closes with forecast concerning the archi-
lecture Of the immediate future that suggests
much greater departure from the old order
of things than has ever been broachel by any
one Of equal authority in such matters, and
gives reason for believing that the civilized
man of the future will be housed almost as
cheaply as the South Sea Islanders and as
superbly as Roman emperor 1t appears
certain the materials of the future will not
be those of the past. Stone, wood and brick
have had their day. Steel girders and con-
crete or terra Gotta are becoming more and
more common for buildings of all kinds and
IL seems likely that in the future they may
haye to give way to aluminium and paper.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN A. FLEAGLE.-Our
inability to give any attention to TIE CLAIR.
ION last week will explain our failure to do
more than mention under the regular obIt-
uary head the death of Mr.. John A. Feagle,
which occurred on Easter Sunday morning.
His illness was brief and gave an intimation
Of its malignancy from the beginning; he
died OF pneumonia. The deceased had been
a citizen of this place for many years, having
married daughter OF the late John Flohr,
who, with one daughter, Mrs. Charles Cram.
er, constitute the family that survives him.
Mr.. Fleagle had been an active man in his
younger days and accumulated considerable
property during the past several years, age
had broken his strength and he had lived
retired. He had been for many years q
member of the Methodist church. He was
buried In the United Brethren Cemetery on
Tuesday, Revs. Henry Mann and John H.
Barb officiating.
On Thursday the 18th inst, at 7 p. m, at
the Reformed parsonage, Frederick, Md, by
the Rev. E. R. Eschbach, Mr.. Frank M, son
OF Mr.. Charles Stevens of Creagerstown, and
Elsie NJ, eldest daughter Of Hartman L. Ga.
yer, of near Utica Mills were united in holy
bonds ofmatrlmony in the presence of several
relatives and friends. After the ceremony
they were driven to the residence Of the
brides parents, where they were received by
Miss Gennie Gaver, sister Of the bride, and
Miss Dora E E Stevens, sister Of the groom,
and after receiving the congratulations of a
number Of relatives and friends all were In
vited TO the dining room, where excellent
refreshments awaited them. The guests
spent the evening in various pl easures, and
at late hour. after returning thanks TO their
kind host and hostess for the hospitality ten

The bride received many handsome and use.

The Western Maryland engineering corps
have made survey for q new line at Edge
mont, with view to avoid the heavy
grade on the B. & G. V. branch at and near
the present station. The new line starts
about quarter OF mile north of the station
and cuts through Mitchell Stover's peach
orchard crossing the ravine near the water
tank some forty yards to the west and max
ing the junction with the main line at the
water tank. 1t is proposed to erect new
station at this point and abandon the present
rather seedy depot. The whole idea is TO
soften the grades there and to enable the
engines to take water whilst stopping at the
station. As the business goes now trains
have to stop at the water tank and then pull
up a powerful grade on curve to the station
where another stop has to be made. The
new survey will avoid the second stop and
effect very radical improvement in the
grade. 1t is thought the new line will be
built at -Waynesboro Gazette.

ALL RIGHT AaAIN.-Just two weeks ago
we felt the first twist Of the grip; 1t came in
the form Of the sensation of having thrown
our head out into space. It seemed to leave
its accustomed place on our shoulders at the
slightest provocation and when We felt that
it had returned, it occasioned US very little
qualification, for 1t seemed able to serve in
none Of its accustomed uses and besides 1t
