Electric Road for Westminster.

"You are going TO have an electric road to
Westminster, said Gov. Brown to one of the
editors of the ADVOCATE this week. A road
is now being built to Emory Grove, and it
will be extended TO Westminster if the citi
zens of that place manifest some interest in
the matter. 1t will not require much money
to get the road. and il can be built quickly il
the people OF Westminster desire it.
The Governor, in talking further on the
subject, said he believed the fare could be
made one dollar for the round trip, and that
there would be provision made for carrying
packages and bundles Cars would start
every hour, and the time between Baltimore
and Westminster would not be mnch over an
hour.
If the citizens of Westminster want an cleo
trio road, here is their opportunity. The
Governor is in earnest, and if some interest
is manifested by the citizens the road will be
extended to this place shortly.
An electric road would be great lever in
the growth and prosperity of Westminster.
Nothing so benefits town as rapid transit,
frequent trains and low fare, and Gov. Brown
saws this road would furnish all these. With
an electric road to Baltimore, and hourly
cars, Westminster would be crowded with
Baltimoreans every summer. Many would
build here, and the most of them would re-
main here from May to November. There
is no more delightful place in summer than
Westminster, and the only reason it is not
now more sought by Baltimoreans, is the in
convenience and expense of travel. An cleo
trio road would remove these obstacles and
we could have hundreds of summer boarders
here every year. The boarders, too, would
make large increase in every branch of bus
mess; real estate would enhance in value, and
all in all we do not know any enterprise that
wonld be so beneficial to the place.

Earthquake in Japan.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 4.-The
steamship Empress of China arrived this
morning from Yokohama. A severe
earthquake occurred in Toxic and Yoko-
hama on the Goth ult., causing destruction
of life and property The ground cracked
and sunk in Sc places, the cracks being Z
and 8 inches wide, and from 3 to 4 feet
deep. One hundred and seventy-six
chimneys were thrown down, 80 houses
demolished, and over 5000 partially
damaged. Twenty persons were killed
ahd PIT wounded. Fortunately, the catas-
trophe occurred during the day, or fire
would have added to its horrors, as is usu-
ally the case when severe earthquakes take
place at night. The greatest damage was
in the suburban section of Tokia In ad-
dition to the above damage sos stone
lanterns and tombs have fallen.
A disastrous fire occurred at Yokohama
on the 18th ultimo; 1904 houses were de-
stroyed, and some so more were damaged
by fire and water One man was killed
and three injured, one seriously.

Farewell Services.

From the Daily Reflector, Abilene, Kansas. of July p
The Lutheran church and congregation
said good bye yesterday to Rev. W. l.. Sea
brook, its pastor for the past four and half
years. In the morning was communion and
Mr. Seabrook preached an able sermon
suitable to the occasion.
In the evening special farewell services
were held. The church was crowded and an
interesting program was carried out.
The address of DR.. Blayney and Rev. De-
chant were notable for their felicitous ex-
pressions of sincere regret in the departure
of their colaborer. and their sentiments were
echoed by all. The music was especially fine
and all taking part reflected credit on them
selves and the event. The words of the last
solo were written for the occasion. The
service throughout was appropriate and in-
teresting and deserving tribute to loved
pastor. I.. .GrH
At the close the treasurer OF the church, j.
K. Brewer, made a financial statement show
ing that the church is out of debt and in bet
ter condition financially than at any time in
many years. ..l..fe
Tomorrow Rev Seabrook and family leave
for Maryland, where they will visit friends
and enjoy rest before taking up church work
again. Their departure will be noted with
unassumed sorrow, and best wishes will be
extended not only by the Lutheran church
and congregation but by hosts of friends be-
sides. Mr.. Seabrook by his frank, sincere,
manly ways, his briIliancy preacher, his
earnesiness as pastor, his progressiveness
as citizen has won many admirers. Abilene
has not had his superior as church worker
and a friend of all classes and he will be
greatly missed. The Reflector joins with
every acquaintance of Mr.. Seabrook and his
estimable family in wishing them joy, pros
perity and good cheer wherever they may be
located. altyl
The future holds high honors for the de
parting pastor and We shall rejoice to learn
that they have come TO him-for they will be
deserved

respected citizen ofthis community, died sud
denly on Sunday evening, the LIST instant, of
heart failure. Mr.. Bennett had been affected
for some time with serious bronchial trouble
but no symptoms of heart trouble had shown

them causing them to drop portion of their
plumber which was recovered next morning.
Mr.. VIM. A. Wilson, one Of Mr.. McDonald's
clerks, occupied suite of rooms above the
store, but Morpheus had him so closely folded
in his embrace that he heard nothing until the
burglars were making their exit Billy says
he was not at all frightened but there ARE
several streaks of a silyery hue in his raven
locks that were not noticeable previous to
last Sunday eve.
The glorious 4th was never celebrated here
in more patriotic manner than upon this
occasion. Every man, woman and child and
even some of the dogs took part. A picnic
was held on Hotel Heights, under the aus
pieces Of the members OF the Sykesville Cor
net Band, which proved to be a most enter
tanning and enjoyable affair. AT night the

beautiful and upon an extensive scale.
The number of city residents spending the
summer here is much greater than usual and
indications point to ali usually gay season.

the points in the section under his charge
where the stream of molasses was narrow

pection. The order to march was given,
and the ants all made their way to a hole
in the wall at which the clustering was
loose. Here they broke ranks and set
about carrying pieces of plaster to the
place in the molasses which had been agreed
upon as the narrowest To and fro they
went from the nail hole to the molasses,
