The National Ho'iday.-In Frost
burg the Fourth was observed on the
fifth, the former falling on Sunday
this year.
The earl Y forenoon was made up of
Sunday school professions to adjacent
groves, including the Salvation Army
and Fire Company.
The last named made quite a bril-
liant display, in one respect unique
one. a wagon, cahco-covered, with
stove-pipcs of varying cahbre, the
middle one smoking, ranging from fore
to aft, followed the procession along
the main thoroughfares. What fur
nished the smoke and music nobody,
in the JOURNALS Judgment, knows
better than the Queen City Comier
bureau. In this it is fortified by the
fact that the bureau foresaw the ad-
vent of the smoking Juggernaut and
spoke of it rs the mother of Orpheus,
the chief Of the nine MUSES., or words
to the same effect 1t was the most
striking feature Of the day in its line.
The picnic which followed, notwith-
standing poor advertising, enjoys the
official reputation of escaping failure.
The picnics were generally enjoyed,
though the little ones tired of the seat
less woods and early strolled home

Coal Trade Journ0l
Spot coal is scarce, and prices for
immediate delivery are still. Cars
are more plentiful on the line of the
Pennsylvania road than they were,
but not nearly up to the demands
1t is stated that the company mas per-
mitted Il large number of its cars to
60 into the East, on long all,rail
routes, which pay but very small
freight, to the disturbance of its
regular tidewater business, winch, if
not very profitable, is more so than
the all-rail business to the East.

only u moderate movement. There
has been more than usual talk within

ket is 32.15. Orders have been re-

submit that no national bank bill,

IN the discussion OF the issue
between Messrs. McComas and We'll
llngton it Is evident to even an un-
practiced eye that there is a large
element of Mr.. McComas' party that
believes he should be civil service
reformed out Of Congress, and that
the place which now knows him
shall know him 10 more-not even
if it should meet HIM in the middle
of the street. Hence, it seems all
proper that Mr.. McComas should
work the canvass on an "Auld Lang

Death of Mrs. We odburn.

The Carson Appeal of the 10th says
On Saturday last Mrs Woodburn,
wife of Congressman Woodburn, died
in Washington of heart disease and
catarrh of tie stomach. She had
been suffering from disease ever since
she went to Washington, but her
death was quite unexpected to her
friends and relatives IN this city.
Mrs. Woodburn was the daughter of
the late James Duffy Of Carson. She
was born in the Sandwich Islands in
1856. She leaves behind her two
bpautifu children, a boy and girl,
aged respectively six and four and u
half years.
Mrs. W0odburn was we'll known on

of many accomplishments, and her
qualities attracted many friends. The
requiem mass for the repose of her
soul was celebrated in st. Stevens
Cathedral Church in San Francisco

The friends of William Woodburn
all over the Coast will extend mutual
condolences for his loss.

in Carson last week his affidavit to
that effect was offered in evidence by

objected upon the ground that no such
affidavit was required by law, and that
the affidavit alleged to be false WAS
immaterial. The Court sustained the
objection and instructed the jury to
find verdict of not guilty.

HAMILTON NOTES.
From Our Regular Correspondent
HAMIITON March % 1894


HAMILTON, March %, 1886.
Our weather is now pleasant, but last
week was u vicious one Thursday being
almost the peer of any of Hamilton's
worst.
1t has demoralized the stage line
from the south completely. The stage
due here from Taylor Saturday arrived
Monday at 4PM. Last week we had
but Que mail from your place, which
came in late Wednesday afternoon.
Friday afternoon the "county force"
was made useful in breaking the road
from here tn the California mill, which
has helped things vastly.
E. N. Robinson, who was expected
here from the East. came as far as
Eureka and from thence departed for
the more salubrious climate of Califor-
mia.
Alex. Muir has been appointed
Superintendent of the s. w. Co.'S
mines
Six or eight men are expected here
from Eureka to-day to increase the
mining force on the Stafford.
Wood is wood now on the Hill as
they have to fight their way up there
through deep snow drifts with little
jacks.
Capt. Strickland returned last week
from California, looking greatly i'm
proved by his trip.
Our town should support one res
taurant well, but in the last two weeks
two more have opened, one by Mrs.
Dobson and the other by Sam Sing,
and it is given out that still another
will soon appear upon the scene.
The upper Medin stand is being
fitted up tor u saloon by John Doyle,
and will be opened about the 1st.
Stage Driver Sampson has been laid
up with snow-bliDd for week, but
will endeav0r to make the next trip.
A few mornings ago a couple of
gents could be seen passing up street
at rather AN unreasonable hour, one
carrying proudly in his arms u hand
some piece of bric-a-brac, the other
fondly, but mnurnfully, caressing a
2la-inch doll. They were respectively
our County Clerk and Deputy Sheriff
Doyle, and an investigation of their
strange behavior brought To light that
they were coming from a progressive
held ut Mrs. l.. Zadow's, where thirty
participants were present. The game
- all the craze here now.
