Train Service Irregular.

So frequent are the delays in train
service along this division Of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad that it is a
matter of general remark nowadays
when a train is on time. Break
downs and wrecks the past week
have caused delays Of several hours.
On Friday afternoon last the 1853
train was something like
an hour and half late and on Tues
day morning the 7:4S northbound
train was more than two hours late.
The latter delay was caused by a
bad freight wreck below Port De-
post when fifteen cars were piled
up in a heap, tracks torn up and
a great deal Of other damage done.

Cupid Finally Triumphs.

Mr.. Gustave Hofer, who is EN-
ployed by Mr.. Albert B. Twining, OF
Forest Hill, as dairy foreman, and
who came from Germany about four
years ago, recently announced his
marriage to Miss Elsor Nier, of Sax
ony. Miss Nier landed in New York
recently and was met by Mr.. Hofer,
the couple coming to Baltimore,
where the nuptial knot was tied.
They are now happily domiciled on
Mr.. Twining's farm.
The bride who is quite attractive,
was not without her privations due
to the war, before she was finally
able to leave the confines of Europe.
She travelled from Germany through
Holland, to Falmouth, England
where each passenger was searched.
A large number of photographs of
members of Mrs. Hofer's family,
several of whom are officers in the
German Army, were taken from her,
as was also her sheet music on
suspicion that the music notes were
in the nature of codes.-Bel Air

Race Track Men Still Quarreling
Over Privilege To Pluck The
Puh1ic

Judge Duncan has signed an order
in the Circuit Court at Towson
whereby the Baltimore County Rae
ing Commission will have to show
cause by March why permission
should not be granted for racing
dates at the new Bengies track by
the East Baltimore Driving Associa-
tion.
It was only after two unsuccessful
attempts were made for dates that
the East Baltimore body finally de-
cided to take their fight to the
courts. Application for license
was first refused on December 21 of
last year. On or about January of
this year a rehearing was granted
the officers of the new association at
Towson, and their application for a
license was again refused.
The East Baltimore Driving Asso-
citation has already acquired some
90 acres Of ground at Bengies on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and expend-
ed a large sum of money for survey
ing, grading etc.

TO RESTOCK OUR MARYLAND
WATERS.
Susquehanna Shad To Come From
California.


When shad eggs were first hatched
at the Battery, shad were unknown
on the Pacific coast. In those first
years shad fry were shipped from
Havre de Grace to San Francisco,
and now the California waters are
prolific of this splendid fish. 1t is
proposed that shad eggs or spawn
be now sent to the Chesapeake Bay
from the Pacific waters, and plans
are said to be now under way to
make such shipment. The long
shipment will necessarily cause
many of the eggs to lose their fertil-
ity, but as they were shipped from
the East to the West, there is no
reason, why their shipment from
the West to the East should not be
equally successful.-Republican,
Havre de Grace.

Susquehanna River To Furnish
Motive Power.

The officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company are looking for
ward to the electrifying of their
road. 1t is proposed to make a con-
tract with the Pennsylvania Power
Company for electric current when
the new plans shall have been work
ed out and installed. The great
demands upon this company for
electric current, with constantly in
creasing uses of electricity, have re-
vived the talk of constructing a dam
across the Susquehanna River at
