STORE AND APARTMENT BUILD
ING DESTROYED

Fire on Wednesday afternoon of
last week destroyed the new two
story brick store and apartment
building in Elkton, owned by John
K Psomas, and occupied by the Elk
restaurant; and 10 cent store of
the A. T. Bayne Co., and families of
Gus Scholvas and John Norwicke,
state road officer. The building is
located on the south side of Main
street, in the heart of the business
section of Elkton.
The fire is thought to have origi-
mated from an overheated furnace,
and was discovered in the cellar of
the restaurant at about 3:30 o'clock.
1t had gained such Roadway when

patrons and employees being COM
PEELED to flee hurridly,
Practically everything In the

water, The Elkton volunteer fire
company, assisted by the Newark,
Del, Chesapeake City and North
East fire companies, kept the flames
confined to the enc building. The
stock in the store building adjoining
occupied by A. F. Stanley was dam
aged by water and smoke.
On the north side of the burning
building and separated from it by an
air space only about foot wide is
the frame building owned by Miss
Ludia Reynolds.
This building was saved from de-
struction by the effective work of
the firemen who kept a stream of
water drenching the side toward the
burning building.
The loss on the Psomas building
is estimated at $500. Schlovas es-
timated the loss to his cafe and his
home above 1t at about the same fig
ure. He is an artist and in addition
to his household furniture several
valuable oil paintings were burned.

er part Of Elkton when tie FIRE

and his family were visiting in IA,
timore at the time, 1t Is estimated
his loss will be about $500. Stan
ley's store was slightly damaged by
smoke aud water and Miss Reynolds

FOG AND RAIN RE-
MOVE SNOW
Thaw Causes High Water
And Ice Jams-Road
Damaged

Following month of record
breaking winter during February,
when deep SHOWS and low tempera-
lures prevailed, March brought us a
touch of spring, with rising temper
atures, fog and rain. The ground
had been covered with snow since
the first day of February, when
there was a ten-irch fall. This was
added to on three. or four different
occasions, high winds doing their
part in piling up the snow in big
drifts in the roads, blocking end de-
laying traffic Heavy ice formed on all
sreams and ponds.
Within two days nature put diff
ferent aspect on things. The mild
weather, fog and rain of Saturday
night and Sunday night, changed
the landscape like magic. taking the
snow and ice, by Monday few
patches only being left, where big
drifts had been.
The sudden thaw caused creeks to
rise rapidly, throwing ice GU, along
their banks, where great masses
were left, the water receding almost
as rapidly as it rose.
Ice on the Magraw dam, above
Porters Bridge, broke and went over
the dam breast with roar on Sat
urday evening. A jam occurred at
Porters Bridge, causing rapid rise
in the Octoraro creek at that point.
The rising waters threatened the
road stand of G, V. Myrick, who tel
ephoned to Rising Sun for assistance
to move his stock.
A number of men In large truck
belonging to Dinsmore BROTHERS
started for the scene, but the truck
caught fire at Richards Oak, about
mile from Porters Bridge, and the
Community Fire Company vas call
cd. Firemen with the chemical APP
paratus responded and extinguished
the flames, but the big truck was
damaged to the extent of about
$500.
Meanwhile, after depositing large
masses of ice along the creeL bank,
the water cut it's way through the
Jam at the bridge and receded al
most as rapidly as it had risen, little
damage being done.
Ice on the dam at the Cecil Paper
Mill, several miles further up the
Octoraro creek, broke up and passed
over the breast on Sunday morning,
the creek again rising rapidly, but
again receding after pushing ice out
along it's banks.
With continued mild weather, by
Tuesday there was hardly Patch of
snow to be seen on the landscape,
but several roads in this section are
still blocked with drifts, and it will
be days before they are opened to
travel
Monday night a break occurred In
the concrete roadway, on the Syl-
mar road, where melting snow from
big drifts undermined the roadhed.
The break rendered the road impas-
sable at that point and it was neces-
sary for traffic to detour by way of
Calvert, until repairs could be made.
