Military Movements.

Saturday evening last "the Frost
burg Volunteers" amid great en-
thusiasm. elected officers for the com
pany as follows:
Captab,-,John X. Wimbrough.
First LieuteHdnt-Cyru q. Eaves
.Second " Wesley Schoteld.
The Volunteers" are very patriotic
and anxious to go to the front.
Capt. Wimbrough went to Baltimore
Sunday and returned Wednesday,
greatly encouraged. At Annapolis
Monday he met Adjutant-General Will
mer, who told him the Maryland quota
had not been fixed yet, nor had he
been authorized to accept any sep
arate volunteer companies, but to go
ahead and drill the men, as the pros
poets were very good for acceptance.
Capt. Wimbrough began drilling the
men Thursday evening on the Beall
High School grounds.
He is very much pleased with the
class of men he has secured, and is
confident that should they see active
service Frostburg will be proud Of
them.
Capt f. f. Folk and Lient. W. A.
Skidmore will open recruiting Office
this evening for the enlistment Of a
company which they hope to have
ready soon enough to get in Maryland's
quota of the second call.

TOWN AND VICINITY
The True Status

'Mountalneer, writing from Frost
burg to the Cumberland NeUs May |.
says:
In connection with your favorable remarks
this morning concerning the probable estab-
lishment at this place of State Normal School
No. =, you state:
The Legislature rejected bill providing for
such Il school, but afterthc general appropria-
ton bill had been passed it was found that it
contained an appropriation of $4,000 for that
purpose.
This is wholly incorrect The Legislature
did not reject the 'bill providing for such
school" On the contrary, the bill passed
the House, obtained excellent position on
the Senate file and enjoyed fair chance to
pass that body.
The pressure of paramount business was
very heavy, however. Its friends got to-
gether and, 'to make assurance doublV sure, ~
without abandoning the bill. they compressed
1t into a provision of the general apprOpria-
ton bill, got it inserted and passed along
with all the other appropriations.
One more word:
If the Attorney General, as you indicate,
lis Of opinion that as the appropriation is in
the clause relating to schools the difficulty
can be overcome by paying the sum to the
State Board of Education that opinion is in
exact accord with the design Of the trainers
and projectors of the proposition and with
the wishes of the people of FrOStburg. No
body here ever wanted to handle the money,
and nobody wants to handle it now. The
popular wish is that the State Board of
Education shall use every cent of it in the
erection OF a model modern Normal School
building, and the subsequent appropriations

Case Quite i'm Point.


The Raleigh On. c. Neocs and Or
sercer reports synopsis of ID decision
filed last week by the Supreme Court
of North Carolina which pretty nearly
fits a situation in Frostburg.
The case is entitled Thrift rs. Eliza
beth City, in the decision of which it
is held
that il is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
for any TOWN or city to bargain to
any ,cdter, LIGHT or transportation,
company the LUSITE right to
operate any Of those franchises FOR
A TERM OF YEARS.
The evident difference between Ellz-
abeth city and Frostburg is
Elizabeth city gave a franchise to
some corporation for a term of years,
barring out the admission of all
others.
Frostburg gave franchise to a cor
poration to furnish light for the town
for the term of five years to the ex-
cluson of company already on the
ground.
The latter case is worse than the
former.
But the decision, specific as it is IN
prohibiting municipal award of Tex
elusive rights is yet more intolerant
of such awards '..tor a term Of years :"
1t is the ''long contract" idea that
the court is after.
For the ''long contract which es-
tablishes monopoly among existing
corporations is more odious, If pos
sible, than the one which prevents the
formation of other corporations for
competitive purposes.
1t is probably not too late for some
citizen to move toward abrogating by
injunction the long contract which
practically mortgages the town Of
Frostburg to the electric light com
pany for five years.
But it cannot be delayed much long
err, or the court may say-''you slept
too long on your rights
Several hundred people in the
suburbs, now exempt, have the nerve
to test an attempt to bring them under
electric light dominion.
For the aniaus of the scheme to eX-
tend corporate limits is to find about
ten more Charles James Fox Bird To-
, cations for arc lights.
Is there not one man inside who
will lead Il movement toward emanci-
patton ,

To the MINING JOURNAL.
ApropQs Of the docking system"
which you so thoroughly, clearly and
fairly treated last week. a good story
told of the late C. NJ. Graham, seems
to throw an additional x-ray illustra-
ton of the subject on the canvas.
Mr.. Graham was asked by Il debtor
to .:throW the interest off" a note due,
and the latter expatiated earnestly
about ''the imposition Of charging in
terest," an idea, by the way, II, that
time generally entertained, that it was
not only sinful but outrageous to charge
interest.
Mr.. Graham replied
MY dear s,s-it is not the interest we want.
What we want is ne AtiBD!AN.
If, therefore, you don't want 10 pag inter

So with "docking"-you can stop it
instantly by sending clean coal to

doubt, receive and enjoy'the undying
gratitude of the companies.

A Long career,

At the age of l2years, early in 1857,
Thomas G.. Porter entered the store of
+. A. Mason q Co.. at Borden mine,
later changed to j. NJ. Standsh & Co.
In 1862 he came with the store to
town, occupying one of the Wineland
buildings, and about 1877 again moved
to the new building erected by Beall
Baush and Co., the present and last
name of the firm. From the most
humble position in its employment he
rose to the highest, the whole period
covering the long stretch of ! years
a record that furnishes a certificate to
his capacity and probity unusual in
business history. The best years of his
life are gone, yet, although but little
past his prime, good years for useful
ness remain, and the JOURNAL hopes
they will be both enjoyable and profit
able.

crowded with pathetic memories of
