WILL NOT BUILD DAM.

Much space has been given re-
Gently in the public press to the
building of another dam in the Sus-
quehanna river, near Conowingo.
The Bel Air Aegis has the following
to say concerning the project:
Sensational reports which have
appeared in the press recently have
led some people to believe that a
mammoth dam will be built across
the Susquehanna at Conowingo at
an early date. An interview with
persons connected with the project
discloses that such a move Is only
the dream of ambitious writer's,
"The Conowingo dam has been in
the making for many years and
probably would have long since been
a reality had not the World War
upset the financial world. Today
loose ends are being gathered up
again to make the way clear when it
is feasible to build. but there is little
or no hope Of work starting In the
near future"

NARROWLY ESCAPE DROWNING.


Lad and Rescuer Break Through Ice
The North East Star gives the fol
lowing account of a near-traged,
that occurred in that town last week
A thrilling and near-tragic rescue
from watery grave occurred short
ly after noon last Monday, wher
Nelson the 10-year-old son Of Robert
Pugh, returning from school, thought
to test the ice at the big bridge OF
Main street. The ice gave way
under him, and he went down into
water over his head, probably sil
feet deep.
Ernest McKewen, Of Wilmington
who drives the big truck of the Bush
Line happened to be passing with
his truck just at the time Of the mis-
hap,-stopped and hurried to rescue
the drowning boy. Crawling out on
the ice he had just grabbed the lad
when the ice gave way precipitating
the rescuer into the embrace of the
icy water. Young Pugh twined his
legs and arms so tenaciously about
his rescuer, that he too was in grave
peril, and both would have gone un-
der had not others who happened
along at the time thrown them a
life line, and pulled them to safety.
Young Pugh was hurried to his home
and McKewen was taken to the res
idence Of Robert Peterman, where a
change of clothing and warmth re-
stored him to normal conditions.
The act of McKewen is of the
kind which for promptness and great
risk in saving life calls for the bst
slowed of Carnegie Medal.
The Wilmington papers on Thurs
day reported that McKewen was con-
fined to his bed, threatened with
pneumonia,
While skating on the Susquehanna
river on Sunday, Leroy Smith, 12-
year-old Havre de Grace boy went
into an air hole, close to a pier of
the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge
and would have drowned, had it not
been for the heroic perseverance OF
Dale Currier, also of Havre de Grace.
Young Currier was standing on the
shore about 100 feet away from the
spot where the accident occurred.
Upon seeing the Smith boy go under,
Currier ran across the ice and went
In after him. Currier fought the
swift tide and ice and managed to
reach the planks showed out by
others who went to the aid of the
boys.

ELECTION BILL UNDER FIRE.
Office Holders Howl-Bin To Amend
Marriage Law.


Protests by various Office incumb-
ents against having their terms di-
minished by one year and warnings
that the fewer elections measures
promised by the Democratic party in
its platform at the last election
would prove harmful to the party's
interests caused Governor Richie to
call the leaders-in council. The con-
ference was to meet at the Cover
nor's Office in the State House
Thursday afternoon.
The Governors action came as the
result of a prolonged discussion or
the features of the elections bill
which has encountered much oppo-
sition from both the present Demo-
cratic officeholders and party leaa-
ers. The former object to the pro-
vision of the bill which cuts year
from the terms of Office of the in
cumbents SO as to provide for the
election of their successors on the
Congressional year and not on the
off-year, as at present. In brief, the
fewer elections bill, as proposed by
the Democratic party and drawn by
Philip Perlman, Secretary of State,
provides for elections every two
years instead of every year.
Intended to make it more difficult
for runaway couples to take advant-
age of Maryland's now famed "Gret-
ma Green" at Elkton, bill has been
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Cantwell, of Cecil county, amending
the marriage laws of the State.
Senator Cantwells measure re-
quires that one of the contracting
parties to whom a marriage license
is issued must be a bona flde resi-
dent of the State and provides that
II neither party lives in Maryland
the Court clerk cannot grant the IL
cense until after 48 hours from the
time application is made.
The bill is directed particularly
against elopers from Pennsylvania,
Delaware, New Jersey, New York
and other nearby States, and has
been framed with special care to
work no hardship on residents Of
Maryland.
Two other bills aimed at marry
ing parsons are to be introduced in
the House by Delegate Joseph, OF
Baltimore city.

MRS. MARY ELIZA FLETCHER.


We have received copy Of the
Acton, (Mass.,) News, containing
notice OF the death of Mrs. Mary
Eliza Fletcher, formerly OF this SEE.
tion of Cecil county, where she spent
her girlhood, and where a number
OF her relatives and friends still re-
side.
Mrs. Fletcher had for years been
subscriber to "The Midland Jour-
nal," and always looked forward to
its coming, as the one link that con-
nected her with her old home. The
following is from the Acton News:
Mary Eliza, wife of Aaron Jones
Fletcher, died at her home on Mar
tin street, South Acton, Mass, Tues
day, December 20, at the age Of
seventy-six years, eight months ana
four days.
MRS. Fletcher was daughter of
Levi and Rebecca Jones Purner, and
was born at Fairfax, Va, on April
Is, 1845. The death of her father
when she was but one year old ana
that Of her mother which occurred
thirteen years later, leaving her an
orphan at the age of fourteen, she
spent the remainder of her girlhood
days in the care of her grandmother,
a Quaker, who lived at Calvert, Nd.
I'm 1856, at Calvert, Md, she
was united in marriage to Aaron
Jones Fletcher Of South Acton, who
was at that time young construc-
tion engineer, engaged in building
the P. w. and B. bridge across the
Susquehanna river at Perryville ana
Havre de Grace, (now used as We
hicular bridge.) The following
three years were spent in various
parts of Maryland, wherever Mr..
Fletcher's line of work happened to
call him.
1T was in the year 1869 that she
came with her husband to make
their home in South; Acton and pur-
chased the residence on Martin St,
which has been their home continu-
ously, since that-time. Mrs. Fletch-
er was woman of strong, sterling
character, of genial temperament,
kind neighbor,, loving wife and de-
voted mother and urselfish to
marked degree While her chief
interest was centered in her home
and family, she was interested in
the welfare of the community, being
a member of Magdalene Chapter, u.
E. S., the Ladies' Union and Mayn-
ard Woman's Club. For the past
few years her health has been such
that it was impossible to attend the
meetings Of these organizations,
though her interest was ever mani
fest. Her passing is deeply regret
ted in this community, where she
will be missed by large circle OF
friends. The funeral services were,
held at her late home on Saturday
afternoon, and were conducted by
Rev. William F. Dusseault of Bos-
ton, former pastor of the Universal
list church In this village. Besides
her husband, Aaron j. Fletcher, she
is survived by two sons, Harry A.
Fletcher of Cambridge, Charles j.
Fletcher Of South Acton, and two
daughters, Mrs. Florence F. Charles
Of South Acton, and Mrs. Jennie F.
Adams of Concord Junction; also
five grandchildren: Harold and
Katherine Fletcher, Robert F. Char
les, Fletcher p. and Leonard X.
Adams. Her remains were laid at
rest in the family lot at Mount Hope
cemetery

SNOW BOUND.
Heavy Snowfall and High Wind
Block Things Up.

ASA~AA AAAA-~E9S r.
Buried Under heavy blanket oi
snow that was swirled about by the
wind and piled into big drifts every
where, this section has been strug-
Cling hard to restore semblance OF
order in traffic by road since Satur.
day, when the heaviest 24-hour
snowfall in the half century of his
tory of the Weather Bureau, blew in
on driving hurricane and tied traf-
fic up almost completely. 1t is
thought about eighteen inches OF
snow fell, although it was difficult
to make any accurate measurement
on account of the drifted condition
everywhere.
Starting late Friday night, it con-
tinued showing until late Saturday
night, Sunday dawning upon a snow
bound landscape.
BY getting out the snow plow Sat
urday, this division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was kept open to
traffic, but the evening trains were
some hours late in battling their way
through. The Sunday morning pas
senger train was also about two
hours late, but the regular schedule
was again working by night.
On our public highways, however,
different tale is to tell, and our
farmers have been working hard to
dig their way through in order to
reach town with their milk and to
transact other business.
But one or two teams reached the
Sharpless Co. plant in this town,
Sunday, with milk.
w. X. Bird, Of Meadow Rock
Dairy, mile or so west of Rising
Sun, reached town about noon sun
day, to supply his customers, being
forced to go through fields to do SO.
Most of our citizens spent a goodly
portion Of Sunday clearing their
walks, so that by the middle Of the
afternoon it was possible to get to
every section of town without wad-
ing through deep snow, and plunging
through drifts.
Monday the farmers were out In
all directions, digging themselves
out and helping their neighbors.
A force of several hundred msen
has been at work opening up the
drifted sections OF the State road,
and they are many and deep, since
Sunday, with the result that by
Wednesday night it was possible to
travel from the State line at Sylmar
to Bel Air, and on Thursday the
road was open clear through to Bal
timore.
Business was almost at a stand
still on Monday, but is rapidly get
ting back to normal.
Our rural mail carriers have been
able to cover only portions of their
routes, but with the assistance of
those whom they were able to reach
have managed to get mail to the
snow-bound ones.
This has been storm to make
the "oldest resident" sit up and take
notice, and will give the present
generation chance to tell about
"back in January, 1922" in years
to come.
