MARYLAND'S VOTE
SENT in WEDNESDAY
Electoral Certificates Received In
Washington By Vice-President
Marshall.

William j. Albrecht, president of
the Maryland Presidential electors,
and Charles j. Taylor, their accredit-
ed messenger, left Baltimore at 1890
Wednesday for Washington, taking
with them the electoral certificates,
irregularity in the preparation and
transmission of which has jeopardized
this States vote in Electoral College.
Mr.. Albrecht said that the certif,
cate is in due form and that the con-
tainer has now been properly indors-
ed. President Marshall gave
The Maryland electors until o'clock
Wednesday to have the certificate de-
livered in due form.
Though the whole procedure is not
in strict accordance with the provis-
ions of the law, it seems hardly pos
S BILE that any Irregularities will re-
suit in having the States vote thrown
out when the canvas is made Febrl.-
ary 9Th by the House of Representa-
'lves and the Senate. Objection to
any vote may be made by Repre-
sentative or by Senator, but the
throwing out of the vote requires the
concurrence Of both branches of Con-
gress.
Maryland's vote is accordingly re-
garded as safe, though the letter of
the law has not been complied with.
The law requires that the certificates
shall be prepared in triplicate, each
copy to be accompanied by the ere.
dentials of the electors. One copy is
to be mailed to the Vice-President as
President of the Senate; one copy is to
be delivered to him by authorized
messenger, not later than the fourth
Monday in January, and the third
copy is to be transmitted to the Unit
ed States District Judge-in this case
Judge Rose.
A dispatch from Washington We'd
nesday said that Vice-President Mar.
shall has decided to accept the re-
ceipts of Maryland and other States
which failed to comply with the law
and submit them to Congress Febru-
ary 9th. 1t will be up to Congress TO
accept or reject, he says. Senator
Smoot of Utah, one of the delinquent
States, will introduce bill exempt
ing the messengers from payment of
the $1,000 fine.

Accident Occurs While Blasting For
New Road Bed Approaching New

Two men are still suffering as a
RESULT of an accident which occurred
in Somerset comfy, near this city, on

construction at this place. BY some
means a dynamite cap exploded un-
awares and in the mixup Mr.. Edgar
atkinson, son of Mr.. Charles Atkin-
son of Duolin district, was burned
about the face and suffered consider
able pain. while George Wise, Jr.,
oolored, had the misfortune to have
enc of his eveballs punctured. Dr..
Sartorius WAS summoned at once and

Surrey of The City
Is Now Being Made

The State Board of Health, which
seems to have entire control of all the
municipalities in the State, has stated
t" our authorities that before any
further improvements can be made in
our town a survey of the unimproved
sections must be made and plat of
the same filed with them for their in
spection before they will grant any
further improvement. In order to be
in position for any improvement that
rnay be desired. the Mayor and Coun-
Gil, at a recent citizens meeting, were
instructed to have said survey and
plat made and furnish the Board of
Health. In accordance with this in
struction the authorities employed
Mr.. Francis Dryden to do the work
and this week he has been making the
survey. We have been asked number
of times what the surveyor was doing
on certain streets. This article will
answer the question.

Frer11en's s Supper
To Be Big Success
MATTERS ADJUSTED
AT CITIZENS MEETING
Committee Reports On Sixth Street
Improvement. All Obstacles Are
Removed.

The Citizens Meeting held in the
Municipal Building on Monday even
ing last proved to be very interesting
and like the one a few weeks ago was
largely attended. The meeting was
called for the purpose of hearing the
report of the committees appointed
Is look into the matter of the propos-
ed improvement to Sixth street. 1t
VII be remembered that the State
lizard Of Health held up the improve
laent, declaring that it was absolute
v necessary for the sewer system to
be laid on the street before the con-
crete work could be put down by the
State Roatls Commission. A COM
rittee consisting of Messrs. E. James
Tull, Francis NJ. Wilson and E. w.
Veasey was appointed to go before
the State Board of Health and see f
matters could not be adjusted so that
the work could proceed without fur
ther obstruction. This committee per-
formed their task we'll and were ready
with their report at the meeting.
Without going into detail the re-
pert was to the effect that if the road
cr street was staked out wide enough
to permit Of the laying of the sewer
after the concrete work was done
without affecting the concrete, the OBJ
lection would be withdrawn, provid-
ed, however, that lateral lines were
rut in at certain distances, under the
street, to provide for any buildings
on the opposite side that might here
after need the sewer system.
The reasonableness of this propo,
sition was readily seen and it was
then agreed to make the street 80
feet wide instead of 20, and to lay the
Cross lines as requested. The street
will be resurveyed and in doing so all
the requirements can be met ant'
things will move along smoothly. And
with it all everyone will be much
more benefited. The widening of
the street will not only add to the
beauty of the town but all of the
property owners along the promi-
nent thoroughfare will see their be-
l1ngings enhanced in value to a very
large degree.
We were certain that if the matter
was handled in the right manner it
could be properly adjusted and the
authorities are to be congratulated
upon the way they managed the
whole affair.

Soccer Team Defeats Denton
In Last OF Series Games At
Salisbury Friday Last.
WILL PLAY FOR STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP TO-DA

All hats off and congratulations to
the Pocomoke City High School SOC
Ger team. They defeated Denton, 2
to /, at Salisbury on Friday of last
week for the Eastern Shore champ
ionship in the Statewide soccer tour
nament being conducted by the p
lie Athletic League, and as a nayl5
"f consequence they will be in Baltfg
more today to scrap for the State
championship game.
In reporting the game the Balti-
more daily papers state that although
the Dentonians displayed a better
forward line than Pocomoke, their
back field kept entirely too far be-
hind their forwards and the exchange
Of kicks was generally to the advan-
tage of Pocomoke City. Both goal
keepers played strong game and
many brilliant plays kept down the
score. Pocomokc City had the strong
er hooters.
The last game in the State sched-
u!e before the championship contest
was played on Wednesday last, when
Barton and Sparrow's Point met at
Patterson Park, Baltimore, to COM
pete for the Western Shore champ
ionship. The winner of this game
will play Pocomoke City today at Pat
terson Park for the State honors.
Sparrows Point was the winner ON
Wednesday of the Western Shore
championship and they are today
competing with Pocomoke City in
Baltimore for the State medal.
The boys of the Pocomoke team arc
to be congratulated upon their great
record. They have made for them
selves a name in the athletic circle of
the State and it is not only a credit
to them and the High School but to
the town as well. AS they battle this
afternoon for the State honors the
minds and hearts of all Pocomokians
will be with them and tho absent in
person many of our people will do
some strong roofing. We wish them
q pleasant trip and more than all we
hope they will come home with the

Indications Are ThotE Will Be
Greatest Event OF Its Kind
EUer Held Here.
TOWN CANVASSED THIS
WEEK FOR DONA TIONS

The talk of the town is the Fire
mems Supper which the ladies of the
various churches of the town are tC
serve in the basement of Bethany NJ.
p. Church on Thursday evening next
the Sd of February. This is a mat
tel in which every citizen of the town
is interested by reason of the fact
that they are directly interested in
the Fire Company. This being the
case everyone has been boosting the
enterprise the past wcel. and unless
all signs fail it will be the largest and
best patronized affair of its kind ever
staged in Pocomoke City. The ladies
have gone about it in real earnest and
everyone knows that they will do
their part nobly. Professional men,
business men, laboring men, all have
responded literally to the appeals
that have been made to them and
they are talking up the enterprise in
fine shape. Ever the children, boys
and girls, have joined the ranks and
are advertising it at school and on the
streets. In fact all attention is turn
cd to this important event and every
thing is over except serving the sup
Fer and counting the proceeds.
The ladies who have the matter in
charge have requested US to state that
in oredr to avoid the rush they will
sell tickets in sections, the first sec
ton to be served at 5. 80 and the sec
end section a. 615. This does not
mean that you cannot be served at
any time, but it is thought that bet
ter service can be given if the section
plan is observed to some extent at
least. They also wish to emphasize
the fact that no suppers will be sent
out on this occasion, because of the
rush of business expected.
We promised in our last issue to
give the menu this week in order to
sharpen up the appetitcs of our
readers. We believe it will do it; so
here it is:
Oysters, Fried and Stewed
Gold Ham Chicken Salad
Biscuits, Rolls
Jelies Pickles
Tea Coffee
If you have not already done so, Sc
cure your ticket, it's only rs cents.
An orchestra will furnish choice mu-
sic during the entire supper hour.
You can't afford to miss it.

MAN O'WAR GOES
TO OLD KENTUCKY
Famous Runner Leaves His Berlin
Stable And Is Now Resting In
The Blue Grass State.

Mr.. Samuel Riddle, owner of the
famous running horse Man O'War
has shipped the noted runner from
his stables near Berlin, this county,
to Kentucky. In all the splendor pos
sible he left our county the first of
the week and is now in the blue grass
State. This wonderful horse has at
tracted more attention than any
steed in recent years. The fact is that
the entire country is proud of his
achievements and none share in the
pride more than the people of his
home county of Worcester.
Joseph J. Quinn, a noted "turf"
writer, had the following account Of
transfer in the Baltimore Sun of Sun
day last. We reproduce it so that OR
people may know what other people
think of "Man O'War," the pride of
Worcester. 1t follows:
"Man O'War leaves Maryland to-
cay. The great horse soon shall have
gone. To sunny pastures of the Blue
Grass State the noble steed is on his
way. The proud prance before the
snapped-up barrier, the flying hoof-
beat mid thunderous applause, the
hot breath, heaving fanks and fleck-
ed foam of stirring races that won for
him a worlds crown soon shall pass
from memory. They did not help
champion the hero. They were but
light touches to the picture of the
horse as he ran his race for glory.
"No more shall Man O'War lift
thousands to their feet. The last fes-
toon was hung when his hoofs came
to stop with Sir Barton conquered.
From now on his descendants must
follow in his beaten path, but hardly
dare excel. The name of Man O'War
shall become great, or greater, than
Rock Sand or Fairy Gold. Renowned
strains ever are spoken of with pride
Trenton and Bright Eye of the rae
ing pigeon world, Thornley, Tige and
Storm King of English coursing
bounds. So shall the name of Man
O'War spell speed and staunchness
nobility and worth, to those who list
to hoofbeats in the sport of kings.
"ManO'War will pass through Bal
timore tonight on his way to Ken
lucky. He has been here before.
Pimlico has seen his coat glistening
like polished steel on sunshot after
room in May. He won the Preakness,
but it was not race, only perform
ance. Those who saw it will not for
get.
"Then, too. the great horse has left
Maryland before, but to return. The
echoes of his triumphant races were
flung back. Never had he turned away
forever. This is the farewell. The
dust from the mad dashes at Belmont
and Saratoga hardly have settled
when the prince of horses must turn
his eyes upon his only happy hunting
ground. Down there in clover he will
spend his remaining days.
"a ship sent to port after its maid
n voyage, meteor stopped in its
airing upward flight, seems no more
u.ldreamt than ManO'War led from
the plaudits of the multitude to the
hush and peace of Kentucky pas
lures. A stroke none too well accom-
plished is whispered. But there may
come winning scions of the Man
O'War stable. Sam Riddle, the own
Ell of the cherished king, knows hest.
