The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-05-15

News reached this Office by tele-
phone Monday telling of the death in
a horrible form of the little four and
a-half year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles S. Dewitt, of Sang Run.
on Saturday of last week.
Mrs. Dewitt had left the child
alone in the house while she went a
distance of probably one hundred
yards to neighbours but had no
sooner arrived there than her attrac-
tion was drawn toward her home by
the screams of the little girl. Stimuli
taneously she beheld her daughter
rush from the doorway, her clothing
in flames. Mrs. Dewitt retraced her
steps as fast as she possibly could and
succeeded putting out the fire encom-
passing her daughter but not until
after the child had been fatally
burned and the mother receiving
numerous nlinor injuries.
As soon as possible physician was
summoned who rendered all the aid
he could to alleviate the sufferings of
the child but she died the same after
noon as result of the burns re-
ceived. The funeral took place Mon
day and was attended by large con
course of sympathetic friends and
neighbors.
Mrs. DeWitt's burns, while painful,
are not of a serious nature, and her
complete recovery from them is only
a matter Of few days.
The sympathy of all is with the
afflicted parents.

KILLED BY A LIMB.
Perry SchnOpps, Youth of Seven
teen Years, Killed Tues
day Morning
BY A LIMB OF A TREE FALLING UPON HIN
He Was Engaged As WOodsman by Ezra
Thomas With Whom He Also Made
His Home-His Skull Crushed, Death
Following Instantly.

Perry Schnopps, of near Sang Run,
was instantly killed Tuesday morning
by limb of tree falling upon his
head, which crushed his skull.
The unfortunate young man was
employed by Ezra Thomas, ESQ.,, a
contractor for A. Knabb & Co., of
Krug. a tree had just been felled
and Schnopps was upon the trunk
measuring it when the limb of dead
tree which had been shattered by the
falling one, gave away and descended
upon the back of his head crushing
his skull and killing him instantly.
A number of other employees of the
contractor were witnesses to the acct
dent but could in no wise render the
stricken man any assistance. His
remains were taken to Mr.. Thomas
house, with whom he made his home,
and there prepared for burial. The
funeral will take place to-day.
Schnopps was originally from Penn
sylvania but has been in Garrett
county for some time.

Dear Sir: Some think we take a
good deal of risk in inviting com
plants of Devoe lead and zinc-we
authorize our agent to sell it under
this guarantee:
IF you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear. tell your
dealer about it.
I'VE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
The following story tells how little
the risk is:
J. H. Asher & Co., hardware deal
ers, Rhinebeck, N. Y, haye sold De-
voc from '76 to now, and have had
just one complaint in all this time.
Three sides of a house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the three
were good.
E1planation-It rained the night
before the forth side was painted; and
the painters didn't wait for the wood
to dry.
What is done in such case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint,
considers it fair to do. We leave it
to him. He may not do exactly what
we should do if We were there; but
we are not there. The best we can
do is to leaye it to him.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE & Co.

HOYES AND VICINITY,

The selection of a Garrett county
man for Surveyor Of the Port of Bal
timore pleases all parties here. Be-
ing the first Presidential appointment
of this class this county has received
we naturally feel somewhat elated
Is it unreasonable to expect further
recognition?
We are deeply interested in the u
S. Fish Hatchery proposed to be loca-
ted in Garrett county. Our distin-
guished representative has secured a
favorable report from the House
Committee on Appropriations for
$25, 900 and has no doubt the bill will
go through Congress. Our able Sen
ators will see it through the Senate.
Should our county secure this hatch
cry it will greatly benefit our bust
ness interests and add much to the
attractions of our famous mountain
resorts. Many thousands of dollars
will be expended, employing a large
amount of labor. McHenry presents
every feature for an ideal location
climate. scenery, water and environ
ment being all that could be imagined
or desired. So often have the attrac-
lions and advantages, the beauties
and benefits, the charms and com
forts, the sorcery of our scenery, the
majesty of our mountains, the witch
cry of our waters been portrayed we
will not gild gold or paint the lily.
Suffice to say if you look upon the
scenery of Garrett you are lost. The
visit of the Presidents wife proves
the attractions of our county.
Recent legislation for the protec-
ton of our game is wise and timely.
Its total destruction was only ques-
ton of short time under previous
practices.
1t is understood that Knabb & Co.
have sold their large numbering plant
to Kendall Bros, of Pittsburg, who
will take possession about July 1st.
Messrs. Knabb & Co. will continue
operating their barrel and stave bus
mess.
We were panied to learn of a sad
and fatal accident which occurred
Tuesday morning in this district.
Perry Snopp, an estimable young
man, about II years of age, employed
by Mr.. Thomas in logging, while en-
gagged at his work was struck by a
falling limb and instantly killed.
After one of the most severe win
tiers ever known by this generation
spring opened with great promise.
Fruit bloomed with every indication
of an abundant crop. The heavy
frosts of last week appear to have
damaged some of the earlier and
more tender varieties

heard. 1t was a time never to be for
gotten.
But we trust that you will come to
help as well as to be helped, to bless
well as to be saved. One of our excel
lent eyangelists, in writing to us, on
former occasion, dwells upon this
point: 81 shall have to confess that |
was thinking more about the refresh
ing Mountain Lake Camp would be
to my own heart than of any help /
might be able to bring, though |
know the presence of any one filled
with the Spirit is an inspiration and
blessing of itself One reason l have
dwelt more on the personal benefit /
would derive from Mountain Lake is
because we haye worked so continu-,
ously, with scarcely any rest, that |
feel more like being lifted than lift
ing | know you have not any place
for 'drOnes, that absorb and never
give out anything. When he says
Whom shall l send and who will go
for us?' there shall come the glad re-
Spouse, Here am | send me-"
One Methodist pastor wrote to us
as follows: mo child ever anticipated
the coming o: Christmas, with its pc
culiar pleasures, with more delight
than look forward annually to the
Mountain Lake Park Camp Meeting.
There, on the summit OF the beauti-
full Alleghanies, God sanctifed my
soul and put me in the very vesti bule
of heaven. | welcome the return of
the time when ! can travel to that
spot where my soul was filed with
glory and where l can enjoy the com
munion of saints"
An excellent worker in one of the
widest-known slum missions wrote
thus about his need of holiness for
his very trying work: II find, down
here, among drunkards, thieves, hyp-
ocrites and the awful evidences and
results Of Satan's cruel power, that
the steady wear and tear of the fight
makes it absolutely necessary to come
to Jesus for the cleansing stream, to
renew my strength, to take a fresh
drink from the fountain that is flow
ing forever and that cleanseth every
stain. | do indeed need trip to

Sly Cupid's Surprise.

The Piedmont Herald says:
"At the close of services at the M.
E. church, Piedmont, last Sunday
night, May 4, 1902, the congregation
was somewhat surprised to see Mr..
Charles G. Custer, of Grantsville,
Garrett county, Md, and Miss Velma
Wilt, of Westernport, march up the
aisle to the altar, where they were
married by the pastor of the church,
Rev. +. It. Mowbray. Messrs. Victor
Kalbaugh and James Martin acting
as ushers. Miss Wilt is lady well
known in the tri-towns, being an ac-
tive worker in the Sunday school and
church in which she was married, and
an energetic worker in the W. G. T.
o., aud other kindred organizations. ."

Profits of Fire Insurance.

The committee on insurance of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation of Hagerstown, has prepared
a statement showing that the insur
ance companies have made a clear
profit of 100000 during the years of
1S9S-1901 on Hagerstown business.
The premiums paid during the four
years amounted to 100000, while the
losses paid were about $4,000, and
commissions to agents $32, 200. This
statement will be used by the associa-
ton in a further effort to have the
insurance companies restore the old
rates in Hagerstown.

A special meeting of the Town
Council was held on Thursday night
of last week for the purpose of recon-
sidering the resolution adopted at the
meeting held on Monday night pre-
vious ordering improvements made to
Oak and Second streets whereby
neither of the streets named were to
be paved-simply graded and curb
ing set for distance of two blocks on
each. At this meeting nothing was
accomplished owing to a deadlock
three councilmen-Messrs Dixon,
Hamill and Fleming opposing recon-
sideration and Messrs. Loar, Bolden
and Mitchell favoring such action.
At the meeting Monday night a
compromise was affected. A numer-
ously signed petition was presented
to the Council asking that Liberty
street be paved from the intersection
of Second to the B. g. o. station.
Favorable action was taken on the
petition to certain extent and it was
decided to pave that street from the
corner of Second street to point
twenty feet west of the Burke lot.
1t was also agreed to extend the paw
ing on Second street to the north
corner of the Garrett Memorial
church and to grade and curb that
street distance of two blocks from
the Opera House corner. Oak street
will also be graded and curbing set on
the block east of Thomas Little's
store property.
With these improvements COM
pleted the town will present an alto
gether changed appearance and the
members of the Council are to be
congratulated upon the settlement of
this much vexed question.
Mr.. II. Kennedy, of Parkersburg,
w. Va, who did the paving in former
years, is expected here shortly and
will bring with him a number of
Anstrians who will constitute the
laboring force to do the work of grad
ing and paying.
1t is presumed that on Oak and
Second streets where the grading and
curbing has been ordered done prop
erty owners whose lots abut on those
streets will be compelled under the
existing ordinance to lay brick OF
other substantial pavements.
Mayor Frear has been kept busy
since his induction into office answer
ing correspondence relative to the in
stallation of a system of water works
throughout the town. His cores
pondents are located in all sections
of the country. H. G.. Frederick, OF
Millersburg. Pa, has written Mr..
Frear upon the subject and expects
to arrive in Oakland next Tuesday
evening. The following day he will
inspect the country hereabouts with
view to obtaining a sufficient sup.
ply of water and at special meeting
of the Council to be held on Wednes.
day night next, if everything can be
arranged to the satisfaction of all
parties concerned, contract will be
entered into whereby the town will
be enabled to secure water for domes.
tic as well as public uses.
Mr.. L. Il. Yoder, of Pittsbnrg, Pa,
has also submitted proposition to
the town to install water works, which
is quite reasonable and which will
also be given consideration by the
authorities.

HANNA'S PLEA FOR RATHBONE.
He Calls In Senator Spooner to Argue Be
fore Roosevelt.

He Calls In senator SpoOner to Argue Be
fore Roosevelt.
Senator NJ. A. Hanna has begun an
energetic campaign to secure the par
don of E. &. Rathbone, convicted of
postal frauds at Havana and now I'M
der 10 years sentence.
Accompanied by Senator Spooner,
he called on the President late Friday
afternoon and presented a petition
asking for Rathbone's pardon and
the granting of a new trial, which
the Senator hopes may be held in the
United States. This petition was a
long legal document prepared by
counsel whom the Senator has EN-
plOyed in behalf of Rathbone, and
sets forth reasons for asking a par
don.
Senator Spooner made an argument
before the President at the request of
Senator Hanna and pointed out al
legged flaws in the indictment and
findings which he believed should re-
suit in setting aside the verdict The
interview between the President and
the two Senators lasted nearly two
hours. A decision by the President
on the appeal is expected in a few
days.
The subject had been brought to
the attention of the Cabinet earlier
in the day, the records in the case be-
ing in the War Department. 1t is
said Senator Hanna's activity is based
on the fact that when the evacuation
of Cuba takes place, May 30, the
Presidents authority in the islands
will cease.

ANOTHER OIL WELL.
United Oil Company Opens An
other Producer.

The United Oil company has
struck a big body of oil in we'll
No. 279, near Villa msburg. When
struck the oil came up in the hole
more than 900 feet. Oil was
opened in this well about three
weeks ago and it looked then as if
the company had producer, but
the streak proved too small to pay
and the well Was deepened consid
erably and the effort WAS well
remunerated
Those who have seen the we'll
say that it promises to be one of
the largest in the field, and it is
probable that 1t will produce from
l5O to 200 barrels per day. OF
course this is only supposition, as
the capacity of any well cannot be
determined until it is put to pump
ing, and even then it cannot be
definitely determined for about
thirty days, as during that time
the oil either diminishes or in
creases.
But be it small producer or a
large one the company is assured
of practically new district, as
there are no producing wells in
close proximity to 279.
The Florence Oil company is
drilling two wells on the park neer
Black Dog mountain. One of the
wells is quite deep and it is ex-
pected that oil will be drilled into
within few days
The Oil Well Supply company
today sold string of tools to O.
&. Henry, of Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Henry represents an oil com
pany which will drill on Fountain
creek
The cold weather the last few
days has interfered somewhat with
drilling operations in the oil field
The water freezes and impedes the
progress of the drill.
