Two tramps We're taken to Cum
berland Friday from Westernport
and lodged n'jai! to await the &C.
ton Of The grand jury, charged with
assulting a minister on the Mary
land side, near Piedmont.
Last ednesday while, Rev. j.
W. Butler, pastor Of the Lutheran
church at Oakland. was about to
cross the swinging bridge which
connects Maryland with West
Virginia, he WAS accostod by two
tramps who commanded the rever-
end gentleman to"5tand and deliv-
er." Its not known whether
the minister was loaded down with
"gold bugs" or free silver" on
this occasion or not, but at any rate
ne refused to graft the request of
the aforesaid individuals represent
ing the tramp fraternity. In other
words, Rev. Butler held fast to
the money he may have have had
with him like Psyche to her Cupid
as only minister knows how hard
money is to get, let it be either
gold, free silver, Or both.
Angered over the fact that the
minister would not 90 down in his
pocket and hand oyer his money the
tramps said that they would throw
him into the river, and were about
to put their threats into execution
when some one who was passing
on the Maryland side, notified Mr..
Jack Kalbaugh, of Westernport.
Mr.. Kalbaugh at once deputized
three or four citizens and hurried to
the scene, where they found the
tramps trying to make the minister
hand over his money and vowing
that they would throw him ovel
the bridge. The officer arrested
the scamps and took them before
a Justice of the peace who commit
ted them to Jail as aboye stated.

A False Statement.

A statement has been going the
rounds of the press IN this section
of the State to the effect that the
charter of Oakland has been de-
clared unconstitutional because
of the fact that the title Of the act
was defective and was due to an
oversight of the Garrett delegation
at Annapolis during the last session
Of the legislature.
1t is well known fact that the
bill was prepared in Oakland and
that no blame can be attached to
our representatives, Senator Ra-
yenscroft has the original bill in
his possession and the correspondent
who first sent out the statement
as above mentioned may do well to
make an examination of the paper
before he tries to relieve the author
Of the bill from blame.

rec Hel6q, aged "a years, 9 months
and 23 days, eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. IL. W. Uessen, took
its flight and left bereft many sor-
rowing relatives and friends.
Death, at any tine, makes sad
hearts, but this visitation is doubly
sad taking as it does the flower of
the family and one who was held in
high estimation by all for her noble
character and modesty.
Miss Hessen returned to her
home near Oakland on the 2nd
inst. from a visit Of several weeks
to relatives at Martinsburg IN i'll
health but it was not until a few
days before her death that she was
compelled to take to her bed.
The funeral occurred last Sunday
morning at ten o'clock from st,
Peters Catholic church, Of which
the deceased had been a life long
and consistent member. The priest
in charge, Rev. Father Mattingly,
celebrated a high mass on the occas-
ion for the repose of her soul and
preached a most touching and ele-
waiting sermon, basing his remarkes
upon the subject of "Faith. The
remains were taken from the church
to the cemetery where they were
inferred in the presence of a large
and sympathlzing throng Of 1ela-
tives and friends. May her soul
rest in peace.

Last Thursday night a man reg
istered at the Central hotel in Oak
land under the name Of j. E. Kel-
ley and represented himself as being
an advance agent of the Barnum
show. Kelley rode a broken down
horse into town which he left at the
stable of Helbig Bros. Friday
morning he left the hotel without
paying his bill and went to the
Helbig stable where he hired two
fine driving horses and surrey
saying that he would return in two
days. The stipulated time having
arrived and Kelley not putting in
his appearance the proprletors be-
came suspicious and instituted an
investigation wiring to several
points. Monday evening they
received a telegram from Winches-
ter, Va, saying that man answer
ing Kelley's description had arrived
there with the horses add surrey.
Immediately after Mr., Andrew
Helbig, accompanied by his brother
Joseph, took a train for the above
point. A telegram from Mr.. Hell
big Tuesday stated that only one of
the horses and surrey had been
recovered. What became Of the
other horse he failed to state in his
dispatch.

Obituary..

Maggie t., daughter of Silas f.
and Martha Cuppett. of Elder, was
born August -, 1875, and died
July 3, 1896, aged almost 21 years.
She was afflicted nearly one year
and during that time not murmur
or complaint escaped her lips. She
was happily converted to God over
two years ago during a series of
meetings held by Rev. G. W. Cox.
She regularly attended Sunday
school and other church services
from early childhood. She was of
a retiring and unassuming DISPOSE
ton, therefore did not assume the
responsible positions in church as
much as we desired, but lived a
quiet and devoted life and when the
messenger of death came she was
ready to 60 to meet Him who re-
deemed her.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. E. r. Skidmore at
Johnstown, where her remains were
LAID by the side OF deceased friends.
She was held in high esteem by
all who knew her, and this was
demonstrated by the large crowd
who attended the funeral.
The friends of the deceased have
our deepest sympathies. May God
bless them all. Il.

Base Ball.

Last Thursday afternoon the
Oakland base ball club and a nine
made up of the clerks and young
men of Oakland crossed bats at the
East End park. In the tenth inning
the score stood % to % with the
Oakland club at the bat. A
blocked ball was thrown into
the field by an outsider. The
pitcher delivered it from his box
to the third baseman who put a
man out. This raised a row and
the Oakland club walked off the
field. The umpire called the game
and gave it to the clerks. Score,
9 to 0.

of series of games was played by
the Jack Oaks and the Mountain
Lake Park nlnes at the Park.

from the same place. Dent pitched
the first five innings for Oakland
when Prof. Smith went into the box
and finished the game. The score by
innings was as follows:

Running on Time.

As illustrating the degree of eff
cheney to which the present manage
ment of the B. & o. railroad has
u1@ s.s,;;l ,s4-iAsJmctlYe power equipment
and esprit de corps of the operating
staff, we call attention to the fact
that during the months of April,
May and June the passenger trains
and fast freight trains have almost
invariably arrived at their respective
destinations on schedule time. The
very few exceptions to the general
rule were due to causes inseparable
from railway operation, and against
which no forethOught can wholly
guard. 1t may be safely SAID that
during the period named no road in
America, comparable in magnitude
TO the B. & o., can surpass Its
record for punctuallty in train

INSURANCE RETALIATION BILL.

There is 10 be a hearing before the Governor
tomorrow on the insurance Retaliation bill
which is now IN his hands The opportunity
thus provided for more thorough statement
of the objections TO this measure than or
could be made Will. 1t in the Legislature
ought 10 be fully utilized. 1t is understood that
persons competent to explain the character OF
the bill. and It's probable consequences if il be-
comes Il law. will be present and. If they are,
doubtless they will receive an attentive hearing.
IN similar cases. however, the opposition To an
important piece Of legislation has failed to ma
tcrialize in the Executive Chamber. thus enabling
It's advocates to claim that its opponents were
not sincere and steadfast. 1t will he discrcdtable
TO those who have expressed great concern about
this matter If they are not on hand tomorrow
or at least suitably represented; but If for any
reason the Governor as a practical and sagacious
man Of affairs is not satisfied with to-morrow's
presentation of the case, ii will be his duty TO
give another hearing not for the sake Of delin-
qucnts who neglected their chance but for the
sake of the people In general, whose interests
this bill seriously threatens.
thorough clucidation Of this business is c,-
sential on two ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the way in
which the bill was passed and because Of its
contents. lDere was not Inc slightest puDnc
necessity for the unusual haste with which this
act Of retaliation WAS put through Senate and
Assembly. The measure involves immense in
teress. and for that reason every step in It's
progress should have been taken with dcbcra
ton. 1t Is essentially Of an International char
acter and therefore high sense Of comfy ought
10 have governed all the proceedings relating 10
1t. In reality all the circumstances Of its passage
were such as to suggest one of two things-elther
that it was bill which nobody could justly oD-
