LAND-Am Inspection Fostponsd.-
Governor Hamilton, Mr.. Barnes
Compton, treasurer of the State, and
MFR. Thomas ]. Heating, State comp
troller, have postponed until Friday,
April 90, their proposed trip to Cum
berland, Md, to investigate the effect
of granting the petiticn of the Georges
Creek and Cumberland Railroad Com
pany to allow that railroad to cross
tn, Baltimore and Ohio track in Cum
berland, SO that a junction could be
had with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal.
In the contract of 1873, made be-
tween the Baltimore and Ohio Rail.
road Company and the State, it was
stipulated that in case the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad dissented from any
point of crossing selected by other
railroads desiring to reach the canal
basin in Cumberland the issue should
be determined by the board of public
works.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
officials say that the Georges Creek
Company could not have found in
Cumberland more dangerous or OBJ
structive point to the business Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and that the
crossing in question, if allowed, will
damage their business considerably.
On the other hand United States
Senator German has written to the
board favoring the proposed crossing
saying that it will be an important
feeder TO the coal trade of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal.
1t is also said that the George,
Creek road could not cross at any
other point except at great cost.

To thy dark and narrow home;
In thy manhood's pride and bloom, b.

In the city of the dead
We have lain thy weary head,
Lain thee in thv bed of clay
Till the resurrection day,
In this calm, secluded spot,
Thou dost lie but not forgot;
God is watching DER thy clay
Till the final Judgment day.
Here where freezes gently wave,
Chanting requiems DER thy grave;
Here where flowers sweetly bloom,
Shedding fragrance round thy tomb.
Thou art gone, We kiss the rod,
Sent us by our Father God,
And would say, through thy dear Son,
Not our will but "thine be done"
Fare thee well, we hope to meet,
And in one communion sweet,
Join with thee to part no more,
On that bright celestial shore. ***

Can it be, yes, It's SO, poor Murphy is gone
On the journey We all have to go;
No more will we ever see his young form
In this world of sorrow and woe.
A good-hearted boy IN Patrick was found;
He's missed by lis friends, young and old
Who worked with him in the mines under

But his name we will cherish like gold.
The miners of New Hope will never again
See the face they had all learned to love,
And we as body of good solid men
Hope the boy gets good place above"
Yes, this isour prayer, thou Infinite God,
For HIM thou hast taken away,
And laid in the grave beneath the cold sod,
To sleep till the great judgment day.
The poor aged mother remember her too,
Who is quite broken down for her boy I;
How dearly she loved him every one knew;
But his death took away all her joy
And his sisters that loved their brother so
we'll
And his brothers who mourn his death
deep
Their sorrow is more than my pen can tell,
Good Lord, put their sorrow 10 sleep.
