Arrested Here.

Some excitement was occasiOned
last Saturday by the arrest of tall,
stout colored man, named George Belt,
of unioutown, Pa.
The off GERS, Alex. McBeth, detective,
and j. W. Murphy, of that place, had
been after him for week, getting first
on his trail at Salisbury, Pa. Reach
ing here, they communicated to bailff
Bowen their mission and asked for his
cooperation, which was promptly ren-
dered. Bowen had noticed the fellow
and knew he could not be far away.
SO the three set off down the pike and
soon had the satisfaction of seeing
Belt ahead, moving in hght-marching
order. Finding he was pursued, Belt
jumped fence and made for the
woods. Hearing bullet whistle close
by, he turned and, ':plunk - the next
one, striking on the right side, tore
through his upper lip. He threw up
his arms IN token of surrender and was
brought back to town.
While III the lookup he spoke of
having accidentally shot his wife, in
the head on the night of the l4th inst,
while handling a revolver, and, fear
ing ne ndu hlileu ner, ran away, lie
spoke tenderly of her, saying, among
other things, that ''she is as good Il
woman as ever lived"
The officers, on the other hand,
stated that he fired the shot in a fit of
jealousy, and that she is mortally
injured.
He went willingly with the officers to
Uniontown, leaving here on the 7:0S
p. m. train.
A more pitiful- looking creature has
never been seen here.

This club claims that it can throw

from Oldtown to Never Seen and be-

5000 per game, or series of games.
1t also claims that under the expert,
reliable and generous management of
owen Dando, the people will obtain
more skill and amusement for their
money this season than for many a

In other words, the club proposes
to be a power on the diamond,

An ImDUrtant Matter.

There has been considerable i'm
provement in town architecture with
III the last few years and there O CHIT
to be more. Instead of going to build
ers and asking for an estimate for "a
two-story. eight-room house, and
getting a copy of the house that has
been built here for generation with
out alteration, abbreviation. not to say
exaggeratlon, people should seek an
architect and obtain more and better
eonveniences, and prettier appear
ances. There is more or less unavoid-
able likeness between cooking stoves,
ETC., but no one wants a house exactly
like some neighbours house, especially
like dozen neighhors' houses.
These observations are placed in
print for the benefit of both future
builders and the town, and incidental
ly to call general attention TO the fact
that a firstclass architect is not farther
away than Cumberland-John S.
Siebert. This gentleman does a grea,
deal of pretty work down there, and
his card in the JOURNAL is an unmis-
taxable invitation to Frostburg people
to call on or write to him for far better
attention to their wishes than they can
otherwise obtain.

4 Beautiful IMPROVEMENT.

Quite all the wealth of the art of
fresco has been lavished upon the
walls and ceiling of the English Luth
eran church auditorium. Both figures
and colors are very pretty and, what
is better, in entire harmony with the
character and size of the room.
A bright new Brussels carpet covers
the tioor-said to be the only church
Brussels in the county; the pews,
freshly polished and vanished, and
the 13 beautiful memorial windows,
leave nothing to be desired as an i'm
provement, save, perhaps, a new chan
deier.
Tomorrow Sunday this practically
new place of worship will be re-opened
to the accustomed congregation, be-
sides whom a large visitation of other
christian people is expected. Rev. S.
W. Owen, ID. D., of Hagerstown, Md,
an eminent minister of the church,
will preach at both services, and thus
add largely to the interest Of an occa-
sion for pleasure on the part of those
instrumental in achieving the i'm
provement.

A dispatch to the Baltimore SIN from

There is a movement on foot to have the
town furnish its own electric lights. AT

eral members of the council assert that by
owning plant and operating it to furnish
the town and citizens light clear profit of
81, 900 can be made, thus saving over $4,000
to the taxpayers.
Just what sort of lesson to draw
from that is a puzzle.

may work all right.

"COlumbia and Cuba"

The following poem, written by
Brooke Hunter, of Hyattsville, this
State, was read at the State Normal
School Easter entertainment, Balti-
more, by Miss Nora M. Wagner,
daughter of Henry W. Wagner, of this
place. Miss Morals rendition won
great applause from her auditors and
complimentary mention in the papers
Columbia shall Cuba be
Cypress and ca in vain to thee?
Wilt thou, the Land Of Liberty"
Be deaf to her appeal?
Shall babes and mothers there be slain
And patriots forced to yield to Spain,
When thou canst break the tyrant's chain
With thy strong arm of steel3
Wilt thou allow her land to bleed,
And be prey to Spanish greed
When thou canst stop each tiendish deed
That Weyler's soldiers do?
Thou who didst give us Washington,
Whose flashing sword our freedom won,
Arouse, for something must be done
To aid the brave and true!
The cause for which heroes fight
Is sacred. for their cause is right
Shall they be crush'd by Spanish might
And thou inditf7 rent be-
Remember France did give thee aid
men England qua thy SOIL invade,
Now show that thou art not afraid
To help them to be free?
Hast thou forgot that Spaniards slew,
Like dogs, the bold "Virginius' crew,
And shall they Cuba's sons subdue
Ere thou wilt lift thy hand?
Shall crimes be unreL uked by thee?
Shall thy own subjects slaughtered be?
And must this brutal butchery
Still curse fair Cubas land?
Oh thou Republic, strong and great,
Why shouldst thou longer hesitate
To settle struggling Cuba's fate.
Whose foes are mean and vile?
Brave Maceo, betrayed and slain,
Procalms the cowardice of Spain,
And thou shouldst stop her cruel reign
In Cuba'S Suff ring isle?

\ Suspicious Find.

A silver-plated casket handle was
found Wednesday morning on Maple
street in front of l.. J. Parker's resi-
dence. 1t is slightly rusted but other
wise well preserved, indicating that it
had not been long underground. Evil
dences that it had very lately been
wrenched from a casket are seen in
the fresh breaks. Taken to Frostburg
undertakers, both pronounced it as
one never used here. The family
heard a team pass about "a. M, an
unusual occurrence, and now believed
to have some connection with a grave

bing will not be suppressed in jackson
