Oakland and the B. 80,

The Cumberland News, of Mon
day, in reference to the attitude of
the b. & 0. toward the Oakland au-
thorities. made the following edlto-
rial comment, under the above cap
ton:
1.-The decision of Oakland's town
council to enforce the ordinance
regulating the speed of railroad
trains through the town promises
to be the cause of much comment.
That there will be trouble there is
no doubt and that Oakland will win
is sure and certain. There has been
trouble between the Oakland town
council and the B. & o. railroad for
some time, but "the last straw that
broke the camels back" as the
Oakland folks say, was the death of
a young man there recently by a
train that was gong at a rapid rate
of speed. Mr.. John X. Cowen, the
general counsel of the B. & o. R.
r. has informed the council that he
will enjoin them if any attempt is
made to reduce the speed of the
trains. n reduction Of speed in
the running Of trains means a good
deal to the railroad company which
has just put the schedule time back
several minutes IN order to accom-
modate their patrons.
"There is no doubt but that the
Oakland people are right IN their
decision and resolution. When life
and property is at stake and in dan
ger Of destruction such prccaution-
airy measures as will tend to remedy
the trouble should be taken, and if
possible, the trouble should be re-
moved. There is no reason to
doubt but that the trains running
through the town could be Stacked
up at the outskirts. 1t would only
mean minute or two to the rail
road where it might mean a life to
one of Oakland's residents. The
trouble will be adjusted, it is hoped,
and all danger of death or accident
removed"

HIS LATEST INVENTION.

The patent for an unequaled der
rick and railroad wrecking machine
has just been obtained by Mr.. John
Cornelius, the owner of the patent
for the great stump puller, the ex-
hibition of which caused so much
favorable comment from all inter-
ested in advances in mechanical in
ventions.
The new patent is a perfect Won
der for power, and can be used for
al kinds of derrick, train and
bridge work, and in fact for heavy
work of every description. 1t is to
be constructed Of steel castings,
and by means of spur and worm
gearing, such an enormous increase
of power can be obtained that the
power OF one man can lift weight
Of 100000 pounds. The motion
necessary for so great an increase
of power is given by cranks or lev
erS, and can be operated by either
man or horse.
The construction is such that
any load can be raised any desired
distance and it is absolutely safe in
every respect, as the arrangement
provides against the possibility of
either slipping or dropping. An
other most valuable feature of this
remarkable invention is its extreme
compactness, weighing but 400
pounds and occupying space of "a
x30 inches. 1t can be used for
horizontal moving, or placed on
any derrick for lifting purposes.
In fact, it is applicable to almost
every purpose requiring heavy work,
and from its size can be transpor-
ted with the utmost ease. AL
though Mr.. Cornelius is from Oak
land, Maryland, his stay with us
has made him seem like one of us,
and the fact that the wonderful
machine is to be manufactured here
makes it an Alliance invention.
For simplicity and perfect mechan-
ism as well as for universal utility
and extreme compactness, it is in
deed a model invention, and one
which must bring wealth, not only
to its patentee and manufactures,
but to the city which shall contain
the plant for producing it. A
stock company will take hold of its
manufacture and without doubt an
other large and substantial indus
try will be built up in Alliance, as
result of the years of study,
which Mr.. Cornelius has spent to
make this an invention complete
and perfect in every detail of it's
construction. .-Alliance Leader.

White. 1t is said that marriages
