BELATED.-Thc nearest approach to win
ter that we naye seen for some years is that
furnished us during the past week. In six
days we have had three snow falls and un'
broken cold, approaching if not reaching the
lowest temperature of the winter. On Mon.
day night at about ten O'Clock snow began
to fail in business like way and when
morning came there were three inches OF
snow and continued falling during the
either day.

SHORT OF HOTELS - Recently six citizens
of this place found themselves at II O'Clock
D. m, registered at hotel in Westminster
with but one double bed at the command OF
the entire half-dozen. Upon making inquiry
1t was found that one cf the other hotels had
been closed for some months and that from !,
second all of the furniture and fix ures had
been removed the night previous. between
the hour of 10 O'Clock and daylight. They
were I'm for it, and sat up with c .ch other
until the arrival of the Fast Mail, having for
company the ex-bartcndcr who had celc-
bratcd his cx.ng by getting gloriously booty
going to sleep and cndangerng his spinal
cord by bending his vertebrate over the back
of chair. The coal oil gave out, but the
gas was still there; the radiator cooled off,
but one of the SIX found the way to the boiler
room and awakening the fireman, induced
him to get up steam. They had novel
experience throughout, but not unpleasant
An UGLY RUMOR.-One presumably well
informed, said TO one of our citizens on
Monday last that before the Harrisburg
connection with the Reading system could
be completed, the Western Maryland railroad
would pass under the control of the Penn
sylvania railroad company and that the
Reading would thus be shut out from its
connection with the Baltimore and Ohio at
Cherry Run. We believe that this is unbound
ed and our hope is asstrong as our belief We
do not sec aught but misfortune in su;h
ownership, for thus would there be not a
whit of competition in the lumber and hard
coal traffic while in the Cumberland Valley
Pennsylvania and Maryland the Western
Maryland lines would Ike parallel to other
friendly llnes leading to the same points and
there could be no hope for more than n very
ordinary local passenger service.
The Pennsylvania company recognizes
Philadelphia and New York only as eastern
dcpots and il Baltimore permits that corpor-
alton to secure control OF the Western
Maryland, she deserves to see the course OF
traffic reversed ON all its lines, carrying II
westward and northward over the C. V. from
Shppensburg to Harrisburg and thence to
Philadelphia and that such would occur is
certain. II Baltimore knows what Is gooC
for her, she will not kill the only goose thai
has her for her single nest, while the Others
deposit their golden eggs In Philadelphia
