A Pleasant Meeting.

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, of Cumber-
land, president of the Frostburg gas and
electric light company, came up Mon
day evening and presided at the reg
ular monthly meeting of that organiza-
ton. The reports from all the officers
of the company were very satisfactory,
and we understand Mr.. Lowndes was
much pleased with the outlook for the
policy with which he began his ad-
ministratiOn-to furnish the people
with plenty of good gas at as low a rate
as the same quantity and quality can
be furnished. He has gone into the
business of making the works valuable
to the town and profitable to his COM
pauy, and with the tloroughness
which characterizes all his operations it
Is believed he will succeed. There is,
however, duty for the people to per-
form. They should remember that
they cannot now well do without gas
they have enjoyed its excellence, con-
venienee aud safety as an llluminatol
too long not to miss 1t sorely should
they permit the works to fall into
''innocuous desuctude. Hence, pa.
tronage of the company should be
liberal and ungrudging. The town
authorities. too should not seek to
squeeze the cost of THEN gas supply

Mr.. Gunnett moved that Baiiiit be-

Mr.. Jones wanted to learn if special

And Mr.. Gunnett wished to know if
one taxpayer was better than another,
and if town had charter!
Bailiff stated he was laboring under
great hardship, rs when levy was
first made Mr.. Haverstick had gone to
people and told them not to pay, but
he had succeeded in getting il all but
about 5000.
Mr.. Gunnett's motion was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Wright, Bailil
was instructed also to collect taxes for
9O-9l by law, if he cannot get them
otherwise.

Mr.. Gunnett said there was much
complaint about the street lights being
eXtinguished too soon and not lit in
time. He wanted an explanation.
Alex. Smith, superintendent OF the
gas company, said that only on one
occasion during his incumbency were
the lights not lit in time.

Drowned.

Charles Siegmund, son of Mrs. Julia
Siegmund and grandson of Charles C.
Heintz, of this place, was drowned
while bathing in the Potomac river,
opposite Cumberland, last Sunday
afternoon. The Nens tells the sad
story as follows:
Milton Keller, Shepherd Wilson and sew
eral other boys who were in bathing with
Siegmund say that Charlie, who could not
swim, had waded out to large stone, a short
distance from the shore, and had been there
but short time when he slipped off the stone
into deep water and was carried beyond the
reach of Keller who, holding to the abutment,
tried to grasp him by the shoulder, but the
current was too strong to allow him to retain
his hold. The boys seeing that Sicgmund
was drowning, became frightened and swan
for the shore, from which they saw their
friend sink beneath the water six times and
upon reaching the surface for the seventh
time he threw his arms above his head and
without uttering cry disappeared.
The news of the boy having been drowned
spread rapidly and soon hundreds of people
llIltu tIlc DdllkS VI lIt vi Doill lllt
West Virginia and Maryland side. Mr..
Heintz made his appearance among the first
and the work of recovering the boys body
was at once commenced many willing hands
assisting in the mournful occupation. Van
Wheeler, with several other young men,
dived for several hours and not being able to
find the body in this manner, Archie Will
lison secured dynamite cartridges and gave
them in charge of Roby Marsh, who ex-
ploded ten charges, but no avail Failing to
recover the body i'll this manner, Messrs.
John w. Avirett, William Hoover and H.
Wilson manned one boat and J. l.. Heintz
and William Crowley another They began to
drag the bottom and worked diligently until
about six o'clock when William Young took
the place of William Hoover and work was
| resumed At seven minutes of seven the
body was located by boat hook in the hands
of Mr.. Young and was drawn to the surface.
| H. Wilson grasped the lifeless form and
drew it into the boat.
Mr.. HeintZ who had conducted his part of
the work with seeming GOODNESS and deiber-
alton, upon seeing the lifeIess form of the
once bright boy whom he had watched over
for many years, broke down completely.
The remains were taken in charge by
undertaken Stein and removed to his place OF
business on Centre street. Coroner Strong
was notified and after examining several wit
nesses decided that the boy came to his death
by accidental drowning and an inquest was
unnecessary.
The remains were brought to this
place Sunday night and the funeral,
largely attended, took place Tuesday
afternoon.
Charlie was a bright lad of about lG
years. He was born and reared here,
but had been living with his uncle,
John l.. Heintz, in Cumberland, for
some time. His untimely death is a
distressing blow to his widowed
mother, who, with an older son,
George, survives.

down TO the last figure at the bottom.
On the contrary, the Council should
be willing To pay more and not less
than private individuals, for the
reasons that the outside maintenance
and waste are far coStlier and greater
than inside. and the benefit and cost
of the street service is more widely
diifused. Hence. the straining of
Council to get competitors down to
non profitable figures may sometimes
result in that sort of deadly economy
which wipes bidder out of existence.
These suggestions are writer without
the company's knowledge or consent;
they are the views of the great paper,

History never told of nation which
had too much money. IL tells Of plenty
which had too little. Here we have a
country the equal OF which was never
seen, and which needs more than any
other cosntry. 1t spreads over more terri.
tory than rests under any other civilized
flag. II does more business per capita
than any other peopled part Of the earth.
II has more natural wealth than any
other part OF the globe. 1t has thousands
Of mines Of gold, silver. iron and copper,
deposits Of clay, Of marbles, Of cement
rock, OF all the forms OF wealth that
mother earth has stored away, which srU
lying idle and undeveloped, only be-
cause the nation has not the money with
which to develop them. They should be
productive, giving employment and
wages to idle men. and yielding their
values TO add to the comfort, happiness
and wealth OF the world. 1t has millions
OF acres OF untouched and rich soil, from
the wheat fields Of snowy Dakota TO the
orange and fig lands Of the sunny South,
which should be producing TO feed the
hungry world. Few OF these natural re-
sources are utilized because there is not
money enough in the country 70 srare for
such industries. Every day some level
headed business man sees these sources
Of wealth lying Idle, and he gathers them
up and goes east TO enlist capital in their
development. He goes to the rich men
Of New York and Boston and lays his

A bill for the admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico as states passed the house
Of representatives on Monday by large
vote and II may be assumed, we think,
that the senate will not throw any OBJ
stacles In the way of the ambition Of
these territories. Thus the territories OF
the United States are throwing off the
shackles Of their pupilage, and in short
time the only ones that will be left will
be Utah and Alaska, Indian Territory
and Oklahoma.
Arizona was believed for q long time
to produce nothing but silver, cactus,
horned toads and Gla monsters, but
nowadays we know better. We know
that with proper facilities for irrigation
Arizona will become one OF the great
agricultural and horticultural sections OF
the Pacific coast. and We know, too, that
admission into the union ss a state will
give her an impetus which nothing else
could; and the same may be said Of New
Mexico. 1t is really singular how the
transition from n territory to a state
seems to arouse the latent energy and
exertion in their own behalf--San Fran.
