal, near
Lorewood Grove, at 1880 a. m. Fri
day. The vessel sank to the bottom
of the canal with about two feet OF
water in its hold.
On board the Ericsson at the time
were about 65 passengers, who were
aroused from their slumber. They
were obliged to take the train at
St. Georges to reach their desti-
nation. There was no excitement on
board the vessel.
Immediately on arriving at Phila-
delphia, a survey was made to ascer-
tain the damage and patch put on

Damages For the Annoyance.

On account of a rafting and shaky
bridge in Havre de Grace, which he
claims disturbs his slumbers, and
which he alleges the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is under contract
to keep in repair are the grounds for
$4,000 Sait insitltea in the Har-
ford Circuit Court by cir. Walter H..
Havre dc Grace against the Railroad
Company. The suit was filed through
Attorney 7. Ice Cobourn. Mr.. Weber
alleges that he owns a dwelling in
Havre de Grace, and that the Rail-
road Company owns and operates
siding through the bed of st. Clair
street, said siding being below the
level Of the street. Further that
the Company is charged with the
duty of keeping in repair the bridge
over said cut cn all streets including
the brid~c over Uaion avenue at st.
Clair street, which is within Is feet
of Mr.. Wc5cr's property.
1t is further alleged that by failure
of the company to keep this bridge
in proper repair, passing automobiles
and other vehicles cause the plank
ing on said bridge to rattle and shake
and make so much noise that Mr..
Weber says he cannot sleep at night

WET TOWN ESCAPES VOTE.
Chesapeake Beach Not Included In
Legislative AT. u

1t appears that the wiliskey crowd
have put another one over on the
temperance people, as, according to
the Baltimore American, by what is
said to have been an oversight -
Chesapeake Beach, Calvert county,
was not included in the act passed
by the last Legislature containing a
list of units in which the question of
license or no license of saloons will
be voted on next fail. This over
sight has been discovered in the
publication of the proclamation by
Governor Harrington containing the
cities. counties. and towns in which
the question will be submitted. This
list includes every p1ace in Maryland,
in which the saloon is licensed and is
as follows:
Allegany county, Washington
county, Frederick county, Prince
Georges county, Baltimore county.
Baltimore city, Annapolis, Ellicott
city, Havre de Grace.
Fifth District of Anne Arundel, in
which Curtis Bay and Brooklyn are
located.
The list of twet" counties, cities
and towns, in which a vote should be
taken, was prepared by the opponents
of the original bill, urged by the
sAnti-Saloon League, which provided
a statewide referendum with sale of
liquor and under which 1t would
have been possible for the "dry"
counties of the state to vote Balti-
more and other sections "dry." Bal
timore was saved from the statewide
vote through the bill giving each
wet unit an opportunity to decide
for itself whether is would eliminate
the saloon. In making UP list of
the ''wet" areas it was thought that
Chesapeake Beach was included. It
in the only ''wet'" spot in Southern
Maryland south of Annapolis. If the
saloon should be voted out elsewhere
in the state Chesapeake Beach would
be most popular resort for the
thirsty, while it's shipments of jugs
and bottles would be upon huge
scale.

.te Board OF Health Adopts

Precautionary Measures.
The Maryland State Board Of
Health has served notice upon all
druggists and dispensers of soft
drinks that glasses in which they
have been serving drinks to their
customers must not be used after
September 1. unless they are willing
to destroy the glass after it has been
used once. AS children are great
consumers of ice-cream soda, it is
considered that child with incip-
lent infantile paralysis might. by
means of soda water glasses, spread
the disease to other children. There
fore, after September 1. paper soda
water glasses" will be in style. Any
violation of the order will make the
violator subject to fine not exceed
ing $500.
The State Board issued two travel
orders, designed to prevent the inn
portation of infantile paralysis into
Maryland, which went into effect
Aug 26. The first provides that
persons 16 years of age and under,
temporarily residing in New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or any
other state where infantile paralysis
is epidemic or unusually prevalent,
desiring to return to Maryland, must
be provided with official travel per-
NIT or certificate of the Public
Health Service. Children returning
home, even with such permits, will
be quarantined in their homes and
subject to medical observation for
IA days after the date OF their
certificate.
The second order provides that the
local health authorities may not
grant to any Maryland child, of 16
years or under, a permit to enter New
York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania,
or other states in which infantile
paralysis prevails, unless the person
applying intends to make his per-
manenu residence in that state.
Children residing in Maryland, whose
places of employment are in another
state. may be allowed to go to and
fro under limited permits. Permits
will in no case be granted when the
object of visit to a state where
infantfle paralysis prevails is in
+struction, recreation or pleasure.

Thermometer Bursts.

The heat was intense Tuesday of
last week, and to make the fact more
impressive it burst a thermometer at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M.
Wade in QuarryYiile.
The thermometer was very large
one and the suns rays in the after
noon beat down on 1t, forcing the
mercury up to the top, where it reg
istered 100 degrees, being sbeyond
blood heat The glass could not
stand the continued pressure inside
and gave way, spilling the expanded
contents.
The bulb-like form at the bottom,
about the size of mans thumb, was
covered with metal and it is likely
by maintaining the heat OF the sun
it aided in causing the thermometer
to break.-Quarryville Sun.

was the first shock (would that it
were to be the last) in their exper-

thing called license is a requisite
to matrimony. that no one in this
borough could supply them with
this ticket o. leave. ana that they
would have to journey on six miles
farther before they reached the
place where the road switches into
the main line to marriage.
A local autoist was looked up who
took them on to Elkton, directed
them to the marriage license man,
who in turn directed them to a
