KILLED AT C0RINTH.

Former Garrett Countian Met a Tragic
Death.
Charles Wilburn, aged about forty
years, formerly resident of Alta
mont, this county, but lately employ
ed as miner by the Oakland Coal
and Coke Company, whose plant is
located at Corinth, mile west of the
Maryland State line in West Virginia,
was instantly killed by eastbound
Baltimore q Ohio passenger train last
Friday afternoon shortly after four
O'Clock.
The unfortunate man was return
ing from the mine to his late home
which is situated on the opposite side
of the railroad and stepped upon the
track Immediately in front of the
swiftly moving train which struck
him and hurled his body for dis
lance of forty or fifty feet. When the
trainmen reached him it was found
that life was extinct. He leaves a
wife and several children.
His funeral took place Sunday, the
interment being made in the Deer
Pa rk cemetery.

A CUMBERLAND TRAGEDY.
Suicide of a Prominent Young Man Disap-
pointed in Love.

Suicide of a Prominent Young Man Disap-
pointed in Love.
Because of disappointment in love,
E. Clifton Greenwade, aged % years,
committed suicide after going to his
room late Saturday night by shooting
himself in the head. He was removed
to the Western Maryland Hospital,
where he died at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning. His home was at Keyser,
W. Va, but he managed the extensive
general store of his father, Daniel J.
Greenwade, in South Cumberland.
He was prominent socially and popu-
lar among the young men. He be-
longed to the Odd-Fellows, knights
of Pythias and several other beneyo-
lent orders.
He was in love with young lady
in South Cumberland, Miss Beatrice
NJ. Storer, who did not reciprocate
his sentiments. He tried Saturday
night to purchase morphine and when
the druggist, Mr.. Truitt, refused to
sell the poison to him, young Green
wade drew revolver from his pocket
and said: well, this will do" He
was about to send bullet through
his head, when his friend, Mr.. Truitt,
knocked him down and disarmed him.
In the struggle to get the revolver
from him the weapon was discharged
and Mr.. Truitt narrowly escaped be-
ing hit. The bullet lodged in the cell
ing. Several days ago Greenwade
tried to get poison, but was refused.
He asked the young lady some time
ago to reinstate him in her affections,
saying that if she did not he would
kill himself. He yisited TRUTHS drug
store twice Saturday night. On the
first occasion, when he was refused
the poison, he left for Elliott's drug
store to obtain it, but found the place
closed. He returned to TRUTHS, where
he wrote a letter to his father and
then produced the revolver, the dis
arming following. He looked wild
when he left the drug store.
At 11.30 o'clock he walked to his
boarding house with Frank Screen,
chatting pleasantly. He bid Mr..
Screen goodnight, and the latter had
just time to reach the street corner
when he heard pistol shot. He hur-
ried back, to find that Greenwade
had shot himself. He had secured
another revolver at the store, and
hurrying to his room placed the re-
yolver to the left side of his head and
fired, burning the hair off on that
side. He did not take time to light
the lamp, shooting himself while in
the dark. His father and mother
came and took his remains home.

Mr.. KENNEWEG'S POSITION.

lnasmuch as Mr.. Kenneweg has ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination
for Congress it would serve to en-
tighten the voters of the district if he
would state whether he stands on the
Kansas City platform or not. He
doubtless will admit that the princi-
piles of the Democratic party were
clearly defined in the Chicago plat
form and reiterated in that of Kansas
City. When two successive national
conventions state a set of principles
to be those of party it is fair to pre-
sumo that the party can be judged as
adhering to them. Therefore the
voters would like to know whether it
is true that Mr.. Kenneweg is in favor
of free silver, or whether he wants to
see the Philippines turned oyer to
Aguinaldo. He cannot well evade the
question. Either he stands on the
Democratic platform or he does not.
He says that he expects to be elected
because he was elected county com
missioner. If he is elected is it not
fair to presume that he will vote for
the Democratic measures prepared
by the Democratic leaders. Will he
not attempt to force free silver on
this country, and do it at the cost of
reasonable antitrust legislation just
as the Democratic Congressman did
in the last Congress.
His election will mean certainly that
his party will have another vote to
push the spirit of the Kansas City
platform to the fore. His election
will mean another recruit for free sill
yer, another Tom Jonsonite, another
Bryanite in the halls of Congress.
When the Republican leaders en-
deavor to secure the passage of other
antitrust measures Mr.. Kenneweg if
he should be elected will say, No, free
silver first, because my party in plat
form and caucus says SO. But, how
ever, he cannot beat Colonel Pearre
because the people don't want to ex-
change an able representative for an
experiment standing on the Kansas
City platform.

MR.. BRYAN,S INFLUENCE.

BILE to foresee what the result of the
next two years will be in forming is
sues or in exalting or depressing per-
sonal influence. Before the summer
of 1904 some great and oYerpowering
national or international event may
sweep into insignificance by it's i'm
perative preoccupation of the public
mind all of the issues now before the
country. Two years ago, if there had
been at Kansas City an organized
effort made, Mr.. Bryan would have
had to consent to accept the nomina-
ton on platform quite different
from that which he had drafted, or
would have had denomination de-
MED him. The platform and nomi-
nation at that gathering were not
the results of enthusiasm and convic-
ton, but the outcome of political

Washington County Rural Mails.

A. F. George, employed by the gov
eminent to map out Washington
county for free rural mail delivery,
has about half finished the work. 1t
is thought that the system cannot be
finished this year. Mr.. George says
that the opposition to rural free de-
livery is rapidly disappearing, and
many of those who were vigorously
opposed to change now want it. He
has demonstrated to them that they
will have better mail facilities under
rural free delivery than they are get

courtesy. 1t cannot be said that in
the last two years Mr.. Bryan has in
creased his popularity; indeed, the
general impression concerning him is
quite the reverse. Where a two-thirds
vote is necessary for a nomination it
is always possible that forces can be
gathered at a convention of sufficient
strength to hold in check the candi-
dacy of some particular individual;
and it is barely possible, though we
think it improbable, that this veto
power will rest with Mr.. Bryan and
his friends.

NEW BRIDGES TO BE ERECTED.
Contracts Let For One Over Savage Rive
and One Near Oakland.

Contracts Let For One Over Savage River
and One Near Oakland.
At the recent meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners contracts
were awarded for the erection OF two
single span iron bridges, one of which
is to be over Savage River near Elias
Merrill's on the road leading from
New Germany to Homecoming, Ale
gany county.
The second bridge contracted for is
to replace the wooden structure now
spanning the little Youghiogheny
River just on the outskirts of Oak
land on the road leading TO Crellin.
The Oakland Crellin bridge will oc-
cupy the same site as now occupied
by the wooden bridge provided the
location is satisfactory to the travel
ing public, which, speaking for those
using that thoroughfare, is not, the
dangerous proximity of the railroad
to the bridge rendering it unsafe at
all times and under the most favora-
bic circumstances.
A protest signed by citizens and
tax payers generally against the
building of the bridge at the old loca-
ton would do much toward having
it changed and relocated at point
further down the stream which was
surveyed early in the spring. Aside
from this heavy hill can be avoided
which can only be kept in repair by
the expenditure yearly of large sums
on the part of the Commissioners.
