JoURNALIsTIc.-C. h. Litchman,
we'll known here as the editor of the
Essex (Mass } Statesman, is also asso
ciate editor of the Journal of the
American Legion of Honor.
Three gentlemen met in the Balti-
more Sun Iron Building last week.
One turned out to be Mr.. 0. @. Ware
hime, the new proprietor and editor
of the Frederick Union the second
Mr.. G. E. Haddaway, editor of "two
papers, both weekly"-the Easton
Ledger and st. Michaels Comet, and
we'll, no matter. Both named are
handsome, elegant gentlemen.
Since the above was put in type
we are enabled to supply the omission
by quoting the following from the
Ledger:
The editor of the Ledger had the pleas
ure OF meeting In Baltimore last week MIR.
j. b. Oder, of the Frostburg MINING JOUR-
NAL, and Mr.. Warehime, who has recently
purchased the Frederick Union. Our
brethren from the mountains look robust
and hearty, as if the world was using
them well.
PoLITIcAL.-The convention which
assembled in Frederick Wednesday
nominated Louis E. McComas, of
Washington county, as the republican
candidate forCongress. The frat bal
lot was not completed and he was
nominated by reclamation.
Hon. Wm. J. Read has written a
letter accepting the republican nomi-
nation for Chief Judge.
The democratic primaries will be
held next Wednesday evening
throughout the county. But little
intsrest is manifested. In Frostburg
the meeting will take place in the
Council Chamber.
The Rockville Advocate is the first
paper to hoist Mr.. Blair for Congr ess
TELEPHONE. - The Cumberland
NeaUs says ian experiment was sue
cessfully made few days agoi in testing
the telephone between that city and
Baltimore, distance of l78 miles.
The voices came clearly and distinct,
as did also the sound of a small music
box. The tunes were easily recog-
nized."
The same paper reports the extern
sion of line to Bottle Run. though
"the work has been somewhat re-
tarded by the transforms. A line
has also been con structed to the
Koontz mine, Homecoming"
THREE MINE ADMINISTRATIONS
Cation and George Denmark, drivers,
were squeezed" between cars, and
Thomas Landlord, miner, had his foot
badly mashed by fall of coal, all in
New Hore gnins Monday. Cation and
Denmark's hurts are not permanent ;
Landlords loss is serious. DR.. Jones
amputated the big toe. The bones
of two other toes were broken, but
the doctor thinks they can be pre-
served.
THE oonspi cuous appearance OF b.
Stern & Cos advertisement would al
most obyiate an invitation to scan it.
On the part of the proprietors it
evinces determination to keep
abreast with all rivalry in qualities,
styles and prices of fashionable mer-
chandiss. So that, after reading the
advertisement carefully, it will doubt
/
less pay to examine the goods.
