to the workhouse. Rouse. who is
about 10 years of age, was employed
on the farm of Edward T. Pleasanton
at Summit Bridge. On Saturday De-
cember %, Mr.. Pleasanton and his
brother started On a shopping trip to
Mlddletown. Rouse was with them,
hut left at Mt. Pleasant, saying he
would spend the time with his parents
who lived there. The Pleas antons
went to Middletown and bought their
Christmas goods, and on their return
home found that their home had been
entered and that two new suits of
clothing, which had never been worn
a rifle and a pistol were missing.
Rouse, who had not appeared, was
suspected, and hunt was made for

showed him the pistol, and that he
had taken it from him knowing that il
belonged to Pleasanton. Rouse was

FIGHT THREE DOVER FIRES
Two of Them Were Slight, but the
Third One Damaged a House

Three fires within six hours was
the record made at Dover Wednesday
night from 6 O'Clock to midnight.
The first fire occurred at the home of
Mrs. Clara C. Massey on King street,
shortly after 8 o'clock. Considerable
damage was done bv smoke, and water
from the chemical engine. The Sec
ond fire was at the Bayard House on
Loockerman street, at IL o'clock,
caused by the chimney catching fire.
No damage was done. The third fire,
which resulted seriously, was at one
of the new houses erected by the late
Charles M. Scott on North Bradford
street, recently tenanted by George
T. Maxwell, who moved from the
house Thursday Dec. 81. Just how
the fire originated is not known unless
it was from a defective fiue in which
small fire had been kindled during
the day by parties who were moving
into the house. The house was badly
damaged by the fire from the rear as
we'll as the entire roof being almost
completely consumed. To add to the
troubles of the fremen but little pres.
sure could be secured from one of the
plugs from which a stream was used.

ROW OVER UNCOMPLETED
ROAD NEAR MIDDLETOWN
FARMERS, TRAVELLING PUBLIC
AND CONTRACTOR INVOLVED
The Road Between Middletown and
CeciIton Left Unfinished and Some
Arrests are Also Talked of

A merry war is being carried on in
the First district of Cecil county,
Maryland between the farmers and
travelling public in general, and a
Philadelphia contractor, who has the
contract for the construction of a
piece of road one and one-half miles
in length, between Middletown and
CeCiltnn. When the work began the
road was fenced off and traffic was
turned through the fields of the abut-
ting farms. Bad weather and an
enormous traffic soon made the fields
impossible, and it was a common oc-
currence to see dozen teams and
automobiles stalled at one time. Tir-
ing of the difficulty of travelling under
such adverse conditions, the farmers,
after work on the road seemed to be
abandoned for the winter. took mat
teIs in their own hands and tore down
the fences at each end of the un
finished highway. The contractors
rebuilt the fence; again it was torn
down; then the contractors hauled
stone and piled it in the middle of the
road. and placed the steam rollers at
each end of the road. The stone piles
were leveled during the following
night, and the steam rollers were fired
up and run off to the side of the
road. Arrests are threatened by the
contractors and prosecution is threat
ened ny the taxpayers on the grounds
of broken contract. The blame is laiC
Iat the doors of the county com
missioners for not either awarding
the contract earlier, or holding it ovel
until next spring. The same condi
tion existed in the same neighborhooc
last winter, when a Philadelphia
company left mile of graded roat
unfinished and travellers were compel
led to wallow through mud all winter
