MISSING MAN.
Police In Receipt o.
Letter From Memphis.


The police are in receipt of letter
from Memphis, Tenn, written by Mrs.
Fred Reed of that place, and inquir-
ing after the whereabouts of Joseph
Haley, who came to this city from
there in 1900. Mrs. Reed states that
Haley would now be % years of age,
and has not been heard from since
1900, when it was noticed in an Ak
ron paper that a man of the same
name and description was injured in
the accident ON the Rapid Transit
railway, when gravel car broke
away ON the hill above the fair
grounds, and several men were injur-
ed. The writer states that Haley's
father is near death, and wants to see
his son.
The police have thus far been unable
to locate Haley.

charge of assault and battery. Cop

Trenton, N. j., May 2.--Despondent
because his beauty was spoiled by
smallpox marks, John Fitzpatrick took
a mirror and examining his face, said
to his wife: MARY, how do look?'
She consoled him and Fitzpatrick
went up stairs, took bath, shaved
himself, put on clean clothing through

"Mary, I have taken arsenic. I could
not stand having such. awful face as

The woman shieked for assistance
and a physician was summoned, but
he arrived too late.
Fitzpatrick was an extremely hand

A BOLD ROBBERY.
The School Board Office Entered and a
Sum of Money Taken.

The School Board Office Entered and a
Sum of Money Taken.
The Office of the Garrett County
School Board was entered some time
during last week by some unknown
person. The thief was evidently a
boy as the prints of small rubber
shoe on the wall shows the manner of
ingress and is evidence also of the
size of the transgressor. A sum of
money amounting to about SO was
taken from the drawer of a desk in
office.
At the time the robbery was COM
mitted Examiner Ed A. Browning
was down in the lower districts of the
county visiting schools and the theft
was not discovered until his return
here on Sunday.
Entrance to the Board room was
effected through the transom in the
hallway of the Ravenscroft building
where the Office is located, the tran
som being forced from its position by
some instrument. In the drawer of
the desk from which the money was
extracted Mr.. Browning kept the re-
ceipts from the sale of books. About
IS had accumulated, being in pa
per and small coins. The thief did
not secure the whole amount con-
tanned in the receptacle as three one
dollar bills were left in the drawer
and "a cents in dimes and pennies
found scattered over the desk by Mr..
Browning, the guilty person having
evidently been frightened and left
the office hurriedly.

The Injunction Dissolved.

The injunction case of King and
others against M. R. Hamill, which
was instituted some weeks ago in the
Circuit Court for Garrett county by
which the complainants sought to re-
strain the respondent from erecting a
stable on the rear of his lot facing on
Centre street and opposite the resi-
dence of Mr.. King, has been decided
by Judge Williams in favor of Mr..
Hamill.
The ground upon which the case
was instituted was that there was
town ordinance in force -forbidding
the erection of stable or like build
ings within a distance of twenty feet
of any street in the town. The case
was argued before Judge Ferdinand
Williams, in chambers, by Attorney
Thomas J. Peddicord, representing
the compliments, and Attorney E.
H. Sincell for the respondent. The
Court requested the attorneys to sub
nit the case on brief, which was done,
and on Monday morning Clerk Tower
received from Judge Williams his de-
cision in the matter, which, briefly
stated, dismisses the bill, dissolves
the injunction and orders the COM
plainants to pay the costs.
The grounds upon which the Court
based his opinion were two, namely;
The building complained of not being
in it's nature a nuisance in itself, the
mere fact that an ordinance sought
to prevent it's erection will not enable
equity to restrain it's erection by an
injunction; that the ordinance of 1892
under which the injunction was
sought was null and void inasmuch
that at the time of its passage by the
Mayor and Town Council of Oakland
the Legislature had not given the
Mayor and Town Council of Oakland
power to enact such an ordinance,
nor was this power conferred upon
them until the year 1895, nor has
there been an ordinance of such a
character enacted since the latter
date.
Mr.. Hamill, although somewhat de-
layed in making the contemplated
improvements at his home, will re-
sumo the erection of the building at
once.
LATER.-Since the above was put
in type an order has been entered in
the clerks Office for an appeal from
Judge Williams decision and the case
will go to the Court of Appeals.

A total allowance of about s250oo0 was
made by Congress for the work between
Belair Heights and the observatory circle.
This included s235. coo for the bridge and
filling, 81. 200 for the purchase of the ground
in the creek bed and about $4,000 for grad

of the land donated for Massa chusetts ave-

able amount of grading done at private ex-
pense.
The contract was given to the firm OF CO.

today. In the sense that they afford a pre-
car!ous footway across Rock creek the
culvert and fill are now practically conn
plets. But the cut through the rock and
clay. the broadening of the fill for practical
use, and the general task of unifying the

AUTOS HURT ROAD HOUSES.
They Are Said to Be Driving the
Horsemen Off the Country Roads.

From the New York Sum-
There are dark days ahead for many Of
the road houses on the principal highways
leading out from this city in all directions
ana according to the proprietors, the
trouble is due to the automobiles largely.
Road houses first came into being when
the highways were used by travellers in
stage coaches or on horseback. Manv of
the houses built at that period are still
standing, and are well-known landmarks
When the railroads came into existence
some of the road houses went out of busi
ness.
A few years ago when cycling was a
craze prosperous times came for the wav-
side inns. The old-time houses were not
able to accommodate all the people who
came their way, and hundreds of new inns
were erected. Then cycling went out of
fashion over night, and many innkeepers
found expensive establishments on their
hands, with no patronage except that de-
rived from the driving public.
Road driving began to pick up year or
SO ago, and the road house proprietors be-
gan to take roseate view of the future as
their receipts increased. There was more
money In one driver than in several cy-
clists. But at this turn in the tide of the
hotol owners affairs the automobiles be-
gan to whizz and snort past their places.
The result has been to scare the road
drivers away, the innkeepers say Men
have either abandoned driving altogether
or have sought the back roads or highways
where they are free from the annoyances
of the automobiles. Their patronage is lost
to the hotel keepers. The owners of the
autos give them compromising patron
age
The proprietor of one road house sat on
the front veranda of his place the other
night having absolutely not hing to do. For
many years his house was popular resort
in Queens county. In the summer time II
was always thronged with visitors. In
speaking of the conditions that have over
taken men Of his business he said:
I'VE had good thing of it when cycling
was all the CO. When that died out we
missed the cyclists, but driving picked M.
and we could have made out on what we
got from the horsemen. But the automo-
blists are putting us out of business.

roads. and they themselves seldom stop

building operations are not of great magni-
tude. Out of twenty-three cities thirteen
show gains, while there were losses in ten.
The heavy increases were in San Francisco
amounting to 163 per cent; Los Angeles, 100
per cent, indicating that the coast cities are
enjoying period of unusual activity, Allie

showing decreases have for long time en-
Joyed unusual prosperity in the building
trades and it is but natural that there
should be slight reaction at this time,
Inc prospects for an active fall in the
building trades were never better. In Wash
