very Fine PeJormdnce.-Th
ladies and gentlemen of Cumberland.
Mt. Savage and Frostburg. who 50
successfully presented "A Happy
Pair" and" Freezing Mother-in-Law"
IN Cumberland recently, appeared with
the same plays before fine audience
in Moat's Opera House Tuesday even
ing. The Cumberland renditions were
very highly spoken of, but we are
credibly Informed that the ladies and
gentlemen did still better here. MISS
Louise Roman made fine personifi-
cation of Mrs. HoHeyt0n. and our own
Hugh Garland Meem played the pet
tish lord very handsomely. Edgar
Thompson presented Il good figure of
the age last gone by, and Mr.. Meem
evinced in gallant style his preference
i'' MISS i1HiiS' Inc ldlte! responded
in manner us innocent as it was
pleasing. Mrs.. WatmHF, by Miss
Roman, of somewhat diverse opin-
ions, was a lively companion of Mr..
WotmHf. In the JOURNALS opinion
the character of Ferdinand Snift, by
f.. A. johnson, of Cumberland, was
not surpassed in pose or action by any
one i'll the plays. He was apparently
at perfect ease all the way through,
and his part was given in the most
hfelike manner. The following is the
cast o "a Happy Pair, -

CORRESPONDENCE.
ALEXANDER SHAW.

10 the MINING JOURNAL.
| was gratitied to observe in your
editorial columns last week reference
to Major Alex. Shaw's candidacy for
Mayor of Baltimore. but as your re-
marks We're necessarily confined to
cOntroverting an unfriendly newspaper
statement. | wish, with your permiS-
sion, to add something in the Majors
behalf.
| need not say that he il one of
the leading factors in Allegany county
prosperity; everybody knows that.
But | want to recall to all minds that
he has been SO identified with our bus
mess and productive interests for a
third of a century, all the time init
mately connected or sympathizipg
with every movement looking towards
the development of our chief industry.
indeed, in many cases the principal,
and the only one known to us.
1t is not strange, therefore, that al
most irrespective of party our county
| pride is appealed to and popular in
| terest enlisted in the advancement pro
posed for him.
The writer cannot be said to be in
| timately acquainted with the distin-
guiShed gentleman at the head of the
municipal ticket, but knows him well.
He is also pretty well posted as to the
feeling and sentiment of the country
around, and he does not hesitate to
state that after "A careful survey of
men and things that were Major Shaw
now II citizen of this county and a can
| ddate for office, he could carry it with
Il majority far greater than his MINOR
ity in 1867.
Men who from humble beginnings
have risen to cminence who do not
forget old friends of other days and
who were not so fortunate as to be
| lifted from their first estate, are not
forgotten by him, and Major Shaw's
| friends of that class are legion. He
| has not forgotten the sturdy miners Of
this region who have been us cordially
received or met when he visited us, or
when they visited him as when he
weighed the coal that we had dug, and
IT is for this as well as for developing
the resources of our county that we
assert that were he our candidate at
this election he would roll up clear
majority as before named. We re-
assert that we are not partisans; we
are the friends of oldeu time.
Mr.. Davidson may be as good man
as Major Shaw, but will he make as
good a mayor! We maintain, and
would fight on that basis, that change
of government Is essential to healthy,
honest and vigorous administration.
Amy party being continuously kept in
power will necessarily become care
less, almost perforce corrupt. Our
country would be.rent into fragments
If such We're possible.
| could name many points in the
history Of our friend-how one step of
the ladder has been reached from the
one below, and how the top was finally
scaled, but it is not necessary.
| will say, however, that this notice
on the part of the writer is en-
tlrely gratultous not a friend of Ma
jor Shaw's has approached him. 1t is
IA sincere utterance of one who has
watched every step of progress in what
is a remarkable and almost impossible
career outside of our own country.

4 Neat Fence.-Philip Michael has
erected on his property, corner Water
and Mechanic streets, several hundred
feet of Expanded Steel Fencing, a
new style of enclosure just introduced
here by Michael & Burton, agents.
The fence binds the lot on both streets
and makes handsome appearance.
The body OF the fence is made from
strips of soft, tough steel of fine texture,
cut with the grain and expanded into
diamond-shaped meshes, the strip
eventually appearing like steel net
ting. This "steel netting" is set and
fastened into rails made of angle or
channel iron, and mounted with neat
malloable pickets. The panels, feet
long, are secured to steel posts, which,
in turn, are set in bases of locust about
J! feet long. Everything needed to
put up the fence comes together all
that has to be done when the fence
has arrived is to put it up. Mr.,
Michael is justly proud of his enclo-

COUNTY NEWS.

B'eoitics.-Danlel Amman, county
treasurer, puts up neat financial
statement and the JOURNAL places it
in type in shape that cannot be beat
AS hustler wrote to the JOURNAL
the other day, "ace are the people"
Among the arguments advanced to
show that Bacon "wrote Shakespeare"
is that Francis used the words "the
gentle dew" and William spoke of
''the gentle rain The fact that the
Cumberland Times recently referred to
n gentle shower makes room for u
belief that the gentle editor of that
paper possibly had hand in writing
the works of Bacon.
1t is claimed that Georges Creek
at Homecoming can get full quicker
than the Potomac at Brady's, but
there is a man living at Eckhart who
can knock them both out,
"The reason why the houses in Cum
berland are numbered" says grocer,
''is because the people are too stuck
up to carry home their jugs of mo-
lasses and things
The average typesetter and proof
reader, as well as the over-cIassic edit
or Of the Cumberland Times, appear to
be unconscious of the fact that the
heading, "M Memoriam off, contains
an invisible "doublet."

A Belief to This Effect is Gaining
 Ground in Chicago.
CARLSON THREATENED
Suspicion on Alexander sullivan. Brooklyn.

CHICAGO, Juno go. - The jury has
 dropped all other phases of the Cronin murder conspiracy except that in which Alexander Sullivan appears as the con-
 tral figure and moving spirit. Testimony so weighty that it must almost positively result in his indictment
 has been submitted to the grand jury, showing that Alexander Sullivan had several times attempted to cast the as- persion on Dr. Cronin as being British
 spy. not only to the Clan-na-Gael. but it has been also learned that he endeavored to have the suspicion announced to the world.
 Almost every day the police are con- fronted with the fact that there Is n strong force in the city and country do- ing everything in its power to place ecution. Monday and Tuesday two agents for the conspirators endeavored to make the police believe that one of the murderers was still in town, and Thursday two 1rishmen visited the Carl son cottage and threatened young Carl son with assassination if he recognizes Burke when he is brought back to Chi cago.
 Tho police arc looking for the two strangers. There is apparently well. grounded belief that Attorney Beggs is the Clan-na-Gacl man who is giving the states attorney the inside workings and secrets of Camp 20. It is said he was locked up at his own request because he feared that his brother members might
 suspect him of "squealing," and he very we'll knew the consequences if he became suspected of such a breach of faith.

 Dillon gave tho name and address of the.original but said it must be case
