A Wedding stopped.

On Wednesday,, Dec. 2Sth, 1898, a
maFiage license was granted by
CLERK Tower to Norman B. Lee, of
Th8yerville, a widower, and Mrs EN-
mf McGraw, of Deer Park, a widow.
Anew days after the license had been
GRANTED Lee again appeared at the
clerks office and asked to have the
license changed, stating that McGraw
was not the woman's name but that
IL was Savage, or was Savage prior to
her marriage to one Sherman A.
Roys, and that her husband (Roys)
was still living and the woman refus-
ed to marry him. The clerk refused
to.make the desired change in the Ii
9nse and thereby hangs a tail.
Lee, who is so illiterate that he
cannot write his name, after having
secured the license in the name of
Mrs. McGraw, widow, went to Deer
Park the same day and appeared be-
fore Rev. j. H. Funk, pastor of the
Methodist church of that town, ac-
companied by the woman, and stated
that he wished to be married. The
minister not suspecting anything I'M
usual, proceeded to perform the cere-
mony, using the form adopted by the
church he represented. After the
batquestions had been PROFOUND
ed and the proper answers made the
pastor read the clause relative to any
one having objections why the couple
should not be pronounced husband
and wife, a brother of the woman
rushed into the room and stated to
the pastor and those assembled that
his sister already had one husband
living and that she was the legal
wife Sherman A. Roys, who came to
this county several years ago from
Michigan and here met and married
her, and that she had never been
reparated from him through divorce
or otherwise. The minister decided
that this evidence was all that was
necessary to put a stop to further
proceedings and he therefore very
properly refused to conclude the cere-
mony.
Mrs. McGraw, widow, or Mrs. Roys,
married, states that she separated
from her husband six years ago and
that she has been informed that he
has since died. A report, however,
is current that he was placed in an
asylum by his wife some years ago.
He is remembered by the people of
Oakland as being rather simple mind

At the recent meeting of the Board
OF County Commissioners thev in
structed their attorney to prepare
papers for the purpose of recovering
from H. p. Tasker, special agent.
three books, all property of the coun-
ty, comprising a lot book, with index

These are the same books which Mr.
Tasker prepared at the Land Office
in Annapolis several years ago trans
crlblng into them from the records
there the unassessed and overlooked
lots and tracts of land which were
not places on the tax books of the
county. After the work of TRANSCRIPT
ing the records had been completed
Mr.. Tasker carried the books to the
Commissioners office and demanded
pay for his labor. The Commission
ers refused to received the books or
to pay him the amount of his claim,
which was $4,000. He then instituted
suit in the Circuit Court and recov-
cred judgment against the county
for the full amount, the case being
tried in theWashington county court.
Later the judges sitting in the case
reduced the judgment to s., 800 which
Mr.. Tasker accepted in settlement of
his claim, which was paid him at the
time and a demand made upon him
for the possession of the records.
These he refused to turn over to the
Board and the suit in replevin was
instituted with the result stated
above. Appraisers have placed the
value Of the books at 5000.

TO the Editor of the journal.

TO the Editor of the Journal
We notice in your issue of a recent
date that your GOrtner correspondent
is still in the field and giving away,
as it were, ideas that could not be
bought at any price; but it seems
that this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is
determined to spend his ideas gratu-
itously in order to get them before
the people.
People are becoming more and more
convinced of his phenomenal ability
to detect and correct errors and de-
fects in the management of the pub
lie and private affairs of our state and
its people. Every branch of business
is receiving the most scrutinizing at
tention from this giant minded young
man of the keystone State" few
of which we might mention are: The
Aurora, Oakland and Terra Alta
Telephone Company, the business of
the County Commissioners, supervis-
ors of pablo roads, and lately he has
been giving a great deal of attention
to the public school system, and like
the father of his country in honor of
whom he was named, he cannot lie.
Truth is not seen only in the pro-
duction of his mastery pen" but it
is prominently set forth in his face
and features; in fact his whose coun-
tenance is ablaze with it.
The purity of his character pro-
duces, no doubt that attraction which
is bringing everybody to his feet.
Purity of purpose bedecks his brow
and his every action shows him to be
as wise as he is just. There should
be glittering pennant erected over
his pedigree and on it inscribed "a
man possessed of such towering men
tai faculties, well developed head, i'm
pressive face and features and COM
mandingcOuntenance all so gloriously
crowned by ninbus of luxuriant
hair, can do no wrong.
1t is extremely doubtful whether
his peer can be found on the Ameri-
can continent.
In conclusion, we would just say
the long winter evenings now being
upon us it is with pleasure we read
the wonderful productions of the
mighty and glorious

Weighs 400 and Still Growing.

Harvey Reiff, the famous fat boy,
living at Maugansville, Washington
county, continues to get bigger.
Though only sixteen years old he now
weighs over 400 pounds. He has taken
anti-fat remedies in vain. Indeed, it
seems he gets fatter the more medi-
cine he takes. He spent some time
in museum, but quit the business in
disgust. He has increased the size of
the timber supports under his bed,
and since he uses inch-thick cord for
his bed he does not break through
any more. He goes to Hagerstown
every day to school, but his figure is
so familiar that he attracts attention
only from strangers.

Postal CabIe-TelegraDhC ompany.

One day last week a camp of twenty
or thirty men with all the tools nee
essary for the purpose, crossed over
into this county from Pennsylvania
and commenced the erection of poles
upon which wires for the Postal
Cable-Telegraph Company will be
strung The poles are being erected
along the old National Road through
the northern end of the county and
will pass through Keyser, Grantsville
and on eastward to Frostburg and
Cumberland. We have been in
formed that the line was started at
Pittsburg and the objective points
will be Baltimore and Washington.
An examination of the records at
the Office of the Board of County
Commissioners in Oakland discloses
the fact that no permit was asked
and none granted to this foreign cor
poration to erection and maintain
lines of wires along the public roads
of the county and it is presumed
that like the Western Union Tele-
graph Company they will place poles
where they see fit even in the CEN
tire of the road or upon the bridges
erected at the time the road was built
The Western Union Company planted
large pole in the centre of the
bridge east of Grantsville some years
ago which damaged that structure to
some extent but as no complaint was
laid before the commissioners no ac-
ton was taken by them in the matter.

To the Editor of The Republican
DEAR SIR:-Dr. G. j. Fazenbaker is
looming up as possible or probable
candidate for the Legislature from
District No 1. He is comparatively
young man but he has had a busy
career. He was born in Allegany
county in 1867 and is member of
family that has long been intimately
identified with the history of this
section. He spent his youth on
farm and gained the scant education
afforded by the public schools of his
day. Afterward he engaged in teach
ing as the readiest means of employ
ing his talents, and his knowledge
grew with his years. In manners he
is most democratic and his perfect
simplicity, cordiality and courtesy
makes him most popular among his
friends. He is liberal and independ-
ent thinker. He stands immovable
upon the rock of Independent convic-
5ion and refuses to compromise unless
it becomes a choice of evils. He be-
lieyes that a steady increase in this
independent class is a good omen for
the future as it insures the integrity
of republican form of governments.
Politically he afIitiates with the
Republican party, in whose cam
paigns he takes warm interest.

Last Friday number of men were
engaged with eight horses in moving
Messrs. Offutt & Orcutt's stave mill en-
CINE and boiler from its old location
near Harrington Run to point south
of Oakland on the lands of Mr.. John
L. Bowers. In moving the machin-
cry the bridge spanning Harrington,
about six miles northwest of Oakland
had to be crossed. When in the cen
tire of the structure it suddenly gave
way under the heavy load and grau-
ally sunk to the surface of the water
in which position it still lies. The
drivers of the horses were warned
by the loud crash made by the break
ing timbers and succeeded in getting
the load off the bridge by whipping
up their teams.
A report of the condition Of the
bridge has been made to the County
Commissioners who have given Or
ders to have the bridge rebuilt at
once.
