Renewal of the Erie Troubles and Canal Board Turmoil
Reports describe the destruction of the Harbor Creek line by a highway commissioners order and a bridge on State street being torn down amid snowball and stone clashes with Judge Miles and Sheriff Vincent. Gen Seth Clover retires as Canal Commissioner. Col Henry Mott assumes office for three years as canal board politics loom. A Detroit sentence of fifty years for Baker, 18, involved in a store burglary and attempted clerks shooting, projects a release near 1905. A large rock blast on the North Pennsylvania railroad buries and injures ground, while a witty remark about waiting for chaff to blow away precedes a comment on a neglected beauty group.
