The Cooperation Election Goes "Dry."

The Cooperation Election Goes "Dy.
The corporation election in Shep-
herdstown last Monday resulted in
the election of the following officers:
Mayor-W. n. Lemen.
Recorder. n. Trussell.
Councilmen-James W. Kerney, R.
NJ. Billmyer, L. w. Poffenberger.
John H. little and Jacob Terrell.
1t was close shave for the tenn
perance party, but by a very tight
squeeze the saloons will not be al
lowed to flourish here for at least an
other year. Two of the license can
didates, Messrs. Poffsnberger and
Billmyer, were elected, but they will
be in a minority, as all the other
members Of the council are opposed
to granting license.
The election passed off very quietly
and rainy day made things look
suspicious for the wet ticket. The
total vote polled was 23s, considerably
less than last year Both sides
worked very hard for their candidates,
and a change Of two votes would
have changed the result. The tenn
perance ticket was that published in
last weeks REGISTER. The license
men could get no candidate for May
or, so they placed Mr.. Lemen's name
at the head of their ticket. Mr.. VIM.
A. Chapline ran for Recorder, and the
Couucilmen were Messrs Billmyer,
Poffenberger, WIN. A. Weis, Samuel
p. Humrickhouse and WIN. l.. Arthur.
The three last-named gentlemen
were not candidates, however, and
their names were used without their
consent. They declined to even vote
the license ticket.
The new Council will qualify the
first of April.

in q manner done much TO appease
such anxiety, and the majority are
satisfied aud glad that with spring
the restoration of the canal as a wa
tervay seems certain, and that once
more the various enterprises along
the canal and the picturesque old Po-
tomac may soon be going on as be
fore. and the old boat-horn can be
heard that will make many hearts
glad.
There will be a number OF lots laid
of in Bakerton soon and any one de-
string to buy lot and build them
selves a home can do 40 here, as they

The Nsws of the Railroads.

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
have commenced the laying Of heav-
Ter steel rails on the Shenandoah
Valley branch from Roanoke to Shen-
andoah. The Sc pound steel rail is
being to ken up to be replaced by a
81 pound rail.
The gain in the passenger business
OF the b. & o. Railroad between New
York and Washington is shown by
its increase in the travel between
those cities. In the month OF Febru-
ary 1O,17O more passengers were car
ried than in the same month last
year. Three new engines have been
placed on this line, and they are per-
haps, the finest and fastest ever built
in this country. The driving-wheels
are six inches high, and the cylinders
are twenty inches by twenty-four.
Eight powerful ten-wheel passenger
engines have been placed on the
mountain division. They weigh sixty
seven and a-half tons, and have driv-
g-wheels six feet two inches high
and cylinders twenty-one inches by
twenty-five.
The Western Maryland Railroad
Company is preparing for the early
completion of it's branch line from
Williamsport to Cherry Run, dis
lance of about fourteen miles, where
it connects with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The contract has
been let to Messrs. Ryan & Mcdonald
OF Baltimore.
No drunken man ought to walk on
the railroad track. Jack Higdon, OF
Frederick county, was trying it on
Sunday, when train struck him
near Point of Rocks and killed him.
The bill to give the Norfolk l. West
ern Railroad entrance into Washing
ton City was never taken down from
the nail on which it was hung up in
the Senate by Mr.. Edmunds, so the
n. & W., il it needs a Washington
connection Immediately, must have it
by the Virginia Midland or the b. d
q. Railroad.
The C. g. o. Railroad Company have
passed an order prohibiting their
agents selling tickets to persons who
are under the influence OF liquor
neither do they allow conductors to
take drunken man on the trains.
On April 1st the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad will put on a new train TO
be called the Flying Dutchman,
which is to make the trip between
Washington and Cincinnati at an av-
erage speed Of fifty miles all hour-if
possible. 1t will leave Washington at
Cd. III. and arrive in Cincinnati at
1876 next morning.
The annual report OF the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad Company for
the year ending December 81, 1890,
Just published, shows the year to have
been the most prosperous in the his
tory of the company. The earnings
of the main line and leased roads
were 81, O63, 2O4 76, an increase of S177,-
645.1O. The earnings Of the main line
were 1919, 500. A; operating expenses
S667, 1873. SO, leaving net earnings of
$251 ,650.s6
The Western Maryland Railroad is
testing steam.heating methods on Its
passenger coaches. Two trains have
been fitted with the necessary APP
paratus-one with the Martin and the
other with the Consolidated. These
trains are now running. A third
train is being fitted with the Gold APP
paratus. The object is to test the
several methods and adopt the most
satisfactory.

These Tickets Won Z 10 IN S0epheF0st0"H'
The public-spirited managers OF the
license ticket went TO Hagerstown
again this year to have their ballots
printed. This is evidently regarded by
them az a very shrewd move, but
most people regard it as very petty
act. 1t is indeed a good thing that
such a spirit will not dominate our
municipal affairs, and it's no wonder
the managers Of the liquor cause
find it SO difficult to get the right
sort of men to serve on their tickets.

letter to the New York anti-free-coin-

II do not see how the Democratic
party can commit itself TO free coin
age, as there is disagreement on the
subject between our people in the
South and West and the East. In
the coming national contest We can
not afford to have a division OF the
party on this or any other question.

Here's Fun.

There's blood on the moon down in
Washington. Ever since the bitter
Speakership fight, Mills, the defeated
candidate, has been sulking. A more
sour individual would be difficult to
run across in these broad United States
just at this time. And what's worse
his successful opponent, Crisp, is en-.
gagged in the rather harrassing amuse.
ment Of pouring vitriol on the wound
Of his vanquished adversary. A day
or two ago he sent a letter to Mills
asking him if second place on the
Ways aud Means committee, and
chairman of the Commerce committee
would be satisfactory to him. And
here is the great free traders caustic
reply:
My DEAR SIR-I have received
your letter of the 18th instant, asking
me "if it would be agreeable or accept.
able" to me to be appointed second on
the committee on Ways and Means,
and in addition to such assignment, to
be appointed chairman of the commit.
tee on Commerce, or chairman of the
committee on Postofices and Postroads,
or chairman of some committee whose
work is less laborious than Commerce
or Postoffices.
Having been a member of the com.
mittee on Ways and Means for ten
years, and chairman in the Fiftieth
Congress, the reasons which have in
your judgment rendered my appoint.
ment as chairman unwise would dis.
qualify me for service in any other
place on that committee, and it would
not be sincere to say that it would be
agreeable to accept your tender.
leave to you, without any sugges.
tion from me, to make such other as,
signment as you, in the discharge Of
your official duty, may determine.
Yours truly, r. @. MILLS.
Brother Crisp has not been heard
from since on the subject, but it is be.
lieved that he will be inclined to let
the Cleveland champion sulk to his
hearts content for the balance of the
session. And there'll be fun, no
doubt.
