 allel. The action against the New York and Eeatern railway was really by Henry Hun- gerford. He engaged for a consideration of $500, GOO in the stock of that company, to be paid when the road was built, to secure for them all the necessary bonds for right of way, depots, side-traoks, gravel-pits, etc. He was to sustain all of the expense except that of engineering, which was to be paid by the railway company. After the collapse of the parallel scheme in the legisla- ture Hungerford sued to recover a sum equal to the par value of $500, ,O0o of the stock of the road, for services ren. dered. The incorporators refused to pay, and the matter was referred to Julian B. Curtis, who disallowed the greater part of Hungerford's claim and awarded him only SC, ,460.26 with interest. Hungerford re. fused to accept this amount, and filed a re. monstrance with the superior court. The court overruled the remonstrance and Hun- gerford appealed to the supreme court of er- TOTS. The supreme court finds that there was error in the decision of the superior court, and overruled the decision. The opinion is by Chief Justice Andrews.
 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says: "Au additional surprise in military circles is the sentence in the case of Private M. H. Barton of the City Guard, who in general orders | issued by the adjutant general on Saturday was dismissed from the military service of | the state and disqualified from re entering E the same for the period of five years from 1 date, in accordance with the sentence of the field officers court martial held by Colonel Erichson last Monday. The points made al the trial by Mir. Frank E. Hyde, Barton'e counsel, were apparently overruled or ignored, as action at brigade headquarters and the ad. jutant generals office was promptly taken It is the first time in the military history of the state that a sentence debarring a man from again entering the military service or for any period was ever imposed. At the trial Private Barton posi- lively affirmed that he would perform all duty required of him as member of the state militia. The charge preferred against him was disobedience to orders for which un. der section 3,201 of the general statutes a man may be fined not more than ten dollars. In extreme or aggressive cases it has been the custom to try the man by court-martial, and in rare cases . sentence of dishonorable dis charge has been imposed Under paragraph of 1,790 of the regulations O. N. G., 1884, every person convicted by court-rnartiai has right to appeal to the commander-in. chief within twenty days, which appeal under paragraph l, 702 suspends the execution of tho Gentenoe until tho final deoision.n

CARDINAL GIBBONS, in an address
of congratulation to the congregation
of St. Vincent's Church, uses these
words: "When we find the most up
right citizens taking no interest in
politics. showing no zeal for the good
government of the country, we may
expect political stagnation and cor
ruption. But when the best citizens
manifest interest in public affairs, we
have good government and honest

is the duty of every man to take an
active personal interest in the welfare
of his country and to see that the
best citizens are elected to public
places"

WE TAKE the following extract
from our neighbor, the Mountain
Democrat, of last week:
AS it is not probable that anything
not eulogistic of the Mckinley Tariff
Bill will ever appear in the columns
of the Oakland REPUBLICAN. we
give the following dispatch from
Washington tor the benefit of Our
Republican readers as we'll us of the
general public.
The despatch referred to is letter
purporting to have been written and
sent by Mr.. Blaine to Senator Hale
Now, dear brother, don't speculate
upon what may or may not appear
in the columns OF THE REPUBLICAN,
concerning the tariff or any Other
subject affecting the interests of the
people.
AS to the Mckinley bill we are al
most in love with those of its SEIZED
ules which apply to the resources and
Industries of Garrett County.
Let US see.
1t ipsures a greater profit to Oul
armers on their wool and therefore
encourages larger Investments IN
sheep, with consequent increased re-
turns to their owners.
It protects our lumber industry
and enhances the value of our forests
thereby raising the price ofour lands
1t secures to our maple sugar pro-
ducers a bounty upon their commo
dityjwith greater remuneration fol
their labor.
1t retains the duty upon foreign
coal, thus enabling the Georges
Creek mines to keep open, giving
steady employment to the thousands
of consumers of the products of our
county. and thereby affording a good
and constant market to our farmers
With these advantages accruing to
our people by reason of the McKin
ley bill. why should anything derog.
atory of its provisions appear in the
columns of the REPUBLICAN
This journal is being conducted in
the interests of the people. and would
they not be justified in placing the
seal of their condemnation upon us
should we so far forget our trust as
to advocate anything or any measure
which would result in their economic
and financial destruction?

A despatch from Annapolis says
that Hiram P. Tasker, as agent for
Garrett and Allegany counties. and
in conformity with an act of the last
Legislature. has petitioned, through
his counsel, Eihu S. Riley. for writ
of mandamus to compel j. Thomas
Scharf to allow him free access to the
records of the land office. Mr.. Tas.
ker is engaged, under contract with
Garrett and Allegany counties, in
searching out the titles to the unas.
sessed and untaXed military lots in
Garrett and Allegany counties, and
the Legislature, in view of the fact
that no State taxes have been paid
on the lots for the last half century,
passed law to rebate all the accrued
fses in the lond Office. The lots
without owners are to be sold and
the proceeds are to be turued over
to the State treasury. Mr. Tasker
has been denied free access to the
records of the land Office. Hence his
petition for mandamus. The first of
August has been set by the circuit
court of Anne Arundel county for a
hearing of the cause. In Garrett
Couty alone one fourth of the area of
the county is now unassessed and
untaxed."
