AN ERROR followed by misapprehen-
sion, that deserves an explanation, occa-
sions us to say that 1.-The Mcchanicstown
people" have been unfairly judged by
those who have jumped without reason to
the conclusion that the changes in the fhre
from the three stations east of us, for Sat
urday's excursion, made in ink on the
posters, is evidence that said additions
were made by 1.-The M.chanicstown people
and for their own benefit"
In the first place even tolerably inform
ed persons know that the rates at which
tickets are sold, arc fixed in the Baltimore
office of the railroad company and this fact
alone should suffice fer the purpose in
hand, but to make the cause of the written
changes perfectly clear to all we will state
that the entire fault lay in this office.
We had been informed that the schedule
would arrive at n stated time and 1t did not
40 arrive; we had the entire poster in type.
and on the press, with the figures OF the
time and fare only, to fill in; we had 9th
er posters promised for the next day and
the Outside" of our paper to print, so, in
order to get the Use Of the press we risked
the time and fare as it was given on last
wears poster and missed it and that is all
there is of design or anything elsc crooked
in it,
Since writing the above we arc inform
ed that the com. have secured rates from
Rocky Ridge, Logs and Graceham ut fifty
cents. Children half rates from all points

BASE BALL.-The third and deciding
game of three will be played today on the
Mt. st. Mary's College grounds between
the Blue Stockings of Emmitsburg and the
Red Stockings of this place. An interest
ing and closer game than the one played
here on the Fourth may be expected as
we learn that the former nine has been
materially strengthened, while our home
nine has by practice, much improved them
selves in playing.
A challenge has also been received by
our boys from nine at uniontown, IL II
expected that the latter will visit tins
place to play the first game. As yet no
arrangements have been made to play the
return game with the Westminster bows.

noon last. Lewis, son of &. j. SiSmund OF
this town. was stricken with commissions

til the following afternoon when he died.

tic attacks for number of yeare, but I'M
iii the attack which caused his death, they

territy and had the full sympathy of our
people for the misfortune of his dread dis
ease,

in this place on Saturday morning, large
