BRYAN IN NEW YORK.

WIN. J. Bryan addressed all immense audi
ence of laboring men in New York city, We'd
nesday evening. 1t had been predicted that
the aborng people of New York would not
turn out to hear Bryan, but this meeting was
complete refutation of the prediction. The
building in which he spoke seats eight thou
sand people, and every available inch of space
was occupied within few minutes after the
opening of the doors, and thousands more were
unable to get in.
1t was meeting far out of the ordinary in
its method of procedure. Instead of the form
al introduction nominating presiding officer,
a cean-cut man with gray hair stepped to the
front of the platform shortly before s o'clock
and said "Wil the audience please take from
their seats the song that is there, and join in
singing it?' and they responded heartily.
''You Shall Not Press the Crown of Thorns
Upon the Toier's Brow rung against the
rafters. When it was finished, a mighty cheer
went ut-and so it was throughout the meet
ing, Labor organizations presided over the
meeting, and the stage contained representa-
tive from each labor organization. Letters of
Hays, who were expected to be present, and
there were vociierous cheers. Debs' message
said: "Millions are with Bryan, and will place
him in the chair Lincoln occupied in spite of
British Toryisln and corporation coercion
Resolutions were adopted commenting the
work of the Chicago convention, and proclaim
ing: "We believe the present contest to be
much more than struggle between the Demo-
cratic and socalled Republican party, more
than silver and gold and that it is not fight
of the poor against the rich, nor of labor
against capital, nor of the farmer against the
artisan or mechanic, nor the creditor against
the debtor class; but, when sfted and analysed,
and stripped from all sophistry, is battle of
the people against the oligarchy of wealth,
founded on special privileges; therefore,
"Resoved, That we pledge our services un-
rese,vedly to the earnest and active support of
the able young tribune of the people, William
Jennings Bryan, for president of the United
States, and we ask the support and earnest CO.
operation of all the toiers."
Bryan's speech was received with the Wild
est enthusiasm
John SHERMAN went to the far west to eX-
pound his gold-bpg theories, but he suddenly
learned that the climate wasn't good for his
health In other words, he discovered that his
doctrines were not appreciated by the people of
that section. AS a consequence, his tour was
cut short and he returned home.
GOVERNOR CULB&RTSON, of Texas, wrote to
Prince Bismarck, of Germany, asking his opin-
ion of the silver agitation here. Bismarck's
reply was, in effect, that the United States
should rcmonetize silver; that if she does, all

REPUBLICANS are circulating the report that
Sewal, the Democratic nominee for vice-presi-
dent, has endorsed McKinley's tariff ideas and
his letter of acceptance. Circulars are being
distributed with Sewall's name affixed, as
president of the American Merchant Marine
Association, in which McKinleyism is highly
commended Mr.. Sewall claims that he has
severed his connection with this association,
and that the use of his name was without his
authority. No one has heard of Tom Watson
getting mixed up in such deals.

"A "BR1GHT and shining" Republican light
of this city said to the writer, the other day:
"Why, we are for silver, and you'll never get
free silver till we give it to YOU" Here's the
money plank in the Republican platforln-or
the gist of it: "The existing GOLD standard
must be preserved" Does that plank mean
ANYTHING, or are you just lying to the gold-bugs
of Wall and Lombard streets in the hope of
fooing them and getting them to contribute
literally to your campaign fund? You may
fool them, but you won't fool the people.

A Model Cottage.

The dwelling near the depot, lately
erected by John Stevens, though not
quite complete, is a neat example of
something out of the Frostburg ordi-
nary. 1t is two-story edifce contain
ing eight spacious rooms, exclusive of
bath and pantry. Alphabetically it
is somewhat T shaped, and though not
designed to be imposing or antique, it
is, with its three gables and double
story bay-window, quite attractive.
Inside, the vestibule and stairway
combine into q pretty arrangement Of
panel work and railing. The doors,
too, of veneered oak and pretty pat
terms, are heavy, handsome and close
shutting specimens of paneling. The
window casing is something new here
in oak, called "ancient trim" Except
in the parlor, where they come nearly
to the floor, the space underneath the
windows is also paneled. The sashes
are also of new design, easily moved,
stayed and locked.
The parlor is a pretty apartment,
lighted by double windows and orna-
meuted partly by a unique oak mantel.
From these windows, as from all the
outlooks of this portion of the house,
there are pretty views of the scenery
roundabout.
When the shutters are placed on the
outside Of the house, complete as it is
in interior arrangement, it will be quite
handsome outside. 1t was designed
mainly by Mr.. Stevens and the work
done by William j. Saurbaugh.

"The Grand Clock !"

David H. Plummer, one of the Con-
solidation coal company's pumpmen,
at the pumping station, near Borden
Shaft, has just completed another
time-piece of unusual size, structure
and equipment. 1t is 6 feet high, 3
feet wide and foot deep, and of
Gothic church-front shape, each side
hanked by hanging bell tower.
Beginning at the top clock face of
Is inches diameter covers an ordinary
spring mechanism regulated by a
pendulum.
On the next floor below, third from
the bottom, there is roller organ
which plays six pretty tunes. A con-
nection is arranged by which the
clock starts the organ to play one of
the tunes every hour, or by device
Mr.. Plummei has attached, it can be
started at any time.
On the second floor stand the figures
Of six Apostles on a rotary platform,
each making number OF circuits in
side an open door so long as the tune
lasts.
Two other Apostles guard the stair
way to the main entrance.
Two double doors open upon the
organ on the third floor and one upon
the rotary platform on the floor below.
There are other features of subordinate
though pretty import.
Except the clock and organ mechan-
ism the entire structure was made by
Mr.. Plummer. The cherry case is a
marvel of scroll sawed handiwork, and
the clock face, figures and hands
equally attest patient though deft
manipulation Altogether it is quite
monument to Mr.. Plummer's genius,
patience and skill.

Il. Il.

Next Thursday, Goth inst, the Car
negie Athletic club, of Pittsburg, Pa,
will play the Frostburg team at the
Driving Park, this place.
That this will be an interesting con-
test there can be no doubt, and every
admirer of the National game ought
to attend. Tom Quinn, wellknown to
all the old players and patrons of the
game here, is the manager and catcher
of the visiting team. Quinn and
O'Brien, it will be remembered, were
Frostburg's battery during the famous
season Of 1885, when the metropolis
beat every club in the county. Not
only so, but the glorious old town in
that year shut Homecoming out twice
in succession
o. this occasion the Frostburg
management will put the strongest
possible aggregation of home talent in
the contest against the visitors, and as
it is conceded that the metropolis leads
all others in the number, extent and
qualifications Of skillful players, the
visitors will find that it will be no
child's play to defeat the home club.
William Jack and Thomas jackson
will be the local battery. George
Gunnett, George Coleman, Philip Ger
- lack and Olin Gunnett will play the
inield, while the outlied will be looked
after by James Dando, William Crow
and John Spates.
The ground will be put in firstclass
condition, and every other effort exert
ed to make this the baseball event of
the year.
The visitors are fine body of
gentlemen and the club one of the
highest repute in Western Pennsyl.
vania.
1t is especially hoped the ladies will
turn out en- maSse to witness this con
test and grace a rare occasion with
their smiling presence. Thus visitors
and home folks will see that baseball
is not yet dead pastime in Frostburg

A New Hotel.

j. II. Ho.zshu, one of Cumberland's
enterprising young men, has had plans
drawn and will soon commence the
erection of three-story hotel of beau
tiful architecture on Bears Heights,
overlooking the Narrows and the city
of Cumberland. Mr.. Holzshu's idea
of a good thing is to be applauded,
but his hotel site is still too far below
mosquito line. Better drop it and
come to the Frostburg hotel and bring
all his customers. There will then be

A Woman Shot .

Somebody swore out warrant
Wednesday against John Paul, color
ed, with view to having him arraign-
ed as Il disc rderly character. John at
once assumed that his wife, with whom
he has not been on good terms for
some time, did it, and he at once
sou ght, found and fired two shots at
her. DR.. j. Marshall Price was called
and found that one of the shots had
struck her above the ear, near her
bump of curiosity, and after blowing
under the scalp about two inches,
stopped. The doctor took it out and
found it nearly as flat rs ftp, 81 to l
free and unlimited. A slight confusion
on the back of the neck and the
presence of ball in the woman's
clothes showed that the second shot
was almost entirely harmless. AS
intimated before, John and Minnie
have not been getting along smoothly.
About three weeks ago she returned
to her father-a step which John has
not relished. She had nothing to do,
however, with the issue of the warrant.
John took leg bail at. once, is still at
at large, and at this writing (Friday)
is no doubt calculating that it is about
time for Minnie's funeral. Meanwhile,
Minnie is believed to be out of danger.
John is SAID to be worthless, side
whiskered cuss, who, if he had started
for good, it would be a pity to over
tako

In the account of the trial of Rev

last week, by some inadvertcnce the
names of Mrs. Katie Gels and Misses
Minnie Brode and Annie Baker were
placed among the witnesses for the

witnesses for the defense.
The JOURNAL most cheerfully makes
this correction, IN justice to the ladies
mentioned as we'll as to Mr. Britt.
Thus, instead Of there being "eight
witnesses for the prosecution, includ-
ing SIX ladies'" as was also stated in
the Baltimore Sun of the 10th inst j.
there were, all told, but five witnesses
for the prosecution as against twenty
three for the defense.
