Readers of the Register will be in

inal. of Moundsville, is interested with
one or two other parties in securing a
franchise for an electric line to be
built from Cumberland, Md, to West
ernport, a distance of about thirty
miles. The past week the matter has
been before the commissioners at Cum
berland and all the facts in the case
We're presented. The steam roads in
the vicinity are against the move, and
had able counsel present and even pre-
sented 1000 names against the new
line. Mr. churchman's side. however.

however, but will in the near future.
Since the line has been talked Of the
Georges Creek road has put on Sun
day trains, which were never run be-
fore, thus giving a better service. If
the franchise is granted the promoters
of the electric line will commence work
at once and will use the county road
between the two points and will give
much cheaper rates.

HEAVY BUSINESS.

During the past week or so freight
business on the Baltimore and Ohio has
been quite large, and the men are max
ing excellent time The freight hauled
is principally coal and provisions, and
it is said the most of it is transported
to the South. One train yesterday had
about six sections, and the same rule
applys to nearly all the regular trans.
The B. & O.@looks out for herself and
in the freight line generally get all the
business she can handle. This also
shows that the commercial agents are
up to date and do plenty Of hard hust-
ling.

that had Mr.. Phillips been sincere in his

have supported the Atkinson bill. AS
Mr.. Phillips did vote in favor of the

Our friends. the Democrats, are
worrying in a killing manner about the
money Governor Pingree has expended
to place Michigan troops in the field,
and to care for them when sick and
weary. No conscientious American
citizen will worry about one cent of
this expenditure. Nothing is too good
for the boys who stOrmed the Spanish
fortificationS. or those who were
anxious to do so but did not have q
chance. But after all it is a small
thing to worry about. as the National
Government will reimburse the State
for most Of this expenditure. a

From the New York Press.
 The clergymen from whom a Chicago religious paper has collected series or denunciations of the army canteen are all grown men, presumably educated men and doubtless in some cases learned men. Being such men, the question arises as to whether they are sincere men. For every educated man and every intelligent grown man knows that the institution of the canteen is the most substantial reform in army life since the abolition of the whipping post And every such man knows why because it is the substitute for the sutler wagon, that swindle on the soldiers, and, we regret to add, that scandal on at least one of the generals, of the civil war.
 It is a matter of sincere regret in the lay world that so large a number of person. ages in the religious world should have been been guilty of such a suppression of the truth as this discussion of the canteen without the least regard 10 the conditions or drunkenness eXtortion and corruption which preceded, and, as measure of army reform. created the canteen. It Is a patent fact. known of all men who care to inquire, that the drunkenness has been mitigated, the extortion and corruption extinguished, ,y
