Some Very Bad Reporting.

Anent the troubles over the CatOctin Fur
mace property, Frederick City correspondents
oflhc Baltimore dailics have maintained their
| reputation for inaccurate reporting. 1t has
been published, and widely copied, that the
railroad running from Thurmont to Catoctin
Furnaces IS n part of the furnace property
and owned by the Blue Mountain Iron and
Steel Company; it has been stated that along
with other betcrments, the iron company
has recently added new Baldwin locomotive
to its railroad equipment.
Now the simple fact is that the Monocacy
Valley Railroad Company is rs separate and
distinct from the Catoctin property and no
more part of that property than IS the
Emmtsburg railroad that runs from Rocky
Ridge on the w. M. II. X. to Emmitsburg.
The NJ. V. r., r. absolutely owns its right of
way from Thurmont to Catoctin Furnaces
and has so owned it since il was built in 1885,
it has never been referred to heretofore as
other than q railroad company by those who
were presumably best informed and the
published statements that have connected or
identified it with the Catoctn property or its
ownership can only have been based upon
surmise, or the most careless inquiry prior to
| reporting

On Friday last the big steam shovel in use
at the Catoctm Furnace ore mines was over
turned and somewhat damaged while strip.

ing operated it is necessary to widen the
base upon which it rests beyond that afforded
by the wheels on the track; this is accom-
plished by building upa bearing under heavy
iron arms tina, extend laterally at right an

Strongly Suspected by Others.

A local educator of Washington County
has the following to say about Teachers
Institutes in the lIagerStown Globe
"The School Board has not yet Sc, time
for the holding of the county teachers lnsti-
tute required by law. 1t is said an effort
will be made to hayc the institute held this
yen late i'll the spring.
Heretofore they haye been held in mid
winter when the pupils most need instruc.
tion and can attend school regularly. The
law SAYS the institute must be held five days.
This cuts the pupils out Of solid week of
instruction and, the teachers and patrons
say, has Il bad effect,
In some Of the smaller counties in the
State the institute is he'd less than five days
and there il sentiment here to have the
time cut also in this county if it can Sc done
Nearly all the teachers are opposed to tn
institute for many reasons and the school
boards throughout the State, it is said, are
hostile to the institution, contending it Is a
waste of time and money with rncommcnsu'
rate returns.
lfthc law did not so require, il is said few
institutes--at least those consuming five
days would be held A local educator
seemed to sum up the reasons for the oppo
