DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN
OF GRANTsvILLE.-Charles L@wen-
stein, Esq, died at his residence in
Grantsville, Garrett county, Md,
Monday night last, aged 48 years
and 8 months, of typhoid-pneumonia.
He had been i'll two weeks, but being
man of strong physique the issue
was painful surprise to all who knew
him. He was we'll and favorably
known in Frostburg; was member
of Heine Lodge, No. l27, I. o. 0. F.,
and only five weeks ago entered Frost
burg Lodge, No. 500, Knights of Hon
or. For his family the latter was a
fortunate step, as by it they will re-
ceive two thousand dollars within
ninety days. His wife and seven
children survive him, the latter mostly
grown, among them A. Lewenstein,
Esq, merchant tailor, of this place.
A large number of Odd Fellows and
Knights of Honor of the lodges named
attended the funeral Thursday at
Grantsville. The long line Of car
riages on the National Road reminded
old jewellers somewhat of ancient
stage days, while the bright regalia
and glittering badge delighted eyes
unused to the pomp and circumstance
of fraternal tribute to the dead. The
burial services were conducted first by
Rev. J. P. Wilson, chaplain, in accord
ance with the K. of II. ritual next by
Rev. DR.. ]. Ruhl with the 1. o. o. F.
ritual. At the German Lutheran
Church Rev. Mr.. Young, pastor, held
appropriate funeral services, Mr.. l..
having been a member. The deceased
was good citizen and highly esteem
ed for many solid virtues. His loss
will be keenly felt in Grantsville, par
ticularly by the family to whom he
gave husbands and father devotion
A GARFIELD MONUMENT ON DAN s
RocK-A Patriotic Movemeat.-The
proposition to build a monument to
the memory of President Garfield on
Dams Rock meets with general favor.
AS movement designed to be wholly
non. partisan it possesses number of
inducements for popular support.
Besides the erection of an enduring
testimonial to the Presidents ability
and heroism, it will furnish an artis-
tic and patriotic feature of attraction
to an already far-famed but negl ected
resort. Some such adornm emit is i'm.
peratively needed at the Rock-some-
thing to invite ornamentation of sur
roundings and establishment Of
grounds. The surface at the western
base is admirably adapted to the pur-
poses indicated though rugged it is
level for sufficient area to make it a
spacious, smooth and handsome park
However, the way to begin is ID
Begin If there is solid wish in
spring the people to bury the bitter
ness of sectional differences and party
rancor, we have been assured that
this day provides the time and this
proposal the opportunity for CON-
mon, generous and patriotic NANTES
tation of that desire. And now,
while the memory of the Presidents
