able delay in the shipment of the en-
gine has occurred which will postpone
still longer the completion of the elec-
tric light plant. The new poles were
put up along Main street and the new
wire stretched this week, however, so

and is placed in position all will be
ready for Il test of its efficiency.

ness men near the juncture of. Main
and Broadway to suspend in the centre
of the square a large Brush" burner
for the illumination of those streets.

originating and carrying out The idea,

full blaze Frostburg will shine all
night and gladden. the eyes of the dis,
tant millions who weep in the shadows
of Homecoming, Cumberland and Pom
