From the Cumberland independently
CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. IL, 1883.
The following paragraph appeared
in the Oakland Letter" to the
ClmlbeyEand Times of the 10th instant:
"The Baltimore and Ohio has prob
ably got its fill of Miss Jennie smith
and local option, and it will probably
go to the wall next time. 1t was "A
bad speculation for them in bringing
her here on a salary. They catch the
fare on local trains and have it come
back on them 10y local option, which
means big money out of the Golfers OF
their hotels.n
Now, Mr.. Editor, for downright
meanness and willful or ignorant
misrepresentation of facts, the above
item caps the climax; there are no
less than four false statements in it,,
in addition to doing gross injustice to
a noble, earnest Christian lady, and
one whom all respectable people OF
whateVerseX or creed love and respect
for her many virtues as we'll as her
earnest effort to make men and Wo-
men better, and aid them to lead bet
ter lives.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company never got Miss Jennie
Smith to go to Garrett county. She
was sent few years ago on the rail
road lines of the country as the rep
resentative of the w. G. Il. u, and
in that capacity came on this road
and has been working among its en-
ployes in the interest Of temperance.
She located at Mountain Lake Park
for many reasons, but principally, |
suppose, because she wanted to, and
it was her right to locate where she
pleased and the work which Miss
Jennie has done among the railroad
men along this line and others will
live long after the writer of the above
squib has been forgotten.
We never heard that the B. & O..
had taken any hand in local option
affairs in Garrett county. We have
heard for many years that the COM
pany would not employ any man
that used Intoxicating liquors, thus
saying to the world 1--WE cannot trust
our property and the lives of those
coming over our lines in the hands
of drunken employees" This is the
kind of local option that the company
enforces, and it is the business kind
The B. q o. company never paid
Miss Jennie Smith a salary or COM
pensation of any kind for any work
she has done. They did not buy the
lot for her cottage at the Park, or
build the cottage free, She paid them
the full price for the building in cash
and holds their receipt therefore; they
having erected the same for her,
This is the first time that we ever
heard that the company expected to
ell its Golfers" with whisky money,
and we do hope that whenever that
company shall get so far away from
its chartered purpose that it must be-
come a keeper of saloons in order to
fill its Golfers, that it will speedily be-
come bankrupt and close up.

The receipts are ample for very
moderate demand, though the num-
bers offered are 100 head less than they
were last Monday, and the quality is
not as good as it was then. There is
no outside demand, and the market
has in consequence, ruled dull. Prices
range at 2(04c., as to guilty, few sell

at 3G15c., gross. Same time last year
sheep sold at 394!co and lambs same

The Walkup Poisoning Case.

The Commonwealth says: ''The En-
poria sensation-the Walkup poisoning
case-is now engrOssing the attention
of the people of the entire west. 1t is
one of the most sensational and mystic
rious cases that has been before the
public for long time. To think that
beautiful young girl, of good antece-
dents, refined, cultured and cultivated,
would willingly and Intentionally adj
minister deadly poison to the man whom
she had sworn to love and obey is hard
to believe.
But what was her object in thus TAX
ing the life IF she did do it, of the man
who had sworn to love and protect her.
She was living in comparative luxury,
a nice home with pleasant surround
ings. She had but to wish for thing
to receive it. Certainly she must be a
depraved and unnatural woman to strike
down the husband who was doing all in
his power to make her life one Of hap
piness and pleasure.
The case presents another interesting
circumstance, which eXemplifieS the
truth of the old saying, mo love on
earth is so great as the holy regard of a
mother for her offspring" Mrs. Wal
lace. the mother of Mrs. Walkup, on
being apprised of the suspicion attached
to her daughter in the case, fell in a
sxoOn from which she was two hours
recovering. AS soon as she recovered
She took the first train for Emporia in
order that she might comfort and coun-
sci her child in the hour of her
trouble. It is said that she has not
slept for two hours in succession since
the news of the murder reached her,
For the sake of pure wOmanheod,
family connections and for her own sake
it is hoped Mrs. Walkup will be able to

which have been cast npon

Republican Convention.

The republican convention held in
the court house last Monday was har-
moniOus one, yet, outside of the dele
gates, the crowd was not so large and
the enthusiasm manifested rather fiat.
It is true, that within the pale of the
convention the political water seemed
calm and placid, but after the nOmina-
tions and the way in which the grand
old party" ignored the old soldier can
didateS, it became evident that there
was more calmness i'll the convention
than in the party. Out of the seven can
didates who so hOnOrably wore the blue
during the late war not one of them re-
ceived a nomination. The convention
made victors out of those who never
smelt gun powder. The 'g. o. p" is
with the boys in blue as it is with pro-
hibition-no use for either only to serve
an interest to keep it in power. This
hypocrisy will lead it to defeat in No
yember next.

The brass band can hardly be said to
exist as an organization. The want OF

from practice, so it is said.

ThoS. n. Gum, M. D., has been ap-
pointed one of the Notaries Public for

and friends.
J. A. COlley, N. D., has moved his
Office into the Jackman block, up stairs,
and fitted it up in style.
At the republican caucus on Satur-
day last, Messrs. Eaglan. Thisler and
Snyder were chosen delegates to the
county convention, and j. Z. Martin
received so out of the SO votes cast for
Treasurer. Good for Martin.
Business matters during the month
of August were unusually dull on ac-
count of the low prices for wheat and
the poor crop. Such may really be said
to be the main cause. Hogs and old
corn are beginning to come into market
and trade will soon be a little more
lively. Especially will this be the case
when the new corn is harvested.

Gov. HoADLY, of Ohio, since his
nomination on the Democratic ticket
for reelection, has this to say about
the October prospects: I'VE have a
fair fighting chance. They beat us last
fall by IL 900 votes, but then they had
Mr.. Blaine's personal canvass to help
them and any amount of promises OF
patronage, which he made right and
left all over the state. lie made enough
promises of places in Ohio to bankrupt
twenty national administrations. OF
course we fight the Republicans this
year without that element in their ia
vor, for Blaine, not having anything at
his disposal, present or prospective,
cannot hold out any inducements in the
way of offices. 1t is rather on the other
side this year, and that gives us the
vim to go into the fight with prospects
of winning.
