FRosTBURG. MD, May II, 1899.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| understand Mayor Nickel says,
with regard to decision of Council not
to take Curry q West wells, that there
Is a niger in the wOOdplle."
There Is something radically wrong
somewhere is certain-So certain that
| am inclined to ask the Mayor very
respectfully few questions:
!, Why did you order Mr.. Curry
here with his drilling machine without
authority of Council?
>, Why did you want to bore at the
reservoir without authority
pay for a well that is probably not
what is wanted that, after the matter
was decided negatively by Council, you
resolved that body into Star Chamber
to reconsider?
t, Why do YOU not patronize the

money in re-ditching Ormand street
after your attorney said the Frostburg
Water company is responsible?
&, You have been understood to say
that your supply from the old water
company costs you nothing why is

The Truth.

With It's characteristic inability to
tell the truth in any matter concerning
the JOURNAL, the Forum says:
The latter (JoURNAL) thinks that all wages
should be guaged by the poorly paid, half
starved miners of the Pocahontas region.
That is lie directly and indirectly,
Immediately and remotely, in expires
sion and by implication.
The JOURNAL stated facts, which the
Forum unguardedly admits, concerning
Pocahontas conditions and wages.
1t did not set these up as ''guage"
for this region, but stated very plainly
that the demand for higher wages
should be first made by the poorly
paid, half-starved miners of the Poca-
hontas region"
For Georges Creek miners to ignore
those conditions in any action they
may take to secure higher wages is to
invite failure.
They may as well strike against
current prices of store goods.
The Forum might as well have moved
out in the street some time ago and
told Mr.. Wittig ii would not move
back again until It's rent was reduced
II per cent.
The JOURNAL states this case with
unaffected regret. So far as the wages
matter affects it, its interests, and its
sympathies, the miners cannot get too much
for their hard Mb0r.
And it tells them now that hereafter
all statements to the contrary are not
only lies, but they are lies known to
be lies when spoken or penned.

COUNTY NEWS.
How it Happened.

In reply to "a Barton Inquirer"
the JOURNAL will state that an unpro-
fesslonal examination of the matter
dlscloses The fact that the Cumber-
land charter was materially amended
by the Legislature Of 1892, and that
during the processes Of amendment
and renewal the projectors, forgetting
that 1t was the city, not the county,
whose system of government they
were renewing, provided that its local
elections should be held under the
general law, and, therefore, the ex-
penses of county officers, mostly resi-
dent in the city, for conducting city
elections should be paid by the county
In 1896 the general election law
Article 33, of the Code-was repealed.
That is, the whole thing practically
went by the board, except the eX-
penses, which were largely increased
The roundup is-since 1892 the
county has paid Cumberland city cleo
ton expenses since 1896 the same ex-
penses have been increased.
Concerning the remaining question
of "A Barton Inquirer" the JOURNAL
thinks he should submit it directly to
the Senators aud Delegates represent
ing this county in 1892 and 1896.

George H. Mccormick Is in jail
charged with criminal assault, at his
house in Cumberland last Saturday,
upon his sster-in-law, Miss Rose Folk,
of this place.
In connection with this matter it
is stated that the waiver was due
mostly to the fear of the county
officials in Cumberland that, if brought
here for the usual preliminary hearing,
Mccormick would be lynched.
a very poor compliment was thus
paid the lawabidlng repute of Frost
burg people.
He would have been as safe from
molestation here as anywhere in the
United states. a very great many
more people would have joined in
precentiHg a lynching than could have
been mustered into IA mob with violent
intent.

Died

The many Frostburg friends of Mrs.
May Gurley, nee Gunter, wife of I. W.
Gurley, of Meyersdale, Pa. were pain
ed Monday to hear of her death at her
home, that place, Sunday, aged about
80 years. Until about four years ago
she was known here as Miss May"
only daughter of Samuel Gunter. Her
mother, dying during Mays infancy,
she was reared by her uncle and aunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Gunter. In June,
1898, she was married to 7. W. Gurley,
the couple making their home at Mey-
ersdale. There, as here, her life was a
model of gentleness and goodness. On
the 18th inst. her second babe was born,
all going we'll until the Monday fol-
lowing when an unfavorable turn was
observed. She gradually failed until
death ensued as stated. The remains,
accompanied by many Meyersdale
friends, reached here on special train
Tuesday afternoon. After services in
the Presbyterian church they were laid
in Allegany cemetery, a host of old
home friends attending. Other evil
dences of the esteem in which Mrs.
Gurley was held were manifest in nu-

Mr.. Gurley requests the JOURNAL to
return his heartfelt thanks. Mr.. Cur
ley and two infant daughters are be-
reft of devoted wife and mother.
7. Blair McCulloh, wellknown here
as a native and longtime resident,
died at his home in Cumberland Thurs
day evening, May Is, 1899, aged about
% years. He had been i'll several
years of nervous disorder. He was
Il son of the late George McCulloh !;
several years assistant postmaster Of
this place; several years a railway
postal distributor on the C. Il p. R.,
and for % years held same position on
the b. Il o. between Baltimore and
Grafton. Five brothers and one sis
ter survive. He was unmarried. In
terment will take place here this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, probably under the
aus spices of Mountain Lodge, No. 80,
A., f. and a. NJ. His life, mostly
official, was one of constant and con-
sistent fidelity to his trust.

FRosrBURG, Mp, May II, 1899.
70 the MINING JOURNAL.
Hospitality is one of the greatest
virtues that have aided in the civil
ization of the race, and the human
breast that does not throb with Its
generous pulsatiOns is not among or
should be classed among the living.
But will the JOURNAL kindly explain
what species of hospitality is it that
halls a few wayfarers on their way
home from Georgia, after being muster
ed out OF military service, and goes
into ecstacies over devising means to
entertain and aid them, whereas not
even candle was lighted to welcome
the return of our own volunteers
Were not the brave young men of
Frostburg, who volunteered to drive
the butchering Spaniard from Cuba as
ready to offer their lives in the name
Of American humanity as these
strangers who happened to pass
through the town on their way home ,
And did anyone make an effort to show
even glad welcome in any substan-
tlal, public way to our own volunteers
upon their return ? What of our own
hero who fell on San Juan hill and
who returned upon his crutches, from
which he fell into the arms OF his
mother? Did anyone show great
sympathy for him as II returning sol
der and, that, TOO, with raw wound
from Spanish bullet Was anything
done to get up "beneft" for the sol
der that was not only for but of us.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
| read your interview with Mr.
Amman last week with great interest
1t is very satisfactory in every way
except that one important element Of
the situation was left out.
That | need hardly say is the new
cOmpany's attitude toward the pro-
visions of the tive-year contract.
Mr.. Amman says his company eX-
poets to be able to reduce the price of
light to a fair, even rate. Does this
include the five year contract price OF
arcs and incandescents which, it will
be remembered, are not competitive.
but rates legied on the town like taxes
on the people.
The subject becomes more interest
ing after reading late statement OF re-
suits IN Cumberland, where lS6 twelve
hundred candle-power ares cost per
arc $3.50 per dnHum, or less than half
Frostburg Is paying for a Secuted 1000
candle-power arc.
Now, if ratio counts for anything in
electric calculations, a 1000 candle
power arc in Cumberland ought not to
cost over sos per year, or $l4 less than
our year contract price.
This would mean a saving to us of
about $500 per- annum.'
In view of this conclusion, do you
think the combination or "ruSt' will
disregard the 3 year contract rate and
leave the $500 in town treasury for
streets. or will it continue to pocket
that sum ?

The writer in the Homecoming Reoie,0
who assumes TO give lessons in law to
the JOURNAL seems to be as poverty
struck IN his knowledge of Scripture
as of 1.-The statoots.n He says
The JOURNALS cry, Macedonian-lke, goes
up in holy horror, etc.
"The Macedonian cry was not one
of "holy horror" 1t was a plaintive
appeal for help-not a gasp OF fright
at ''the audacity and arrogance" of
anybody-in a case wherein neither
MARYLAND nor West Virginia fits the
position given "Macedonia."
But, concerning 'injunctions,' the
RegieU wants to know
How about 1894 in this region when on
every hand men were sent to jail for partlci-
pating in the suspension in order to further
the interests of few big mining corpora
tons? Wasn't that government by in
junction ?" Wasn't this system of govern
ment working overtime in Allegany county
without one word of protest from the JOUR
citizens who were neither polluting streams
nor violating laws, cast into Jail through
the process ofiniunction which was apparent
ly countenanced by that paper
Like the Macedonian figure-that
is not truthfully stated.
Nobody was 'sent to Jail for particl-
pating in the SUSPENSION
There is not in the world a civilized
court that would issue an injunction
against man for participating in
SUSPENSION In saying that inJunc-
tions were so issued here the Rerter
impeaches the Circuit Court of ALE
gany county
There were some "peaceable citizens
who were neither pOllutlng streams
nor''-who wanted to continue work,
but whose right not to "particlpate IN
the suspension" was both denied,
threatened and menaced.
Some of the gentlemen who partlcl
pated in these exercises We're enJoined,
the Court holding very explicitly that
the right to work is as unassailable as
the right not to work.
That is settled.
Asst consistency Reciec, which,
it is presumed, then opposed the in
functions iuasmuch as it seems to con
denim them now, the very next year
supported Lowndes for governor, in
spite of Quay's labor champion, James
A. Wright, loaned to German to ''cOme
here and ring the injunction and
military power changes on LOwndes
until he can't rest
And, although the governors com
plicity in the matter Of having the
troops brought here to establish be
You'd all peradventure the right Of men
to cork has never been made trans
parent, the ReeieW will again support
him. That is, it will condemn him
when it speaks of 1894, and glorify
him when it writes Of 1898.
Finally-there were Macedonian
cries. in 1S94-so loud that they
brought several hundred people from
West Virginia and Pennsylvania into
this State to dispute Maryland's right
to protect those Of its people who did
not want TO participate in the sus
pension"
Hence, the military-more from this
cause than any other, came to see that
the right sort Of injunction should
prevail.
From this it is hoped the Recjeo
will learn that the virtue of an in
junction consists wholly in its purpose.
If the purpose be to protect the right
of people to work it is infallibly good.
If it be to destroy base for employ
ment of working people in order to
favor reproductive sports, it is not
good.
