Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1886-09-25
WHOLE NO. 781.

Deiused.-The removal Tuesday of
last week of the roof of Hitchlns
Bros house, in which the JOURNAL is
located, was unfortunately succeeded
Wednesday by an all-day rain.
Between the perennial JOURNAL and
the illimitable sky there was left only
the skeleton of what was once a gay
and happy ceiling.
The relentless rain came down and
occasionally a square yard of plaster,
or as the miners would say-"roof."
This incident of the rain, like the
rainbow, implied more rain just as it
developed more skylight. At any
rate, the rain got through outside
some time Wednesday night, but in
side it held on we'll into Thursday.
Meanwhile the new roof was going on,
which, with the evaporation, started
on Friday morning, gradually re-
duced the area of the soak. The Of
flee got wet from orient to occident,
from zenith to nadir, from the pole
star of independence to the frost line
of politics. Type, presses, cases,
paper, furniture, ETC., fell into inocuous
desuetude for several days, conse-
quently it was impossible to get the
JOURNAL out in the limited time left
after evaporation, natural and arti-
fetal, reached anything like COM
pletion.
To newspaper people failure to
issue is a serious matter, however,
lightly the delinquency may be pop
ularly regarded. Stress of circum-
stances must be extreme to bring
about an event so untoward. In our
case it was certainly true; hence we
devote this notice to explanation not
apology.
