prugged At Havre de Grace.

Horace McClane, a section hand
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
taken from GiHigan's train at OK
ford, Saturday evening, in coma
tose condition and taken to the Oak
wood Sanitarium, where he did not
rgain consciousness until three
o'clock Sunday afternoon. There
was every indication that he had
been drugged and the fact that his
watch was missing from the chain,
rave color to this theory. McClane
himself substantiated the story by
stating that he was at Havre de
Grace and had taken not more than
three drinks and started for the train
for Rising Sun, where his home is:
He remebers absolutely nothing after
getting on the train. At Rising Sun,
he was sound asleep and even at
Oxford station the conductor could
not get him off the train and was
forced to take him back to the yard.
Then the ambulance was sent for
and he was taken to the hospital
He is employed as section hand on
the Eddystone branch of the rail-
road, leaving Rising Sun on Gilligan
every morning.--Oxford News.

FLAMES SWEEP ABERDEEN.
Eight Buildings Destroyed--Frozen
Water Plugs Handicap Fire
Fighters.


With the main water plugs in the
town frozen, thus hindering the work
of the volunteer firemen, part OF
Aberdeen's business section was
swept by fire early Tuesday morn
ing, causing loss of fully 100000.
Starting about four o'clock in the
rear Of the meat store of w. N
Adams & Son, from, 1t is thought, a
caldron used for rendering tallow,
the flames quickly consumed the
frame building and spread on both
sides. The buildings were of frame
construction and in few minutes
the blaze was beyond control.
A watchman of the Pennsylvania
Railroad discovered the blaze and
gave the alarm. The towns fire
apparatus was hurried to the nearest
water plug, but it was frozen up.
Further down the main street, across
the Pennsylvania Railroad track was
another plug. From this a good
flow of water was obtained and be-
fore long single stream was direc-
ted on the blaze. BY this time the
stores of William Silver & Co., cam
ned goods brokers, and of Henry
Faring & Son, hardware, had caIight.
In the meantime word had been
sent to- the proving ground for help.
About $50 soldiers responded to the
call, bringing with them several
chemical fire engines. With the
help of the soldiers the blaze was
under control after three. hours hard
work, but not until the general mer-
chandise store of Hanway G Gibson,
the postoffice building, including
Odd Fellows Hall and the Masonic
Temple above, the harness store of
L. s. Slade, the Office of A. H.
Osborn, real estate; S. L. Fryle's
meat market, and H. o. WINS drug
itore had been burned also.
The greatest handicaps the fire.
fighters encountered was when the
hose line across the railroad tracks
wice was cut in two by northbound
trains, which failed to heed the
'ignal to stop.
Dynamite was used in great
quantities in an effort to stop the
rapid course of the blaze and helped
check it somewhat until the soldiers
arrived.
Residents are loud in their praise
of the work done by the soldiers, and
had 1t not been for the arrival Of
these men the main portion of the
town would have been wiped out.

Want Truck and Bus Licenses
Repealed.

That the heavy motor trucks and
passenger buses are damaging the
homes Of Bel Air residents as they
pass through the town, and asking
for revocation Of licenses for the
operation Of these trucks, is the sum
and substance Of three separate
petitions filed with the Public Ser
vice Commission in Baltimore. The
petitions were signed by Rev. John L.
Yellott, rector of Emmanuel p E.
Church; Rev, A. B. Hallock, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, and
Misses Annie I. and Mary D. Win
chester and Mrs. E. P. H. Harrison.
The .complainants reside on Main
street and Broadway in Bel Air, and
assert that on account of the tre-
mendous size and the high rate of
speed used in operating the trucks
and buses, their houses are being
damaged in many ways.
The truck and bus companies men,
toned in the petitions are: Mcmahon
Brothers, Biddison Bros, and Domi-
nick Rossi. The petitions state that
on account Of the illegal. rate of
speed they maintain while running
through Bel Air, as we'll as their
large size, the lives of the citizens
are endangered and the walls of
some of the residences are beginning
to crack as result of the heavy jar
occasioned by their passing. The
licenses of the three companies will
soon expire and the Public Service
Commission is asked not to renew
them.

EARLY ADVANCE WAS FOLLOWED BY LATER
 DROP ON CROP NEWS
General List, However, Bol- stered Up, Closing at a Net Advance of 15 to 27
 Points on the Day

New York, October s2.-An early ad- vance on somewhat lighter ginning figures than expected was followed by declines after the publication of the governments crop report in the cotton market today After selling off from |s2.9Scs to $3215c, however, December rallied and closed at 32 soc with the general list closing steady at net advance of 15 to 27 points
 The opening was rather irregular at a decline of [ points to an advance of 10 points, but the market very soon firmed up O nthe census report show
 ing 3,719,915 bales ginned prior to Sep tember 25, against 2,5l1,65S last year. and 40S1,9 9S9 two years ago.
 Active months sold about 35 to 3S
 points net higher before the end of
 the first hour with October touching 33 soc and January 33,S0c. This bulge imet increased hedge selling, however, land While the governments condition report had no immediate effect Of con sequence offerings became heavy to-
 ward midday. The selling was ac- |companied by reports of an easier spot
 basis in the south, and there was feeling around the ring that the in- creased crop indication might have disappointed southern holders
 Prices broke sharply with stop loss orders uncovered on the decline, which carried october off to S2.S0c and Jan uary to 3202c, during the early after noon, or 25 to 55 points net lower The market was steadied at this level by trade buying and rallied later on cov- ering which appeared to be influenced by the favorable war news. The gov ernment report placed the condition at l54 4, compared with 557 last month and the indicated crop al 11,S1S,O00 bales, |compared with II 137 900 the end-August indication, 12,047, 900 the endSeptember indication of last year, and 11,637 900 at this time two years ago. Local trad CTS had expected very little deteriora- tion for the month and consequently some increases in the crop reports as compared with last month.
