ing an opportunity to be ferried out
to the gunboat Nashville, anchored in
mid-stream. The privilege of trans
portation had been granted to but one
ferry company in order that the Nash
vile might not be over-crowded. This
ccmpany's wharf boat was jammed.
At noon the jam increased. Suddenly
a small child was pushed off the
wharf into the river Instantly a po-
hceman followed, and as the water
was shallow the child was soon res

caused a panic and several men were

THE BUFFALO STRIKE.

Soon he ERected.
Buffalo, N. Y, May 13.-The meeting
Of the advisory committee Of ten, of
which Bishop Quigley is the chairman,
which was to have taken place last
night at the bishops residence to con-
slider the grain shovelers' strike, was
postponed until 10 O'Clock this morn
ing owing to the illness of two men,
bers Of the committee, ex-Congressman
Mahaney and President Mcmahon, Of
the grain shovelers' union. It was
generally expected that a plan would
have been formulated by which a
reconciliation between the scoopers and
the Lake Carriers association could be
effected, and. the delay has proved
big disappointment to those who are
working for settlement of the trouble.
The strikers have steadfastly asserted
that they would not agree to any terms
or concessions made by the employers
except they were accompanied by an
absolute wiping out Of the contract
system. On good authority it is stated
that the scoopers must concede some
thing, and it is not only possible, but
very probable that they will agree to
accept the terms offered by the Lake
Carriers association.

dreds of them. They blocked the roads to such
an extent that in many instances wagons and
teams had to turn out and 20 through the
fields.
The winter that followed that autumn of

Hartford and Springfield made its trips all

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
1.-THE Real Cause"

RoSlbl lhb NV lS'J.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
An article. signed "Colfax," appear
ed in the Forum Of last week under the
heading of THE Real Cause
"ColfaX' may mean well by this eff
fort, but feel safe in saying he has
either missed his calling or wrote the
article from the memories of a dream
In the fist place, the people who
are talking of The Real Cause" know
what they are talking about. They
know how it happened, and who is the
cause Of it. They are like the man
who fell off the scaffold they are
blaming the man who built it,
The real cause is-the people who
carried their districts at the primaries
and did not have brains enough to get
their candidate on the ticket, were, as
the boys at play, when they could not
have 1t their way-said 1--WE will not
play"
In other words. had the faction
which was defeated at the convention
worked for the ticket as they expected
their opponents to work for them if
they had won, Allegany county would
have given the republican party a
majority that would have surprised
the State of Maryland.
"ColfaX" says the appointments of
governor LowndeS were factor in his
defeat, and when he points out d. j
Williams as one of the causes, he is
Just venting some of his spleen on one
of the very best magistrates the town
ever had. We have three magistrates
in Frostburg and DO man is afraid to
go before one of them. They are gen
tlemen and will give Justice to all.
As to Mr.. Williams having no pc
litical intluence-if he has none Sol
fax" need not write Il letter about it.
The people know these things, but
"ColtaX,' | think, has felt Williams
steel, or he would not squirm.
Mr.. Williams activity in the manage
ment of the Lowndes republican club
affairs is not disputed, and | will lust
say as one who knows that the repub.
lican party benefited by it on election
day, for had the Lowndes republican
club done AS the committee in No. 26
did. FroSthurg would have given Smith
800 majority. There was no effort
whatever on the part Of the committee
to get out the vote, and, to supply
that foreseen deficiency. is just what
the club was organized for.
The member of the State central
committee was a splendid selection
to promote party graveyard affairs or
hurdening a club with some bills he
had made without knowing where the
money was coming from to pay for
them. He will pever make II Yelling
ton, IA Quay. nor a Plat in politics.
Finally, if spouters about "The
Real Cause" will keep quiet they will
not cause the people to put the real
cause Just where it belong ON the
"Buckshot" who oustcd Otto Hohing
aud got for himself the appointment
of State committeeman for Frostburg.
A REPUBLICAN.

The Forum is under the impression
that the JOURNAL bankers after office.
AS usual, the lanyard editor of the

AS editor of the paper that is uncou-
ditlonally independent and exclusively

already holds the highest Office in the
county and one of tie highest in the
State. Iushallah,
But, concerning this matter of seek
ing office, there is something to be said
of declining Office. The State com
mitteeman has doubtless forgotten that
the JOURNAL was once appointed to
fill an office, good enough for the
State committeeman later to seek aud
accept from the hands of uepotic
board of county commissioners. The
appointment, as indicated, was not
directly nor indirectly sought, nor did
it come from a father or any other rel
alive, yet the honor and the emolu-
ments were declined-gratetuIy! This
office, in conclusion, was held by the
State committeeman two years, but,
under the recent cruel change of mo-

never hold it again

CUMBERLAND, MD, Nov. %, 1899

After waiting long and impatiently

have received them in August.
And O, what good marking One
cannot tell whether these two ex-
amiuers III one calculated on one or
two hundred per- cent as II basis.
And then we have not received upon
our certificates the numbers assigned
us in the examination, so that we can
not tell whether we have received our
own or someone else's marking.
The school law clearly states that
no one shall be employed as teacher
who does not hold q certificate, yet
some of MS have been two months with
ont certificates. At the same time the
school authorities are very street about
teachers observing the laws.
70 say the least, it seems strange
that Our certificates should be held till
this late date.
We just wish the people of the
county could know in full the way
school affairs are carried on.

peddllng tombstonPs, and that while
thus engaged in pulverizing the back
bone of the democratic parry ex-sheriff
HOhing, placed i'll charge of affairs by
the club, saved the town from giving
a majority for Smith.
The statement that ID. J. Williams
would have been turned ont of office
had LOwndes been elected is not be-
lleved by any well-informed constitu-
ent of any party. Indeed, it is next
thing to dead certainty that the
State committeeman hasn't that much
force under any circumstances. He
amounts to about as much in the flow
of politics as rat-tail floating in a
mill race.
The JOURNAL has just received Il
