the other day and he informed us that he
had made arrangements TO attend the Bal.
timore Medical College this year. Here.

school teachers and is sure to succeed in his

The recent rains washed out the county
bridge at Harrington's crossing above town.
We believe IL would have shown wisdom ON
the part OF the party having charge to have
closed the road, as II is impossible TO cross
and almost impossible TO turn wagon and
the railroad crossing at the northern end of
the bridge makes 1t very dangerous.
There was a Fourth of July ''scrap" her c
tuesday afternoon. The participants were
some of our town DULLES and some miners
from up about Tunnelton, all of whom wer/
charged with bad liquor. ON account of
negligence or some reason, no arrests have
been made. Such work is barbarious and
inhuman, and although il is impossible TO
prevent such occurrences among the ,oughs
and drunken element, we believe they should
be arrested and rigidly dealt with.
One of the most dangerous places along
the line OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
heretofore, has been Murray Tunnel at
Austen. Rocks as large as box car would
tumble down, smash up and block the road.

punng the past year the company has had
force at work there and last week they
completed the arch which is grand piece
OF architectural beauty and so substantial as
TO Danish further fear of falling rocks or
other accidents for many years to come.
There is no further need of a Waterman or
telegraph station there, and both have been
suspended.
Although Newburg did not have any
general celebration the Fourth, our people
generally celebrated ii anyway. Some at
attended the picnic at Concord, some Eel
louisville, large number attended the Odd
Fellows picnic up at Flynn's grove and some
went to Mt. Lake and other points. Sure.
they all had glorious time. Al night the
enthusiasts busted themselves by puncturing
the sky with skyrockets and balloons, red,
white and blue. The patriots used powder,
dynamite and fire crackers IN such amounts
the sound was fac simile Of the lombard.
ment OF Santiago. The sports all sported
their girls and loaded up on ice cream, ice
cream soda, candy, peanuts and ginger
snaps. Some Of the boys, the height Of
whose ambition IL is to booze, boozed.
