A local assembly has been formed in
Eckhart with numerous membership.
The Nickels hall meeting Sunday
afternoon, last, was largely attended and
much interest manifested.
1t is believed by very many on-lookers
that the operators of this region will be
called upon next spring for a share of
the 'prosperity' said to be surging i'll
and around the coal trade as never
before.
Luter-The JOURNAL does not wish to
be regarded as unduly apprehensive of
a suspension here, but since the forego-
ing paragraphs We're placed in type it
has been informed on pretty good au-
thority that the men here will not wait
until next spring. In the language of
one old miner, 1--WE are going to wiring
some of that 61-cent protection out of
the people who are getting it i'll labor's
name, but not giving it to labor In
this event, the exercise of little bust
ness common sense of the cOmmonest
denomination on both sides will shorten
if it does not avert difference.

Adam Wagner, street supervisor, called
on the JOURNAL Monday and inquired
who it was "had that piece put i'll the

The JOURNAL gave him all the infor-
nation it had and asked whether the
charge against him was correct.
Mr.. Wagner explained that his ac-
cuser was wrong; that he (Wagner) was
not appointed by Council as a road
hand, but as overseer.

New Laundry.

The new laundry plant erected and
equipped b. the Frostburg Laundry
Company, A. $. Burton, manager, is an
extensive establishment both i'll struc-
ture and equipment.
The building is Il l-story frame "a by
"a feet, including the small cngine-houSc,
equipped with II horsepower steam
engine. A shaft extending nearly the
entire length of the building turns in
succession the apparatus of large
washers; starch makers; smaller wash
ers; dip-wheel; shirt-starchers; wiping
tables; fine shirt-roller; cuff machines
one for high gloss, the other for dOmes-
tic finish; centrifugal wringer; big
soap-makers-one for colored work, the
other for white eyelet- raiser-the mana
gers own invention and make from the
remains of Wheeler & Wilson sewing
machine; yoke, sleeve and neck-band
ironer; mangle for finishing sheets,
table-cloths, etc.-the largest machine
in the establishment, weighing $500
pounds; a cOllar-edge ironer; Dixie
blower-furnishing air for ironing ma
chimes; steam-tipper for dampening
collar and other folds-manager' inven-
ton and make; mechanism for finishing
collars, etc.-alsO managers invention
and make, and an ingenious and COM
plete apparatus of three cylinders and
mechanical devices-one gas-heated; :
ironing machines and a ventilating fan
vet to come. A small horse power en-
CINE propels the fan in the dryingroom.
There is yet ample area for seven tables
and office, and still plenty space for
visitors to walk around and inspect all
departments of laundry operation.
This is probably the most complete as
we'll az largest establishment of the kind
in the county. 1t is probably fitted to
do more, for instance, with Il collar than
any other.
On several accounts, therefore, Mr..
Burton is very anxious to have his plant
explored, especially by the ladies, who
are most interested in the cleanliness,
finish and wholesomeneSs of laundry
work.

\ Criticism Resented.
FRosTBURG, Mn, Nov. II, 1902.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In reading the town "Brevities" last
week | saw that some taxpayer wrote
note to SilaS w. Duggan, councilman,
under a disguised name, criticizing our
street supervisor-an old man | always
knew to be honest in every way, es-
pecially in his work.
Why should this gentleman watch the
old man and then be careful enough to
hide his name?
And now l say that having been
ashamed to give his name, Council has
no right to notice his complaint.
In conclusion, if he is taxpayer, y
how much taxes does he pay? Or,
whether taxpayer or not, does he
want the old man job:

To the courtesy of Amos CLAIR, editor
of the Windber (Pa.) Jo"r"aI, the JOUR
NAL is indebted for copy of the fran
chise given by the Windber authorities
to the Johnstown Passenger Railway
company.
The paper was evidently drawn by the
attorney of the company, passed by
Council, vetoed by the Mayor, and again
passed by Council over the Mayors veto
-undnimo"sly.
The Mayors veto message is the bet
ter half of the record. Without UNI
reasonable inhospitality to thecompany' S
enterprise he was very careful to pro-
tect the towns interests from present
injury and its rights from future in
fringement. He would have suggested
more in this direction probably had he
chosen to 60 beyond the record presented.
The JOURNAL sought this favor from
Mr.. CLAIR with the view of printing a
synopsis for future guidance here.
Though better paper than the one
recently revoked here, it is still not good
enough for Frostburg, where fran
chise which protrcts the propI' n"d to"n,
rather than the company, is wanted and
must be had, if possible.
The Windber franchise is vitiated, too,
by Councils action in passing it over
the Mayors veto. The ""onimity of the
the railroad company, not the people,
was wholly represented.

The Hotel Gladstone omnibus team
ran away Friday of last week. A col
lision with Peter Harris grocery team
occurred, mutual damage incurred, final
ly smash of the omnibus. The driver,
porter and bell-bOy were on but es-
capped injury.
Wednesday horse attached to a
small wagon got skedaddled by a car
standing i'll front of the post-otfice. The
wagon was twisted up until the owner
didn't recognize it; another one horse
team got demoraliZed and wanted to
kick the car off the track Failing in
this, the horse wanted to pull his wagon
into the post-office and was stopped only
by IA fusion of republicans and demo-
Gratis. Another team, said to have been
loaded with powder, was on the edge of
the miXup. The moral of this story is
if the 10 or 70 minutes of stop at the
centre of town We're spent in betting the
town, as it ought to be, there would be
no dangerous congestion of teams and
people anywhere. The reasons for the
electric road going fhro"gh town multiply.
