Death of n Prominent Citizen,


The many friends of Conrad F. Nickel
the wellknown furniture merchant
were panied Monday to hear of his
death, which occurred at 12l., o'clock
that morning.
A sudden attack of pneumonia, ter
minating i'll neuralgia of the heart, was
the cause of death.
Mr.. Nickel was born in Wurtzburg,
Germany, December %, 1917. and died
i'll his 56th year. He came to this county
in 1866 and first worked in the Butler
Furniture Works, Cumberland. In
1873 he joined the late Frederick Gross
in business, which prospered until 1881,
when the firms factory was destroyed
by fire. Undaunted, business was re-
sumed in frame building on Union
street and Il few years later this was
burned down down and out. On the
site thus vacated he built the present
brick structure, and this was partly de-
mOlished by the great tornado of 1891.
Since the last mishap nothing has oc-
Cured to break the tenor of his busl-
ness.
Mr.. Nickel was the founder of the
German Arion Band in 1871, an organ
ization which at once took the lead in
its line, and for many years he had been
a member and hoir-leader of the Ger
man Lutheran church.
He was a member of the Royal Area
mum, knights of Pythias and Knights
of Malta.
In politics republican, he was
elected IA county commissioner i'll 1891
and served two years. Was town Coun
Gilman one term and Mayor three terms.
In official position he was attentive and
industrious.
Miss Margaret Hartman became his
wife October 81, 1871, and of seven
children who came to them two sur

Called and Recalled.

Judges Boyd and Williams signed an
order Monday directing the re-conven-
ton of the April grand jury Monday,
August "a, and the April petit jury,
Monday, August 81.
This action was taken on account of
an over-crowded Jail.
Tuesday, however, the order was re-
voked, mainly because, as stated by the
court
Notice was received by the court this
morning that one of the grand jurors for
the April term died IN the last day or two
Owing to the peculiar provisions of the Act
of 1900, Chapter 81, it is at least doubtful
whether the proceedings of the April grand
jury, if re-convened now, during the July
term, would be valid unless all were present
at the beginning of the adjourned term
This statute requires the court to fill any
vacancy, but fails to provide any method
for doing So The court therefore thought
it too doubtful to justify the expense of a
special term, and to have any question
about the validity of grand jury which
was to investigate a number of important
cases.

Tho Call for Good Men.

Judge Boyd found a provision Ill
Chapter 81, Acts of 1900, that he char
acterized as peculiar"
1t seems the Act provides for recon-
vening grand and petit Jurles but 1ails
to make good any way of filling vacancies
that occur meanwhile.
This Act is not alone in the category OF
unfinished laws.
There is one which declares that III
the absence of the Mayor of Frostburg
President of Council may be elected who
can do everything the Mayor can tex
cept sign ordinances" Yet there is an
ordinance, unsigned by the Mayor i'll
force because the attorney holds that
there is no express power given by law
even to the Mayor to sign ordinances.
The fact is, the towns ordinances are
law if so desired, and not law if so
wanted.
The laws taxing stockholders of county
corporations both in and out of the coun-
ty need amendment.
he 'luduNtIJt1lCt Ido toot
the county over $1,000 for Cumberland
election expenses should be corrected.
The "perfect" mining law, last passed,
modelled on explosive gas conditions, is
said to need changes.
The law providing for the election OF
a clerk to commissioners for all time
needs mortal-tenure modification.
Last, not least, the primary election
law demands revision to the prescrip-
ton, say for this year, of 1913 delegates
to party conventions, each dc'"gdtc "ih
one rote, NO MORE!
All the laws named are achievements
of recent delegations to Annapolis, com
posed of men who, with no higher than
hobby, local or petty objects in view,
have been unable or unwilling to con-
slider for moment the effect of such
legislation when it is found to run
counter to the established code.
The lesson is plain to all, never palmer
than now to the democratic party.
Nominate five strong, able, intelligent
careful men for the House of Delegates,
including at least one lawyer of same
standard.
This after havingin convention pledg"d
them to the reform of all statutory alb
surdities, removal of all formulary con-
tradictions, and repeal of all discrimi-
mating enactments.

and Jessica, relieved from her stralnea position, was about to throw the mort gage into the fire, which burned bright ly in the open grate Before she could accomplish her purpose Darlington was upon her and ere Harold could interfere he had grasped her roughl. by the shoulder. Her light dress brushed across the coals and In an in- stant her slight, girlish figure was in flames
 Harold sprang toward her and the rubber band sprang toward the ceil- ing. Scrfbner left Jessica blazing mer- rily away while he climbed down four flights of stairs to purchase some more bands
 With the second elastic in place he quickly extinguished the flames with Harold's invaluable assistance. Then 1t all came out that Harold was the rightful heir to the Darlington for tune and that Jack Darlington was an imposter. Harold married Jessica and gave Darningfon 8 sand dollars to go west with and start life over again.
 They were back from the wedding and in their happy home Harold Vane enfolded his wife in his loving arms He led her to the mantel on which lay the fateful paper with which Darning- ton had threatened them.
