The Council Com mIttee WIN Soon Take
the SInlter Up.
Chairman Dobbins, OF the city coun-
Gil committee on ordinances, says that
the committee will meet in short time
to take up one or two resolutions Of
council regarding proposed ordinances
including one to provide for the safety
Of wheelmen and pedestrians. Tho
proposition is that all cycles BIO pro-
vided with bells aud perhaps with Ian
terms. Many accidents that have lately
occurred in which cyclers have figured
havo stirred uD tho interest in the pro-
poscd legislation. The cyclers them
selves will hardly oppose tho PROPOSE
ton for bells, as they arc required in
every city where bicycles arc generally
used, but it is probable they will object
to encumberIng their lightweight
wheels with lanterns Chairman Dob
bins asks that wheelmen and others in
terested present themselves at tho meet
ing of tho committee, the date OF which
has not yet been set.
Cyclers have suggested that whistles
be provided for, Optional with bells, 80

THE COWBELL'S SONG.

The cowblls only, did you say An yit their
cadence rings,
A sweet air to these ole ears than any Patti
sings
They stir the music of the Gone, when life wus
shinin fair,
With love divine and smiles fer shine, an
hopes glow everywhere.
An ef all yuther M isic ceased to float earth S
wales among,
think yit find pleasure in the quaint ele
cowbelps song.
While listenin' to its melody, the dear ole
home appears,
An bits of lonely scenery rise 'bove the haze
of years
The milon patch, the shaded stream, the or
child spreadin' nigh
An further on the bird-loved hills a-kissin Of
the sky;
An sunny days an pleasant ways crowdin'
swift along,
Awaken'd and made sleeplesS by the quaint
ole cowbell's song.
1t brings my boyhood's friends az in-the love-
life which ] knew
The faith in things of earth which made the
sky forever blue;
An wee ones play about my knees as in my
manhood's prime,
Before they knew that 'yond our home there
spreads another cline.
But home, the hills, the love, the forms
though yividly they throng,
I'll know them never more save in-the quaint
ole cowbell's sodg. VIII T. Hale.

Mr.. Charles o. Scuii, the Able General
Passenger Agent of the u. e o.

The Baltimore and Ohio has been fortu-
nate in the selection Of the gentlemen TO
preside over the passenger branch of its
service. Mr.. Charles o. Scull, general pas
senger agent, and Mr.. James NJ. Schryyer,
assistant general passenger agent, are recog-
uized as among the most competent passen-
ger men in the country.
Mr.. Scull was born November q. 1851,
at Somerset, Pa, and entered the railway
service January 10, 1870 as clerk in the
general ticket Office of the Pittsburg, Cin-
cinnati and St. Louis. He remained with
that company until March l., 1877, rising
steadily until February l, 1882, when he
was promoted TO chief assistant general
passenger agent Of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg. He severed his connec-
ton with that company March l, 1887, to
accept similar position with the Baltimore
and Ohio. Upon the resignation of Mr.. Z.
X. Lord to become third vice.president of
the system in April, 1888, Mr.. Scull was APP
pointed general passenger agent.
Under Mr.. Scull's energetic direction the
passenger earnings have been growing year
ly. As an evidence of this fact 1t may be
stated that revenue from passenger traffic
was 81, ,262 900 in 1888, while for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1892, it rose to S6,6lS,-
600, being a gain of over 55 per cent. in the
last five years. 1t will be noted that the
last fiscal year ended June 80, and that the
heavy business to the Worlds Fair is not
included in the figures, but will so TO swell
the gross receipts for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1894. No road in America has
had greater experience than the b. < o. in
handling large volumes of passenger busi-
ness. and none is able to do ii better, which
is wholly due to the efforts of the passenger
department.
Mr.. Scull has an able assistant in the per-
son of Mr.. Schryver. Mr.. Schryver has al
most grown up in the railway service. de
was born near Circleville, o., December ~,
1s4s. and entered the employ OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in October, 1870,
as voucher clerk. Step by step he has risen
until now he occupies his present position,
to which he was appointed August !, 1882

When ex-Goyernor Wilson spoke IN

no applause more hearty than that which
he evoked by his reference to the successful
work Of the Democratic party in securing
for the people Of the South the rights oil

ing the reconstruction" period. An i'm
martial observer might have inferred that
the applause was not only for the party, but

Rev. A. A. p. Neel, county superintend-
ent Of free schools, says that at the first
examination Of teachers in this county, held
recently at Charles Town. 4S teachers were
examined. Six Of these did not pass. Of
the p remaining, 20 passed NO. certif-
Gates, six TO No. 3, and seven to No. B.
During the past year there had been ex-
pended $37 ,63l 46 on the schools Of this
county. OF this sum the several districts
levied s2s, ,344O7; s6,ll5.69 came from the
State distributable fund; and s3,lSl.7O Is
collected from the railroads in the county.
It is proper. however, to allow something
on district Ieyies for delinquent taxes. Six
ty.eight teachers were employed. The
lowest salary paid any one was SO per
month on No. certificate. The highest
salaries were paid in Charles Town and
Shepherdstown districts, $40 per month tor
No. certifcstes.- &epherdst0cn Register.
