Coming Events.

The Moss .olltics will take sum.
MGR Boarders and make "a Quick
Match" at Ravenscraft's Opera House
Monday, May $.
The Welsh Baptist church cdifice
has been undergoing repairs for some
weeks past, which will cost quite a
sum OF money. The L. u /. Musical
Society. OF Frostburg, assisted by the
Mountain String Quartet and the Frost
burg Mandolin and Guitar Club, has
very kindly volunteered to give a
musical entertainment in Meats Opera
House May 10, 1898, to aid the church
in bearing its heavy burden. This is
good and in measure fulfilling the
apostolic command-"Bear We one
another's burdens, and so fulfil the
law of Christ. Gal. vi, >.

Frostburg is brushing up on base
ball in great shape. Manager Dillon
has enrolled a strong team of local
players and will soon be ready as
usual to bump against Pittsburg,
thrash Cumberland and lay out Iona
coming.
Since the foregoing paragraph was
placed in type the following interest
ing pointers have been handed in by a
friend of the Club:
The ensuing season has all indications of
being the most prosperous in the history of
this most popular outdoor sport. Frostburg
will present good, strong team Of home
players, and if last seasons games form any
criterion to 20 by, the home team will GER
tainly hold its own. The management is
chuckfull of confidence and says the team
will be the strongest that has represented
Frostburg for number of years. With the
new players the weak places in last season.
team will be much stronger.
If the weather had acted at all decently the
grounds would have been IN proper condition
by this time and the boys would be getting
the stiffness out Of their joints in much
needed practice.
Negotiation are pending with the Silver
Kings, of Pittsburg, for two games here on
Decoration Day, and McKeesport has been
signed to play two games here on the fourth
of July.
Later news is--the Silver Kings
cannot come ON the day named.

\ Ball and a Trip.

The Fire Department has decided to
attend the Reunion and Convention of
Firemen in Frederick city, June 7 and
s, and committee appointed to make
necessary arrangements for trans
portation, music, board, etc.
We understand that they are ne
notiating for a special train to run
through from Frostburg to Frederick,
leaving here Tuesday, June 6. This
will add much to the comfort and con-
venience of the trip, which is expected
to be both pleasant and profitable.
Before their departure they will give
grand promenade concert and ball
in Meats Opera House Tuesday even
ing, May %, where and when they will
use their best endeavors to make the
affair a pleasant social event. They
hope their friends and fellow-c citizens
of Frostburg will see that it will no
be a financial failure.

John Flanagan, Of Pompey Smash,
was here the other day feeling pretty
good over Pompey's record as an anti
spinal fever town. He says not a case
has been there, and, strange to say,
the water used is good. He thinks
that with the disease as close as Frost
burg, and the intimate communication
between the two places, Pompey would
have got touch of it but for the saw
ing grace that is stored up in her
mountain sandstone spring water.

\ New objection,

To the MINING Journal.
enclose copy of Water and Gas R,oitr for
April, 1893, published by Water and Gas
Re,?em Publishing Company, - Warren St,
New York, with the request that you publish
the article on page | headed "A New and
Serious Danger"
This, to my mind, quite confirms the
wisdom of EX-Mayor Wilson in not signing
the agreement giving the right of way to the
Electric Road within the corporate limits,
thereby leaving the matter to be dealt with
more leisurely by the incoming Council.
CITIZEN.
The article is below:
The attention of water departments and gas
companies is called to the two very import
ant and interesting articles published in am
other portion of this paper, referring to the
electrolysis of water and gas pipes as the re-
suit of the trolley system of electric street
cars. Mr.. Morse, of Cambridge, Mass, states
in his paper that in some cases brought
under his observation, lead pipe had entire
ly disappeared by the action of the
electric current, with a like result in the
case Of iron, galvanized iron, brass and
rustless pipes. Mr.. John X. Pearson, of In
danapolis, confirms this statement to some
extent, as shown by his experience in that
city, with the additional result that the elcc
trio spark set fire to escaping gas, the flame
of which "leaped into the air 10 feet with
somewhat disastrous consequences.
| the current leaves the pipe and not where 1t
enters it. 1t was intmated that il water pipes
| could be insulated no eectrolytic action would
take place. This apparently vital question
makes the protection of water pipes and gas
| pipes matter of the greatest Importance,
| particularly as franchises to corporations for
the use of electricity are Frequently granted
without consulting competent electric en-
gineers for the purpose of having an inSpc"-
ton made of all plans for the construction
of electric railways. This oversight of neg,
| hgence is apt to prove enormously expensive,
| and its correction would be of bcneiit-at
| least III the future-n not only to public inter
ests but to those of electric engineering ms
well. If this condition of affair is brought
about by the introduction of the trolley sys-
TEN and no reasonable remedy can be found,
it should be one of the most fatal objections
to its further continuance or extension. In
cities and towns where the system of motors
referred to has been introduced an early ex-
animation of the distributing and supply ser
vice of both the water and gas companies is
advisable in order to prevent consequences
which may prove both serious and costly.

IRISH HOME RULE.

The Parneilitss Declare the Present
Bill Unacceptable.
DUBLIN, Aug. GA convention Of the
Parnellite section OF the Irish Parlia.
mentary party was held in this city to-
day. Resolutions were adopted declar.
ing that the refusal of the government
to amend the injustice of the financial
proposals of the home rule bill was de-
grading, and that the restrictions placing
the Irish legislature under the imperial
parliament, without power to control
taxation or develop national interests,
coupled with the reduction of the num-
ber OF Irish representatives in the inn
perial parliament, render the bill impoe-
sible of acceptance by the Irish people.
b LONDON, Aug. 9.-In the house oi
commons today, William Mccartney
(Conservative) moved the adoption oi
an amendment to the home rule bill
providingin effect that the Irish mem.
bers who shall be retained in the impe.
rial parliament shall vote on no bill,
motion or amendment, except motions
that may be- made amendatory to the
home rule bill. After debate the motion
ives defeated by q vote Of 221 to 1S1.

ENCOURAGING FIGURES.

Recorder Bray Makes Some Comparisons
Between This Year and Last.
County Recorder Bray has issued q
comparative statement of the business
transacted in the Office of the county
recorder during the first six months of
the year 1929.
During the first half Of the present
year the number of deeds recorded was
8123, an increase of 1917 over the same

nous sum of $9,937 ,S74.96, an increase
OF 81 1866. 369.26 over a similar period of
the year 1892.

SANTA MONICA ROBBERS.

Tho Leader of the Gang In the County
Jail.
Sheriff Cline has been quietly but
vigorously at work to get the gang of
highway robbers who have been holding
up people on the streets of Santa Mon
lea lately. The sheriff already has the
leader OF the gang behind the bars in
the county Jail. His identity is with
held, however. until the sheriff sue
ceeds in getting hold of the others, which
he expects to be able to do possibly
within the next "a hours. There are
three others whose names are known to
the sheriff, and he has his lines laid go
az to entrap them. When all the parties
are arrested the sheriff will probably be
able also to recover much of the stolen
property.
