EARLY last spring very graceful
act was performed for the editor by
some unknown friend. Although
seeking diligently to ascertain his
identity this was accomplished only
very recently. His name is Herman
Kroll, one of our industrious and
solid German citizens. Besides this
grateful reference to his name and
deed we shall not forget him should
occasion to serve him ever offer.
New RAILROAD MovEMENTs.-The
Georges Creek and Cumberland rail-
road engineers are surveying a mar
row. guage route from Vale Summit
to Dams Rock, and the NeqUS says:
Mr.. Nathan Loar, our genial county
commissioner, who is engaged in success
fully running line of vehicles from Pom
pey to the rock, has decided to begin
shortly the erection of a hotel near the
observatory, to be ready for use next sum
mer. The exact design of the building is
not yet decided upon, but it will DO large
enough to accommodate a number OF Visl-
tors. Mr.. Loar has discovered and is now
improving fine spring on the summit of
the mountain, about $50 yards from the
cliffs, near which the building will proba-
by be located. Mr.. Lear is a man of en-
ergy and means, and will doubtless furnish
excellent accommodations to those who
avail themselves Of the fine scenery and
bracing uir to be found ON this lofty point.
A new passenger locomotive, weigh
ing forty tons, has been received by
the company and will shortly so on
the road. The time between Cum
berland and Homecoming will be short
ened from an hour to forty-fge min
utes. 1t will be known as mo. g..
The Times describes it as follows:
The driving wheels are fifty inches in
diameter. The cylinder is eighteen ia
ches, with twenty -four.inch stroke. The
engine has also the improved Westing-
house automatic bake and is especially
designed to make quick time wi h perfect
safety over the steep grades and sharp
curves of this road hence The use of the
brake referred to, which is also attached
TO the passenger cars, is self acting and
can be opened inside the CIR if nece ssary.
POLITICAL PERsoNALs.--The canal
presidency appears to hang between
L. G. Smith, of Washington, and J. 7.
M. Raley, of st. Mary's counties.
The election will be held next Thurs
day.
In all probability Mr.. W. ]. Rsad,
republican, Of Cumberland, will make
the race for the Chief Judgeship with
Judge R. Fl. Alvey, democrat, Of
Hagerstown. Mr.. Edward Stake, Of
Washington county, may, however,
contest honors with Mr.. Reed in con-
vention.
For Associate Judge William Mot
ter, democrat, of Washington, will
doubtless be renominated, though it
is said, Mr.. j. W. Veitch, of Garrett,
aspires to the place. On the republic
can side the choice is narrowed again
between Mesars. Read and Stake.
Should Mr.. Read be nominated for
either place it is not likely the next
republican nominee for Congress can
come from Allegany. Besides it is
