Weather is extremely rough at the
present time.
The high waters did considerable
damage to the county roads between
Accident and Friendsyille.
The Garrett County Fire Insurance
Company met at Accident Saturday
last and decided to pay Capt. E. III.
Friend the sum of $500, the amount
his house was insured for which re-

EVANSVILLE,

We again take up the pen to indite
a few items for THE REPUBLICAN.
The recent flooding of our streams
attended by the breaking and passage
Of ice caused considerable damage in
this region. The new, or compare
lively new, iron bridge erected over
the Casselman river on the public
road along the river was swept away
by an ice Jam" last Thursday morn
ing and conveyed by the powerful ice
loaded current into a meadow on the
farm occupied by Albert Stanton,
where it fortunately lodged at place
convenient for it's removal back to it's
proper position. Several weeks ago,
when the temperature became warm
er, the ice in the river broke up, but
gorge formed in which the ice was
solidly and firmly packed; it impeded
the stream and the river overlooked
both banks. This gorge was proba-
bly, a mile in length, with it's upper
extremity about an eighth of mile
below the iron bridge, and as cold
weather returned it was solidly frozen.
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning when the ice which had
formed in immense quantities during
the prolonged cold weather broke and
foated down the swollen stream it
was stopped by the old gorge and
thus new gorge was added to the
old, the extension reaching up to
Little Crossings Mill. AS the volume
of water increased the pressure be-
came so great that the lower end of
the gorge gave away and turned the
huge, crunching, crashing and groan-
ing current into Mr.. Stanton's field,
carrying with it the iron bridge, which
floated like vessel built for voyag
ing. AT the point where the river
broke into the meadow it tore down
a tree and cut channel for short
distance almost as deep as the river
channel itself. The writer witnessed
the destructive panorama and the
gigantic force displayed with it's at
tendant roar was appalling and a
sight never to be forgotten.
Last Wednesday Prof. Gnegy was
called home on account of the criti-
cal illness of his father, whose death
occurred before the professor reached
home.
Ronald O'Hanly is quite i'll with la
grippe.

BLOOMINGTON.

MesSrS. Dubois u Bond have come
to satisfactory agreement with the
b. & o. in reference to their plant
and will locate their mill on the
Widow Wilt farm three or four miles
from Crab Tree. The railroad con-
nection will be made at "a water sta
ton, as originally intended. Con-
tracts have been made for the cree
ton of two boarding houses, one at
the mill and one in the woods for the
accommodation of the logging crews.
Several other buildings will be erect
ed about the mill for the superinten-
dent and foreman. 1t will take 5000
cross ties for tire road up Savage
river, most of which have already
been furnished. Gangs of men are
now busy cutting out the right of
way and by the time spring has fair
ly opened, this industry, which bids
fair to be of great benefit to this end
of Garrett county will be well in it's
way.
The cock fight or main at the aut-
omobile factory at Luke on Thursday
night proved quite an attraction for
the sports of Piedmont, Georges
Greek and Cumberland. About four
hundred persons enjoyed the match
between Cumberland and Piedmont
and great deal of money changed
hands on the result. Nine birds were
entered on each side but ON account
of the lateness of the hour and the
time consumed in the fight only six
appeared in the pit. At the end of
the main Cumberland had five dead
roosters to her credit and most of the
money, while Piedmont had one and
the little end of the purse. This was
return match, the first fight which
Piedmont won killing every bird,
came off in Cumberland some time
ago. The admission was fifty cents,
the proceeds of which went to the
winners.
"T. AlUeTG w dTlllChs vi Elm OdGucD,
who is quite an authority on the cul-
tivation of small fruits was in town
Wednesday, visiting relatives.
During the heavy rain on Thursday
night landslide occurred at Buxton
mine, covering up the mouth of the
mine entirely. Tons of rock and dirt
came down over the opening and
suspended work until the debris was
removed.
Nearly everybody in town was at
the river bank on Friday afternoon
watching for big ice gorge that was
reported to have left German at II
o'clock in the morning and was due
at this place about 4 p. m. 1t was
supposed to be about miles long
and feet high and had been loosen
ed by the aid OF dynamite at or near
German to prevent the inundation of
that town. About the time it was
due the river commenced to fall and
the big ice gorge turned out to be a
fake.

wish to say a word to the farmers
of Garrett county about buying clover
and timothy seed. Don't buy any
thing but pure, clean seed; don't have
poor, filthy seed at any price; don't
have it as a present. Our county is
being ruined by sowing bad seed.

Rector's Resignation Accepted d.

AT meeting of the vestry of St.
Matthew's Protestant Episcopal Par
ish held in Oakland on Saturday last
the resignation of Rev. W. II. Os-
mond, who has for a year or more
very acceptably filled the rectorship
in the parish, was rendered and ac-
cepted, but very much to the regret
of the parishioners. The vestry, up-
on accepting Mr.. Osmond's resigna-
ton, adopted the following resolu-
tions:
We, members OF the vestry of St.
Matthew's Parish, Garrett county, in
the Diocese of Maryland, this first
day of March, 1902, receive with re-
luctance the resignation of our rec
tor, the Rev. VIM. H. Osmond, and
hereby make earnest and formal
ayowal of regret at his departure,
with assurances of personal esteem
and official attachment. In the years
of sweet pastoral relation and close
contact in the ways Of life bonds have
formed and feelings crystalized pain
full to sever, even at the behest of
duty. During the period OF his stay
with us Mr.. Osmond has stood in the
chancel and before the public in no
uncertain way. His catholicity of
creed and conservation to true wor-
ship enabling him to discard non
essentials and to proclaim only that
christianity "once delivered to the
Saints" We, for ourselves and for
this parish, cordially unite in this in
adequate testimonial with the cher
ished hope that he may be crowned
with health and happiness in the dis
tant field to which he is called and
that when the heat and burden of the
day have been borne he may come
from the harvest with the devout of
our ancient faith bearing full sheaves
for the Masters gathering.
Rev. Osmond and his estimable wife
will leave shortly for Lewiston, Maine,
their future home, where Mr.. Osmond
will become the pastor of a thriving
church, followed by the best wishes
of his many warm friends of Oakland.

THE anniversary of the birthday of
Samuel j. Tilden was made the oc-
casion of a great Democratic banquet
in Brooklyn, in the hopes of solidify-
ing and strengthening the party. 1t
is noticed, however, that the most
prominent men of both factions were
conspicuously absent. The peerless
leader of 1s96-1996 sent short note
and an editorial of advice from the
Commoner, and ex-President Cleve-
land sent also long letter full of
counsel. Ex-Governor Hill, of New
York, likewise found it inconvenient
to attend. We're Samuel Randall
alive he would be forced to the per-
manent conclusion that the wings of
the Democracy no longer flap to-
gether.'

THE LEGISLATURE.

Those citizens who have watched
closely the course of political events
in Maryland, during the last four
years, will remember that on the adj
journment of the Legislature two
years ago the Baltimore Sun said:
1T would have been better had it
never been" There is no doubt in
the minds of the people that what
was said by the San was correct. The
present Legislature, which is con-
trolled by the Democrats as the one
two years ago, is over two-thirds
through, yet it has given the worst
exhibition of chicanery, corruption
and Indifference to peoples rights and
privileges that has been seen in this
State, and that is saying good deal,
for the Democrats have been in con-
troll for thirty years or more. The
behavior of the bosses and their I'M
derlings has been so infamous that
some of the Democratic members of
the Legislature have refused to fur
ther support their party. Since the
Legislature met the Democratic lead
ers have divided their time between
evolving schemes to rob the voters
of their rights and plugging legisla-
ton. They act as though the Legis-
lature was place at which they must
enrich themselves sufficiently to live
without any exertion until the next
Legislature meets, and thus having
free rein to devote their energies to
keeping in power the ring which
makes it possible for them to obtain
money in the manner they do with
out danger of punishment. A mem
Der of the Democratic party has been
so Disguised with the behavior and
