Editor FIOr1dian: The storm Saturday night
unroOfed about half the houses in the city, blew
down trees and did much damage to shipping.
AT Tybee nearly all the houses were blown or
washed down or damaged. One house took fire
after it fell, and Mrs. Wolf and child and Mr..
Folks child was burnt 10 death. The wharf and
tramway were swept away. On the plantations
and along the river the loss of life will probably
be over one hundred.

For years we have predicted the
injurious resu to accrue from the I'M
wise policy adopted by the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad towards the Cumber-
land coal trade. We are now seeing
our pre- diciions realized, CT about to
be. This railroad made its FIRST mis-
take in assuming the burden Of the
Consolidation Coal Company, and
then acting as though its interests
were opposed to the interests Of the
other mining companies. Had a tib-
eral policy been pursued, the Cumber-
lard region would to-day be produc-
ing at the rate Of 100000 tons Of
coal per annnm. and the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad would be carrying
pearly all Of it at remunarative rates
of toll. But, as ruin faced tho other
mining companies, il becams necess-
any, for self-preservation, to get adj
ditional independent outlets to mar
ket, and, as result, public spirit came
ITO the front, and the Georges Greek &
Cumberland Railroad was built and
is already delivering to the Pennsyl-
vsnia Railroad, for traashipinent at
Philadel hia, 1000 tons per week,
with the prospects of soo1 increasing
this quantity to 10000 tens. Every
possible obstacle has been put in the
way of the Georges Creek & Cumber-
land Railroad to prevent it making
connection with the Chesapeake Il
Ohio Canal; but the public sentiment
is so strong that this can not be de.
layed long; and then, with the err
largement of the locks on the cana,
which was approved at the annual
meeting of the canal company, and
with the adoption Of the best modes
of haulage, which is making rapid
progress, the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road will see an important portion OF
its trade slip from its selfish grasp

A CHANCE RHYME.
BY JAMES MCALLIsTER.

Old England can boast Of her poet laureate,
Tennysou, believe is his name
Well, Frostburg has several poets, you bet,
That are worthy of some little fame.
The first will name is n friend to the poor
That all kinds of misfortun, have 10 endure
Their untimely fates he does sadly deplorc,
Which shows he's wel-tLiuking man.
His poem on the men who work under
the ground,
Throughout this whole region its fame
does rcsounG,
For every word of il is solid and sound,
And his name il is Charles Sullivan.
The next is a friend to the men in the mine,
Whose name through this country does
brightly shine,
To do good when he can he will never
decline,
His motto is Never Surrender"
He daily endeavors 10 form a good plan,
To try to bring forward the just rights OF
man,
To assist and do good he will If he can,
Captain Shine, the bold labor defender.
Orc day while out sporting, Dame Whis-
key saw,
| stepped up to her with spirits all aglow,
And thought would deal her terrible
blow,
Thinking that the stroke it would end
her,
When Rough Rab appeared with his clay
more and shield
And completely he routed me out of the
fled,
l was placed hors du combat and forced to
yield
To Rough Rab the whiskey defender.
Each time that gave tried hard for to
parry,
But they came in so quick-he seemed in
great hurry,
And fully determined to make me his
quarry,
My muse she was sick, "divil mend her :"
Dame Whiskey did smile, was loath to
beholdcr,
was badly tcat as honestly told her,
For each blow that got came right from
the shoulder,
OF Rab the bold wLiskey defender.
So if I could claim as an old friend of mine,
Either Sullivan, Rab, or the bold Captain
Shine
Their teachings I'm sure I'd never decline
Until in poetry should advance;
They may teach me end show me the way
for to do it,
For friends, one and all, would have you
to know it
never considered myself as poet
But only a rhymor by chance.

suspended November 7th, has been

The Territorial legislature having
refused to support the Seattle high
school, sometimes called the Terri
torial University, Henry Willard has
promised to donate the necessary aid.
That is good action, and will, we
hope, finally lead to the release of the
whole Territory being compelled to
support any pet school of any one To-
cality. There is no justice in such
support, and it is fraud upon the
taxpayers of the balance of the Terri
tory.
