"A petition is being circulated to Sc
cure the executive clemency towards
James Shields, sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary on tho charge of petit lar
oency at the October term Of Cir
cult Court. The petition says: "Mr.
Shields is poor man, one who labors
for his living and the sustensnce Of his
family Ia wife and nine children
mostly girls.) Besides being in feeble
state Of health ne is crippled to a con-
siderable extent. We understand that
his Imprisonment is greatly impairing
his naturally poor health, and would
therefore earnestly urge your Excel
lency to extend your executive clemen
cy to this unfortunate man." The
petition further recites the fact that
prior to the offence OF which he was
convicted Mr.. Shields had been a man
Of honest actuations.

Close of the Public Schools. The
public schools Of the county closed
Tuesday. There were no special ex-
ercises at ours here. The week previous
WAS spent in thorough examination
of the whole school, and on the last
day certificates Of grade were issued to
those who had passed successfully.
AS it was the purpose of the principal
to grade the school more sharply than
ever. the percentage Of those who pass
ed WAS not great. One Of the most en-
eouraging features Of the examination,
however, was the large number who
were admitted to the 7th grade. 1t has
been the special aim Of the principal to
build up this department Of the school.
Starting two years ago with only q
handful Of pupils and some OF the best
material in town going to private
schools, this department has been care
fully handled until tho term next year
will begin with fully forty students.
Having laid a solid foundation in
English and mathematics, large class
in Latin will DO established in the fall.

Prtn.ary Elecsioxs.-The democrat.

Prtt'sary Elections.--The democrat
ic primaries to elect Ave delegates from
each district to the county convention
to be held to-day in Cumberland, took
place Thursday throughout the county.
In the two Frostpurg districts some
dissatisfaction with the hours "A to p.
M WAS manifested. IN No. IL, owing
to the distance Of many voters from
the polling point. the State central
committee for the county extended the
time from 10 7:30.
In No. IL the following ticket polled
an average Of rs votes: J. B. Oder,
Patrick Donahue, WI. Cooper, C. T.
Barnard, B. Stern.
The following ticket polled 3s votes ::
William Grimes, George Meyer, John
Tlppen, John Wambach, Thos. Kelly.
In No. IL there were several tickets,
the following being elected: W. H.
Price, Charles Murray, James Walsh,
Michael Finn, William Hawthorn.
At the expiration OF the time named
in the call the judges and clerks in No.
IL counted the ballots, announced the
result and adjourned. The friends Of
the defeated ticket re-opened the polls
and received 9 more votes-all cast for
their ticket closing at 7:30.
It is understood a contest will be
made in convention to-day against the
seating of the delegates who will be
returned elected on the grounds that
the shortness of the call and the I'M
reasonable hour kept away 40 votes
who otherwise would have been pres

dieates close contest, and at this
writing it is difficult to state which #
tho two factions will control the con-
vsntion to-day.
