A slight fire al the nome of Mr.
James Andrea. Race street, last
night about ten o'clock, caused con-
siderable excitement The fire was
around the f1ue and was extinguish-
ed by Mr. Andrews before the Fire
| Company arrived. The boys, how
ever, made record time in getting up
town, and were on the spot so quick
ly that fire would have stood a
mighty poor chance, even if it had
got well started.
There are today reported twenty
| five new cases of influenza, seventeen
of which are old cases, just reported,
and eight of which have just devel-
| oped. The increase is believed to be
due to the weather conditions and it
is hoped that with the return of clear
weather there will be very notice
able decrease in the number. The
cases at present are widely separated
and there is no indication of an cpl
demic of the disease, provided the
proper precautions are observed.
On account of the New Years reso-
lutions, a great many people cannot
find words strong enough in which to
express their opinion of the prevail
ing steamboat service between Cam
bridg and Baltimore. Twenty years
; ago there was enough business in
Cambridge for three lines to operate
successfully, within recent years the
. present company has found it neces-
sary to send additional boats daily
in order to handle the business, but
! with the business increased ten-fold
the service has been reduced to three
times a week, and with all of the
! anxiety of Baltim dreams for a bridge
across the bay, so far as has been
/ heard, there has not even been q
protest against cutting down practi-
cally the only means of commune
, cation between that city and the lar
gest freighting and passenger route
on the Eastern Shore.
