Adjournment.

Is there any truth in the following
clipped from one of our valuable ex-
changes:
The vanity of some men is appalling.
If they start in business and the news
paper men do not shower praise upon
them they are insulted. If they go
away on a visit and you do not men
tion it they say you have few fa-
vorites. This is all right enough.
We make q business of giving the
local happenings and if any is missed
it is not our fault. To get every item
Of note is task we do not propose to
undertake. Those parties who are
cognizant of worthy news items
should call our attention to them; if
they do not we are liable to overlook
them. This is one side where the
newspaper man is blamed. The other
side he catches it harder, but not so
often. Let the paper speak of some
little contemplate action of some
party and a deadly enemy is made.
The man whose name appears in print
not followed by a perfect eulogy by
the editor gets up and swears eternal
vengeance. If you pun some fellows
or give spicy hint to some little joke,
he is certain to open his mouth in pub
lie places and fulfill the proverb which
says "a fool has nothing to do but
open his mouth, and ye shall know
him."
In the abstract we care but little for
these harmless spasms. Some men are
given to them; they have become
chronic. 1t is mania which we do
not care to cure. There is no law to
correct a mans vanity or prevent him
from making a fool of himself and also
offensive before men. The natural
penalties are always considered severe
enough.

o'clock freight wreck occurred at
Skipnish, four miles west of Oakland,
by which three cars and the engine Of
an east-bound freight train were de-
rallied, the engine overturning and
rolling down the embankment. The
cause Of the wreck is said to be the
failure of the repair hands to spike
down rail which they were engaged
in putting in. Engineer Weaver had
his. arm dislocated.

occurred near Bloomington by which
three cars were smashed and traffic in
terfered with for two hours or more.

The body of Edward Sebold, aged
twenty-five years, Baltimore and
Ohio brakeman, residing at Piedmont,
was found in the Keyser yard horribly
mutilated, at 1915 last night. No
one saw the accident. He was on an
eastbound freight and it is supposed
that he was thrown off on the oppo-
site track by the sudden application
of air, and that passenger train No. 1
ran over him. His body was cut in
two. Mr.. Sebold was the only sup
port of his mother and sister.
Mr.. William r. Percy, of Frostburg,
one of the wealthiest and most influ-
entail citizens of Allegany county,
while riding on horse few miles
below Cumberland last night about
ten o'clock, was thrown from the
back of the animal into the canal and
drowned. Mr.. Percy owns two valu-
able farms in the vicinity in which he
met with the fatal accident and being
unaccompanied it is presumed the
horse became frightened at some
object with the result above stated.
Mr.. Percy has many warm friends in
this tcounty who will be panied to
hear of his sudden death.

Eriar-Bend Seminary.

On last Friday evening was held the
last meeting for this session of the
AriseouZeteai literary society, ,ofBriar-
Bend Seminary. The evenings eXer-
cises consisted of vocal and instru-
mental music, declamatiOns, essays,
and miscellaneous original produc-
tions, all of which did credit to their
authors. The general excellence of
the performances bore abundant evil
dence Of the carful training that the
students have received in the Semi
nary. The conclusion to which we
are led after looking upon the
thorough work of the past session is
that parents having sons and daugh-
ters to educate will do well to investi-
gate the claims of this home institu-
ton upon their patronage.

PROBABLE MURDER.


BulleI Hole in IOTeheau.
On Saturday afternoon the body of
a man supposed to be that of Christ
ian Paul was found on Little Savage
mountain, between Frostburg and
Grantsville. There was a bullet
wound in the forehead, and as 10
weapon was found in the vicinity to
substantiate a theory of suicide, the
impression has become general that a
murder has been committed.
Paul lett his home on Castleman
creek in Garrett county, where he re-
sided with his sister, some six weeks
ago, and nothing was heard from him
until the finding of the body. While
much decomposed the body has been
identified as that of Paul.
The deceased formerly lived at
Mount Savage and was engaged as a
repair hand on the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad. He always
had goodly sum of money in his
pocket and the probabilities are he
was murdered for his money. The
authorities are now making an inves-
tigation. Paul was about 30 years
old.-Cumb News, of Tuesday.
