BUSINESS MEN,
WAKE UP!
Our City Will Miss the Washing
ton and Gettysburg Railroad I'M
less Prompt Action is Taken at
Once-Projected to Pass Through
Mt. Airy and Westminster.

The business men of Frederick will
observe that there is move on hand
/ to build a steam railway from Wash
ington to Gettysburg, via Mt. Airy and
points in Carroll County. Now is the
time for the people Of Frederick to act.
This may lie the last chance to ever
get road from Washington. The line
should pass through this city, where
all excursion parties could visit the
battlefields of Monocacy, Crampton's
Gap, South Mountain, Antietam and
other points of historic interest near
this city. The road from here along
the base of the Catoctin, through Lew
istown, Thurmont and Emmitsburg
would insure rich return. The fol-
lowing notice of the road appears in
the Washington papers:
"At meeting of the directors of the
Washington, Westminster and Gettys-
burg Railroad Company, held at the
company's office, in the Atlantic Build
ing, on Thursday, the Goth inst, it was
decided to proceed at once with the
work of constructing the road. Stilson
Hutchins, of Washington, was chosen
president, and J. B. Colegrove vice.
president, with William B. Thomas,
of Westminster, as treasurer, and Hen
ry A. Cady. as secretary. The directors
are Hutchins, ColegrOve, Thomas, T.
H. Shrver, J. A. Shorb, E. j. Lawyer,
and George Cotton Smith.
The preliminary survey by the engi-
neer has been made, and their reports
are most favorable for road having
grade to exceed 2 per cent. anywhere
on the line. This road will enter WASH
ingron over the Great Falls line and
will be constructed from Cabin John
Bridge. 1t will be seventy miles long
as the crow flies, from the District line
built from Cabin john Bridge, the pres
ent terminus of the Washington and
Great Falls Railway Ia distance of
eight miles from Washington, via
Rockville, Etchison, Damascus, Mount
Airy, Westminster, Union Mills, and
LittIestown, to Gettysburg. traversing
a beautiful and fertile section of Mary
land and Adams County Pa, bringing
into close connection with Washing
ton City that rich section. Pledges
were made to take up the entire capt.
tai stock, and the meeting of the Board
of Directors was most satisfactory, en-
couraging reports being received from
every part of the proposed line of road.
The board expressed determination
that this shall be a first-class road in
every particular and that it shall be
constructed in such way as to guar
antee great speed. Passengers will be
able to leave the Capital at a. M, ar
irving at the battlefield at 8 o'clock,
returning same evening, having had
seven hours time at Gettysburg. 1t is
understood that the motive power will

GOOD MUSIC.
The City Opera House Orchestra
Appear IN Concert and Delight
Small but Appreciative
Audience.

The first concert of the Frederick
City Opera House Orchestra, composed
of fifteen young musicians under direc-
ton of Prof. John w. Niepold, was
held in the City Opera House, on Tues
day night last, and resulted in sue
cessful and highly gratifying enter
talnment. A fair sized but attentive
and enthusiastic audience listened to
the carefully selected and well render
ed program and applauded the clever
efforts of the performers to the echo.
This is the first time that this musical
organization has appeared In concert,
but many of them have at various
times taken part in similar events.
Some excellent solos were given by
Prof. Geo. Edward Smith, Mr.. Robert
Burck, Mr.. Albert Wallace and Mrs.
F. V. Staub. The latter sang pretty
love song written for her by Prof.
Smith.
The work of the orchestra was excel
lent, considering their number, and
everything passed off pleasantly.
1t is to be hoped that we will soon
have the pleasure of hearing them
again, as nothing so suits the taste of
all creatures as sweet music.
The members of the orchestra are
John w. Niepold, director; Robert E.
Burck, first violin; Albert l.. Hargett,
second violin; Frank B. Rhodes, flute;
William Fisher, clarlonette; Albert r..
Wallis, first trumpet; Charles Bremen,
second trumpet; ]. Elmer Mailman,
trombone; F. T. Rhodes bass viol; G..
Howard King, pianist; Frank M.
Scholl, drums and traps.

Liberty, claimed his attention. The
pleasant drive in the morning air
showed him many of the beauties of
the Frederick Valley hitherto un-
known to him. Rev. J. HI. O'Rourke,
5. j., assisted His Eminence to con-
firm 55 persons. 20 of which were con-
vefted to the Catholic faith. A num-
Der of the 176 persons confirmed at st.
Johns Church, Frederick, were also
converts.
The Cardinal left Liberty for Bal
timore, where his loving flock will be
happy to welcome their well appreci-
ated Father.
Cardinal Gibbons took away with
him many kind recollectioDs of the
kindness and hospitality of Frederick,
and while his advent here was the cause
of much pleasure, the memory of his
keen, but kindly face will linger for
many days in the hearts of those hap
py enough to make his acquaintance.

Yesterday afternoon the Rev. Barsh-

at the chapel, his subject being

spoke of the two kinds of mothers.
the earthly and the spiritual, and re-
cited some interesting "reminiscences of
his younger days which made him still
love his earthly mother, also the rea-
sou why he loved his spiritual mother:
ne also insisted that as everyone loves
ms earthly mother so should he also
love his spiritual mother. In his re-
marks he paid fitting tribute to the
U. b. Church, and also gave some in
terestlng statistics in regard to the
same; the subject had its humorous as
well as pathetic side; his remarks were
listened to by large congregation.
The laurel will soon be in bloom.

Eighty-Five Years Ago.

CHICAGO, Ill, August 14.-1t is
eighty-ive years ago tomorrow since
the little garrison of Fort Dearborn
was massacred by five hundred In.
dams from the tribes of Pottawatomies.
Ottawas and Chippewas. The old fort
stood in the vicinity Of what now is the
corner of Eighteenth street and Prairie
avenue. Until within a few years,
when it was blown down, the "Massa-
ere Elm" stood in front of George M.
Pullman's residence, which is at the
the corner of Eighteenth street and
Prairie avenue. Now the historic
''fieId of bloor' is marked by a hand
some monument by the Danish sculp-
tor, Carl Rohl-Smith, a gift from Mr..
Pullman to this city. After the fall of
Commodore Hull ordered
Capt. Heald, com mander of the Fort
Dearborn garrison to evacuate the forG
and take his soldiers to Detroit. 1t
was while the soldiers were evacuating
,he fort that the Indisns swooped down
IN the little band of men, women and
children; which numbered fifty-four
)rivates, two officers and twenty women
md children. The whites defended
bravely, and did not sur
ender until their fees had been reduc-
ID to q small number.
