The Nomination Saluted

Upon receipt Of the news of the nom
ination of Col. VIM. NJ. Singerly for
Governor by the Democratic Convention
at Harrisburg on Wednesday. a number
of the Coils friends assembled near the
pulp mill and fred salute of II guns
in honor Of his nomination. Col. Sin
gerly's nomination has naturally excited
some interest in Elktou. While the
town cannot lay claim to him as citi.
zen. yet his large business interests here,
as we'll as his frequent contributions to
local Enterprises, have identified him
with the town, and in Il measure estab.
lished for him quasj citizenship. The
following personal notice of him taken
from the Public Ledger of Thursday may
be of interest to his friends here.
William NJ Singerly was born in Phila-
delphia, December y, 1882. His father
was Joseph Singerly, one OF the origina.
tors of the street railway system Of that
citv, from whom his son has Inherited
his marked business ability. After gradu
atiug from the Philadelphia High School
in 1859, Mr.. SiDgerly spent ten years i'll a
produce commission house and acquired
a thorough commercial training. He
was afterwards engaged with his father
in the management OF his street car lines
and then went to Chicago, where he was
in business for himself as commission
merchant. Recalled to Philadelphia by
his father to assume tho management of
the Germantown Passenger Railway
Company, he proved a highly successful
manager, extended the system and event
ually disposed of it on highly advan.
tageous terms.
Mr.. Singerly is an enthusiastic Demo
crat and an advocate of Tariff reform.
In 1877 he purchased the Philadelphia
Record, and it has greatly prospered
under his management. He is a heavy
real estate owner in that city, having
erected over 1000 houses there.
In 1887, upon the retirement of Cover
nor Pattison from office, Mr.. Siugerly
took an active part in establishing the
Chestnut Street National Bank, of which
the Ex-Governor became the first Presi
dent. Upon Mr.. Pattison being called
for second time to the Goveruorship OF
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Siugerly succeeded
him as president of the bank, a position
he still holds. He is president of the
Chestnut Street Trust and Savings Fund
Company, and has large interests in Z
number of commercial, manufacturing
and other establishments.
In seeking for relaxation from thu
cares of business Mr.. Singerly has fol

The Strike Broken.

Reports from the Maryland coal fields
state that the strike is at an end, and
that Friday saw the last of the struggle
when the coal diggers of Homecoming
started for the mines in numbers and
asked that their old places be given
them. About Frostburg the men have
been at work for some days, the Lonacon
ing miners boing the last to return to
their posts of duty.
Agitator Wilson, who has led the
strikes through the dark days, but only
TIC defeat, acknowledged that the oper.
ators had won the struggle.
There was considerable excitement in
Baltimore during Wednesday when it
was learned that Governor Brown had
ordered out part of the Fourth Regi-
ment with its Calling qua. This he
did owing TO advices from F-osburg that
bloodshed was feared. Later, however
he received mora cheering Intelligence
from reliable source-Colonel Wilmer
and the order was rescinded.
Al Frostburg, where Compasy E., of
EiKton, is on duty, the men are now
crowdiug into the mines, some of them
trembling for fear of being blacklisted.
The last rock has been thrown at the
sentinels and the last shot has been fired
in return. At least, this is the feeling
today, considering the situation.
1t is expected that the strike will be
entirely ended by Saturday night. The
Governor will withdraw the troops the
very instant that the conditions warrant
hitn in doing SO after the First Regi-
ment has had its 10 days encampment
which ends on Monday.

Within the next three weeks Cleve.
| the mcst enormous conventions ever
| held on this continent, from July II to
Is, when the Young Peoples Society OF
Christian Endeayor will hold its Thr-
teenth International Convention.
Conservative estimates place the atten.
dance of delegates and their friends at
40, 600 souls, and arrangements have
been made to tlud entertainment for this

prepared promises to surpass all Of the
previous gigantic gatherings of this
society il point of Interest, embracing as
it does the names of men aud women of
reaown IN church and state, who will
deliver addresses of the greatest brill
fancy on Christian Endeavor work.
Already transportation companies are
being besieged by delegations from city,
state and provincial unions for special
trains to accom- immediate their respective
delegations who intend to make tho trip
in body.
The present Convention about to con.
vene in Cleveland is of mo re than pass
ing interest to citizens of our state, in
view of the vigorous and concerted act
ion that has been put forth on the part
of prominent Caristian Eadeayor work
ers in Maryland during the past year,
to have the Fifteenth International
Christian Endeavor Convention meet in
Baltimore in the Summer OF So. The
meeting place of each convention is
decided upon TWO years in advance, and
Maryland will send between 800 aud 500
delegates to this convention to press
upon the Trustees of the United Society
the claims of Baltimore as the conven--
tion city for year after next. Twenty
four states have SO far endorsed Balti-
more as the convention city for that year
through the efforts of the Preliminary
Committee of SO, of the Baltimore
Christian Endeavor Union, and this
committees efforts in this direction have
received the favorable endorsement of
Gov. Brown and the last Legislature the
Mayor aud City Council of Baltimore,
Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange,
Merchants and Manufacturers, Associ-
alton, Builders Exchange, Lumber
Exchange, etc., and all OF the denomin-
a5ioual conferences, synods, and minister
ial unions throughout the state.

Notwithstanding the pressure of all
these great interests upon him, Mr.
SDgerly has always taken an ardent
interest in politics, and no man is better
known in Democratic circles throughout
the State than he. He has never held
office, however, except the honorary
position of commissioner of Paramount
Park, in Philadelphia, as non salaried
office, which requires him to devote con
siderable time to the wants of that great

Mr.. John Wanamakcr Captures
Our British Cousins.

The great fastiyal-.for festival it has
haen, though it is called a cor ference-of
the Young Mems Christian Association,
came to a close yesterday with visit to
Windsor. TIE delegates had everything in
their favor-fne weather, excellent organi-
cation and intelligent guidance, and finally
Especial facilities for the view of one of
the finest Royal homesteads in the world.
They were taken to Windsor in four heavily
laden special trains. They were received
here by the Mayor, and they saw every
thing that it was possible to show them
within the time at their disposal.
The speeches of the foreign delegates were
particularly gratifying-if foreign" they
are to be called after Mr.. Wanamaker' s
declaration that in future he will never be
able to find that word in the dictionary.
This delegate from the United States has
throughout well maintained the oratorica
reputation of his country. He was highly
felictous yesterday in his references to the
Queen, and in his call for cheer of graft
tude that would be heard as far as Bal
moral. It will reach farther than that.
The delegates have been received with
honor and attention everywhere, and for
once our public authorities have shown a
due sense of great opportunity for the
promotion of international goodwill.-Edi
