An investigation which has been made
into the st. Mande disaster discloses the
startling fact that the accident was
caused by some unknown m%iscreant,
who deliberately altered the signals so as
to bring the two trains into collision.
This announcement has caused the
most intense inclination among the rela-
tives and friends of the victims and has
aroused popular feeling generally to Il
state of great excitement.
The town hall of st. Mande presents a
fearful spectacle. The blackened bodies
of the dead lie in rows upon the floor and
upon the tables. In some cases the re-
mains are little more han heaps of Gin

The Marquis and Marehioness Of Mont

hopelessly wedged and pinned in the

All that humanity could do to extri-

stand helplessly by and listen to the
awful din made by the cracking flames,

the doomed.
It now appears that in addition to the
other horrors of the collision, the death
by drowning of many Of the imprisoned
passengers is TO be added. Forty min

able TO obtain water. When, however,
they did so, they poured torrents upon

not long stand the impertinence and
the officiousness of these interferers

nuisance to both sides of labor con-
troversies he is clothed with the power
of an autocrat, and many a poor man
is made to suffer and put in actual
want by him, because of the dictatorial
power invested by misguided labor
organizations IN him.
The Office is an expensive one for the
labor organizations, and its only
benefit is to keep in a well-salaried
position a man who had better be
working with pick and shovel, leaving

Stirring Picture.

Some graphic pencil delineates in
the Cumberland Times the thrilling
scene presented in the County Com
missioners' Office last week when the
county editors were playing the great
"united- we-stand- undivided we-fall"
drama.
The artist had evidently studied the
Centennial Photographic group some
what, and therefrom caught pointers
sufficient to blaze the way for rather
pretty imagination. He selected the
fearful moment when hundreds of
indispensable dollars were hanging by
thread:

come of the unique contest. Nor had they
long to wait.
But for one thing the JOURNAL could
see all that plain as day.
Just one thing:

diplomatic Oder" was not there

The Homecoming Star quotes four of
the Meyersdale Commercials fourteen
lines to show that the Commercial does
not side with the JOURNAL.
And then it fails.
Why?
Because the Commercial, in speaking
of the "21 pounds" says:
the unit of money takes the unit of
sugar.
Now, then, if the Commercial can
afford to verify the Stars construction
of its attitude, it can also contradict
itself in a way that is fiat.
If the JOURNAL misrepresented the
Commercial, as the Star alleges, the
Commercial of this week is silent about

Don't be Alarmed.

The JOURNAL cordially and confident
ly assures the people that there is no
Eruption, no uprising, no insurrection
among them due to the current status
of the county printing.
All talk, therefore, "fellow-citizens
and hosses," about your rumbles and
neighs of dissatisfaction is misleading
and may be traced to rebellious
thought of which a warm wish is the
fond father.
"The press" is great lever, it is
true, but that portion of it that has to
howl over official neglect, not as a
matter of principle, but of dollars and
cents, is not likely to be worked by
men who WELD the rod of Hermes.
People, do not be alarmed. The
press of this county is not an avenging
Nemesis. A speck of it, like that
across the street, may remark to the
"Majer," as the waiter passes by,
''the country is ruined" but, take
the JOURNALS word for it, the country
is safe! A molecule of the "bull-
works of liberty" may be imperiled by
missing the county printing, but as
whole the country is 0. K.
For of the legion of insurrectionists
quoted as being in respondent,
vengeful mood, the patriotic name of
not one is given!
The pathetic voices that have been
heard are the pretended popular
echoes of the groans of the martyrs.

Question:,

Everybody here knows that had the
West Virginia coal interest gotten
hold of the canal that no worse blow
could have fallen on this region.
Yet the Merchants and Manufac
turers' journal, of Baltimore, rank
Frank Brown organ, says:
One of the most unfortunate things that
ever happened in this State has been the
failure to sell or lease the Baltimore and Ohio
canal, owing to the decision of Judge Alvey,
handing over the canal to the bondholders of
1871. 1t was clearly victory of corporate
power over the people, and instead of the
State making anything out of "the old ditch"
it will lose all ever expended on it. Had the
canal been leased as the act of the last Legis-
lature provided, the State would have realized
something considerable out of the invest
ment. As it is now the State will not only
lose all, but have no prospect of future gain
And yet some newspapers heralded the de-
cision of the court as verdict in favor of the
people.
The contrary is true.
Less than dozen men were to get
all out of the canal that was in it, some
of those men not citizens even.
AS it is now, if the State never gets
anything it will be no worse off than
when it abandoned the canal to be
finished by the bondholders of n.
The latter. in fact, saved to the
State its voluntary forfeit of all the
money then sunk in the canal.
After making this record for itself
had Judge Alvey allowed the State to
come in and divest the n people Of
their precedence his act would have
been bold-faced robbery.
Now, then

A Possible Good.

The JOURNAL wrote "an appeal
last week to the maltreated readers of
the Homecoming Star.
But the Star, with an obtuseness
equal in magnitude to its unconscious
ignorance of grammar, gives it out
that the "appeal" was penned for
JOURNAL readers-a class of fortunates
wholly exempt from need of sympathy.
Which shows that the Star can't be
honest and can't tell the truth.
1t is almost a good thing the Levy
list was not printed in the Star.
The people thus reached would have
had to take it with several grains of

Come Home to Roost."

''ChIckenS Come Home TO ROOSt.
When Boss Tweed, then at the zenith of
his power, was openly charged with EN-
bezzlng the public funds he answered his ac-
cusers in this laconlc fashion:
Well, what are you going to do about 1t?
This by ''Independent,' writing to
the Cumberland Times.
The JOURNAL quotes it merely to
ask who ''set the pace for Boss Tweed
ism in this county.
The Cumberland Courier, whose
manager was and is State Office
holder, permitted himself to become
an organizer Of scheme which con-
centrated all registration printing
nominally in one Office, really two
one of them his own.
The JOURNAL denounced the mean
business at the time, and it remembers
that it was never treated more sour
rilously in any controversy than that
a contention that bristled all over ON
their side with Tweed's ''laconic"
query.
But the Courier and the Times sowed
then the very seed whose crop they
are harvesting now; the "bread cast
upon the waters" has returned, and
they are taking the dose similar to
that which they forced down the JOUR
NAILS throat.
If, therefore, the loss of portion
of the county work is ''shirt of
Nessus," the Commissioners borrowed
only the pattern.
The garment itself was originally
cut and made by the Courier and Times
for all their contemporaries.

Another Recruit.

By the way, here is passage from
the pen of a private writer to the
JOURNAL, which we venture to re-
produce in spite of an injunction to the
contrary:
"2l pounds of sugar is worth dollar"
The question of the agreement Ga phrase
borrowed from Latin idlom and having no
place in English-yide Richard Grant White 8
work, Words and Their Uses"-grand book,
profound, philosophical of the verb with its
substantive is one which involves mainly the
unity or plurality of the idea, as determined
by the CONTEXT to be in the mind of the
writer.
The explanations made by the JOURNAL is
conclusive proof that it not only used the
verb correctly, but 1t had no right, with
singularity of idea in contemplation, to EN-
ploy the plural form of expression.
No one who has mastered English can hold
any other view, whatever those may think
who have committed to memory a lot of
"verbiage'' about the language.
Why, sir those blackboa draughtsmen
who controvert your analyses cannot chalk
up grammatical diagram comprising the
sugar and the dollar without demonstrating
that you are right.
&c. you see am with you, etc.
The writer is, perhaps, little out
of practice, but it is evident he has re-
tanned enough of his school acquire
ments to show that his common sense
has still some hold on the philosophy of
LANGUAGE
