Probably a Needless Arrest.

Hearing considerable severe comment
upon the propriety of arresting and jail
gin Il man with IA boy musician, the
JOURNAL made some inquiry and found
that the enforcement of law, enacted
to correct city abuses, sometimes seems
to fall needlesSly hard outside the city.
The boys excellent music probably
brought him hundreds of miles without
arrest. That it remained for Frostburg
to stop him seems to show the marble
heart.

Fact.

The Keyser CIV. Va Trib""c says;
The lynching of the co'ored murderer at
Elkins was deplorable fact, but it teaches
two things.
|. That if the officers of the law won't pun
ish criminals the people will, and
,, That negroes will be lynched for crime
no matter in what section they may live.
Had the Trjbunc been here Saturday
evening last it would have seen a strong
disposition to hanga ~hite criminal.
Had the victim been citizen nothing
could have saved the murderer.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS.
Now is the Time.

FRosTBuRG, Mp, July IL, 1901.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
Two weeks ago you kindly printed
letter from me concerning our water af
fairs, and now again ask you for space
to say few words to the MayOr and
Council on the duties of their committees
1t appears to me that i'll the past the
members of the different committees
have misunderstood their dutiesns mrn,-
brrS Ot commuters. As | look at the
matter each member of each committee
should acquaint himself with the duties
of that particular committee, study its
requirements, estimate its needs for the
current year, and ask the Financial COM
mittee N He bcgin"i0y of the ycor to APP
prOpriate the amount necessary for it to
accomplish it's years work. Then
Council would always know Just where
it stood
Now, which is the most important
committee:
1t has been the custom of all previous
Councils to look upon the Street COM
mittee as the most important, but, in
my opinion, that is just where their
failure has come i'll.
The Finance committee is the most
important of them all, and when proper
ly composed of just such gentlemen us
are on it this year, thar committee can
do more to put our town in good shape
than any other or all the committees
combined.
But it has been the idea of all past
Finance committees that their sole being
and purpose We're to go. X" bills, and
at the end of the year audit the accounts
But there is anotherand sill more i'm
portant duty for them to perform, and
that right at Nh" brgi""i"g Of Hr ycnr,
namely-to furnish to each committee
at IA regular meeting of the Council an
appropriation sufficient to carry that
committee through the year.
But some will say-how can that be
done?
With little labor and trouble, very
easily. Take the different accounts for
several years back; see what they We're;
make due allowance for the growth of
that particular department; find ont
what can be eat do"U dnd cW ont, and
there you have it.
Now, | see by the JOURNAL that the
assessment for the current year will
amount to Sll ,22i 80 taxes, to which will
be added $4,000 from County Commits
sioners, 81 100 of which is now in the
Treasurer's hands. So, with last years
expenditures, rs shown by the report,
we can soon see if we can save anything
from one account so rs to pay off some of
our long-standing debts, whose interest
Is eating us up:

July 26, 1901. Frostburg, Md.
In Wednesdays Nc~x the statement
was made that
Local sportsmen are getting together to
cover some of the money of the hackers of
John Goldsworthy, the cycer of Frostburg,
who will race any Allegany county man for
from IS to $500
Mr.. Goldsworthy, talking to the jour
MIA, disclaims having issued the "DcoD-
dtjondl challenge quoted above. He is
an employee whose time is not his own,
and unless he can obtain reasonable OPP
portunlty to train he cannot compete in
any such contest as he is made to pro-
pose i'll the so-called "challenge." He
states, however, that if he can get the
short time he needs, he will enter the
contest against anybody the county can
put up.
The congregation of John Wesley NJ.
f. Church, colored, held ii picnic Tues
day and incidentally game of baseball,
Meyerslale club contesting against
Frostburg. In the 9th inning, with a
score Of 9 to ., Meyersdale charged the
home team with unchristian conduct.
In other words, Mcycrsdale held that
Frostburg had changed the batting
order on them, and the Meversdale
umpire, Charles Brown, sustained his
club and declared the game forfeited by
Frostburg Meycrsdale 9, Frost

John Goldsworthy, champion wheel

some intention of engaging in race,

not know until the last moment that he
would be allowed to enter. Then, some

He Talks of the Work Of the
Assassin.

Cleveland, Sept. 6.--"My God ii can't
abe possiblen cried Senator Hanna this
Afternoon when dispatch was read to
him saying that President Mckinley had
been shot. 1t is terrible and I am too
shocked to express my feeling" he added.
The senator was Frustrated by the news
and begged that all dispatches relating to
the condition of the president be tele-
phoned to him as fast as they arrived.
When convinced that the news from
Buffalo was true, Senator Hanna said:
II cannot say anything about it. It is
too horrible even to contemplate, to think
that such thing could happen to SO
splendid man as President Mckinley,
and at this time and upon such an oc-
casion It Is horrible. awful. Mr.. Nc
Kinley never had any fear Of danger from
that source. OF course, never talked to
him upon such a subject, but know he
never even dreamed Of anything like this
happening. / cannot be interviewed upon
this. 1t Is too awful"
TO a reporter he exclaimed: What Is
this great country coming to when such
men as Lincoln. Garfield and Mckinley
fall by the bullet Of assassins?
Il shall hurry to the bedside Of the pres
ident as rapidly as the train will take
me. only hope that he Is not seriously
injured, but am afraid that my hopes
will be in vain. do want to reach the

die. Nobody can be safe from the work
OF an insane man, 1T seems. It Is terri

Hopes the Shot Was Fired by an In
sane Man and Not for Malice
or Revenge.


Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 6.-Following the
receipt Of the news Of the attempt on the
presidents life w. ]. Bryan sent q brief
message to President Mckinley express
ing his concern. Mr.. Bryan gave out the
following steatment:
.The attempted assassination Of the
president Is a shock to the entire country
and he and his wife are the recipients Of
universal sympathy. The dispatches say
that the shot was fired by an insane man
and it is hoped that this.i is true, for while
: it is a terrible thing for president to be
the victim of the act of a maniac, it
would be even worse for him to be fired
upon by a sane person prompted by
malice or revenge. In republic, where
the people elect their officials and can re-
move them, there can be no excuse for a
resort to violence. If our president were
In constant fear Of plots and censpiracies.
we would soon sink to the level Of those
nations IN which force is the only weapon
of the government and the only weapon
Of the governments enemies.

Terms of Peace. 5

They Have n Talk and Propose
Terms OF Peace.
For the first time in the history OF
their differences, authorized represent
atiyes of the state board of controI and
the state normal board met face To-
face the other day and conferred with
a view to settlement. AS q result the
breach is likely to be closed.
The normal board, after the after.
noon session, adopted resolution de-
ploring the confusion into which the
trouble has thrown the affairs or the
normal schools, and calling on the
board of control to accept the attorney
general as arbiter of the whole ques-
ton at issue, President Ankeny, w. A.
Hammond Of st. James and W. q,
Mitchell Of st. Cloud, were appointed
as a committee to confer with the1
board of control.
President Ieavitt was Ill and Messrs.-
Lee and Gould represented the board
Of control. They rejected the proposi-
ton to submit the question to the at
torney general on the ground that ne
had already expressed bis opinion.
The Joint coinmittee then Went oyer,
the whole subject, and 1t was decided
that the normal school board should
propose a working plan, exactly defp-
Ing the relations between the two
boards, and submit it to the board q
control. The normal board dele gated
the same committee to draw up the
plan. It is' quite probable that the
Duluth normal school Yill not open for on
work for year. The building Will not
be completed until November, and So
late in the day 1t Will be difficult to get
students. or competent teachers. The
other four schools open this month. anu
a number of students from Duluth are
going to the st. Cloud school for the
year. President Bohannon of the Du-.
luth school thinks 1t advisable not to5
attempt any session this winter.
