REPORTING as is reporting may be seen in
last Saturdays Frederick NenS. BY it we
learn that the Monocacy Valley Railroad
connects with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
In similar manner it connects with the
Canada Southern and Mexican Central. The
report sets forth the fact that "the lines of
railroad for hand cars, used to convey the
ore through the mountain to the furnace, (at
Catoctn) are all being torn up" The adl,cs
are ours.
Query: In which does the aboye lack most;
syntaX or correct information?
We disagree with our Washington Cores
pondent who says that in case England be-
C. mes involved in an European war that the
people of this country will iorce our govern
ment into an alliance with her. We believe
there would be great difficulty in keeping
out of such war, but it would not be the
people who would force the issue; it would
be the politicians and the army and navy Of
fcers, who would see therein an opportunity
to become Schleys and Deweys. AS for the
people, the one foreign war that we have on
hand fully sutices for them.
CAToCTIN REDIvIvUs.-Wo has begun
in earnest at Catoctin Furnace. The Blue
Mountain Iron and Steel Company's super
intcndent L. r. Waesche, has now upwards
of fifty men employed. The work consists
largely at present in preparing to renew the
stock house; erecting the foundation for a
large, new ore washer, re arranging railroad
tracks and preparing the new entrance to
the mines. 1t is, even now, busy centre,
but is only an earnest Of what will prevail
there once the preliminary work is done
and the work of rebuilding and re opening
of mines completed,
DhAl II OohN -Ou
day last, Mr.. John Fraley, well known to all
the people of this section, died at his home
in this place. He had been declining in
health for some months, but his last illness
was Of the duration Of day. Mr.. Fraley
had been conducting the livery business here
for q number of years and was probably
better qualified to give intelligent care and
attention to horses than any man in this
section.
A widow and five children survive him
He was in his list year. The funeral was
held on Wednesday; interment in the U. B.
cemetery. Mr.. f. E. Black was funera
director.
A BONANZA Report comes to us that de
vclopmcnts on the Arnold X. Wilhide prop
eriy, purchased oy the copper mining syn
dicate, have resulted 10 placing an estimated
minimum value Of $4,000 on the property
Just what has been found we do not know
but from statements that we have heard mad,
other than copper has been .ound in paying
quantities.
Mr.. Wilhldes property, outside of its un
developed mineral deposit was worth from
$500 to $500; he sold it for $7000-a yer,
good thing for Mr. Wilhde and ifit is wortl
to the purchasers $50 900, it proved to be
very much better thing for them.
County Surveyor Abaugh is at present en-
gagged Ill making surveys ofthe several prop
crtiee purchased by the mining syndicate.
