on his Imagination 10 an unwarranted ex.

been appointed before the. resolution in
question was offered, the chairman had not
announced who constituted said commit.
tee. majority of the Committee on Res.
olutiors, or at least those who met for con-
sultation, would have recommended its
passage if a vote had been taken on that
question; but by mutual consent, we
agreed TO submit il TO the association with
out such recommendation. The committee
did not refuse 10 recommend its passage.
For the truth of this statement ] refer

committee, whose names do not now re-

facts when writing for the press. His rea-

DEER PARK, ND, August 16.-Ex-Presi-

Bessie Sharpe, their niece, and several
friends, arrived here last night in the pri.
vate car OF Vice President Garrett, OF the
L. d O. road, which had been placed at
their disposal at Long Branch for the trip.
While here the party will be the guests of
Hon. S. B. Elkins. They expect to remain
about two weeks. The party was break
tasted at Cumberland by ex Congressman
Lloyd LoSndeS, together with a distin.
guished party of gentlemen of that vicin.
ity. A large crowd OF citizens also gather.
ed al the depot and paid their respects to
the ex President and party. Large crowds
slSo assembled at Keyser and Piedmont 10
greet the party. At the latter place Col
onel T. B. Davis, general manager of the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail-
road, and other officers of that road
were introduced TO General Grant.
This is the road which Is be-
ing constructed by ex.Senators II.

Proposition 60 Change the Name or

Special to the Register.
CRANBERRY August 16.-A meeting OF
the citizens of Cranberry has been called
for tomorrow night to consider the feasi-
bility of changing the name of the town.
The movement is due to the fact that there
is every probability Of a summer hotel be-
ing built here in time for next season, pro-
vided the title Of Cranberry is relegated to
the past, and positive knowledge that this
posed enterprise will never be carried out
if the name is not changed. Cranberry,
fror. the original Salt Lick postoffice, has
passed through the field OF nomenclature
as Cranberry Summit, Portland, and Gran
berry, and in the minds and habits of the
residents Of the interior it is still asso-
ciated with and known as "Ghe summit"
For this reason the name OF Summit City
meets with considerable favor, but other
titles, among them Allegheny, Noun.
tain City, Mountain Top, Portland,
etc, have been proposed. Summit City
meets with favor because it retains por-
.ion of the old name is a dignitied title
and possesses an element Of local and topo.
graphical distinction.
The B. & 0. r. r. Co., through Mr.. Spen-
Ger, second vice. ce.p-esident, have agreed to
change the station to conform with any
new name which may be adopted for the
town. The meeting will be large one,
and action will only be taken by popular
vote and afte- deliberation. When decided,
if any change h made, ii will be final. The
position of those favoring the chance is ac'
tuated solely by desire to assist in the
material growth and the progress of the
town and section and is assumed at the
sacrifice of local traditions.

Among Employees.

AMSTERDAM, n. y, August l6.-Excite-
ment runs high at Canajoharie, owing to
the nightly appearance of a ghostly, mys.

The night watchmen say that

the light goes bounding down the track,
and again rises thirty feet in the air. Sew
eral trains, including the Atlantic express,
have been stopped by the light, believing it
10 be a danger signal. 1t appears about

fast mail.
Fifty persons lay in ambush in the vi

the matter, but the light did not appear,
