in our yearly municipal expenditures
is the repair of unpaved streets. Some
of these streets for considerable por-
ton of the year are well-nigh impass-
able. You will doubtless admit that a
good road must have rounding, solid
centre with bitches well open at the
sides. Your inspection of the various
approaches within the corporation at
the present time will disclose a con-
dition exactly opposite, and to
overcome this difficulty and make a
start in the right direction l would
recommend the purchase of moder-
ate size stone crusher for the use of the
corporation. The benefit would am
ply justify the expenditure.
The two iron bridges within the cor
poration require immediate attention
for their preservation and thorough,
workmanlike job should be exacted of
the party to whom the work is entrus-
ted.
Reckless driving oyer and against
the stone curbing so as to injure the
same should be prohibited and made
punishable by fine.
All dead wires should be removed
from the streets and notice should be
served on the owners of same requir-
ing immediate action.
a tax on dogs should be made to
furnish needed revenue and recon-
mend that an effective ordinance be
enacted to accomplish this.
The planting of shade trees within
our own is of very great benefit and
Importance and Iurge your encour-
agement of this kind.
The removal of tho paDStOcty n + tho
east end of town to a point near the
planning mill can no doubt be accom-
plished if called to the attention of
the railroad officials.
The cleaning of our paved streets,
placing new crossings where needed
drainageof the paved portion of Liber-
ty Street, are matters requiring your
careful attention.
The meetings of the Council are at
present held in quarters wholly unde-
sirable and uninviting and | again
urge that new chambers be selected
with surroundings more attractive.
The summer influx of visitors to our
town speaks we'll for the attractive
ness of this locality, but hope to see
some movement started wherein in
dustries may be induced to locate here
cial encouragement be given to the
organization of live Board of Trade.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted. H. J. FREAR,
Mayor.
1t was ordered that bids be submit
ted for the printing and binding of

A Strong Document Touching Upon
the Needs of the Town
SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL MOkDAYsNIGHT
Proceedings of That Body-Appointments
of the Mayor Confirmed Franchise
Granted the Garrett County Telephone
Company With Restrictions-SaIaries
of Policemen Raised.

The second meeting of the new
town council was held last Monday
evening at which among other mat
tiers the Mayors message was read,
his appointments confirmed and rou-
tine business transacted.
The full board was present and was
called to order by President Dixon.
The street commissioner was in
structed to clean Second street at
the interse elton of Alder and to keep
it clean during the building opera
tions now being carried on by the
First National Bank, which is COM
mendable move, as mud almost shoe
top deep has covered that portion of
the two streets for some time past.
A motion was adopted prohibiting
the paving contractor from using
other material than sand in which to
lay the brick to be put down along
Second and Oak streets.
A number of platforms in the east
ern end of town were ordered repaired
by the property owners.
The franchise of the Garrett County
Telephone Company which has for
some time been occupying the atten-
ton of the past as well as present
council, was then taken up, read and
granted. The franchise contains
many provisions and restrictions,
among which may be mentioned the
immunity of the town from any dam
age resulting from broken wires; no
poles are to be erected except at
points to be designated by the coun-
Gil and if a property owner objects
the telephone people are prohibited
from planting their poles in front of
the property thus affected. Within
three years the wires are to be placed
in cables along the main streets of
the town if so ordered by the council.
AS the Maryland, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania Telephone Com
pany has not yet been chartered the
franchise asked for by its representa-
tives was not considered.

Letter. to r. c. Townshend.

Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint
ing house is three times the cost of
the paint. You seem to save little
when you buy a lower priced paint,
but you certainly add to the cost of
labor when you pay for spreading
more gallons.
You don't even save on the paint.
Deyoe Lead and Zinc costs a little
more than mixed paints, but it takes
fewer gallons, and the cost is actual
ly less.
Wears longer too-longer than mix
ed paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save a cent.
Mr.. G. Loeb, painter in Magnolia
Miss, writes:
After years of experience with mix
ed paints, find that your paint
covers more suface to the gallon than
any | have ever used. For density
and wearing qualities it cannot be ex-
celled.
Compared with lead and oil house
belonging to the late President of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewsters, N.
Y, (cost $31 ,O00 was painted with
lead and oil in "a at cost of $4OO
In '87-three years it was repainted
with Devoe at cost of $3.50. In '97
the house was still all right.

DIR. ]. A. FULLERTON MAKES CHARGES.
He Alleges That He Has Been DETAINED BY
A Prominent Churchman.

"A prominent Cnurchman.
The Rev. DR.. j. A. Fullerton, a
prominent divine of the Methodist
Episcopal church who a number of
years ago was in charge of the Oak
land NJ. E. church, has preferred char
ges against Martin VanBuren,
Hurst, one of the leading members
of Golf Methodist Episcopal church,
at Clarksburg. The minister accuses
Mr.. Hurst of Lying, false accusation
and SANDER" The charges have been
filed with the pastor, Rev. S. X. Ar
buth not, and he has received them
in obedience to the rules and forms of
the denomination. A church trial
will follow on or about April %, the
papers having been served on Mr..
Hurst to that effect. This action on
the part of Rev. DR.. Fullerton is
based upon the alleged conversation
of Mr.. Hurst on the street at Clarks.
burg, in which, it is stated, the latter
accused, or rather asserted, the minis
ter of drunkenness and added that he
had to be hauled home in cab cleo
ton night. The day prior to the elec-
ton day DR.. Fullerton came out in a
letter expressing gratitude to Mayor
Grille, the Republican nominee, for
kindness shown. Hurst, who oppos-
ed Crile's candidacy, objected to the
publication of the letter, and the de-
nurciation is said to have followed.
DR.. Fullerton is one of the brainy
men of the denomination, and is wide
ly known throughout the West Vir-
ginia conference. The, affair is at
tracing much attention and an effort
may be made to end it without a
church trial.

A BRIDGE WANTED AT BLOOMINGTON.
Citizens of That Town Urge the Erection
of Such Structure.

Citizens of That Town Urge the Erection
of Such a Structure.
Tuesday morning Messrs. William
Moody, John Miller and Goodman
Howard, representative citizens OF
Bloomington, this county, appeared
before the Board of, County Commits
sioners and urged.upon that body the
Importance of the erection of bridge
spanning the Potomac river at Bloom
ington and leading over intoour neigh
Dor state, West Virginia.
Some forty-five years ago bridge
built jointly by the counties of ALLIE
gany and Mineral, was swept away by
high waters. This structure was
never rebuilt or any effort made to re-
place it until about twenty years ago
when Mr.. Moody in company with DR..
E. H. Parsons and Michael Wolf, went
before the Commissioners with quite
a lengthy petition" according to the
files of THE REPUBLICAN of July, 1882,
from the citizens of Bloomington
praying the Commissioners for an
appropriation toward erecting q
bridge across the Potomac at that
place. Their only manner of ac-
cess to West Virginia is by the
b. Il o. railroad bridge which has
two tracks on it and is extre melv
dangerous for pedestrians, especially
when two trains happen to meet on
it, which frequently occurs. The riv-
er is not forbade for horses or yehic-
les one-half the year and since the
building of the West Virginia Cen
trail Railroad up the river the build
ing of bridge has become absolute
ly necessary"
Although twenty-one years have
passed since the committee first ap-
peared before the Board of Commits
sioners the bridge has meyer been err
ected Notwithstanding the fact that
it has been daily required and as a
result a number of persons have been
killed by using the railroad bridge
and one or two persons have been
drowned in an effort to ford the river.
1t may be stated, however, that at
the time the first committee laid the
matter before the Commissioners an
appropriation of $1,000 was made
with which to begin the work but for
some cause nothing was done at the
time nor since. The Commissioners
appreciate the position of the people
of Bloomington and may make an ap-
preparation at the present meeting of
the Board. The bridge will cost in
the neighborhood sof 5000, one-half
of which amount will be born by the
West Virginia residents, provided
the Commissioners of Mineral county
are willing to accede to the requests
of their constituents

KICKED BY A HORSE
And as a Result Norman Speicher, of Ac-
cident, Loses His Life.

Norman Speicher, aged about II
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
Speicher, prominent and well-to-do
residents of near Accident, this coun-
tY, was kicked by a horse in his
fathers barn last Thursday about
noon and died the same night at 10 80
o'clock.
The young man was staying with
his sister, Mrs. Charles Guthrie,
during his parents absence who were
visiting Mr.. Joseph Speicher at Noun
tain Lake Park, and on Thursday at
noon went from his sisters house to
the barn at home to feed the stock
and while thus engaged one of the
horses kicked striking him in the fore
head above his eye and fracturing his
skull. His sister, thinking that he was
engaged in doing some work about
the family home, did not go at once in
search of him but not returning to
supper she went to the barn and
found the young man lying uncoun-
scious near the horse which inflicted
the fatal kick. Drs. McComas and
Legge, of Oakland, we're notified of the
accident shortly afterward and in re-
Spouse to a telephone message went to
Accident to render surgical aid but
death ensued shortly after their arri-
val and before they could be of any
service. The young man remained
unconscious from the time he receiv-
ed the injury until he was relieved by
death.
His funeral tc ok place last Friday
afternoon from the Dunkard church
at Accident.
