A PRELIMINARY SURvEY.-Parties were
engaged last week in making preliminary
survey for the proposed extention Of the
Electric Railroad from Middletown to Myers
vile, with the ultimate hope Of extending
the road to Hagerstown. The survey was
for the purpose of securing the probable cost
of building the road four miles to Myersville
The survey in Middietown ran as far as the
public school house on the north commons
.-..Hal3y Register.
HIGH ScHooL-We are pleased to learn
that the School Commissioners for Frederick
county have established High School in
this place, with Mr.. G. l.. Palmer, teacher.
This new department is valuable acquisi-
ton to our public school and the small COM
pensation required for the instruction Of each
pupil in the higher branches of learning, is
merely triae, compared with the benefit to
be derived from three years course in
high School. This new department should
receive the hearty support of the people Of
this community. Chronicle.
TEACHERS lhsTITUTE.-The teachers in
stitute for Frederick Co., of which there was
considerable talk is finally matter of fact

Frederick, on February II, 1e and 10, 1897.
Arrangements are being made for series of
programs covering the three days that will
be of great value to the teachers and OF great
interest to the general public. Prof E. B.
Prettynan and other prominent instructors
and school officials will be present, and it is
probable that series of studies in school
methods will be expounded by an expert
pedagogue. The committee are now at
work on the programs ana hope to procure
a number of well known speakers.

A LEGAL QUIBBLE.-Now the question
has been raised as to the legality of the acts
of the several boards Of County Commission
ers IN the State, when they sit as Board of
Control and Review in the matter Of the new
assessment. Some wise man has discovered
that it Is at variance with certain sections OF
the Maryland Bill of Rights, in this, that that
venerable document forbids the holding of
more than one State Office by any one person.
Just how the three officers who constitute
the Board of Public Works have been per.
mitted to act in two capacities all these years,
if by legislative enactment County Commits
sioners may not sit as q Board of Control
and Review is puzzle. or course we make
no claim to the possession of a illegal mind"
consequently from the standpoint of the law
the two cases may be as dissimiar as this is
from that, but from plain Hey -Rube-com-
nonsense standpoint there is neither dis
tinction nor difference.

A "PIG-HEADED" PRESIDENT.

WRONG MAN IN OFFICE HAS
CAUSED THE GLASS-BLOWERS
THEIR TROUBLE.
Thomas p. Clark, secretary of the
Baltimore branch of the Window Glass
Cutters Association, said yesterday
that the trouble at the Christiana Win
dow Glass Company works, at VIII
mington, was brought about by the
"pigheadedness" of Simon Burns, OF
Pittsburg. president of the window
Glass Blowers and Gatherers Union
of America.
1.-The action of President Burns Mr.
Clark said. "was caused by antagonism
toward the Cutters and Flatteners
League. That association and the
Window Glass1BlOwers' and Gatherers
Union have each presented a scale OF
wages for the coming season, which
were signed by the Christiana Com
pany. The men have been working {
month under the two scales, but Burns
insists that he shall fix the scale o
wages for the cutters and flatteners
and says he will not allow the blower
and gatherers to work unless he Is al
lowed to do so.
This is the first time in the history
OF organized labor that one class o
workmen have refused to work will
another because they think they arr
paid too much.
"The Window Glass Workers Asso
| citation of America was formed In 1873
and comprised blowers, gatherers, fiat
| teners and cutters. Prior to that tim
each trade had its own association. Tn
articles of amalgamation signed by tn
four trades demanded that If any on
of the four trades asked for an advanc
all should receive a corresponding In
crease. The same rule was to govern Il
case of reduction.
In 1894 the four trades received
Production of 221a per cent. in thei
wages. When the manufacturers an
workers wage committee met in Phila
I delphia last August to arrange seal
i of wages for the coming season tn
I manufacturers offered the workmen tn
wages of 1898, before the 2216 per CEN
reduction. But the blowers and gath
erers of the workers committee refuse
to accept, and presented a scale askin
for 2S per cent. increase for blower
and gatherers and u per cent. inereaa
for cutters and fiatteners.
This the cutters and hatteners oil
, iected to, as il was lower than the maj
ufacturers had offered their trade, an
as it was a violation of the articles
amalgamation, they filed bill for n
I ceiver for the association in Pittsburl
% their headquarters. That suit has n'
] yet been tried"

A NOVEMBER CONVENTION.

THAT is WHAT THE UNION RE
PUBLICANS HAVE DECIDED
UPON.
AT the meeting of the Union Republi-
can State Committee at Dover yester-
day afternoon it was decided to hold a
state convention at Dover on November
4. On Saturday Chairman Alice will
promulgate the call for this meeting. II
is believed that this convention will so
revise the rules as to provide for five
delegates from each legislative district
and the election of a new State Com
mittee. Doubtless the regulars will be
roundly denounced for 'their refusal TO
harmonic along lines prescribed by the
Addicksites.
The primaries for the election OF
delegates to the convention will be held
on October 30 i'm all parts OF the state,
and all Republicans will be invited to
take part.
81 see that the Morning News says
there was some opposition to the call
ing of the convention" said Committee
man Walter II. Hayes to an Evening
Journal reporter this morning. THAT
is not true. 1t was the unanimous ac-
tion of the committee"

MORRISON ON THE BRIDGE.
HE GAVE THE LEVY COURT 4 BIT
OF ADVICE BY LETTER YEsTER-
DAY.

HE GAVE THE LEVY COURT a BIT
OF ADVICE BY LETTER YEsTER-
DAY.
At the meeting of the Levy Court
yesterday afternoon a letter was read
from President Alvin II. Morrison, Of
the Delaware Construction Company,
relative to the trouble at Third street
bridge He called the courts attention
to the fact that much has been said
about he bridge i'm the newspapers In
regard to the manner OF construction.
The bridge, he said, was built in 1889
according to the plans and specifica-
tions prepared by Theodore Cooper, the
best bridge engineer In the country
The copy Of the contract and plans and
specifications are still preserved In the
office Of the company and can be seen
at any time Mr. Morrison said that
the centre pier of the bridge had not
settled as has been stated, as II is i'm
possible Every pile was driven on
rock bottom. The pier may vibrate a
little, he said If the mud has been
dredged from around the piles. II this
is so he recommended that they be
raped. The motor used to turn the
bridge is the second on used to turn
bridge in the United States The first
one was employed at Bridgeport, Conn.
The one here was planned after It. The
best work attainable was put on the
bridge. In the letter he called atten-
tion to the fact that the county had
employed an engineer and machinist TO
examine the work before It was ac-
cepted. He asked the court to employ
competent engineer to go over the
plans and specifications and work on
the bridge, and II any inferior work on
material is found Mr.. Morrison agreed
TO pay for the investigation and repairs
to the defective parts.
The communication was accepted and
khled
An appropriation of $500 was SCI
apart for the building OF a bridge al

issued for the Trustees OF the Poor loar

FOOLED THE HYPNOTIsT.

Harry Ferrler has become imbued
with the idea that he possesses hyp-
motto powers to a high degree. Last
evening he invited a number OF his
young friends to a local real estate Of
fee to see him exercise his great power,
the understanding being that some OF
them were to serve as his subjects. Be-
fore they went in they made 1t up
among themselves that they were to act
favorably upon all OF his suggestions,
no matter whether they we're under the
hypnotic influence or not. The result
was that he performed some wonderful
feats, some of which surprised even
himself.
