OF the sudden death of Mr.. Joshua

of this section. Mr. Main, as usual in
the evening" had attended to his stock
and other little duties that are incident
to farm life, and returned to the house;
he had short conversation with his
wife and relapsed into silence: she,
thinking he was taking nap, did not
notice or pay any attention to his ST.
turned to her husband and found upon
MS countenance the indelible stamp of
death. The nei.hbors were notified
and found him beyond the aid of med
lcSl skill. The probable cause of death
was heart failure. Mr.. Main was rs
years of age and pursued the vocation
OF farming in this section for many
years. He was the oldest son of the
late John J. Main. He leaves wife,
two sons, w. +. Main, of this section,

country when young man. He leaves

been lost. Each time they had been
given TO Miller to have balanced.
When asked concerning this latter
fact, Miller gave evasive replies. Mr..
Hayes, counsel for Miller, then cross.
examined Mr.. Williams. He asked
such questions rs brought out the fact
that the practice of the Central Ma
tional Bank were not so strict as the
banks of Baltimore, etc. Customers
are often allowed behind the ratings,
aud the method of bookkeeping
was not the latest and most approved.
Mr.. Marbury objected TO this question
and evidence on the ground that no
matter what the bank does, it gives
no license or excuse to a clerk for en-
hezzlement. The Judge sustained this
point. Some changes in the regular
proceedings were made in order TO al
low the testimony of several persons
from Frederick, among them being AS
sociate Judge john Lynch aud Mayor
Yeakle. They testified as to Miller's
general reputation before the bank af-
fair. Judge Morris remarked that had
Miller not had good character 1t is
not probable he would have been in the
employ of the Central National Bank.

proceedings of the trial can be learned.

A Western Cold Wave.

Speaking about "cold weather, what
is the matter with the little ave
which began on Sunday afternoon?
1t began way out west aud came east
to give us the frozen face" The ther-
mOneter came dow n like the price on
"Brother Isaac's fine clothing" and
all America is cutting lots of ice.
With this cold snap came increased
suffering for those who already have
felt the chill winter blasts, aud the
wonder is how many kept from freez-
ing during the height of the severe
cold. Here in Frederick the thernOm-
eter was down below zero and every
body was trying to keep warm. Tie
poor suffered untold agony for want of
food and warmth.

NEW TROLLEY ROAD.
Proposed to Run From Middle
town to Myersville and Recently
incorporated - Capital Stock
100000.

The gratifying and continued sue
cess of the Frederick and Middletown
Electric Railway, since the day it was
started last summer. has been respon-
sible for more than one increase in the
commercial and business life of both
terminals, and this spirit of progress
has permeated the length and breadth
of the entire country. There is incen-
tive to assist, not one good sized
town not already placed in easy
reaching distance by means of steam
railroads. but which does not desire
closer connection with the county seat,
by means of the modern and complete
system of trolley roads.
Acting on this suggestion which had
come from many sources, several gen.
tlemen of this city, Myersville and
other places, recently incorporated the
Myersvile and Catucin Electric Rail
road, with capital stock of 100000,
divided into 1000 shares of $50 each.
The work of securing the money with
which to start the road will be begun
at once. The incorporators are: Col.
ID. G. Winebrenner, Cyrus +. Flock
and Reno S Harp, of Frederick; Maui
lice E. Brightbil, of Annville, Pa. !;
Juhn &. Lealherman, George ID. Toms
aud George w. Wachtel, of Myers
vile.
The charter grants the company
the privilege A making eight miles
and a quartz of railroad, begin
mug at Mddletown aud extending
to point on the tip of South Noun
tain about three miles beyond Myers
vile. 1t is rot the intention of the
company, however, to build the road
farther than Myersville this year.
Along the proposed route of the road
are such prosperous and populous vii
lagos as Pleasant Walk, Highland,
Harmony, EIlerton, Church Hill and
Middlepoint. Some of these places
are not directly on the line, but not
more than three miles distant. All
the people of that section are much
enthused over the project, and if the
stock is at once disposed OF work will
be started as soon as good weather per-
mits.
