SpeciaI Session,

quently the most important section of
1.-THE parliament which sits out of
doors" was marked absent, though the
fact will not appear in the regular
proceedings. We mention this matter
mot necessarily for publication, but
as guarantee Of good faith"
The object Of the special, it was
stated, was to fix the rate of taxation,
an oversight of the last regular meet
ing which, as a matter of news, was
exclusively omitted by the Frostburg
Le2ger.
Dewitt moved to fix the rate at 80
cents per 800, and the motion was
adopted without division, or any eff
fort at subtraction.
Mayor Clice thought there ought to
be special tax laid to meet the inter-
est on the Water Bonds.
Dewitt moved to impose Is cents
per 500 for said purpose.
Lammert favored ) cents.
Hosken 10 cents.
.Jandorf could not see why there
should be any levy of this character !;
Council had rot as yet contracted any
debt
Michael said there should not be q
special tax levied before it is needed.
Dewitt wanted to be prepared to
meet the interest when due.
Lammert thought October would be
time enough to impose the levy.
By a vote of 1 to 3 motion to levy
was lost.
Michael called attention to Pau
Goldsworthy's board pavement, on
Union street, which is in a very bad
condition. He SAID there was no or
dinance to compel him to lay pave
ment and if the Street committee were
to make him tear up the present pave
ment it would leaye very bad mud
hole. He thought if the Street com
mittee could get Mr.. Goldsworthy to
repair the dangerous place it would be
better than haying 1t torn up.
Dewitt moved that Mr.. Colds
worthy be notified to tear up his board
pavement on Grant street.
Amended by Zimmerly-that he be
instructed to repair pavement. If not
done, the Street committee is author
lied to tear it up at his expense.
Amendment lost.
Original motion adopted.
Brevities.
This is the longest day
A liveryman directed the JOURNALS
attention Wednesday to an inland sea,
a kind of Dead Sea, in the middle of
the street opposite Beall, Baush & Co.'s
store. He intlmated that it was one
Of the luxuries his class got for the IL
cense they paid. The other was an
occasional good cussng from a be-
spattered passenger. This is hint
to the Council to destroy the street
lakes-dry 'em up, and then work on
Broadway until it is finished. Like
wise, give Bowery rest.
Harry Robinson drove into this
market Wednesday sixteen very fine
cattle. They hailed from North Car
DINA. In beef the tar-heel brand is
new in this particular latitude.
The report that the railroad COM
mittee got the G. G. q G. branch built
Wednesday night as far as Wright's
crossing is evidently device CON
ceived by the enemy. 1t is also stated
that the extension will be finished at
the next special meeting, but this is
also an error, unless it appears this
morning in the Frostburg Ledger as an
opinion OF the public.
We expect next week to offset the
schoolboy idea of the Ellicott City
Times with few remarks by Samuel
Smiles, a noted English author. By
way of contrast, we will remark in ad-
yance--Mr. Smiles is no chump.
One of the ablest articles in favor
of the Cumberland B. & O. alliance
was written for the Cumberland Times
by Owen Hitchins, of Frostburg.
AS yet no bids for Water Bonds.
The bids for excavation and mason
ny of new reservoir will be opened in
public at 6 p. m. Monday in the Coun-
ell Chamber.
Mountain Castle, No. 16, Knights of
the Golden Eagle, will hold a banquet
in Meats Opera House Friday even
ing, 9th inst. Objects-a social
occasion and a time for good fellow
ship.
Railroad Movements.
Four Of the FIVE Council committee
men on better railroad facilities met
in the Council Chamber Wednesday
evening-Messrs. elise, Jandorf, Mi
chael and Lammert. Mr.. Zimmerly
was absent.
After considerable all-rOnnd dis
