Ernest Forbes, the colored man
who in November last committed an
assault on Miss Bertha PhiDps. a
white girl in Anne Arundel County,
and was last week convicted Of the
crime, has been sentenced to be
hanged on Friday. April 81. Forbes
crime almost caused race riot and
lynching at Annapolis. where he was
temporarily confined after the COM
mission of the deed.
1t may he interesting to some of
the Rev. M. w. RIDERS friends to
know of his remarkable success in his
work at Kingwood. where he is now
stationed and holding a protracted
meeting. The attendance has been
large from the first service and the
interest in the work unabated. 1t
had been announced that the meeting
would close last week, but the excel
lent attendance indicate that the
work will go on. There have been
several conversions thus far and a
number of accessions to the church.
The large sum of money, which
was spent by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company in putting the
magnificent Royal Blue Line on the
road between Washington and New
York, is earning good returns. Dur
ing the month of January 10000
more passengers were carried on the
line between Baltimore and New
York than were carried in the same
month last year. This enormous in
crease was not due TO excursion
round trip, or any unusual effort to
stimulate business, and is a plain out
growth of catering to the comforts
and wishes of travellers.

chimes generate electricity at a speed
of 1875 revolutions and the arc ma
chine generates at little less speed
1925 revolutions. The current passes
out of the machines on a number of
wires to the switch board. and from
thence to the distributing wires
which carry it along the the streets.
The machines are Of the Sperry pat
tern, are only Sc inches high. are
provided with self-oiling arrange.
ments, and weigh about 1400 pounds
each. The fioor.space they occupy Is
about 2x3 feet each.
Over two and a-half tons of copper
wire of different sizes have been
strung along the streets and in build -.
ings to carry and distribute the pro-
duct of these three swiftly moving
contrivances.
THE TEST.
The test of the machines was made
Friday night by Messrs. John E. and
Harry Fllbert and Louis King. of
the Edison Company, and Messrs. P.
A. Chisholm and Abraham Layton,
of the Oakland Company. The test
of the incandescent lights proved sat-
isfactory except in few places. but
these were soon remedied. The arc
lamps were placed in position on the
streets Saturday afternoon and about
6 O'Clock, in the midst of terrific
hail and wind storm. the current was
TUNED on. Everything worked like
a charm, and for the first time in the
history of Oakland our streets were
decently lighted. The stores, Offices
and dwelling houses that are lighted
by it all present brilliant appear
ance and the smoky kerosene lamp
is a thing of the past.
Credit lie due to the gentlemen who
are at the head of this enterprise, anC
we hope they may realize hand
some return from their Investment
The officers are all busters and w
bespeak bright future for the com
pany.
We hope the day is not far dissan
when more of the same kind of en-
terprise will strike the town ant

To the County Commissioners of Garrett

The time is rapidly approaching
for you to make the annual levy for
1891. Among other important item 9
the one for our public schools IS the
most important. For years the chit.
dren of our county have been com.
PEELED by false economy on the part
of the taxpayers to submit to On in

stead of four months school term
we should haye at least six months
term. While other counties, states
and nations are adopting a system OF
compulsory education, Garrett is lay.
glng behind, and why? We want
to economics, but is it true economy
to keep the children of our county in
| ignorance when we can do better ?
Is it true economy to have but four
months school and in this way keep
out many persons who would come
and settle in our county, hut who
want their children to keep pace
with the world and consequently set
tie in some county where this ques.
ton is looked at in its true light and
their children have the advantage OF
a common school education. We
loose many persons who would be
ccme taxpayers on this account.
Then if we want TO economic
there is an item of $50 a year which
is paid for rent for rooms in which t.
hold the elections. Why could not
the elections be held in schoUl- houses
and the amount for rent be paid into
the school fund instead of to private
individuals? 1t is true, this is
small item and yet it is cents tina
make dollars. and this item alone
since the organization OF our couny
would have built two good schoo
houses. The cost to run the schools
independent of buildings, is "a Ia

school it will take SS.294. With :
taxable basis of more than $1,000. O0(
you will see at once that the increas

But be that as it may, we ask it no

WITHOUT A SKIP.
Arion, the Two ear-Old, Trots
a Full Mile in 2:10 ga.
PalO Alto Fails to Reduce His Record-Aller-
ton Goes a Fast Mile-Racing at
Chicago and Washington.

STOCKTON, Cal, Nov, 10.-Palo Alto made
race against his record of 2:0915 to-day,
but broke twice and made the mile in2 :1OI.
Arlon, the worlds best two-year- old, made
wonderful mile, going against his record
of 2:1415. He trotted mile without skip
in 2:1OI
Old turfmen said Arion's performance
was wonderful. This colt, which is one of
Electioneer's, came to Stockton few
weeks ago with race record of 2:21 and at
the first attempt reduced his mark o2153I,
beating the worlds two-year-ol record of
2:1S then held by Sunol. Marvin drove
Arion again, reducing his record to 2 :l414
which all horsemen said would never be
equaled unless Arion himself could beat the
marx. To-day, driven by Marvin and &C
companied by a runner, Arion made the
mile in 2:l0%. 1t was the greatest race
against time ever seen on any track, for it
finish. Everybody gave Marvin credit for
his training and handling of the greatest
colt on earth.
Late this afternoon Marvin trotted Pale
Alto second time. The horse was not
distressed by his first fast work and
seemed to go wonderful mile. The stall
lion started at a terrific gait with runner
at the side Of him. He made the quarter
in 313l and the half in :0315, then slowed
up little, reaching the three-quarter posi-
in l 1868 and finished without skip in
| 2:09$l, only quarter of second behind
his best work and half second behind tn.

Automatic Couplers and Brakes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. The committee sp-
pointed by the last national convention Of
railroad commissioners to secure congress
sional action looking to uniformity of safety
appliances for railroad cars, met this morn
ing, four members being present. There
was a large attendance Of railroad men
from all parts of the country. Chairman
Croker opened the proceedings by reading
the replies which the committee had re-
ceived from companies representing 125, 900
miles of railroad, concerning the kind OF
automatic couplers and brakes used on
freight cars. They fix the total number of
freight cars in the United States at 97S, 00C,
OF which number only 129, 300 were shown
to be equipped with automatic car couplers.
Chairman Croker said in the opinion of
the committee Imperative action should be
taken by Congress TO hasten and insure the
equipment Of freight cars throughout the
country with uniform automatic couplers
and train brakes. In coupling or uncoup-
ling cars there were killed during the year
ending June 80, 1889, over three hundred
employees, while 6, 757 were injured. Dur
ing the following years 1863 were killed and
7,S41 injured.
Colonel Haines, president OF the Ameri-
can Railroad association, reminded the
committee that the association was now
engaged in making the master car builders
coupler (the vertical hook the standard
coupler throughout the system, that type
having been agreed upon as the best.
Haines said there was 200, 600 freight cars
in the country, only 100000 of which are
equipped with automatic couplers. The
cost of equipping the other 100000 would
be s25, 600, 900 and five years time at least
would be required. The aggregate cost Of
fitting up cars with air brakes the country
over would be $4,000, 90. These things
must be considered

A Strike on the st. Louis Belt Line.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10.-The engineers and
firemen on the Belt line have just declared
strike. This will probably spread to
other lines, as Mr. Arthur stated no
freight will be handled by brotherhood
men going to the Belt line or Virgins
Ferry company.
There are but ffty-two engineers and
fremen in the employ of the Virgins com
psny, and the strike of them alone would
not amount to much, but the Belt line
handles nearly all the freight sent over
eastern roads for this city, and tie-up of
the Belt line wouli leave an immense
amount of freight consigned to st. Louis
and seriously affect the trade of this city.
Then, too, if the men On otuer roads refuse
to haul cars consigned to or from the Wig
gins Ferry company, as Chief Arthur says
they will, the roads are very apt to attempt
TO force them, and If they do strike on the
big western roads would result. A strike
will probably be inaugurated to- morrow.
Mr.. Arthur and MIR. Sargent were seen
this evening. They stated all efforts to-
ward a peaceful settlement of the difficulty
had failed, and therefore all the engineers
and fremen employed by the company
would be ordered out at noon tomorrow
