Tuesday was another interesting feature of
the entertainment. General manager Mill
holland provided an observation car for the
party and in charge of ex-mine inspector
Mcmahon we were carried as far as Iona
coming, from which point, after being trans
ferred to the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
railroad we went in a special car in charge of
road supervisor Thomas Malloy to the Ocean
mine. Here superintendent Randolph and
foreman Mcmahon conducted us down shaft
to the headings over 200 feet below the sur
face. Provided with lanterns and under the
escort of detachment of courteous miners,
we wendell our way through miles of black
tunnels, saw the methods of operating first
class coal mine, the underground stables for
the mules, the pumping engines, and the
miners actually at work. 1t was a novel ex-
perence for most of the party and they feel
under many obligations for kindness to the
railroad and mine officials mentioned above,
as well as to mine inspector Otto Hohing and
mine foreman J. B. Thomas. An elegant
dinner was provided at Bealfs cottages, Frost
burg, through the generosity and hospitality
of the citizens and of Mr.. J. b. Oder, of the
MINING JOURNAL and his daughters who had
Joined the party early in the morning.
And the last to the Annapolis Cap
Hal:
Next morning a trip was made to the
Georges Creek coal regions, and through the
courtesy of superintendent Mllholland were
given the use of his observation car which
enabled the travellers to take in the gorgeous
mountain scenery. The party went down
into the bowels of the earth and were shown
the practical workings of coal mining. Dur
ing this portion of the trip the party was
given sumptuous dinner and were the
guests of the city Of Frostburg through the
courtesy of Mr.. J. B. Oder, editor of the
MINING JOURNAL, and his daughters.

Some of the residents of the rapidly
ingrowing end are dissatisfied with the
removal of the post office and several
reprisal plans are on dit. How they
will work out remains to be seen. But
one thing is sure-the removal is an
immense Inconvenience to "the paper
that is great" But it is not going to
rip the post-office department open
and spread it all over "the flat" on
account of the change.
Henry Wiebrecht has purchased the
j. S. Metzger & Co. grocery, Mr..
Metxger retiring to devote himself
more closely to his insurance business.
John F. Tagen computes 210 adj
ditional steps four times a day by the
post office removal to the extraordlna-
ry as we'll as average ingrowingender.
Michael & Burton make a special
announcement this week.
Whether it was genuine case of
typhoid out on Maple street is ques-
ton. But one thing is certain-that
awful disease is a seldom visitor to
Frostburg households. 1t went away
with the old springs and wells, and
now the only things that are re
proach to us are hog pens, cess-pooIs
and that glittering generality known
as sin.

APrettyChange.


The new post office apartment is the
large, airy, fuli-glass front snow
white east room of the Hotel Glad
stone, and the outfit enhances its at
Effectiveness to a marked degree.
This and the working portion of the
office occupy over half the space,
an enlargement much appreciated by
the officials.
The exterior of the Office proper is
V-shaped combination of solid oak
joinerwo Queen Anne style, ALI
gator and plate glass, lock and general
delivery boxes-altogethel neat and
pretty arrangement. The apex is cut
off at width of 5 feet, sloping thence
back to width of 10 feet, opening
upon ample space for the assortment
and money order business furniture.
The officefront Is 81 feet high and each
wing ISL feet long. A larger number
of lock-b boxes are provided; all are
rented and postmaster Benson expects
to furnish more.
The removal was authorized by F.
H. Jones, LIST Assistant Postmaster
General, June 30, and is the fourth
since June |, 1869, the date of C. H.
Walkers accession. Then the office
was housed in shanty on the site
occupied by ]. H. Bepler's meat store.
April l, 1870, it was moved to a build
ing on the site of J. l.. Marks clothing
store, and about six months later to the
room occupied by r. E. Boyns' bread
store, Here it remained until July
2, 1877, when it was taken to the east
room of the Hitchins Bros. building,
and now after 10 years it has gone
back to the door next that whence it
started over 26 years ago.
In all modern appointments draw
ers, locks, keys, alphabetical cases,
delivery wickets. ETC., the new outfit
is one of decided Improvement over
the old, both in convenience and APP
pearance, and all in thorough keeping
with Frostburg taste as well as Frost
burg demands.

AMONG THE RAILROADS,
No Agreement Reached Regard
ing Party Rates West of
the Missouri.
Restrictions on Summer Tourist
Tickets to Shut Out the
Scalpers.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 20.-The repre-.
sentatiyes of the trans Missouri railroads
returned from the Denver meeting, which
did not accomplish all that was set before
1t. No agreement was reached as to party
rates west of the Missouri and read Just
ment of the Missouri River Colorado rate
trouble was left open. These two matters
will be taken up at a special meeting to be
held here next Thursday. 1t was decided
to take out the round-trip rate from Kansas
City to Glenwood Springs, VIII ich has been
badly scalped in Denver. 1t was found
necessary, on account of manipulation by
the brokers, to use the joint agency and
deposit restriction hereafter on all summer
tourist tickets from the Missouri River to
Colorado common points. Offices will be
established i'll Colorado Springs, Pue bio
and Denver.
Articles of incorporation of the Chicago,
Hammond and Western Railroad were
filed to-day with the Secretary of State at
Springfield. 1t is proposed to build a
road from Blue Island, ILL.,, to a point in
Dupage County, to connect with the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul road. The
capital stock is 81 800, 600.
In future the Union Pacific officials will
keep clear of brokers and secret cut rates,
the legal department having ruled since
the Supreme Courts decision IN the Brown
case that a road in the hands of court
must ccnfine itself to meeting the secret
cut rates of competitors when discovered
with opposition tariffs wherever made.
The passenger department has been ac-
cordingly instructed.

Says People Are Tired of Gold
Bugs and Straddle Bugs
and PlutocratS.
JELLY FISHES ARE NOT WANTED
If Issues Are Not Squarely Met at
Chicago, Defeat for the Party
Is Certain.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Ex-senator Ben
jamin R. TiAman of South Carolina ar
rived here this morning. At noon he Wis.,
tied the Merchants Exchange and made a
brief address. Tonight the Senator spoke
for two hours at the Exposition building
on "The New Pending Crisis"
In an interview to-day he said:
If the Chicago convention does not de-
clare for free silver shall walk out, and
think all the delegates from my State will
do the same thing. The people are tired
OF gold bugs and straddle bugs, and they
are not going to be dictated to any more
by the plutocrats of Wall street.
eff Mr.. Bland is nominated I will GER
tainly support him. will try to get the
South Carolina delegation for him. We
want no Jelly fishes. We want men who
are for silver and who will stand by us. If
we go to Chicago and secure a declaration
for l6 to 1 and then nominate a straddle
bug. it will simply be to hang out an en-
blem of defeat.
"For all the loss we would sustain by the
detection of gold bugs we would gain more
by additions from free silver Republicans
and the Populists. The time has come for
new alignment and we want it made
right now"

ANSoN ABOUT TO RETIRE.
The Diamond WiU Lose a Great First
Ease PIQuer.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 2o.-Adrian G..
Anson is about to retire from the diamond.
At least he so informed Frank Pears. the
star twirler of the Detroit Western League
Club last night. Anson broached the SUBJ
ject of his retirement while the two were
talking. He said that he had definitely
decioed to withdraw from active service
on the ball field, and that as long as Decker
played first base with credit to the team
and to himself he would not again sup
plant him.
Pears said that Anson gave as his rea-
son for retiring that he felt that he lacked
good deal OF the suppleness and vim
necessary to play his position properly,
and that he had been criticised so severely
for remaining on the diamond that he felt
it was better for the club to give some
younger man an opportunity. He said
that SO much had been written and said
about his play at first that he thought the
work of the club as whole would be bene-
flied by his retirement, as the players
themselves might have become imbued
with the idea that his presence at first
base was hurtful rather than helpful.
He had determined, therefore, to give
Decker more thorough trial on the base
than he did last season, and if that player
demonstrated sufficient ability he (Anson)
would not play again.

CAREY ARID LAND ACT.
Report of the House Committee A1reein
to aanend 1t.

Report of the House Committee agreeing
to ssnend 1t.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20.-The
House Committee on Irrigation and Lands
has agreed to report favorably a bill
amending the Carey arid land act. One
amendment provides that all arid lands
which will not successfully produce ordi-
nary crops without irrigation, shall be
considered as .desert lands" The time
within which States and Territories are
permitted to reclaim and occupy desert
lands is limited to ten years from segrega-
ton.
After the segregation of arid land shall
have been made by the Secretary of the In
terror, map is to be filed and the lands
certified to the State or Territory, as desert
lands, and certificates of the Secretary OF
the Interior to be final. The committee
regards this as an i'm portant change, as it
shuts out the possibility of future contest
and gives guarantee TO those who invest
in construction of irrigating works.

Gear Preparing the Majority
Report on the Debts of
Pacific Railroads.
MINORITY VIEWS WITHHELD
In the House Questions of Deficiency
in the Revenues Are Con.
Sidered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20.-No
actual progress in the work of legislation
was made in the Senate to-day. The reso-
luton for an investigation into recent
bond issues came to the surface on two or
three occasions, but Hill of New York was
not inclined to yield an inch of the right
of the Senate to iull debate on the reso-
luton or to indicate any time when a vote
might be reached; and on the other hand
the chairman and members of the Com
mittee on APPROXIMATIONS insisted on the
importance of getting along with the great
appropriation bills. Finally PETER con-
sented reluctantly to have that resolution
laid aside temporarily until the appropria-
ton bills now before the Senate are
passed. 1t is still the unfinished business,
however, and as such will be entitled to a
formal presentation to the Senate at 2
o'clock every day.
The Indian appropriation bill was under
consideration the whole day, but did not
ADVANCE a single step. The paragraph on
the subject of the Indian schools was
passed over informally on account of the
absence of Carter of Montana, who had
offered an amendment to strike out the
House provisions on that subject and then
the Senate got into tangle on an amend
ment reported by the Committee on Ap-
propriations for the payment of the fees
of some fifteen attorneys for legal services
characterized as "lobbying' rendered to
the 'old settlers or Western Cherokees. I"
There was good deal of a controversy on
this subject in which Chandler of New
Hampshire took leading part. The mat
ter had not been brought to an issue
when the bill was laid aside for the day.
Notice was given by Villas OF Wisconsin
that on Wednesday, the 29th of April, he
would present to the Senate a communica.
ton from the Governor OF Wisconsin
offering to Congress the statue of Pere
Marquette.
Pugh CD of Alabama presented on the
part of his colleague, Morgan, absent on
account of illness, a minority report on the
Pacific Railroad debt bill
Wolcott (R.) of Colorado, a member of
the Pacific Railroad Committee, said the
bill reported by Gear on Friday last was
not the. unanimous report of the COM
mittee. He had not agreed and did not
agree with the rest of the committee as to
so much of the bill as related to the settle
ment with the Union Pacific and had
teeSiNeu lHe ilSut W ule d minority report.
The report filed on behalf of Morgan
represented that Senator's views and he
(WolcotD would also file a minority
report.
Brice (D.) of Ohio, another member of
the committee, said that the chairman
Gear was now revising the majority
report, which had not yet been presented.
In view of that statement the two minority
reports were withheld. The Senate at 4:l5
adjourned until tomorrow.
