the office of the Western Maryland
railroad company in Baltimore with
j. r. Serpell & Co., Louisville, Ky,
for the grading, masonry and ballast
ing upon the Hagerstown and State

railroads. These lines are intended
to form low grade, short line, cut
of for the Western Maryland rail-
road between Hagerstown upon its
main lire and Altenwald upon its
Baltimore & Cumberland Valley
railroad. Serpell & Co. were the
lowest of known responsibility of
thirty contractors who bid.
The contracts call for the compile
ton OF the work by October 81,
while the track-laying, which will be
done by the Western Maryland com.
pany, to be completed soon after.
Arrangements have been made with
strong financial party to take 5
per cent. bonds and 5 per cent. guar
ranteed stock of the new companies
at par to the extent necessary to
defray the cost of the line.
a contract was also made Mon
day by the Western Maryland com.
pany with S. l.. Lampkin, leading
builder of Hagerstown, for the con-
struction of the proposed round
house at that point. This is to in
clude certain necessary shop facili-
ties for the third division of the
road, Which has its headquarters at
Hagerstown, and the work is to be
completed August 81. There were
also a large number of bidders for

FREEDOM THREATENED.
Isthe best-nfact the One True Blood Purifier.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Tells why
America RebelIed Against England.
America rebelled, not because the COL
onies were oppressed, but because their in
habitants were the freest people then in
the world and did not mean to suffer op-
preston. They did not enter upon resist
ance to England to redress intolerable
Grievances, but because they saw policy
adlpted which they rightly believed threat
encd the freedom they possessed. As Burke
said, they judged the pressure of the
grievance by the badness of the principle
and "snuffed he approach of tyranny in
every tainted breeze" They were the
most dangerous people In the world to
meddle with because they were ready to
fight, not to avenge wrongs which indeed
they had not suffered, but to maintain
principles on which their rights and lib
erty rested.
as The English ministry had begun to as
sail those principles. They were making
clumsy and hesitating attempts to take
money from the colonies without leave of
the people, and George in belated way
was trying TO be king and revive an
image of tho dead and gone personal mon
archy of Charles /. Hence came resistance,
very acute in one colony, shared more or
less by all. Hence the congress in Phila-
delphia and the great popular movement
starting as if inevitably in that quiet colo
NAL town among the freest portion of the
liberty loving English race.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in Scribner's.

DEATH FROM SPANISH GUNS.

Oar army and navy cannot be ex-
pected to win all battles, nor TO es-
cape scatheless from every contest.
So, the belching blasts of venomous
Spanish guns have finally succeeded
in suddenly destroying several val
liable lives. A promising young
ensign and four hardy men of the
sea were the victims in brief
though perilous and severe engage
ment in Cuban waters, an account
or which will be found in the news
columns. 1t is risking too much to
send these little wasps and hornets
so close into the dangerous fire of
heavy shore batteries. They have
tried it and escaped so often, that
they grow too yenturesome, and the
result is death. Well, the enemy
will pay dearly for it, but that will
not resuscitate the dead forms, SO
dear to other hearts.

Old Cap. Hatfield, of Mingo coun-

Genera B. D. Spillman, who will
command the West Virginia boys in
the war with Spain, was graduated
from West Point in 1878, and was
Lieutenant of the Seventh Unit
ed States Calvary to September,
1881. On April 18th, 1890, he be-

the Governors staff, and on June
9th, of the same year, was promot-

sufferer can not live.
