FIRE AT PAPER MILL

A threatening fire occurred at Mar
ley Paper Mill, near Childs, on We'd
nesday night of last week. The
mill is now owned by Smith
Brothers, paper manufacturers, of
Baltimore. A large amount Of baled
scrap paper and pulp, probably seven
ty-fiye tons, recently shipped to the
mill was stored outside, some feet
from the mill building. This was
discovered to be on fire between and
10 o'clock at night. The flames had
gained considerable headway, and
there was danger the mill building
would catch fire, The Elkton Fire
Company was summoned and quickly
responded, quenching the flames be-
fore the fire reached any of the
buildings. The supposition is that
the paper had been burning several
hours before the fire was discovered,
as the paper was quite wet from the
recent rains,

TRACK MUST BE RAISED

The construction of the new dam
across the Susquehanna river, above
Conowingo, preliminary work on
which is being done, will necessitate
the relocation of fifteen miles of
track of the Columbia and Port De-
posit railroad.
The company recently had engi-
neers visit this territory to obtain
estimates for the construction of the
new road. The work will present a
difficult engineering problem. AL
most the entire Is miles must be
blasted out of solid rock. In addi-
tion to the bed for the relocation of
the road, at least two bridges about
500 feet long will be built.
Building the new track and remov-
ing the old track to the new bed will
cost more than 100000. The
plan is to begin at Port Deposit and
work northward to about Haines,
Pa. This, it is said, wiz elevate the
track at its highest point 10 40 feet
above the old road bed and will put
it beyond danger point Of being
flooded by the backwater when the
proposed dam is constructed.

LETTER OF OMAR D. cRoTHERs
To THE DEMocRArIc VOTERS OF Cecil

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF CEc1t
COUNTY:
This letter is directed to the Demo-
cratic voters of my home County.
through the papers. for the reason that 1t
will be impossible for me to see you all in
person on account of the time 1t has
taken to make canvass of other Coun-
ties in this Judicial Circuit.
AS you probably know, announced
myself as candidate for Associate
Judge at the coming primary election at
the solicitation of large number of citi-
zens. and having entered the contest, and
being the only candidate from this
County, am naturally anxious to have
the support of the people of my County,
whom have served before Ia positions
of trust.
l have never betrayed any trust you
have reposed in me, as my record for
two terms in the Maryland Senate will
show. notwithstanding some accusations
that are now being made against me for
political reasons. My record there may
be found summed up briefly in the Chris
tian Citizen, newspaper devoted to the
interests of moral legislation, in its issue
of June 10Th, IoIS:-Ioo per cent right on
all moral questions. This in answer to
said accusations.
In reference to the Judgeship. the
lower Counties of this Judicial Circuit
now have two Judges residing there. who
have twelve years yet to serve. If either
Mr.. Heating or Mr.. Legg is nominated.
they will have all three, and Cecil
County will remain without a resident
Judge, and with no possibility of secur-
ing one for at least twelve years.
If you feel that our County, which is
the largest, the most populous, and the
wealthiest. with by far the greater
amount of legal business, Is entitled to
have a resident Judge. your support Is
socilited, and will be sincerely appre-
ciated. and in so casting your ballot, you
will be giving to your County only that
to which it Is rightly and justly entitled.

ninth inning on two hits and sacrifice.

er's battle. Foster allowed three hits while
Shanner let the Sun boys down with FIVE.
Both pitchers were in fine form, and both
received sensational support, there being
plays on each side that will long be
remembered by the fans from both
towns.
Just al Elkton batsmen faced Foster in
the first 8 innings. He had perfect CO
'trol and great assortment of curves.
Shanner was as good as ever and had
perfect support behind him.
The real feature of the game was Q
head long dive in left field by G. Dunbar
which possibly robbed Robinson of q
three base hit. Several other fine catches
were made by Patton, Coyle, Rothwell
and Rawlings.
The game was hotly contested, cleanly
played and witnessed by large crowd
and it is plain to be seen what teams il
takes to fill the stands.
These teams have met four times this
season. each club having won two
games, and the sth and deciding game
will be played in Rising Sun some time
about the middle of October. when Hert

of the leading pitchers of the American
League. will twirl for Rising Sun. The
date of this game will be announced
later. The score;

TWO YEARS
 WITH BROKEN NOSE
Yet Carl TreIlaine Did Not Know
 What Was Wrong

If you had a silver in your finger you'd probably know about it, wouldn't you?
 And if your nose were broken In two places the possibility is you'd be conscious of at least slight annoy anee.
 And yet
 We'll, Carl Tremaine, until recently foremost challenger for the bantam weight championship was fighting Frankie Genaro, fiyweight in the Madison Square Garden arena. Tremaine had a weight advantage of four full pounds-an important consideration in a bout between little fellows-and the experts expected him to win without trouble. Tremaine hit Genaro with many full shots to the jaw and midriff--shots of the sort that had stopped Frankie Mason. Johnny Curtin, Jack sharhey and other formidables. But these Genaro.
 Tremaine began to puff audibly about the fourth round and his man. ager, Jimmy Dunn, plainly provoked, took him to task between rounds.
 The trouble with you, Tremaine," :" said Dunn. 'is that you haven't been training. You're putting like q wind ed fat man, and that shows you are not in shape"
 Trcmain was putting, The fact that his blows were having no effect on Genaro seemed to be further evidence of his poor shape. Tremaine protest ed that he had trained faithfully, and the other members of his staff bore him out.
 Well, then, what was wrong?
 After the fight--one of the worst lights Tremaine had ever made--the fighter was subjected to a physical eN- animation, and the mystery was re- ycaled.
 Tremaines nose was broken in two places.
 More astonishing still, il had been broken for two years.
 And neither Tremaine nor his man. ager, Dunn, knew anything about if.
 This naturally explained why he ''puaed," also why his blows lacked steam.
 TFemain's nose Was broken two years ago by Joe Bnrman in a phila- delphia ring. The Chicago bantam cracked the Cleveland Ganuck on the smeller with Il left hook and dropped him for the first time in his career.
 The blow landed high on the bridge Of the nose. and broke file supporting bones on either side, thus blocking almost completely the nasal air pas- sage.
 Tromaine was conscious Of his in- ability to breathe freely but attribut- trd the condition to what he supposed was cold.
 For two years he fought with his nose broken in two places--a feat that bespeaks great courage, if not vast mentality.
