THE VENEZUELA COMMISSION.

President Cleveland has named the mem
bcrs of the Venezuelan Commission. Two of
the number are Democrats and two Republ-
cans, while the fifth has mo- politics but his
procHyitics are Republican. The commission
is regarded as very satisfactory one, and
their opinions and conclusions on the import
ant question before them win be received
with confidence President Cleveland has
taken no partisan advantage in the selection,
as the two great parties are equally repre-
serted, with the fifth member having no
pronounced politics.
The commission will not have authority to
arbitrate the dispute between this country
and Great Britain. The scope of its power
is restricted to the investigation of the
facts relating to the boundary line dis
pute between Great Britain and Vcne-
zuola, aud its report is expected to show
where in its Judgment, the line ought
to be. Its decision on this point will
probably be accepted by our government,

A Fire at BuckeystoWn.

On last Tuesday night the large and
handsome store building, owned by Mr..
Charles +. Thomas and occupied by A..
j. McKenny and Sons, was entirely de-
strOyed 10y fire, together with a full
stock of store goods, aggregating an
amount of between $4,000 and $l3, 900.
The fire was discovered about 10 O'Clock
and general alarm was given which
brought a large crowd to the spot. AS
the town is without fire apparatus and
it was found that the adjoining build
iDgs were in danger, a message was
sent to this city for assistance. Imme-
diately the United company made prep
arations to go to the scene. In OGe
hour and four minutes they arrived in
Buckeystow six miles away, and rem
deTed valuable assistance. Just before
shuttiRg down to return to Frederick,
the piston rod of the engine was bent,
but no Inconvenience was suffered, as
the fire had been extinguished. The
building was of brick, with slate roof
and steel shutters, and was a fine struc-
ture erected few years ago, at a cost
of $1,000. The stock of goods was
owned by Messrs. McKenny and Sons,
and consisted of varied assortment of
general merchandise, only a small
quantity of which was saved. The
household effects of Mr.. John Baker,
who lives adjoining, were moved out,
but fortunately no damage was done to
t building. There is an insurance of
$1,000 on the building aud $1,000 Oh the
stock, in companies represented by Mr..
+. g. Thomas, of this city, and SINH
lar amount in the Frederick County
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, max
ing $4,000 in all.

Good Work of the Commissioners.

1T is gratifying to state that the far
ners of Emmitsburg District, conven-
lent to the stone crusher, which has
been placed in that district by the
Commissioners, are doing all in their
power to push the good work of better
county roads along. This is q good
move1on the part of our Commission
ers. Wherever the stone crushers
have been placed splendid results are
being obtained. This county may we'll
congratulate itself upon having a
Board of Commissioners who have
been long enough in office to find out
the needs and requirements of the peo-
pie. The splendid results in the way
of decreased expenditures at Montevue
since Mr.. Derr has been replaced,
also speaks volumes for our Commits
sioners and our Board of Charities and
Corrections. The contemplated i'm
provements at Montevue, which will
improve the condition of the colored
inmates, will also be highly endorsed
by our people. Six years County
Commissioners will leave some lasting
benefits to all concerned in the good
maze of our county.

Track Laying on the Electric
Road

On Tuesday last President George
VIM. Smith drove the first spike In the
Frederick and Middletown Railroad.
Since that time work has been pushed
along as rapidly as possible, and now
nearly a mile of the track is down.
The force of track layers is being in
creased as the facilities for handling
them will admit. The large con-
tract of trestling is nearing completion
and will be ready to receive the rails
by the time the track layers reach that
point. Track laying was commenced
on the Jefferson pike, just beyond Tel
egraph street, and worked towards
Middletown. 1t is the intention of the
directors to complete the other end of
the road before laying the tracks in the
city.

AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
A Negro Attempts to Assault a
Little Girl.

John Frazier, burly negro, was ar
rested and committed to Jail on Mon
day evening last, charged with at
tempting to commit felonious assault
upon seven-year-old daughter of Mr..
John Pa0gett, residing near Adams
town, this county. The attempt was
made on last Friday evening, during
the absence from the house of the
chlld's father. Frazier, with his wife.
and family of several children, are en-
ployed by Mr.. Padgett, who is a we'll
known farmer, and occupy a small
house on his farm. About six O'Clock
on the evening the child, in company
with Frazier and his small daughter,
left the house to hunt eggs After look
ing about the farm yard short time
the cOlored man induced the child to
go into the barn and suggested that
she should get up in the hay loft and
search for eggs. He assisted the child
to the loft, leaving his own child on the
floor. In few moments the screams
OF the child attracted some one to her
assistance and it was at once made
known that Frazier had endeavored to
commit fiendish assault upon the lit
tie girl.
Her clothing was somewhat torn and
she was terribly frightened from the
gross indignity that was evidently
foremost in the mind of the inhuman
fiend. DIR. Boone, of that vicinity,
was summoned, and after consulta-
ton it was found that the man had
not accomplished his purpose. Con-
stable Amos Thomas, of that district,
was immediately notified of the occur
renee and he at once placed Frazier
under arrest and later brought him to
this city, where he was committed to
Jail. The prisoner is a man of about 80
years and has been employed as farm
hand by Mr.. Padgett for about two
years.
The child's mother, who is suffering
with consumption, is completely pros
trated from the effects of the shock
and is confined to her room.
The authorities made every effort to
keep the matter as quiet as possible,
but Notwithstanding their efforts at
secrecy, it was generally known on
Monday at noon. Thejail officials deny
that the prisoner is in their possession,
but officer Thomas says he delivered
him there.

Poor Postal Facilities.

The citizens of townsville District
seem to be very anxious to have some
change made in their postal facilities
AS matters stand now a letter posted
in Frederick on Friday last, was re-
ceived in townsville on Monday. This
is a thriving town and wants daily
mail from Frederick. AS things are at
present, there is great dissatisfaction.
The present mail contract expires in
July, 1897, but the contract for the
next term will be given out in Septem-
Der and the townsville people want the
change made.
