A Mt. Savage Industry Gro,ptng.-
The Cumberland Neaos says:
The Union mining company, of Mt,
Savage, have nearly completed their large
brick yard, adjoining the works proper, and
in few weeks they will have facilities for
the employment of 100 additional hands.
James S. MacKie, the president, is pushing
the work. A new stack erected in connection
with the improvement is 135 feet high.
EXACTLY Ho,U 1t Stands.-The Coal
Trade Journal thinks the present con-
dition of trade eastward pretty we'll
put in the following:
Those who had coal at low prices and have
1t in hand to dispose of, want to see that
stock much reduced before coming in to buy
at the new and higher price. When necessity
compels a replenishing of stock, the high
price will be paid. How long the low-priced
| coal will last is therefore the main point
Burglars About.-The stores of
Messrs. H. B. Shaffer and Edward
Price and the Catholic pastoral resi-
dence were entered and explored
Tuesday night. Strange to say,
nothing was taken. Suspicion is deep
but not loud.
At Piedmont Sunday morning the
store of l.. P. Jameson was burglar
lied to the extent of 5000.
Religious. Rev. Henry Homan, of
W. Va, will preach in the M. E.
Church, South, this place, this even
ing, tomorrow Sunday morning and
evening at the usual hours.
Rev. M. F. Brennan was introduced
to his Cumberland congregation last
Sunday. The Times speaks of him as
"a native of Frostburg, a young man
and an able and eloquent divine"
Minor Casualties. w ednesday af-
ternoon a ten-year old son of John
Porter, Of Allegany mines, while

right leg at the side Of the knee-joiut
inhicitng a painful injury that viii!
confne him to the house for severaI
weeks. Surgical attention was rem
dered by DR.. Mason.
Intprouement.-The JOURNAL Office
is undergoing some changes for the
better. Not long ago John N. Carson,
our artistic plasterer, gave the ceiling
two good coats where needed. Latel
Andrew Jones came along with his
whitening process and worked in
dustriously on ceiling and dark walls
until he made them shine snow-white.
Now B. L. Schoield, our great ma.
chinist, is engaged putting in steam
heaters. In few days, therefore, we
will be a model of brightness and
comfort, thanks to our good landlords
the Messrs. Hitchins. No doubt these
luminous characteristics of pleasant
indoor life will be more than ever re-
flected in the vivacious observations
of the JOURNAL, which, in all cases is
paper when not a person. And now
is mighty fine time to subscribe.

treme west fine day was reported
