Baltimore, July 1.-TSe recelvership
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at II o'clock last night and
the property was turned over to the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John X. Cowen
and Oscar G.. Murray were appointed
receivers of the company on February
goth, 1896, by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-equip the railroad
The physical condition was bad its
equipment antiquated and inadequate
10 handle business and its insufiiciency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as large majority agreed to the pro-
vision of enough funds to place the
road in condition to handle its traf-
nc, they obtained permission of the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition of the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
in full of all receivers Indebtedness,
the entire floating debt Of the COM
pany represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and of ali
car trust obligations, enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year of 1899
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without foreclosure, the orig
inal charter of the company remains in
.orce, and the next annual meeting Of
the stockholders will be the 73d. The
aew stock of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be OF great
help to the property and much new
capital has been Invested in the Sc
curities, and there is sutficiency Of
money for still further improvements,
which are in progress, with view to
still further reducing the cost of trans
portaSiOn.

enough first-class talent to equip eight
teams. This is proven by the weak
ness of four and perhaps six of the Ma
tional League clubs. If the new organ
ization should bid for the best players
of the National League and succeed in
getting them, the clubs salary lists
would be SO large and their outlay so
immense that with opposition it would
be out of the question for them to
make a dollar The National League
club owners would have the advan-
taSe of experience and equipment in
such war and with memories of the
Brotherhood's failure in mind, most of
their players would yield to the temp
tation of big cash consideration and
the promise of an increase of salary
and others would take advantage of

games he pitched this season with the
Montreals he won seven and lost two,
one being tie. Twice he shut out his

Base Ball.

The first scheduled game of ball was
played Saturday between Alma College
and picked team from Gratiot and
Isabella counties. Alma made an excel.
lent showing, especially in their batting.
The coaching Of Sweetland is already
taking effect, and the men play with a
snap and vim that is not usual TO
them. Sears and Benedict in battery
work showed up well. The infeld did
splendid work considering the small
amount of practice previous. Alma
has an outfield that is a winner in every
respect Dunning "a college player played
second for the visitors. The visiting
team showed up well, but showed lack
of training in many instances Kinch
pitched fairly good game, but the Alma
batters touched him up for total of
13 hits. Sears held the visitors down to
five hits.
Too much cannot be said of the effect
of Sweetland's coaching on the playing
of the team. The men are in excellent
shape for the game with Mt. Pleasant
tomorrow.
Baxter pitched two innings for the
visitors and showed up well.
The score at the end of the game stood
g to l9 in favor Of the college.

Arbor Day at the College.

Last Friday being Arbor Day the
college suspended all classes in the af
ternoon, and the entire time was taker
up by exercises and tree planting
Early In the afternoon, groups OF
students could be seen making their
way towards the library, where there
were a large number of holes dug.
Here great deal of skirnishing was
done for best places, and the most likely
places was guarded by sentinels placed
there by the different societies and
classes. The irrepressible Freshmen,
still more irrepressible Adelphics, Sc
cured the best places, by putting tables
upon their pits during the forenoon.
There had begun great scramble for
trees, when the college bell rang for the
exercises in the chapel, and all at once
ceased their strife and repaired 10 the
chapel.
The exercises opened with a vocal
solo by Mr.. Beckner accompanied by
Miss Wagner. He sang in his usual
pleasing manner. Prof. Davis gave a
talk about trees and shrubs which
will not soon be forgotten. He brought
to view the necessity of every one TO
take the personal responsibility of OBJ
serving Arbor Day. He said in part,
the people of two or three centuries
back held the oak in great reverence il
always Being the custom 10 hold their
religious services under their branches,
but when our Pilgrim Fathers settled in
our country the tree was something that
must be gotten rid of and therefore they
hewed and chopped every tree in sight.
Often would great forest fires sweep
across the country and not a staying hand
would be offered to swerve it from its
course or quell the flames. So was it
until in recent years when the people
awakened TO this awful calamity which
would come upon us. 1t was then that
commissions were formed and they have
since done everything in power to stop
the waste of trees. Arbor Day was in
stigated, and that time has been OBJ
served by all the colleges and public
schools of our country. 1t is to be hoped
that this day will not alone be observed
by colleges and schools but that our
whole nation as body will turn out TO
keep this day in its fullest interest, by
planting trees everywhere that a spot of
ground can be found not under culiva-
ton.

and was greatly respected by those who
knew her. Her only son preceded her
II years ago, having been killed on the
railroad where he was serving as q
brakeman. Her husband and two
daughters remain to mourn her loss.
"She was a kind wife and loving
mother" is the tribute of those who
know her best, and what words can
mean more. Her body was laid at rest
beside that of her son in the beautiful
little cemetery two miles west of Park
inson church. The funeral was largely
attended by neighbors and friends.

Special to the Register.
Freeport, Ohio, April 13.-The quaint
old village of Freeport, located on the
c., l.. & w. railway, seventeen miles
south Of Uhrichsville, and in the south
west corner of Harrison county, Ohio,
is enjoying an oil boom on small
scale. Hotels are having harvest and
the liveryman's pocketbook grows fat
while his teams grow lean from being
driven through the "hub-deep" mud by
hungry leasers. The unsophisticated
farmer, whose principal knowledge of
oil heretofore was the grease in the
wool Of his high-bred fiocks, is being
bewildered by the glittering PROPOSE
lions offered those who have withstood
the importunings Of the block leasers.
This portion of Harrison county is
quite broken in surface formation and
the old Pennsylvanians on the ground
are attracted by this feature and its
similarity to some of their old-time
fields. 1t is also the center of the area
of the sand rock out-crop, which is
worked by various stone quarries about
the village, and the surrounding rock
ribbed" hills would certainly indicate
that Dame Nature was at least some
what freaky in the formation Of this
territory. These romantic features
seem to be quite encouraging presag-
ers in the minds of wildcat spectators,
as we'll as the fact that this territory
is within the limits of that mysterious
45-degree line from Oil City and Scio.
But probably the strongest incentive
for. the further development OF this
territory is the Rocky Run wells
which were drilled in some two years
ago by a local company, and which
have since amounted to small produce
ers. These wells are about four miles
south of town and the fact that the
Allegheny Oil Company Immediately
began operations in this territory after
their half-million sale in the Scio field,
has lent much additional faith in the
results of further development. Atten-
ton of oil spectators for the next sixty
DAYS will be riveted on the progress of
DEVELOPMENTS in the field and prospect
ing will be noted with much interest
for some time to come.
On Monday drilling began on the
Howes farm, three miles north, by
Pittsburg spectators.
Tuesday Canton capitalists started
the drill on the Matthess farm, two and
one-half miles south of town.
Scio parties have begun a rig on the
Wilson farm, two and one-half miles
northwest of the village.
A rig is Just completed on the Shu-
CART farm. one and one-half miles west
of town, and a well will be started at
once by Wheeling operators.
On the Breen farm, four miles south
west. a rig is begun by Cleveland par
ties.
