Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1889-09-07

~ an individual the IoURNNL resides ON
Broadway, and it wants to call the attention
of our Mayor and Council to the condition Of
that great thoroughfarc the second in i'm
purtaucc in the town.
II Is now the toughest street III town, and
there Is a good reason for it.
In lso7-S there were S9.l2 spent by the
town on that street, and in lSSS . S5j.GI: in
both years SGi77.
In the same time there were spent ON Bow
cry SI,OSl.6S.
Even ON oak street the expenditures
for same time amounted To $1OO9N and on
Water street to Sll965.
II does not make any difference what the
open reasons tor these partialiticS are. We
do know that broadway has been neglected
and that the street shows it. We know also
that the Mayor and Council owe it To the
people on that street to put it in good con-
dition.
To this end the JOURNAL would like to Join
all the propcrty-owncr, ON that street in
march to the Council Chamber next Monday
evening to respectfully lay this case and our
wishes before that honorable body.
What say you people of Broadway? There
are Percy, Bcplcr, Wagner, Ravcnscraft,
Price, Wehner, Hole, Nungerman, Wilder
man, JcflrieS, knode, Preston, Ford, Eick
horn, Armstrong. Alexander, Spatcs, Hamll,
Parker, Williams Morgan and Clicc, repre-
scnting nearly all the properties ON that
street who are interested in getting Il proper
share of the taxes they pay spent where they
belong. Why, citizens, i'll the last two years
you have gotten only fraction over per-
c,nt. of all the money spent ON the streets in
Frostburg. Meanwhile, Bowery got over 81
p'r ccd.
Gentlemen, organize this movement to-day
and Monday and let lis all he at the Council
Chamber Monday evening whether we 90
together or not. II is our right to do So, and
it is our duty
What do we want
We want Broadway literally maradamzcd.
THE notice of registration put up 10y the
registrar of No. II Is Il horrible specimen of
printing. Excepting the line "a Registration" "
there is hardly Respectable font Of type req
resented init. SO wonder there is no imprint
upon it,
II is mashed in on whit" PAPER, however.

TuE Frostburg correspondent of the Iona
coming Hr"ic" Nhould Iccp his memory from
wubbing when hc describe, big floods. He
saw tall man ",temmiug the tIde owing to
the >wiituc,S and depth of the water" Then
Jack Hart went up the stream with a raft "
and So ON.
Now, what kind of torrent WAS this?
The correspondent says that when the
miners reached it "that it was instant death

The truth of the matter is. the water WAS
at no time over three feet deep, and amoug
the cXaggcratlons which have distinguished
the reports of this incident none have beaten
the Rc"jcr correspondents blood-curdliug
refutation of the Cumberland Times column
of hyperboIe.
Born the Cumberland Times and Con,jr
put to it for evasionS, have availcd themselves
of that bankrupt newspaper retort of thanks
for the JOURNALS advertiSiug.'
We shall probably give them occasion for
returning more thanks than they can shake a
stick at, for we shall frequently alludc to the
Times in Il way 50 hho"ojr that its circulation
will 20 up to 2l20.
And as to the Go"rjc'-we can say almost
any time that it is as bright as a ham
TmE democratic convention met in Cum
berland Tuesday and took the practical steps
toward re-nomnating Colonel Lcondas Vic

1t is such foOliShncSs as this that is steadily
reducing the democratic majority in Mary
land.
Indeed the only hope the party has III this
falls contest is in the prohibition vote.
Let that element fall back into its normal
republican mooringS and the revolt against
Mr. Gorman's prot,g,S will swamp the demo-
cratic State ticket under an adverse majority
of not less than 1000.
Victor prohibition threatens to be thy
Mascot.
SUNpRY people in diversp places in the regions
roundabout marvel exceedingly wherefore
the Cumberland TUNES and Co"rjcy are silent
whcrewithal concerning the matter lately in
contention.
Such Samaritans should hold their peace,
for it is written
