Democratic politics got little boost
Monday evening at meeting in
Meats Opera House. two accounts Of
which have reached the JOURNAL.
The first relates that there were
nine persons present, one of whom
was republican that there were
enough slmon-pure stalwarts to pre-
vent the proposed club from becoming
in name Frank Brown attachment.
The second reports that ''quite an
enthusiastic number was present.
this number being fixed, according to
a man who was not there. at 37-just
one less than the Royal 49," To say
that number is ':enthusiastlc" is
somewhat cloudy, numerically speak
ing. However, the organization is a
good thing if it is a political-not a
personal affair. The State of Mary
land is already cursed with too much
personal politics. The club is to meet
again next Monday evening to perfect
arrangementsto boom things. Hence,
those who are leading want all the
democrats from Mesopotamia and the
regions beyond, from Lebanon and
the isles of the sea, to be present in
time for the opening prayer.
Both accounts agree that the follow
ing gentlemen were elected officers:
President-Dr. J. NJ. Hanway.
Vice President-Fred Mayer.
Secretary-Daniel Scally.
Treasurer-T. G.. Dillon.

The JOURNAL met Mr.. Armstrong,
resident agent of the Borden mining
company, the other day and asked him
about the circumstances of the death
of John Tighe. The substance of his
reply is printed below, because it for
tunately carries out in the main the
JOURNALS statement elsewhere made:
The death of John Tighe in the Shaft oc-
Cured IA or Is years ago, long before my
connection with the company. From what
can learn he was employed as trapper and
started to go from the point where employed
by way of the horse entrance to his home.
He was alone and missed his way and in
rambling about got into some old abandon
ed workings which were unused and never
entered by the employees. Here he en-
countered black damp which caused his
death.
Our mines are now ventilated by 16-foot
rotary suction fan, are free from black damp,
as any of our employees will testify. We be-
ileve in supplying our men with fresh, pure
air, and everything has been done to accom-
piish this result that money and machinery
can do.
Mr.. Armstrong also stated that dur
ing the nine years of his connection
with the company not miner had
been killed in the company's service
by black damp or any other cause. In
that time the company had mined two
millions tons of coal. too, exhibiting
death rate which, in his Judgment, is
smaller than any other coal region in
the world can show. With his COM
pany the chances of casualty from all
causes are reduced to a minimum.
The props are hauled to the miners
and the company's regulation requir-
ing their erection as headings progress
is memorable. So fan as the company
is possibly able to oversee his work it
compels every MINER TO keep his work
iDg-place in safe condition.

ThnCOal Trade.

The railroad companies carrying coal
recently advanced freights % cents
per ton, and movements in trade
circles indicate that eventually the
price of coal will be correspondingly
augmented. Under these circum-
stances not many contracts are max
ing, but it is apprehended that matters
will be shaped up and settled down by
April LIST. The stock on hand is light,
and 'liyely times" says the Engineer

ment that he ''saw something nightly

Capt Schmutz, of Decatur street, was the
recipient of fragrant message from the land
of flowers, orange blossoms. Strawberries and
roses. 1t was a striking revelation of the
contrast between the Seml-troplcal and frozen

Frostburg Takes the Parker Process

F'rOStburg Takes the Parker Process
Gas.
The Frostburg gas light company
has purchased of Thomas H. Paul &
Son the first plant for manufacturing
the Parker process gas that has ever
been made. The purchase includes,
of course, the right to make, distribute
and sell the gas for all purposes
lighting, heating and mechanical.
The price paid was $4,000, which, in
this case, includes the transfer and
erection of the plant at the company's
works.
The company proposes, we under
stand, to push the introduction of the
gas into all the uses it is designed to
serve and to develop its utility and
value as far as they are possibly able.
1t will not be long before it is turned
into the company's mains, and a little
later its resources and power as a
heater will be fully demonstrated.
This intention gives rise to a general
expectation that the price of gas will
be much lower than heretofore.
The JOURNAL congratulates the
company upon this undoubtedly i'm
mense accession to its capacity to
supply any and all demands that NAV
be made upon it.
