Got $3.50 Damages.

The removed case of John b. Van
SAINT VS.. Dawsey Shaw, removed from
this county to Allegany county for
trial, came up in court at Cumberland
on last Wednesday and a verdict of
$3.50 was rendered by the jury. The
suit resulted from horse trade, some
days after which Shaw and his broth
er assaulted Vansant and treated him
very cruelty. He sued for $4,000 dam
ages. Mr.. Vansant is well respected
citizen of this community, residing
on the Woods farm west of Oakland.
Shaw lives at Terra Alta. W. Va.

Hanna and His Men.

The Bryanites have been holding
up Mark Hanna as the great ogre
whose only object in life was to crush
the life out of some working man and
get a few dollars for the remains. At
last Mr.. Hanna has said word in
self-defense, and this is what he says;
81 never lied to my men, and l
never refused my men what was just
ly due them. l am president of a
mine up in Lake Superior, where
1900 men are employed. Four years
ago Mr.. Bryan went up there to tell
the miners what terrible man l was.
l ordered the mine shut down for a
day-but l did not shut off the pay
and told my men to go and see Bryan.
They turned their backs on him and
went home. Later they sent me res
olutions to the effect that they were
glad to resent the insult that had
been offered me on my own proper
ty."
Mr.. Hanna is satisfied to let it go at
that, and it would seem as if he coulG
afford to.

Eve rramps Assaulted Him.

Daniel Cowan, a Baltimore and
Ohio railroad officer at Piedmont, en-
tered box car to drive out some
tramps Tuesday, when he was as
saulted and badly beaten by five OF
the number who would probably
have killed Mr.. Cowan but for the
timely arrival of railroad men, who
arrested the tramps and put them in
the lookup. Two of the tramps
picked their way out of the Piedmont
police station at about 5 o'clock and
when last seen were running down
the road toward Keyser, the Pied
mont officers pursuing them. Mr..
Cowan is well known here.

fact as to any other man. Kentucky
ought to repudiate both Beckham
and Bryan.
In the words of the Baltimore Meas,
"Mr. Bryan's cheerful readiness to
back up Goebel, and his apparent un-
consciousness that any disgrace is in
volved in a close and cordial affilia-
ton with Croker, can hardly be rec
onciled with the high notions of his
political character which some of his
supporters would like to CHERISH

The Honest Money Democratic
League have 5000 names of Demo
Gratis in Maryland who will vote for
Mckinley, and the echoes of Republi-
can enthusiasm up-the-creek are all
calculated to make Bryanites quake
in their boots. The reception accord
ed Mr.. Bryan in the state was great
one, but their is no warrant in it for
the Bryanites raising any hopes, for
even a greater reception was accord
ed Bryan in Baltimore in 1896, when
the state went for Mckinley by over
$4,000. Maryland is not to be budged
from her sound-money moorings.

THE greatest rush of freight traffic
eyer known is now being experienced
by the railroads of this State, and es.
pecially is this true of the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. The
rush is being handled with considera-
BILE difficulty. There seems to be a
scarcity of trainmen, and this, to.
gether with the water famine which
has become general, is hampering all
the roads of this country to consid.
cradle extent.

The letter published in another
column from Mr.. Joseph Lashorn, of
Deer Park, denying the authorship
of a communication appearing in last
weeks issue of HamilIs Journal in
which the private character OF Mr..
William B. Miller is attacked, lays
the Journal and its oyer-zealous cor
respondent liable to an action at law
and we understand Mr.. Miller pro-
poses pursuing that course in the
courts of this county.
The Journal has upon more than
one occasion heaped calumnies upon
persons who do not move within its
select circle of political free lances
but in this case we are of the opinion
that it's course has been about run
and that hereafter it will be a little
more particular in making assertions
and publishing statements that in no
wise bear the semblance of truth and
veracity.
The law prescribes the manner in
which a community may be rid of a
ferocious animal but it is lame in the
matter of prescribing an antidote for
a newspaper and its editor who re-
spect nothing, not even the law of the
land, nor the good name and charac-
ter of persons who stand head and
shoulders above it's editor both NOR
ally, intellectually and otherwise.

Bryan in Louisville.

When Colonel Bryan went into
Kentucky on one of his speaking
tours four years ago, the Louisville
Courier-JournoL gre eted him thus:
William J. Bryan has come to
Kentucky, and Kentucky has taken
his measure. He is a boy orator. He
is dishonest dodger. He is daring
adventurer. He is a political fakir.
He is not of the material of which the
people of the United States have ever
made President, nor is he even OF
the material of which any party ever
before made candidate

CONGRESSEAN @. H. GROSvENOR,
of Ohio, whose predictions on the
presidential campaign of 1896 aroused
national interest because of their &C
curacy, has made another statement
as to the outcome of the November
election. 1t is given in a telegram
published Friday, as follows:
without going over and recasting
in detail the presidential situation,
believe that Mckinley will not lose
any state that he carried in 1896 with
the possible exception of count-out
in Kentucky, and | believe he will
carry % electoral votes that he did
not carry at that time"
At the election in 1896 Mckinley re-
ceived 271 electoral votes and Bryan
176. McKinley's majority was 95 cleo
toral votes. If Mr.. Mckinley should
receive these twenty-eig electoral
votes more than he did four years
ago, he will have 300 votes and Mr.,
Bryan would have only 14S votes,
which would give Mckinley a major
ity of Isl votes. You can nail this
down. Congressman Grosvenor's pre-
dictions were verified almost to the
dot in 1896 and we do not believe he
has lost his cunning since. At all
events we do not see where our Dem
ocratic friends get their courage, nor
upon what they build their faith.
