Death In Scandal-Mongering.

A young lady at Frostburg, Ma
ryland, shot herself under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. A GER
tain commercial traveller had asper-
sed her good name. She hunted
him up and made him recant at the
point of a pistol. Afterwards in
her excitement the pistol exploded
and entered her own person, infict-
ing a fatal wound.
A local minister asserts that the
man who started the scandal was
guilty of the murder of the girl.
and he is right. There is murder
in the heart of the scandal monger
every time, and it is cowardly mur-
der. There is in fact, no greater
poltroon on earth than the man
who strikes a blow in the dark at
the reputation of young woman.
Often the incentive is a most con-
temptible species of vain glory,
often it is pure jealousy, but what
eyer 1T be, the crime is among the
most reprehenslble of all crimes,
and 1t is a great pity that 1t is not
more often detected and punished.

The Storm.

Thursday morning of last week
was the beginning of one of the
greatest blizzards ever known in
this section of the country. The
fury of the storm continued una
bated until Sunday morning when
the wind died away and the sun
came creeping out. The mercury
hovered between zero and thirteen
below during the three days storm
and when the breakup came many
of our people heaved a sigh of relief
and the coal dealer was correspond
ingly gloomy.
From Thursday until Monday no
mail was sent out by the star routes
from Oakland, the county roads
being barricaded with drifted snow
from four to twenty feet deep.
Many of the drifts extend for sew
eral hundred yards without break.
Fences are completely buried from
view and in many instances houses
are almost covered.
The train service was com pletely
demoralized from Thursday night
until Monday. The mail trains
and express trains both from the
east and west were from four to
ten hours late and the freight trains
hardly moved at all. On Friday
morning freight train which was
made up Of a mixed cargo, contain
ed several cars of hogs and was
delayed here for about two hours.
The sufferings of the stock were
terrible and five Of the hogs in one
car froze to death before the train
was allowed to proceed. When
Deer Park was reached it was found
that a large number had succumbed
to the cold.
During the three days but one
track Of the main line of the B. &
o. from Oakland to Altamont
could be kept Sopen. From Alta
mont to Mt. Lake Park one of the
tracks was covered with six feet of
4 snow. At Altamont a freight train
became stalled in a snow drift and
it required a half dozen engines to
extricate it. There was consldera,
BILE suffering among the railroad
men, but their sufferings were
alleViated to a great extent through
the kindness and charity of DR.. j.
Lee McComas and other gentlemen
of Oakland. who furnished hot
coffee and other substantials to them
while they waited for orders at the
station here. No doubt several
lives were saved by the forethought
OF these gentlemen, as some of the
men were exposed. to the bitter cold
and wind for as high as eighteen
hours without a morsel to eat. One
man, an engineer, Frazier by name,
hardly had enough strength left to
make his way to the station, and
after he had worked off the chill
declared that he could not have
stood the cold another hour.
The Accident mail was sent out
on Monday for the first time since
Thursday, and the carrier reported
every road in the county drifted
shut. He made his way through
the fields and woods.

fering except some sheep being

The New Nursery.

as announced elsewhere, Garrett
County is to have a new industry.
We say new advisedly, for while
there has been a small nursery
connected with the Mount Pomona
fruit farm at Swanton for several
years, averaging 5000 to 1000
trees, Shrubs, ETC., there were many
practical difficulties in the way of
any cons. derable increase, among
which was the difficulty of tilling
new and stony hill land.
There is a great demand for
hardy, home grown stock suited to
our peculiar climate. To supply
this want more fully about twenty
acres Of the rich and easily titled
s2sss. atboch lynn Heights.
have been secured, a greenhouse
erected and company forme with
ample capital to operate the same.
The new enterprise will be, to use a
horticultural Sjnile, "grafted upon
the old stock" under the same
general management, but, having
means, a favorable location and a
good directorshlp, we are justifiable
in the belief that the grated fruit
will be much larger and finer than
the original Seeding.
While the scope of the charter is
such that any business of a horti-
cultural nature could be carried on
; the company expect to make the
production and sale of nursery
stock their leading industry with
garden specialties second, the
greenhouse supporting both.
From this it will be seen that
there will be no need of such ex-
tensive glass structures as with our
friends, the Messrs. Weber, but
every facility for packing and ship
ping in the best of order large
quantities of nursery stock will be
secured as fast as needed. Not
less than $25, 900 to $50. 900 worth
is expected to be handled the com
! ing year.
An important feature of this
work and one we anticipate which
4--Fiif aeasi affect the rural beauty Of
our section for the better, is the
: prominence that will be given tc
landscape gardening and the cor.
rect arrangement of the plants,
trees, shrubbery, etc., sold by them.
To supply this amount of stock,
not only will the stock which is on
hand at Swanton be used but hat
which has been partially grown
elsewhere will be set as soon as
spring opens, which, completing
It's growth here, will be ready for
delivery by next fall and the follow
ing spring. Fifteen to twenty
thousand will be set each season
till ample stock is secured.
To dispose of the above will afford
lucrative employment to a score or
so OF our young men and none
could engage In more honorable
calling than supplying those in
need with fruit bearing trees, plants
and vines and beautfying trees and
shrubbery.
We are aware that the public
sometimes takes what is best for it
in this line very much as horse
does medicine - under protest -
however thankful it may be aftel-
ward. In this connection we can
not do better than relate the yely
emphatic assertion made bv Uncle
Jake Parsons, of Horse Shoe Bend
on Cheat, of Charley Mayer, who
by much persuasion and argument
induced the Cheat river settlers to
set themselves out good orchards
and incidentally to them got start
in life himself. He said. "Charley
Mayer ought to have lasting mon
ument erected to his memory for
the good fruit he forced us to
