1t is matter of grave fear that
Maj. E. K. Bruce, the extensive
sheep breeder and raiser of Mirgo
Flats, has come to an untimely end
and by foul means. He came to
Elkins on the night of February 10,
and registered at the Hotel Ran

for Cumberland He intended to
go to Baltimore on business, and
possibly return in week. He has
not since been heard from. On

search of him, but we learn that

One of the most important acts
done by the County Commissioners
at their session this week and one
that interests every citizen of the
county, was to make preparations
for the safe keeping of the public
records. This step has been in con-
temptation for some time but no
final action was taken until Mon
day when the contract was let to tho

The closing exercises of the Oak
land public school took place on
Friday afternoon and were very in
teresting. The music under the
management of Misses Weber and
Porter and comprising large num-
ber of pupils was exceedingly fine
and reflects credit upon the vocal
talent of our town. The addresses
by Revs. William l.. Leisher and
Father Mattingly and Mr.. Scott Il.
Jones were both instructive and hu-
morous. The dialogues we're witty
and well rendered and also many
other interesting recitations- and !.
other literary features. The crown
ing event of the afternoon was the
sorg with guitar accompaniment by
little Miss Bessie Hinebaugh. She
was applauded and encored until
she had to return and give another
song. We extend thanks and con-
gratulations to Prof. Browning and
his corps of able assistants.

Police SeryPnnts Transferred

A surprise caused i'll police circles Satur-
day afternoon when i. was learned that an
order had been Issued from headquarters max
ing number of transfers of sergeants. 1t was
generally conceded that the transfers were
made because of the recent trouble in the
eighth precinct between Lieut.. Gessford and
some of the officers under him. and the best
evidence of that fact is that the three sergeants
in the eighth precinct were mentioned in the
order.
During the investigation of the charges
against Lieut.. Gessford 1t was stated that the
three sergeants-Daly. Lombardv and Dunni-
gan-had been seen with heir heads together
and the lieutenant thought they were con-
spring against him. Whatever the facts were,
the officers have been completely demoralized
since the investigation started. some OF the
men say. and the transfer followed. Eight ser
Seants IN all were mentioned in the order
Serg;- Lombardy was sent to he sixth precinct.

NOT DENOMINATIONAL,
A Mass Meeting Under the Auspices Of the
Brotherhood Of Andrew and Philip.

mass meeting will be held tomorrow even
ing in the First Congregational Church under
the auspices Of the three chapters in this city
of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip. This
is an undenomiuational organization. intended
for the mutual uplifting of young men. There
are chapters in the Western Presbyterian
Church. in the First Presbyterian Church and
in the First Congregational Church. The or
ganization is new here and only at present has
membership of about sixty; but in other
cities. where it has been in existence longer. i.
has met with much success. At the meeting
Tuesday evening the benefits of the organiza-
ton will be described by the founder of the
organization. Rev. Mr. Miller. There will be
other interesting speakers. The organization
was started in Reading. Pa. about two years
ago. by Mr. Miller. who ia now at the head of
the Federal Council Conventions are held
every year in some city selected by the several
chapters. The form of government of the
ganization is In itself comparatively new. con-
sisting of an executive council and Federal
Council. Each denomination has its own execu-
tive council, composed of thirteen members,
elected at the bi-annual conventions. &c.
Each of these executive councils is directly
responsible to the Federal Council. composed
of three Delegates elected from each denomina-
ton at the alternate conventions.

1t is probable that the naval reserve militia
will be given an opportunity for practical serv-
ice on the warships as the North At
lantic squadron is organized. The Secretary
proposes assigning men to each ship on the
home station for n weeks cruise or perhaps
longer. where they can have an insight into
life on board ship as il would be in war time
when their services would be called for, and at
the same time gain practical knowledge of
their duties in working ship under all condi-
tlonS. There will be celebration at Savannah
during the summer. when several of the North
Atlantic feet will be ordered to take part in
the ceremonies. and upon this occasion it is
probable the naval reserve of New York and
Massachusetts will be taken on the cruise and
put through a course such q the blue jackets
encounter every day.

A YOUNG GERMAN CONVICT.
Mr. Cleveland Partioned Him and Gained a
Large Following.


An interesting story is connected with one Of
the Presidents visitors in the early part of the
week, Mr.. A. C. Hesing of Chicago. Mr..
Hesing is the editor of the Stats Zeitunq and
although the paper is avowedly republican in
politics it has supported the candidacy of Mr.
Cleveland through thick and thin for three
successive campaigns. Mr.. Hesing thinks that
Mr.. Cleveland is one of the greatest men of
the age and the President has a warm regard
for Mr.. Hesing.
Once upon II time young German was con-
victed of crime in New York and sentenced to
twenty-six years Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. Mr.. Hesing, who is a philanthropist in
his way, became interested in the case on ac-
count OF extenuating circumstances connected
with the crime and he appealed to Gov Tiden
then governor of New York. for pardon. He
promised to procure the young fellow situa-
ton and to hold himself personally responsible
for his behavior. No attention was paid to the
request and the letter was pigeonholed.
When Mr.. Cleveland became governor of the
state several years later he found this letter
and became interested in the case He wrote
to Mr.. Hesing asking him if he still of the
same mind about the young fellow, and would
take care of him if released. Upon Mr.. Hes
ing IS reiteration of the promise, Mr.. Cleveland
pardoncd the man.
AAo ioi iner coh'ict Is touav prominent ana
successful business man in Chicago, and has
iulhlled Mr.. Hesing's guarantee that he would
be good citizen. When Mr.. Hesing visited the
President the other day Mr.. Cleveland asked
about his protege, and was delighted to hear of
his success.
All of which goes to show that the kindly act
OF Gov. Cleveland, performed with a motive of
philanthropy, has borne practical fruit many
years later for President Cleveland in the wav
OF bringing him large and enthusiastic fol
lowing in an element which otherwise would
have opposed him.
