CUMBERLAND, June 90, 1888.


To the MINING JOURNAL:
Since my last letter Cumberland
has been brought into prominence at
Hsgerstown by the suit for damages
brought by Mrs. Catharine McGirr
against the Pennsylvania railroad
company in Maryland, which termin-
ated in a verdict for $4,000 damages
for the plaintiff, and also the suit of
Mrs. Polly Twigg against Mr.. Jacob
Ryland for damages, alleged to have
been sustained by the bite of vici-
ous dog, which resulted in disagree
ment by the jury which stood 6 to 6.
The latter case is said to have been a
very interesting one.
In regard to railroad companies
who are sometimes made to pay dear
ly for their carelessness, as in the case
of McGirr vs. the Pennsylvania rail
road company In Maryland which was
lately decided, would it not be well
for our City Council to enforce the
ordinance against fast trains passing
through our city Every day the
law is violat ed by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company, and nothing
will be done by our city authorities
until some terrible accident takes
place in the neighborhood of Polk
and Bedford streets, where the trains
pass by at rates of from ten to twenty
miles an hour at the risk of life.
The travelling correspondent of the
Baltimore american it seems has re-
turned home after furnishing his pa
per with political hash from Garrett
and Allegany counties, which was
oulled from interviews held with a
few politicians who favored Major
Alexander Shaw for Governor. Prob
ably if Major Shaw lived in Allegany
county he would stand some show of
getting the nomination. Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes will most likely be the suc-
cessful nan before the convention, q
prof. able fact which the travelling cor
respol dent seems to have overlooked.
AS far as the republicans being unde-
oidsd between Hon. Henry W. Hof-
man and William ]. Read, Esq, for
Judge, as he says, there seems to be
almost unanimity in favor of Mr.. Hoff-
man, although Mr.. Read is very
clever gentleman and did remarkably
well last fall, considering the strong
candidate he had to oppose him.
What pity that Hon. VIM. Walsh
could not be induced to accept the
appointment of Judge, and also the
nomination at the hands of the DEM
ocrats He would no doubt roll the
full strength of the democratic party,
and would be acceptable to both par
ties if elected. For the good of the
democratic party in Garrett, Allegany
and Washington counties, Governor
Hamilton ought to tender The ap-
pointment to Mr.. Walsh, and then
let the democrats nominate and elect
him, which will help the balance of
the ticket and probably elect several
members Of the House Of Dsles sates.
If republican is to be elected Mr..
Hoffman will suit the people as well
as any republican they can find in the
circuit. He is old enough to com.
nand respect and dignifed enough to
fill so honorable position.
1t is to be hoped that the new
Judge, whoever he may be, will make
a change in the complexion of our
juries. During the past ten years we
have noticed the same class of raen
put upon our juries about once a
year, whose character aud disposition

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The HEBREW TRIAL IN HUNGARY.
The cable dispatches tell of trial
in Hungary in which whole Hebrew
congregation are arraigned for the
murder of christian child. A witness
is produced who swears that with his
own eyes he saw the girl slain and
her blood mingled with the passover
bread. The mob OF the town believe
the story in all its horrible details,
and are calling for vengeance upon
the shedders of innocent blood. Every
now and then in the midst of this
nineteenth century come old sup erati-
tion turns up as fresh as ever, and we
are surprised to find that some belief
that We had supposed had vanished
away from the earth and was only pre-
served in the pages Of old books as
ancient armor is kept in museums,
still has its followers. Weeds are more
hardy than useful plants, and religious
intolerance and superst ition survive
the centuries. In 1883 tale is re-
peated that was told by pagan enemies
of the early Christians eighteen humid
red years before, only the Christians
are now the accusers and the Jews
the accused.

RAIN AND HIGH WATER Damages to
Property and Crops.-The heavy rain
which fell in Jennings, Eckhart and
Wills valleys Monday occasioned
quick rise of the cracks which ira.
verse them. At and below Mt. Saw
age the water suraed down the stream
in great volume, carrying away
some of the G. & P. company's trestle-
work near Bsrrelville. The trains
wereunable to 80 through until yester-
day,when the repairs were completed.
AT Corrigansville and Lafferty's the
county bridges were carried away
and the county road below Barrelville
was badly damaged. In districts IL
and Is all the bridges on tt otter's
run road wero taken, as also the large
bridge on Scrub Hill road. Two or
three bridges on private roads near
William Parker's residence suffered
the same fate. West of Frostbsrg
the rain was not so heavy and no
damage sustained.
On the farms in the territory indi-
Gated considerable injury was done to
the hay and growing corn by washing.
Nessers j. j. Arnold, Morris Porter
aud William Epgle suffered in this
way. In and around Frostburg the
hillside gardens were considerably
washed.
