DIR. Frank T. Shaw, clerk of the Circuit
Court, has forwarded to Judges Miller, Smith
and Jones his resignation, to take effect on
March 2, next
Dir. Shaw has filed his present position
nearly twelve years, having been twice elected,
first in 1878 and again in 1879. The court has
never had more efficient officer, or one who
has been more economical in conducting the
affairs of his office.
During his incumbency he conceived plan
for making needed improvements at the
Court House and building fire-proof vaults,
without creating a debt and increasing taxa
ton. He drew up bill to have the excess
Of fees Of his office applied to said improve
ments. and had it passed by the Legislature.
Those improvements cost about ST., 1000, but
are being paid for by the excess of fees of the
Clerks Office, without any direct taxation
upon the people of Carroll.
On the 4th of March next, DR.. Shaw, term
as a member of Congress commences, though,
unless there be an extra session, he Will not
take his seat until next December. In the
Matt onal Legislature he will bring to the als-
charge of his duties the same energy, prudence
and ability that have characterized hls ot1clai
life heretofore. and will make a representa-
tive in whom the people of his congressional
district may well feel a pride.
Below is DIR. Shaw's letter of resignation +;
WESTMINSTER, Mp, 10th February, 1885.

Court for Carroll County;
GENTLEMEN Having been chosen to rep

It is with feelings of deep emotion that

Mr.. Stein is having skating rink built in
tho roar Of the Union National Bank 40xl45
feet. In the meantime the one at Odd Eel
lows Hall, conducted by Mr.. NJ. Jandorf, IS
daily growing in popularity. The first pa
irons we're little children, then came the
larger boys and girls, then young ladies ana
gentlemen, then the middle.aged, married
and single, and now the old folks attend on
sneeial occasions No amusement so iasel-
nat;no as roller.skating has ever been known
here, except base ball, and 1T bids fair 10
eclipse that.
On Tuesday night it was announced that
skaters would be masked, and silver medals
were offered for the best costumes. Inc
maskers assembled early, and by 8 o'clock
about sixty were on the floor, making an
amusing spectacle There were representa-
tions Of clowns, English coachmen, dudes,
fat men. Indians, Brother Jonathan, Turks,
Chinese. Negroes (last one in was nigger),
Continentals, &c.
The figures moved around lively and there
was great mixing up. Around went clown;
followed by an Indian; then boy disguised
as a negro girl then huge figure dressed IN
bags. looking like cargo OF coffee; then
coachman; then huge female inquire; theh
Turk; tlren base ball player; then jockey
tben 4 female, double faced like Janus; then
a D1cYcliSl, tilcu HOtHSN ~ASS-NN.- - -
rious other figures.
The bell taps and the floor IS cleared, when
the proprietor directs the ladies to occupy
the floor while the judges Messrs. Billings
lea. Allgire. Vanderford, Clabaugh and Baum
rartncr-decide upon the costumes. The
bell rings again, the ladies retire and the gem
qlemen take the floor. Among the latter was
y diminutive representation of Brother iona,
than. who moved around with the crowd
with great persistence and perseverance,
feeling as big as the six -and-a- half tooter.
To him was given the prize among the gentle
men. and the Brother Jonathan, when masks
were removed, proved to be little Jimmy
Bond. Miss Julia McKellip was awarded the
prize among the ladies. She was attired IN
regular party dress of pink silk and satin,
trimmed with lace. The committee, had they
been instructed, would have made honorable
mention of quite a number, though all cos
TUNES were creditable. The negro girl rep
resentation was a figure that puzzled the com
mittee somewhat, as it paraded first with the
ladies and then with the gentlemen, and they
are in ignorance still whether the character
was represented by female or male.
The affair was an enjoyable one to the large
audience of spectators, who filled all available
space. At an early day Mr.. Jandorf proposes
to again have his patrons in mask ana cos
tune. and it is probable there will be more
participants and more grotesque costumes
than on last Tuesday night.
