JURY FIND VERDICT OF ACCI
DENTAL EXPLOSION

A Coroner's jury at Elkton, after
hearing evidence in the connection
with explosion at the Victory Fire
works & Speciality Co., plant on June
4, whereby Mrs. Cecilia McNabb lost
her life, found that she came to her
death in an accidental explosion"
The effect of the jury's verdict,
reached after hearing testimony for
an hour and forty-five minutes, was
to exonerate the company of any
blame in the explosion in which Mrs.
McNabb was fatally injured and a
dozen hurt.
The jury heard employees of the
factory testify that the clogging OF a
Cherry salute" was common oc-
currence. The explosion occurred
while Robert Harmon, foreman, was
removing a clogged salute" from
the machine. ~
Harmon testified he used only his
hands, and no metal implement to
remove the explosive. Several girls
who worked in the factory bore him
out on this point.

ELECTRICAL STORMS

The heat wave of the latter part
of last week and fore part of this,
when the mercury climbed up in the
tube as high as "a degrees, was eff
feetually broken on Tuesday evening
by one of the heaviest storms of the
season
Monday evenings gust was of
short duration, and did not seem to
cool the atmosphere to any great
extent, but Tuesdays storm was a
prolonged one, and brought a big
drop in the temperature. 1t broke
over this section between two and
three O'Clock in the afternoon with
violent electrical discharges, high
wind, hail and heavy downpour of
rain.
The high wind did considerable
damage about town by blowing down
several trees, tearing off branches
and causing breaks in telephone and
electric wires.
After partially clearing in the late
afternoon, the storm broke again in
the evening with renewed fury and
heavy rainfall, continuing until late
at night
Much damage is reported in this
locality by our farmers through bad
ly washed corn fields, while fields of
growing wheat we're fiattened to the
ground, as though roller had
passed over them.
The heavy rain made torrents of
every stream. The Octoraro creek
went on rampage, sweeping out the
fine, newly-constructed dam of the
Boy Scout Camp, at Horseshoe Farm,
northwest of town, and tearing up
the roadway along the creek, leading
to the Camp. This road was being
graded and graveled and put in first
class shape, and is sorry sight now.
The dam was some distance up the
creek from the old paper mill dam
that was swept out last year. Work
ON the new structure had just been
completed, the dam backing up the
waters of the Octoraro for more than
a mile, the beautiful lake formed
being one of the Camps most attrac-
tive features, providing splendid
boating, ETC. Its loss to the Camp is
a serious one, financially and other
wise.

Struck By Lightning

Ralph Barrett, aged Is, son OF
Clifford Barrett of near Colora, met
instant death on Tuesday afternoon,
about 1880 O'Clock, while standing
near a tree in the yard at his home.
His mother, who was standing near,
talking to her son when the bolt
struck, was not injured and felt only
a slight stinging sensation.
At the approach of the storm the
lad had driven the horses and calves
TO shelter and returned to the house
but the storm had not yet broken
when the bolt struck. The lads
death was instant.
An examination of the body by a
physician revealed marks on the
breast and leg. Some bark was torn
from the tree, and there was small
hole in the ground made by the
lightning, but little to show the
deadly force of the bolt that struck
young Barrett.
He is survived by his parents, two
brothers and two sisters.
Ralph was a first-year pupil at
Rising Sun high school.
Funeral services will be held al
the home on Friday afternoon at
200 O'Clock.

WORK PROGRESSING ON NEW
PHILADELPHIA ROAD

The bridge over Winters Run on
the new Philadelphia road is entirely
finished, and the overpass above the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks
is "ninety-five per cent" finished, the
State Roads Commission reports.
Four other bridge projects are well
under way. The entire work OF
grading and drainage for the new
highway, from the Baltimore city
line to Havre de Grace, is sixty per
cent completed, according to r. M
Reindollar, assistant chief engineer
to the commission.
N'The rest of the work will be COM
pleted by the end of the summer
months" he said. ''No surfacing con-
tracts, which call for the concrete OF
macadam parts of the road, will be
let until next summer, however.
1.-THE grading and drainage work
must be allowed to settle throughout
the winter, so that it will all be
firmly in place when the surfacing is
put on.
From what I can see, Maryland
motorists are going to have an excel
lent piece of highway when this job
is DONE"

Sent To Penitentiary

DR.. H. c. Zimmerly, 81 year old
Lancaster county, Pa, physician, was
sentenced on Friday in the Lancaster
Court to serve seven and one-half to
10 years in the Eastern Penitentiary.
The physician was convicted by
jury of performing an unprofes-
sional operation which caused the
death of Mrs. Gladys Lawson, Cal
vert, Md.
He came into court and pleaded
guilty to similar operation on Miss
Elsie Miller, II, of Rising Sun, Md,
and admitted two of four charges
against him of violating the narcotics
laws.
Judge Benjamin c. Atlee imposed
sentences of 312 to years in the
death of Mrs. Lawson; III to 8
years for the operation on Miss
Miller, and 2h to years for the
narcotics violations. Zimmerly also
was fined 800 in each case.
Richard Parker, the doctors handy
man, appeared in court and pleaded
guilty to the narcotics charges
against him. Parker was States
witness at the trial. Sentence was
suspended.
The jury of workmen and house
wives reached it's verdict after debat-
ing for less than four hours the
weird tale told by many witnesses.
Zimmerly's trial came to an abrupt
end late Thursday when the State
closed its case and the defense rested
without offering testimony.
Defense counsel had attacked the
scientific testimony of States wit
nesses who said that bone fragments
found on Zimmerly's farm were those
of woman. These fragments, as
we'll as a 50-pound lard can partly
filled with a fleshly substance; cloth
ing identified as Mrs. Lawson's, and
saws found after the State contend
ed the body was hacked in an up
stairs room of the doctors home,
were carried into the jury room when
the jurors began their deliberations.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FILE
COMPLAINT

Political storm clouds lowering
over the State Roads Commission
moved into Cecil county this week
bringing court action by the Board
of County Commissioners over the
dismissal of Joseph T. Richards,
county roads engineer.
There already have been Demo
cratic protests in Washington and
Worcester counties, where the roads
body has ousted scores of Demo
cratic workers in what appears to be
a PANIED program of Republicans
ing the highway forces throughout
the State
1t is reported drastic cuts are con-
templated in Wicomico, Somerset
and Dorchester counties.
The Cecil county storm broke
when Rolph Townshend, district
roads engineer at Chestertown, sew
eral days ago notified Mr.. Richards
of his dismissal. The County Com
missioners filed an order of COM
plant with the Circuit Court at Elk
ton and secured the ruling that the
State Roads Commission must
answer the order ON or before next
Tuesday.
All of which serves to recall the
old saying-''to the victors belong
the spoils."
