krOstburg Light.

The FrOStburg Illuminating and
Manufacturing company received this
week very handsome and powerful
engine from the Amos Iron Works, of
Oswego, n. Y, which will take the
place of one Of the small engines now in
use at its electric light station.
The engine is center-crank high
speed automatic, with two driving
wheels, each rs inches in diameter
200 horsepower, and weighs over II
tons.
The company has also on the way
two l,OO0-light dynamOs, made by the
Fort Wayne Qnd.) Electric Works,
which will take the place of the GOO
and 3OO-light machines now in use.
When all this machinery is in place,
the company will have two separate
electric light plants, each capable of
supplying the town in event of one or
the other failing. Each plant has
nearly twice the capacity and power
of that now in use.
The Frostburg Gas and Electric
Light company has been merged into
this company ; its machinery has been
Overhauled and put in tirstclass shape.
Considerable new machinery has also
been added. Owing to these very
material Improvements and additions
most probably, the quality of the gas
has beer very much enhanced in
strength, as the JOURNAL, whose
presses are propelled by IA gas engine,
can attest.
The Office of the combined compa-
MES is at the Electric Station, eastern
end of town. The president, Marx
Wineland, and treasurer, r. Amman,
are both connected with the two plants
by telephone, as also with superin-
tendent Thomas j. Prices residence,
so that any wants made known to
these parties may receive prompt at
tention.
The combined plants are being re-
modelled and refitted and being put in
modern and tirstclass shape, and
when the work is finally accomplish
ed.' say the company, "Frostburg
will have light second to none in the
State"
In this connection it may be stated
that it is to be doubted whether any
place anywhere uses gas so rich IN
Illuminating and motive strength as
in Frostburg.

and Webster, of the state board of
mediation and arbitration. Mr.. Par
sons said:
Everybody knows that do not like
strikes. They are not pleasant, and
Furthermore they arc expensive. But
this strike was one that could not be
averted. The first twenty-four hours
OF strike neither wins nor loses It,
and we are satisfied with the showing
that We have made. There Will be
fewer cars tomorrow than there were
to-day. Tho cars are how manned
by inspectors, and the men who re-
mained. They are making Il showing,
but 1t Is Il bad one
II think tomorrow will see para
lyZed condition OF traffic that will
make the people OF Brooklyn realize
the strike Is strong enough to speak
for itself. They are running no cars
in tho suburbs. and are making all
the showing they can In the city"
Asked about the story that the road
had lot OF new men to take the
places Of the strikers, Mr.. Parsons
said he knew nothing OF that.

cheaper to add few dollars to the
pay roll than to keep paying claims

and financial support Of the OrganIZa-

TROUBLES

Heroic Measures.

Bpeci0l DlHpAtcn 10 LnO 4ukeHIBSHCeE'
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 10
Governor Atkinson is of the opinion to-
night that Sheriff Keadle. OF Mingo
county, has succeeded In getting
guards away with murderer Dudley,
whom u mob attempted to get poses
sion OF at Williamson last night
The governor Is of this opinion from
the fact that he has not received any
word from Sheriff Keadle bearing on
the situation since o'clock this morn
ing ,rt which hour the sheriff wired
that the mob was dispensing and all
was quiet. The governor, Acting Ad-
1utant General Casteel and General
Curtin, brlgadier commander Of the
national guard, remained in consulta-
ton until o'clock this morning. Had
troops been ordered out General Curtin
would have accompanied them.
This evening the governor received a
telegram from Sheriff Keadle stating
that William McNeIll. n prominent cIti-
zen Of Thacker had died from wounds
received In shooting ARRAY there last
night. In his messages last night
Sheriff Keadle stated that this shoot
ing. although McNeill was not yet dead,
had added to the excitement. The kill
ing of Mcneil makes three murders in
Mingo county, two of them at Thacker
and the third a few miles away, with
In two weeks.
The governor tonight expressed the
opinion that the frequency Of murder
in Mingo county is due to the general
habit OF carrying weapons. He has In
structed Judge DoolIttle, OF the MIngo
circuit, to resort to every severity Of
the law to break up the practice.
