Free Soup to the Poor.

The Carlin House Free Soup Distrib-
uting Association, formed during the
most severe weather of last week, for
the purpose of aiding the poor and
needy IN our community, has been
doing world of good, and the crowd
that gathers daily at the Market house,
when the strengthening soup and a
loaf OF bread is handed out to each
worthy individual will make one
think how little is really known of the
destitution which exists in our midst.
Whilst no one is literally starving, in
the true meaning of the word, yet
charitable societies and even the above
worthy institution fail to reach the
most deserving. Those who contrib
uted to the soup fund have been amply
repaid by the thought of the great
good accomplished aud the number
Of hungry mouths fed with nourish-
ment day by day. Frederick cannot
be surpassed lin the amount of chari-
table feeling contained within her por-
tails, and is ready at all times to help
those who are unfortunate or in any
way needful.

Pleasant Debate.

Quite an interesting debate occurred
in Odd Fellows Hall, in New Market,
last Friday on the subject of "Ambi-
btion" and Necessity" The spa
cious room was well filled with people
from all over the district, and the re-
suit of the friendly war of words was
the decision by the judges III favor of
the defenders of necessity" who were
from Monrovia. Those taking part in
the discussion We're: Messrs. Bruce Muir
dock, J. NJ. Wood, Roy SponseIler,
Noah Flickinger, J. c. Williams, Chas.
Skegs, NJ. G. Buxton and G. l.. Shee-
Ter. The ability of the debaters adduc-
ing strong arguments in support of
their ideas was most creditabe to the
society which brought the matter to
such pleasant termination. Debating
clubs are highly educating in charac-
ter, and should be formed in every Sec
tion Of the county. Every one should
take an interest and help the good
cause along.

everything else, then bought one

CRAVE CHARGES MADE.
BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE RE-
CENT CHANGE OF MONTE
VUE OFFICERS.
Mr.. Main Says He Bribed Several
County Commissioners to Secure
the Position of Superintendent
Three Hundred Dollars the
Amount Said to Have Been Paid
Grand Jury Investigation.

ln years past it has been the boast o f
the Democratic leaders in Frederick
County, that the affairs of the county
had Oeen conducted ON business like
and economical basis, and that there
were no jobs of any character by which
any one could be censured. The state.
ments of Mr.. Main, ex-superintendeut,
that three Of the Commissioners had
been bribed 10y gift of one hundred dol
lars each, to secure his appointment,
was surprise to most of our people.
RumOrs Of such dea! and indeed ALL
Kinds of rumOrs We're afi rat alb ,ut the
time the Board of Charities and Cor
rections decided upon removing MI.
Derr, who had been one of the best
SuperinteudentS ever in charge Of
Montevue. This unwise step was ury-
ed as blow to the Democratic lea 1ers
and the general management of the
party. How unwise and how uu-
profitable it was, subsequent events
have demonstrated. OF course, no one
blames Mr.. Maiu for irving to secure
the place; but the inmates had been 80
kindly cared for; the poor watched
over with such Jealous care, that out
side of few always ready to find fault.
our people, Republicans and Democrats
justly gave credit to Mr.. Derr, for his
excellent management of the illstitu-
ton. The Board of Charities and Cor
rections after having Mr.. Main under
their direction for one year, decided to
request MIR. Derr to return. At meet
ing recently held. Mr.. Derr, who has
been in the city ever since his retire
ment from his position at Montevue
was reappointed. AS to the charge of
MIR. Main of his having bribed the
commissioners, we cannot believe
such thing possible. The three
gentlemen spoken of stand well
in this community. Mr. Morrison is a
high-toned citizen of Emmitsburg
District; his entire life is well known to
her people aud his character has al
ways been beyond reproach. Mr..
House resides near Jefferson; his father
has been an honored citizen for years.
and his son is looked upon in the
same light. Mr.. Delauder has been a
poor hardwOrking man living in Cat
Octin District, and i'm his nomination
aud election the flatteriug vote receiv-
Ell, would indicate that no mistake had
been made in his selection. The gen.
tiemen accused are entitled TO present
their side of the question and judg-
ment should be suspended until then.
We are well aware of the utter falsity
of many stories in circulation, aud are
forced to believe that this is one of
the same kind; at any rate, the Grand
Jury must do its duty, aud thoroughly
investigate all charges, no matter who
may be affected by the investigation.
