NEWS FROM HAGERSToWN
New Railroad Enterprise Curfew
Law Agitation-Pitzer Contest

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
HAGERSTOWN, November H. 1895
HagerstowH is soon to have additional
railroad facilities between the east and
west. The building OF a short line on the
Western Maryland railroad between Alten-
wald and Hagerstown now in course of
construction. will be completed early in
April, when through trains between New
York and Chicago will be put on. The SER
vice will be from New York to Allentown
via the Central of New Jersey; thence to
Shippensburg by the way of the Reading:
to Hagerstown and Cherry Run via the
Western Maryland, and thence to Pitts
burg and Chicago by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
The question of the adoption of a cur
few law, proposed and urged by portion
OF the ministry, has stirred Hagerstown
to Its very foundations. 1t is the subject
of conversation on the street corners in the
hotels and stores, and even the family cir
cles. The columns of the local papers are
crowded with communications for and
against the measure. One of the daily
journals published a coupon TO be voted.
while another enterprising journal has
made d partial canvass of the voting popu-
lauon and claims a large majority for the
measure. This is not conceded and is
backed by the fact that four of the five
city council have expressed themselves as
against its adoption. Those favorable to
tlle Id" DdSt IItlr support upon the
grounds of morality while its opponents
are made up largely of the progressive citi-
zens-those who have Jealous eye on and
great pride in Hagerstown's rapid stride
forward. These claim it is a step backward
to the middle ages. and is opposed to the
policy of our free institutions and the per-
sonal liberties of the citizens
A strange fatality seems to follow the

wIsCoNsIN's LUMBER OUTPUT.
Climatic Conditions Affected by the
Denudation of the Forests.
From the PhIladelphta Times


DenudatiOn of the Forests.
From the Philadelphia Times.
According to a report written by Filbert
Roth, special agent of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the state of
Wisconsin, with a population of about q.
100000 and taxable property to the amount
of $500, 0,0O0,O00. has a home consumption of
over 6OOOOO,oO0 feet of lumber annually.
besides enormous quantities of other wood
material. which if imported into the state,
would cost the state over S25, 100000. OF its
northern half. land surface of over 49,
100000 acres, only per cent is cultiva ted.
the rest forming one continuous body of
forest and waste land. From this area
there have been cut during the last sixty
years more than 1900, 600 feet of pine
lumber alone, and the annual output for
the past ten years has exceeded 3. 900 900 900
feet every year.
The industries exploiting this resource
represented in 1890 one-sixth of the total
taxable property in the state, paid to over
5000 men the sum of s15,o00.000 in wages
and the value of their products was equal
to more than one-third of the entire output
OF the agricultural regions. OF an origi-
nal stand of about 130, ,0OO, 000, 900 feet of
pine about 17,O000O0.0OO feet are left, be-
sides 12OOO, 100000 feet of hemlock and 49,
000,0O0,0O0 feet of hard wood
The annual growth, which at present
amounts to about 9O0000,000 feet, and of
which only 250. 100000 feet is marketable,
Is largely overbalanced by the natural de-
cay of old and over-ripe timber
At present nothing is being done either to
protect or to restore the denuded lands of
which fully so per cent are unproductive
This policy causes continuous and ever
growing loss to the commonwealth which
at present amounts to about 800 600 900 feet
every year of useful and much-needed ma
terial A further result Is that the spolia-
ton of these forests Is making a marked
change in the natural climatic condition
and is operating injuriously on the amount
of rainfall the state should receive
To remedy this condition Mr.. Roth Is of
opinion that stringent legislation will have
to be Immediately adopted, and measures
framed to preserve and restock. He con-
cludes his report by saying that in his
opinion, 1t will be necessary for the state
TO repossess itself of these lands, either In
whole or In great part.

Suicide is Dangerous.

tried it his leg. About two weeks ago John
Reinhoei turned on the gas In his bed

attacked his right leg, and that member
had to be amputated. The doctors discov-
cred that the immediate cause of the gan
creme was a clOt of blood which had form

action was weakest. When the hearts ac-
tion became normal the clot was forced
through the arteries until It lodged in the
smaller arteries of the leg. The circulation
of the blood was thus cut OF below it. and

The interest in shooting this season is
little less than remarkable, considering the
almost total lack of it during the past six
or seven years. This was due to the fact
that quail became very scarce IN this part
of the country, and even in the states OF
North and South Carolina the supply was
rather limited. The close season in Vir-
ginia for two years, which expired Novem-
Der !, resulted in the restocking of the
coverts there, and in Maryland the impor-
tation of quail from the west for breeding
purposes which was very general in nearby
localities last year and the year before has
been attended with much success, and
birds are plentiful row where they were en-
tirely wanting before. The aroused lfveli-
ness among sportsmen is therefore founded
upon well-established conditions, and now
that colder weather is assured and the
quail have been shot at sufficiently to make
them lie well to dog the stubbIes will he
easier to navigate: the woods and thickets
will have less verdure to obstruct the view
when single birds have scattered through
them, and hunters and dogs alike will be
able to better withstand the work before
them.
Good Dogs in Demand
There are plenty Of hunters, but good
dogs are .carce. This latter condition is
due to the diminution of the quail population
in recent years. Men who loved the sport
lest interest in it and at the same time
decided not TO take the trouble of secur-
ing dogs and properly breaking them

washington, Sept 27.-The officials
here are watching with interest the
progress being made by the military
commission at Havana in securing the
evacuation of Cuba. The commission
has been very slow in making reports
to the war department, but from the
latest received it appears that the
body would like to have more definite
Instructions as to procedure. 1t seems
that the Spanish side has said that it
could not begin the evacuation of the
island until the first Of November, and
that It could not be completed before
the 2Sth of February next.
In view of the alarming state Of the
Cubans, who are suffering from hun
ger and the inability in the present I'M
certain conditions for obtaining work,
the president has decided that he could
not assent to the consumption of so
much time, therefore he caused the
commission to be instructed to demand
that the evacuation by the Spa1iards
begin not later than Oct. Is and that
it be completed by Dec. 81 next. What
the result of this demand will be is
not yet known, but it is said the adj
ministratiOn is determined to tolerate
no dilatory tactics on the part of the
Spanish forces in leaving the island,
although disposed to permit reasonable
Indulgence.
Notice has also been taken of the ex-
pressed purpose of the Spanish captain
general to remove from the island the
remains of Christopher Columbus,
with part of the surmounting monu-
ment. If a monument is not a perma-
nent fixture, then it is hard to decide
what is. and it Il possible that atten-
ton will be called to the infraction of
the terms Of the protocol. although this
must be done with haste, in order to
succeed in its object, as the removal is
said to be fixed Tor next Tuesday.
