The hotel keepers not having any no

tain the great number arriving. 1t
being Sunday nothing could be Sc
cured at the stores and in consequence
before half of the visitors wants had
been supplied the hotel keepers were
compelled to close their doors to wait

many went hungry. Notwithstand-

Where Garrett Stands,

The Oakland correspondent of the
Baltimore Suf, wrote his paper under
date of August 1st the following of
political importance at this time:
Political matters are being stirred
up in Garrett county. DR.. r. A. Raw
enscroft Is candidate for Congress,
and 1t is not believed he will have
any opposition in this county. The
delegation will doubtless give the
Doctor a complimentary vote Judge
Edward Stake is favorite with Gar
rett county republicans and the vote
OF the county in the convention will
doubtless be cast for him after com
plimenting the Garrett county man.
1t looks very much like Judge Stake
will walk off with the nomination.

Richard Tasker, employed on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Swan
ton in the capacity Of trackman, for
a week or more previous to Tuesday
of last week was compelled to relin-
quish his employment on account of
failing eyesight. AS day succeeded
day his sight perceptible weakened
until the day above mentioned his
eyes were in such state that he could
not distinguish night from day. On
Saturday he was brought to Oakland

tests We're applied. Monday slight
change was noticed for the better and
it is now thought that his sight can
be restored
What brought about the sudden
loss of Mr.. Tasker's eyesight cannot
be determined but it is presumed that
the intense hot weather had consider

Tomorrow the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad will run an excursion to Mt.
Lake Park from points along its line,
principally Louisville, KY, Indianap-
oils, Ind, and Cincinnati, o., with
tickets good for five days. The rate
for the round-trip fare is exceedingly
low and a great crowd is expected.
During recent years the railroad Off
cials have given this section except
ional facilities and in consequence
the road is enjoying an increased pat
ronage.

VICTORY for License.

The legal contest between the town
Of Oakland and the saloon keepers
has terminated. AS heretofore stated,
the Circuit Court granted a manda-
mus against the mayor requiring him
to return the ordinance passed by the
council imposing a license Of $3.50 per
year upon each saloon. The mayor
returned the ordinance without his
approval, and thereupon the town
council promptly passed it over his
veto. All the saloons in the town have
paid the license fee into the treasury,
and the troublesome matter is ended

Last Thursday afternoon after THE
REPUBLICAN had been printed and
mailed a telegram was brought to
this Office containing very meagre
particulars 81 q fire. which swept over
the town of Grantsville the night pre-
vious, burning a number of buildings
and causing considerable loss.
Yesterday morning we received
from correspondent at Grantsville
the following additional information
regarding the fire:
About eleven o'clock on last We'd
nesday night, July 9th, fire broke
out in the rear of Bender Bros. store
building in this town which was not
checked until it had completely con-
sumed the entire block OF buildings
from DR.. McGann's Office to the Ma
tional hotel, owned by Mr.. C. NJ. Liv-
engood.
The origin of the fire remains
mystery, but it is presumed that it
was the work of an incendiary.
Mr.. Charles Bender, of the firm of
Bender Bros, had left his store only
a few minutes before the alarm was
given. He says that when he left
the building there was no sign of fire
either on the exterior or interior and
in less than five minutes thereafter
the rear end of the building was such
a mass of flames that it was useless
task to try to save it. From the Ben
der store the flames spread both east
and west and in turn destroyed Mr.
John 0. Getty's dwelling, the unoc-
cupied store house belonging to Bow
ser Bros. opposite the National hotel
and the dwelling house occupied by
Mr.. Jacob Bender.
Mr.. Getty succeeded in getting all
his household goods from his building
except the cooking stove and some
minor articles. Mr. Jacob Bender
saved the greater part of his furni-
ture and Bender Bros. lost their en-
tire stock with the exception of very
few things.
The barn belonging to Mr.. C. NJ
Livengood was on fire several times
but with obstinate courage when the
hope was almost forlorn a renewed at
tack was made on the fire fend and
the building was saved with very lit
tie damage.
1t was only by the hardest kind of
work in the most intense heat that the
National hotel, the store building of
Noah Broadwater and the dwelling
house of Mrs. Winterburg, as well as
the Office of DR.. McGann was saved,
the only things used in subduing the
flames being buckets of water handled
by men and women and a small spray
ing hose. The heat on some Of the
buildings was so intense that men
could only be kept at work by their
neighbors throwing water upon them
and thus in manner lessening the
heat.
All the losses, with the exception of
Mr.. Getty's, are pretty well covered
byinsurance, Mr.. Getty's policy having
expired Bowser Bros. had an insur-
ance of 49, 400, of which they will re-
ceive about $3.50. Bender Bros. in
surance amounted to $500. Their
loss has been adjusted .and they will
receive from the insurance companies
1916. The building in which the
conducted business was owned by
Bowser Bros.
