names of those desiring to attend the
opera "Mikado" at Piedmont Friday
evening, 22d inst. He desires to com
rlete his list before the 18th inst, so

opera will he rendered in immense
shape, as no less than fifty select voices
of Piedmont have been engaged in re-
hearsal for long time under the most
careful and competent training. Mr..

part, which is quite enough to enlist a
large attendance from Frostburg.

The Pension Sharp Suits Himself in the
Matter of Evidence.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The Raum inyesti-
cation was resumed to-day and Lemon was
called to the stand. He read a prepared
statement, which was to the effect that as
the first charge did not concern him he had
nothing to say. As to the second charge,
which referred to himself. he said he had
known Gen. Raum twenty-five years. His
financial standing was high, and his indors-
ers were men of reputation, SO when he
wanted money to open up his mining propx
erty the witness Endorsed two of his notes,
one for 5000 and one for $4,000, which
were subsequently extended. Respecting
the charge that witness secured undue ad-
vantage from the completed files order, he
said the completed files order was not novel
in principle, but it had been
the practice of the Office for years,
towards the end of-ta fiscal year, to pick
out such completed cases and dispose of
them. That had been done by Commits
sioner Black II was wise practice. The
charge that Commissioner Raum had given
him any undue advantage in the completed
files order was an unqualified falsehood.
and, furthermore, it would be an absolute
impossibllity for the commissioner to favor
him. The witness never asked anything
from Commissioner Raum or any other
commissioner to which he was not entitled
to as an attorney. Unfair as Cooper had
been he invited him to como to his ofics

Fiendish Attempt to Wreck q Train on the
Central.
PouGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Sept. 8.-A des-
perate attempt was made tonight to wreck
the fast st. Louis and Chicago express
which leaves New York on the New York
Central at p. m. The train was stopped
by the danger signal south of Old Troy, 600
yards from New Hamburg drawbridge. Two
minutes previous the flagman had dis
covered several ties standing endways in a
culvert near Old Troy. When he took hold
of one of the ties to remove it he was fred
upon from the bushes on the east side of
the track. Knowing the fast express was
nearly due. he ran southwark and set the
danger signal, which stopped the train.
The laRman said the ties stuck up above
the rails and would have certainly thrown
the train from the track. The fast train
was composed of seven or eight sleeping
cars, all full, two ordinary coaches and
baggage car. There were eight ties on the
up main track. Two ties were also placed
alongside of the rail toward the south 30 as
to ditch the train. The train passed here
half an hour later.

charged clerks. That would obviate the
necessity for making baseless charges.
Cooper cross-examined the witness. He

done So completely. The committee had
seen the stock book of the company. He
denied that the refrigerator was a fraud.
Cooper knew he had sold no stock to PEN
sion Office employees. There was con-
spiracy in this city and Cooper was being
used as a tool to break down his (Raum's) J
credit. Cooper knew the charges were q
dismal failure and could not be sustained.
and he wished to draw in other thingsso as,
BY hook or crook, to injure him (Raum).
He should rest on his legal rights to refuse
to have his private business dragged out by
Cooper. Cooper insisted on the necessity
for a production of the books as the best
proof of stockholders. The committee,
after a private conversation, decided it
would reserve its decision on the matter un-
til it had an opportunity to ascertain the
extent of its powers to compel the produc-
tion of private papers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-[Special. 1T is
said i'll Washington by Montana man who
has been here for several weeks that Power
has been actively working in the interests
of Thompson Campbell as Carter successor
in the house. It it known that the best Of

Carter. They have not agreed on all mat
ters pertaining to Montana. In appoint
ments there has been a great deal of differ
ence. The prominence that Carter has as
sumed in the house and in politics has not
been exactly pleasant to Power. For Car
ter's successor it is claimed Power is using
every means to secure Campbell, who is
his personal friend and with whom he will
be able to work legislation more to his lik-
ing.

task imposed by the bill would require an
additional appropriation of several thou

plurality is 4,752, against 2. 439 in 1888. The
remaining towns are small and will not ma

of the republican state ticket will be about
1900, gain of $500 over ,a6, and 1000
ahead of presidential year. The prohibi-
tion vote comes united with the scattering

and may be considerably larger. Themem
bers of congress are all reelected by large
majorities, Reeds being doubled. County
officers are mostly republicans. The
senators are probably all republicans,
as in the last legislature, and repre-
sentatives must stand full as strong
