The town public school, Gaithersburg
Lodge of Good TemPlars and Forest Oak
Temple, Juvenile Templars were on Friday
last homeless having been burned out the
previous night in an hour after the Good
Templars departed after holding their week
ly session. Rev. l.. L. Lloyd gave the
alarm. 1t is thought to have been due to
an overheated stove in the primary depart.
ment The building was Quilted in a few
minutes, and no effort was made to extin.
guish the flames, but the fire company con-
fined them to the school building Nothing
was saved, and the loss aggregates several
thousand dollars, with but $500 insurance.
After several more or less successful pri-
vate tests, the new system Of operating ca
nal boats by electrical power has been pub
licly demonstrated at Tonawanda, N. Y, to
be feasible and progressive. The system is
the invention of Richard Lamb, native of
Norfolk, Va, and the designer Of the Corliss
engine made world famous at the Centen-
NAL Exposition in Philadelphia. 1t is an
electric cable way, and was first used in
hauling logs out of North Carolina swamps.
The experimental posts, cables and brack
cts were put up along the line of the Erie
canal under the superintendent of Mr..
Lamb and Mr.. Frank Whale, the promoter
of the enterprise. The power used was
generated at the falls by the Niagara Falls
Power Company, and was conveyed to Ton
AMANDA by wire. Thus the waters of the
great lakes furnished both the medium and
the motive power for transhipment.
Registration Cases.-Judgc John A.
Lynch of the Circuit Court came here Mon
day from Frederick for the purpose OF hear
ing the cases of Frederick A. Ritter, Jr., and
VIM. II. Allen, of Washington Grove, both
of whom had appealed to the Court to have
their names placed upon the list of voters of
this county In the hearing of the cases it
was developed that the compainants were
residents of the county at Washington Grove,
where they occupy cottages during spring
summer and fall months, afterward spend
ing the winter in Washington. That pre-
vious to leaving the county for the winter
they had appeared before the Clerk of the
Circuit Court and made oath in due form
of law that their absence would be but TEN.
porary, and that they claimed permanent
residence in the county. This proceeding
being in accordance with the registration
law of the State, they made application to
the officer OF registration for Gaithersburg
district to be placed upon the lists as voters.
The application was refused by that officer
and an appeal was taken to the Court. After
hearing the evidence and argument in the
case, the Court ordered the officer of regis
tration to place the names on the list OF
voters. The decision in these cases involves
new phase in the registration law, as all
appeals heretofore made in this county have
been made by those who have been regis
tered and were afterward stricken off on the
ground that they had forfeited their right
to vote by being absent from the county.
This decision is regarded here as very i'm
portant and involving the rights of con
siderable number of persons who have
homes in the county, but leave the same for
some months in the year.
