The Case of the Pratt Heirs.

In the Third district court yesterday
Judge Zane rendered a decision in the
matter of the estate of Orson Pratt de-
ceased. The casecame up originally in the
probate court, when an order was made
allowing distribution to all the children Of
the deceased including the children of
polygamous wives. From this ruling an
appeal was taken to the Third district, and
Judge Zane's decision is the same as the
opinion of the supreme court in the
Handy case, which was decided a short
time ago. IL disallows the ruling of the
probate court and confines the distribution
of the estate to the legitimate children.

Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1890-07-26

A few days ago some sneaks entered the
public school building and destroyed the
globes tore down the stoves, scattered valuable
papers over the floor and committed other
outrages for which there can be no excuse.
The severest punishment should be melted
out to scoundrels who would be guilty of
such wanton act. Being probably too
stupid to benefit by the educational appli-
ances the liberality of the school board
furnishes, they want to deprive others of
their use. Much Indignation is expressed by
those who know of the deed and there will
be determined effort to bring them to
Justice We learn that clue has been OBJ
tanned that will likely lead to the detection
of the parties -Morgantown CIV. Va.,) Nc~
Dominion.
The sneaks most probably obtained
what little education they have, if any.
through moral suasion.
The result is-the Mem D)minioa
wants ''the severest punishment melted
out" to them-a recourse that might
have been obviated by a little hickory
oil in the schoolroom.
However, the outrage was not only
"wanton," but brutal; hence, when
detection exposes the guilty parties it
will be found, no doubt. that they
are not pupils, but a posse of West
Virginia schoolteachers.

The Common Lot.

1t was an exceedingly slender com
pliment the authorities of st. John $
church paid the town papers the other
day.
The discrimination which marked
the Baltimore dailies as worthy Of
perpetuity in the nicely mortised re-
cess of the cornerstone, and the town
papers as unworthy, is not flattering
to the church's nearest journalistic
servants. For, speaking only for the
JOURNAL, there is no institution for
which it has done so much incidentally
without pay in nearly nineteen years
of struggle for existence as for the
church. Yet of five church corner
stones laid within that period not a
copy of the JOURNAL has gone in to
suggest to the archaeologists Of the
future something of the secular status
in Frostburg during the seventh and
eight decades of the nineteenth cen
fury.
However, it is perhaps more than we
had any right to expect.
In which case it will be long time
before we can be made to understand
what special claim, local or foreign,
the Baltimore papers had upon the
partiality of our good friends.

4 Step Backward.

Our three census enumerators
should see by this time that the sug-
gestion of the JOURNAL, made May 81 ,
should have been adopted.
Moreover, we understand that our
hint was in accord with instructions
from headquarters.
Be this as it may, as citizens of the
town, interested in its growth and
prestige, they owed it to themselves
and the people to give Frostburg credit
for all the population Immediately
contiguous to the town limits.
Failure to do this has resulted in
giving Homecoming, with lines lately
fixed and smarter enumerators, nom
inally our place second in the county
and sixth in the State
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1890-07-26
Funny Figures,

In its remarks on population last
week the JOURNAL was very conserv-
alive. 1t accepted the census figures
of 3,627 inside the corporate lines :;
also the S9l outside Chat ought to be
I'M found by Messrs. Hill and Jandorf
two years ago.
1t accepted the fact also that the
enumerators found 420 more people
inside the limits than did Messrs. Hill
and Jandorf-a sum equal to l3 per
cent. gain over their count. 1t was
fairly assumed that if this oversight
occurred inside, where they should
have been careful, that it occurred
also outside, where they were under
no obligations to be particular.
The Homecoming Recie,r, however,
speaks of this as an ''alleged gain"
"Alleged' is Il stronger word, we
imagine, than the Rerie'c supposeS. In
its primary sense an allegation is
based on .tact. In our case. it was
based on two facts, several facts. SO
that 1854 as the true population of
Frostburg is a modest statement-mo
est as compared with the claim which
"supposes" that 800 people live outside
of Homecoming.
The only thing that surprises the
JOURNAL is-that the population of
Homecoming does not exceed that of
the towns two election districts.
But since we come to think Of it.,
this appears to be actually the case.
The Star places the population of the
districts at 5,2l4; the Reeiem Of the
town at 5,2SG, which allows the town
y more people than are in the two
districts.
The result is Homecoming takes in
its supposed" 500, and has y people
it cannot locate.

Pre-Enlpted.

The Homecoming Star does not dis
guise its joy over the ostensible adj
vantage its town has gained over
Frostburg in the census enumeration.
1t is not so stated, but it is implied
that Homecoming is now the "metrop-
oils"
But to this the JOURNAL will for
ever demur. That is its own appel
lation for its beautiful city on hill,
and it cannot be yielded,
Call Homecoming anything-an orb
without zones, world without end
Melchisedek-without beginning of
days or end of life, or Home of the
Soul, but don't call it metropolis"
