Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1892-07-09


Hyde" in Meats Opera House next
Tuesday evening. He is perfectly at
home on the platform on any subject
and his rendition of this remarkable
fantasy is to the last degree thrilling.
See advertisement.
The Epworth League have an
nouuced that a Worlds Fair will be
held under its auspices III the fall be-
ginning Wednesday, October II, and
closing Saturday, 18th. The opening
day is the historical anniversary of
the discovery, 400 years ago, Of the
continent of Amer ca by Christopher
Columbus.
1t is more than probable John Cham
bers, of this place, will obtain the
governors appointment of one of the
three School Commissioners for this
county.

Two opinions preyail-one that the
JOURNAL was away off on the terra
Gotta sale; another that, counting in
costs of transportation, hauling, lay
ing and taking up, the great paper
was not far out of the way.
The JOURNAL believes that it struck
close to the mark.
But that is an insignificant consid-
Grafton compared with the admission
of the fireclay water, if really I'M
wholesome, into the town mains.
The JOURNAL has heard, however,
that the water thus designated flows
from a spring which existed and was
used before a tireclay mine was ever
opened on the Great Savage. More
over, that the Arnold family have
preferred and used it to the water of {.
nearer spring.
1t is n spring of considerable volume
and uniform how-a fact which indi-
Gates rise from the mineral st1uta-the
same source tapped by the artesians Of
the old works.
All this being true, the incident of
which complaint has been made shows
that its flow can be utilized or not
as the water authorities elect.
When, therefore. in the event of
drouth, it is needed, take out that
wooden cork when not needed, put it
back.
In other words, when we have guam
tity, let us preserve the waters quality !;
when we lack quantity, then and then
only, compel us to sacrifice quality.

Mondays bout OF the Frostburg club
with McKeesport, Pa, caused great
sorrow in the grand stand and on the
bleaching board, the latter winning
by score of 1t to |. The home team
displayed too much confidence in the
start, and then, getting ratified, fought
with little or no spirit to the end.
There We've some reasons eXcusing this
mention here.
Tuesday the home team made easy
prey of the Winchester (Va.) club,
defeating the latter by score of 16 to
). Had the latter played the same
ball the day before, McKeesport would
not have carried away so much glory.
But one serious error was placed to
Frostburg's discredit.
Notes.-How the whlrligig whirls
Frostburg defeated Cumberland !;
Mckeesport defeated Frostburg Cum
berland defeated McKeesport. He
laughs most superlatively who laughs
most recently
However, there is a report circulat-
ing that Cumberland has acquired a
trained battery, which accounts for the
revolution of baseball fortune down
there.
Hence, if Frostburg wants to keep
abreast of the times ga hint to the
wise is sufficient" A battery equal
to Cumberland will do the business,
for the metropolis can furnish better
field hands than the z. C. can. This
is no disparagement of the home bat
tery-Jack and Price, who easily rank
among the few foremost in the county.
A later explanation comes in this
shape-that "Mckeesport sold OUT
regrettable act, if true. This story,
told to lady partisan of the Frost
burg club, brought this response
''Frostburg will never sell out :" 1t
is to be hoped she is right, for nothing
will so seriously hurt club, the game
and the park as a reputation for "sell-
ing out" People will not patronize
anything of the kind whose integrity
is titus tainted with suspicion.
The JOURNAL is glad to learn that
the Bowery will be henceforth known
as the Frostburg club. A new uni
form has been ordered and the maker
is instructed to put the name of the
metropolis thereon in letters which
imply championship wherever there
are wayfaring men who read while
they run. In very slow places like
Cumberland and Homecoming, the
name of "Bowery" suficed.
Guying should be stopped. 1t de-
tracts very much from tha puiOvmeut
