TOWN AND VICINITY.
Died

At 1:35 Tuesday morning, April 10,
1901. i'm the hospital of the University OF
MARYLAND, Baltimore, Mr.. Thomas Hill,
of this place, in the 9TH year of his age.
He had undergone a successful sur
gical operation for cancer of the stomach
Monday, from which he rallied with
promising results, but during the night II
became evident that the shock was one
which his vital forces, weakened by long
illness. could not withstand. After sew
eral hours of suffering, therefore, the
end came as above stated.
Thomas Hill was born December ~,
1914, near Belfast, Ireland. Wheh IL
wears old he came to the United States
settling at Fall River, Mass, where he
lived until the Civil War broke ont. In
1861 he enlisted in the 9TH regiment OF
Rhode Island Volunteers, campalgned
under Gen. Burnside, and i'll 1863 con-
tracted fever which resulted in his dis
charge from the service.
A short while later he came to Frost
burg and in 1868 married Miss Elizabeth
G. Mason, eldest daughter of the late r..
w. Mason, of this place. To this union
9 children We're born, of whom all are
living except the eldest.
Mr.. Hill was one of the pioneer pubic
school teachers Of this vicinity, serving
here during the latter sixties and early
seventies under r. r. Sanner, and later
principal of several neighboring schools
April 20, 1889, he entered the railway
mail service, sphere for which he was
peculiarly well fitted and i'll which he
earned high reputation for accurate ana
industrious performance of duty. For
nearly II years, or until failing heal'h
forced REIMBURSEMENT, he filled the office
acceptably to all over him.
Mr.. Hill took great interest i'll public
affairs, was an unbending partisan, but
sincere in all his convictions. Hence, he
stood we'll in public estimation as one
concerning whose predictions there
never was IA mistake.
Mrs. Hill and her eldest son, Mason,
was with him when he died, and at once
brought the remains home arriving here
Tuesday night.
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon at st. Johns church, Rev. a. G..
Haverstick, rector, officiating.

A. R., were Messrs.-

A Word OfComfort.

Many people sympatliize with bailitf
Samuel Bowen as one who, perhaps not
altogether blamelcss for negligence of
duty, is probably suffering in many in
stances from abuse of his indulgence by
the towns debtors. No doubt much of
the amount charged against him is still
outstanding and cOllectible. If so, those
who owe should not wait to be called
upon, but come forward and pay quickly
principal and interest. LntCr-Mr.
Bowen informs the JOURNAL that he
feels indicated by the action of the
Court inasmuch as it was ascertained
his books and accounts We're found
straight. In other words, nothing that
came in his hands went astray.

Some Remarks.

The ForHm threw out several broad
hints last week to that large circula-
ton" that money on subscriptions is
needed.
The presumption is-moving costs
money, and the presumption is correct
Not only so, but there is nothing in,
about, around, over or under news
paper making that doesn't cost money
All the machinery, type and paper are
expensive, and the credit of so many
printing offices is so poor that even the
good ones must pay cash for all they get
Notwithstanding this fact many peo-
pie 90 ON month after month reading
the paper without appearing to think
that the publisher ever gets in need of
money for his materials, his labor, his
bread.
In this connection it is opportune to
state that the JOURNAL has on its books
a few delinquents who have outlived
their credit with the great paper and
whose names will be dropped at the end
of this month (ApriD unless meanwhile
they pay up.
a few deadheads will also go off the
list
1t is not just, even to the beneticiaries
for anyone to infer that the conduct of
a newspaper costs nothing.

Police Court.

Antonio Aluminiuii and BOlito Bumii,
or some other ii, dark SONS of slnlit
Italy, We're brought before justice
Weimcr Monday for carrying concealed
weapons. This evidence, orally con-
elusive, was corroborated by the result
of a search of theirclothes in open court
The weapons We're found. The justice
had about concluded that 81 fine would
be the right thing when Judgment was
arrested by the eloquence of one end of
the Home Conveyance and Foreign
Building company, whereupon the jul
tice decided that the dagoes We're not
guilty. Herein he erred egregiously.
In this case it We're better to make IL
mistake on the side of severity.
Justice John Chambers heard charge
against d. p. Atkinson Wednesday even
ing for chicken stealing, and Mr.. A.
was held for inquest by the grand jury.
Mr.. A. was careless with some pocket
papers which were found one morning
i'll the hennery i'll place of the hens.
Hence, the justice thought the grand
jury should decide whether Mr. 4. should
explain i'll open court how and why
those papers We're deposited for safe
keeping in hen-house. Technically the
justice might have properly dismissed
the charge as unwarranted. but wishing,
no doubt, to discourage chicken-sGealing
as home industry and means of liveli-
hood, he thought it best to turn the
problem over to the grand inquest.

lance rider of the world. and James z
Moran, ex-amateur champion Of the
world and champion of the state OF Mas
sachusetts, will be the feature of the OPEN
ing of the Coliseum, 18th and East Capitol
streets, tonight at s O'Clock. In this event
the men will be paced by four motor tan
dens, and an attempt will be made to
lower the record for that distance on a
slX-lap track 1t is the first of a series of
races arranged between these two we'll
known riders, and exciting contest is
promised. In order to break the record
it will be necessary for both men to ride
the entire distance under / 80 and near the
1.3D mark. which it is thought both men
are capable of doing. 1t will be the first
appearance of both riders on a track this
season. and their riding will be watched
with considerable interest The track is
considered by experts to be the fastest and
finest constructed track in America and
fast time can be expected. Two addi-
tional tandems have been teegraphed for,
and will be here in time for the race
so that neither man will want for pace

against riders from all over the world. If
he is beaten by Elkes his opponent will be
obliged to ride every mile of the twenty

both can do. Moran rode against Elkes

Gradys kick on Umpire Cantillion in the
eighth was foolish. The bah looked like a
good one and Grady deserved to be put out
