Lynn Heights, father of Mr.. Joseph
Murphy, of Oakland, fell from the

A new train Of parlor and chair cars
went through Oakland to the east
over the b. & O. Friday morning. 1t
was one of the handsomest trains that
has gone through for years. The cars
were made in the Pullman Company's
shops and will be used on trains run
ming into New York. 1t is said to be
the intention of the B. & o. to i'm
prove its ear service as rapidly as
possible. All the through trains will
be made of new cars in the near future.

Lutheran congregation and the fol-

family to Oakland within "a short
time and occupy the parsonage, which
will be put in thorough order.
We direct attention to-day TO the
statement of the financial condition
of the town published in another col
umn of THE REPUBLICAN. The show
ing made therein is away ahead of
any previous statement and shows a
net cash balance in the treasury of
$771 aside from $3.50 set aside as a
sinking fund. During the year some
thing over $4,000 was expended for
permanent improvement, all of which
has been paid, leaving a balance in
the street Improvement fund of about
$50. The finances of the town are in
excellent condition which should be a
source of congratulation for every
tax payer and citizen of Oakland.
