Sudden Deah.-Charles NJ. TAYLOR,
son of Mrs. Ellen B. Taylor, of this
place, was found dead in the yard of
his mothers residence about one
o'clock last Sunday morning. The
body laid at the top of the stone steps
leading through the gateway from the
pavement to the yard, one hand still
grasping lantern. He had evidently
been dead over a hour. 1t is supposed
that an apoplectic stroke Frustrated
him, and, falling upon an iron brace
sustaining the fence, his neck was
broken. This presumption is taken
from the position Of the body when
discovered. A slight mark near the
chin was the only injury visible. He
was quite stout and heavy. Charlie
was the assistant of C. B. Wack, the
Frostburg agent of the Cumberland
and Pennsylvania railroad company,
and did the telegraph work for the
company at this place. He was a
faithful, popular officer, and highly
regarded by his employers. AS a
citizen, he was quiet and generally
liked. He had long been known here
and his face and services will be miss
ed by those who invariably found
him at his post of duty. His sudden
death has plunged his family into the
deepest distress. He was 81 years of
age. His mother and one sister sur
vive him. The funeral took place
Monday and was largely attended by
relatives and friends.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so tritlod with by the majority Of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from o tritling or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without DELAY.

SOM zone of the Cumberland OPP
orators" represented as San old expo
rienced mining man" has been giving
the Baltimore Sun considerable In
formation. Among other things he
says:
The last time there was a reduction,
in 1882, Frostburg controlled tho action
Of the mon, ordered the strike and
managed things enerally. The result
was that in six months the men went
back ct tho reduction. Homecoming,
the largest mining town in the region,
followed the lead of Frostburg in that
matter. Now, if anything is done
this time, it will DO Homecoming that
takes the lead. The men there, many
of Thorn, are comfortably fixed, and do
not propose to b led to any hssty step
by tho Frostburg people. Homecoming
inaueurated the break up Of the last
strike, and whatever is done this time
will be done through Homecoming.
At this late hour we have neither
the time nor space to devote to ref
utation Of the statement concerning
Frostburg's leadership in 1882. Our
recollection of the matter, however,
and our file will bear US out, is that
no place in the county can be fairly
assigned a pre-eminent position in
that contest. 1t was general move
mont, each point in the region uniting
with every other to resist the reduc-
ton, Homecoming with the rest.
When the introduction Of foreign
labor was determined upon it fell to
the lot of this end Of the region to
sustain the blow, the Homecoming
men appearing we'll satisfied with the
progress of that experiment until
their own work was imperiled by a
similar movement there several weeks
later. So long as the fight was
waged against the Frostburg end
they seemingly rather enjoyed the
attitude of spectators, but when the
menace came to the doorway, of their
own mines, Homecoming" as this
"old experienced mining man" says,
"insusursted tho breakup" 1t was
not that Homecoming was opposed to
the suspension, or did not sustain it.,
butt was Homecoming, profting by
the obvious fate of their brethren
here, with q correct scent Of the dan
ger In the air, that rushed first to
mako virtue of necessity.
This much in simple justice to the
Frostburg mon.
Now, then, as to the existing juno
turs. This cold experienced mining
man" declares that 'this time Iona
coming will take the lead" He is
very nearly correct so far as appear
ances 20. In what direction the
mon Of Lonaconlng are "leading," the
reply addressed the companies, else,
whore printed, will show. Perhaps
he will discover that one of the "evils
of previousness" has snapped stations

Will always be an historical character,
and inseparably connected with the
immortal name, of Caesar is the Cloak
he wore at the time of his assassina-
ton, when he cried

Among the ancient Romans the Ioga,
or Cloak: had served distinguishing
uses. One worn by children of both
sexes was trimmed with broad purple
border, a fashion borrowed from the
Etruscans. Another was worn by
magistrates, and still another by those
engaged in sacred rites. Yet another
was known as the "manly gown" worn
by boys on completing the fourteenth
year.

CLEAR LAKE, WIS.

For the last year Clear Lake, Wisconsin,
has labored with the liquor question, having
two saloons ard couple of drug stores,
where liquid contention was livery literally
dispensed with by the drink or belly full at q
price so low that any one could back water
on the same for second handed pair of
lost packs and
Gail went merry as marriage BELL
On Friday. before the town meetings Iwere
to come off, the people..arose and girded ~
their loins and held an indignation meeting
loudly denouncing the liquor traffice in our
midst as a cylinder escapement double vent
nuisance of the first water and resolved to
put it down by force of ballots, which they
did April the first by 156 majority. This
aroused the ire Of a saloonist, who immedi-
ately after the votes were counted, made
direct for the NJ E. minister la Sullivan
and attempted to administer one hundred
pounds on his proboscis and was slightly sue
cessful. The emissary,,of the ''glad tidings
to all men," Immediately beat retreat,
while the saloonist made a mule of himself
by attempting TIC kick ON the matter, but in
raising one leg the other gave away at the
same time and the result was double
tragedy. The saloonist fractured the knee
pan and at present can get down on but one
knee to pray, while the minister can kneel on
both. We understand a warrant is out for
Bob to be and appear before Esquire j. l..
Warren of this place, to explain why he at
tempted to spread the gospel by force instead
of moral suasion. SAM

A Monster. Yet a Woman.

CHICAGO, April s,-Mrs. Anna Schock, ar
rested two months ago at the instance of the
Humane society, is on trial in the criminal
court for alleged cruelty to children under
her charge in the ''Home,' at Lagrange, near
this city. The inmates numbered about
twenty, and ranged from six to fourteen
years. A number were left at the ''Home''
by INDECENT parents and the remainder were
orphans. The ''Home" was supported large
ly by subscriptions. The prosecution offered
the testimony of the attending physician,
and former employees, which tended to show
that the children were almost totally uncared
for, that the ''home" was horribly filthy, and
that the basement where the children were
compelled to pass the greater portion of the
day, was also used as a stable for a COW.
One witness declared that the prevailing diet
for the children was mush and potatoes, and
that their beds were soiled and wet. 1t was
contended by other witnesses, that the health
of the children had been utterly broken
while inmates.

An Interesting Suit.

The public will call to mind the fact that a
short time since the council passed an ordi-
nance granting to Griggs & Foster the right
to erect wooden building on the site of the
one burned, on the corner of Third and
Broadway, and that in spite of the protests of
the chamber Of commerce and many promi-
nent citizens, coupled with veto by the
mayor, the council insisted that it was not
transcending its rights, and put the ordi-
nance through over the mayors veto. The
matter now gets further overhauling by d
suit filed yesterday in the district court by
Russell & Co., to restrain Griggs & Foster
from erecting wooden structure on the site
named. The complaint is very volumin-
GUS one, and after citing all the city ordi-
nances regarding fire limits and provisos
under which wooden establishments may be
built, AYERS that the property of the plaintiff
firm, but u short distance away, was damaged
at the late fire to the extent of $1,000, and
since the erection of a wooden structure on
the old site would render the plaintiffs prop
erty continually liable to similar or greater
damage in case of fire, they ask the court to
restrain the defendants from erecting the
building and for temporary injunction I'M
til q further order of the court.
