The AurOral Display.

The most remarkable exhibition of
the northern lights eyer noticed in
Frostburg was visible about | o'clock
Saturday evening, 10th inst. Beside
the usual ''streamers' quick, sudden
ebullitions of white light flushed up
horizontally from the horizon toa con
siderable height-a very unusual fea-
ture.
The occurrence gave rise to the old
question concerning the origin of these
displays.
The latest discoveries assign to them
close electro magnetic relation with
solar disturbances, and the fact that
last Saturday nights exhibition, pred
icated upon Il very recent storm on
the sun, was predicted and looked for
by astronomers, gives color to this So
luton of the phenomenon.

Found Dead.

Arthur Shriyer, printer and ex-
journalist of Cumberland, was found
dead in his bed Monday evening. His
family had been away several weeks,
he sleeping at home but taking his
meals at hotel.
Friday afternoon of last week he
complained of feeling unwell and left
his office. During the evening neigh
bors Saw and talked with him. Satur-
day he did not appear at the office !;
Sunday he was not missed, but Mon
day forenoon he did not again 90 to
the office. During the afternoon two
employees, now thoroughly alarmed,
went to his house, forced their way in
and found him dead, as stated. A
post mortem examination and inquest
resulted in a verdict of ''death from
natural causes" 1t is probable he
died during Friday night at least TO
hours before found. He was for many
years city editor of the Cumberland
Meas, but for six or seven years has
been the head of the successful firm of

Appointment.

The JOURNAL did not learn the fact
in time to publish it last week. 1t is
this: John Chambers, Of this place,
was appointed by Gov. Brown dl-
rector OF the House of Correction.
What the honors and emoluments
amount to nobody seems to know, but
the JOURNAL is glad that one of the
many positions hitherto mouopolizcd
by Baltimore and the Eastern Shore.
has come this way. But it can't be
understood. Which reminds the JOUR
NAL of an old story with two points i'll
it AND only one moral attached. A
local B. & O. train on the Washington
branch stopped and the brakeman
shouted in the rear car:

citedly asked

Too Large.

There is an opinion eXtant that the
limestone placed on the National road
east of town is broken in pieces entire
ly too large for road purposes. The
JOURNAL has drawings and measure
ments Of three samples of the largest
picked from the late layer:
First-3 by by 5 inches.
!Stcond-1 by s by inches.
Thirds by 8 by inches.
When it is remembered that each
stone should not exceed in length,
breadth and thickness - inches, it will
be seen that the dimensions above
given are better for distractions to
travel than for good roadmaking.

Thomas Malloy, supervisor of trains
on the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
railroad, completed last month forty
years of active, continuous and faith
full service of that company. In com
memoration of the anniversary the
Directors last week adopted compli-

convey them to him accompanied by a

Lost and Found.

The firebel Wednesday evening
about dusk quickly brought IL big
crowd to Water street. The word
went around that "a woman was lost ~
Mrs. Lewis Wood, an aunt of l.. w.
Wood, the tea store agent. This lady
left home that morning with IA bucket
to 90 berrying, but did not return.
Hence the alarm. 1t was stated that
Mrs. Clayton Purnell had met her on
the Spruce bridge. Then Frank
Spates, William Wenk, l.. J. Parker,
Alfred Jcffrles, NJ. w. Keller and Mr..
Wood, the husband Of the lost lady,
mounted Il conveyance and started
down the pike. At the emile house
they learned she had passed there and
gone out the Cresaptown road. The
people were all asleep by this time but
the party walked all, house after house,
and nearly everywhere they heard of
the lost lady. After taking wrong
roads, getting off her track and re-
tracing their routes several times,
they found her about / o'clock Thurs
day morning at the house of Samuel
Miller, not far from Rawlings station,
IA or 10 miles from Frostburg, She
was brought home at once, and no
party of six men ever went to bed
more worn out than the rescuers:

Rumor has it that the Water Com
mittee of Council replaced the plug
which, it is claimed, excluded the hard
water. This is proper thing to do,
if hard, when water is plenty, but
when low it should remain out.
But in either event the committee
should do nothing for spite.
The JOURNAL recently asked DR..
C. c.. Jacobs, of the Board of Health,
to investigate the water of the several
springs feeding the mains, and yester-
day he transmitted the paper below
l haye made partial analysis of the SAM
pies of water so kindly furnished by my col
labOrator, DR.. }. J. Jones, and the following
is brief outline of my examination. The
three samples were taken from

ish the treclay contamina-

give the degree of hardness,
which eliminates, in this
case, an excess of lime, mag
nesian salts, iron and free

only to the extent off Clark's
scale). NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 3.5 degrees.

1t may be said that the above calculation is
the fixed and removable hardness. The diff
ference have not now time to make out, but
it is very important. / hops to have time to
make this and other analyses clear within
the coming week. c. G. JACOBS,
Secretary Board of Health.
From the above it is evident that all
the water is very soft, and that no in
gredient of its composition exists in
the slightest degree unwholesome.
