The Mansion House.-Preparat1ons
for visitors are nearly complete. The
house has undergone since our last re-
port complete renovation. Plaster
ing, whitening, papering, staining,
securing, carpeting, mating, upholst-
ing and furnishing have made old
things new, and lent an air Of fresh
ness and comfort throughout de-
cidedly attractive and home-ike. A
new and ample range, in connection
with other and like additions, appear
to finish the establishment to the taste
and desire Of the most exacting. The
proprietor, MIR. n. S. Frost, and his
family have done an immense amount
Of work and expended considerable
money upon the Mansion. Everything
in the way Of improvement shows that
nothing has been spared to provide
pleasant home for guests. To make
assurance doubly sure he has engaged
Mrs. K. c. Brown, of Washington, D.
c., q lady Of refinement and large ex-
perience, to take charge of the internal
management of the House. This lady
arrived Wednesday and will at once
devote herself to the proper entertain
ment Of guests, Of the coming of whom
the prospect is flattering.
The JOURNAL, never inclined to
overstate, believes implicitly that no
better summer home for the overwork-
ed and tired city dweller can be found
than Frestburg, and no domicile in
Frostburg more solidly and permanent
ly attractive than the Mansion House.
A recent writer in the Cumberland
Times presents description with
moro graphic force than we can:
Year by year is this blessed mountain town
gaining favor with city people who desire tc
spend the summer away from the dust, flies,
vulgartty and plated-ware pretense Of the big
watering places. Already l believe there il
notan available place in the town that is not
pre-empted for the season. Recently Mr.. N.
s. Frost has fitted up the old Frost mansion
for the accommodation Of summer people.
Surrounded by a green flame Of trees, with c
noble sward in front, it is Just the place fol
rest. Then there is a spicy tonic in the al,
that ID o veritable balm of Gilead, and the
resinous breath, of the pines in our beautiful
drives about town will heal lungs half hack
cd upwith consumption. Altogether, among
the everlasting hills you will never set foo,
upon y place That will ssrve you better for o
months soiourn than Frostbury. r.

Sir,
Will You permit me to supplement my
letter in your issue of the 10th instant on
the sanitary condition Of our Towns with
the following significant bit of information,
viz: that, subsequent investigation by the
Police has elected the astounding fact that
in the little Town of Frederiksted alone
there are kept bettceen 6 and TOO hogs /!
Fancy such a condition Of things in any
civilized community, but especially in a
small tropical village! An the worst of
it is that the evil has been allowed to 60
on so long, and to relch such dimensions,
that now it is very difficult to remedy it.
Even under the pressure of actual epid Amic,
if such should visit Us, how are the
Authorities who lave sanctioned the
practice for 80 many years, and quietly
conceded this privilege to any of the
population who chose to avail themselves
OF it, now to turn short upon them, and
order the removal or destruction of all this
property 1t is certainly a difficult task
that The POwe. s that be have thus created

To the Editor Of the "St. CrOir Apis."

Sir,
On Friday evening last at about Z O'Clock.
when we were all happy i'll the enjoyment
OF that peaceful and quiet life which has
caused strangers TO remark that We are a
living grave yard, We were unconscious
that at that time a tragic scene had been
enacted in almost the centre Of the town,
which resulted in the loss of a good and
useful man among rs. 1t SET med as if the
sad news reached uS all stimuli aueouSly, as
III q very few minutes the town presrl ted
% scene of excitement which is seldom
witnessed, and when it was known that
the murderer was WIN. HENRY LUCAS,
and his victim CHARLES THOMAS, public
sympathy was as generally and genuinely
expressed for the sad fate of thu latter, as
we're imprecatiOns ute ed Oh Tie trlmtr.
and | believe had Lucas been left to the
tender mercipS of the crowd, Government
would have been spared the expense Of
his trial. For the enlightenment o your
readers | will give a brief record Of these
persons, 80 that they may see why the
event caused no little interest. Charles
Thomas, Of Estate Mt. Victory, was the
voluntary bearer of the letter to Govern
ment OH the afternoon of the Riot, running
considerable risks to accomplish its de-
livery, having been stopped several times
by persons who suspected his mission.
The faithful delivery Of this letter was un.
doubtedly the means Of saving the other
half of West End, an CAPT. OSTERMANN
was Immediately despatched with his small
force, which rendered effective service.
ThomaS's worth being recognised, he
was given a situation as a Driver of The
Prison gang, after which he filled other
situations, the last being weigh master at
the Custom House IN all of which he dis
charged his duties creditably. He was not
only we'll regarded by those under whom
ne served, but also by the tow people
generally. / regret l cannot give such a
creditable account of Lucas. His claim to
notice is also Of a public character, but oh!
how directly opposite! He figured con-
escaped being shot by n volunteer. After
serving his term of imprisonment he re.
turned to the country, but the loving re-
CARL he had for West End induced him to
live among us. The acme of the ambition
of this sort of people is to live i'll town,
hence We have here some of the worst
characters who played their part i'll the
ever memorable events of October 1878.
If there 10 nothing beyond the cause which
is averred, then how simple the origin Of
this fatal issue! 1t appears that Lucas
struck q woman whose husband is absent
from the island, Thomas came to her de
fence and charged him with c~owardice,
words ensued, and then blows; and he
inflicted no less than seven wounds. each
being sufficient to have caused death.
! have already encroached OH the valuable
space in your paper. just a vord of com.
ment on the above, however. From the
frequent cases of murder and other crimi-
nal acts of violence which are committed
among the lover classes, it appears plain
that they are in q deplorable moral condi-
ton. In spite of all the schools and
Churches with which We are provided, the

During a fight between two men named
LUCAS and THOMAS in Fredcrikstrd on
Fridry night, the combatantsf fell; Thomas
who was undermost, cried out that he was
stabbed, sprang up and was running out
of the yard in which the fight took place,
followed by Lucas. Two policemen coming
up and finding Thomas bleeding had him
carried to the Hospital, where he shortly
afterwards died. One of the policemen re
his room. He was also taken to the HOspi-
tai on account of woundin the head. The
unfortunate man Thomas, of whom a cor
respondent gives some particulars, was
81 years of age and leaves II wife and
three children.
