A meet of the citizens of Rockvill,

lowing resolution passed:
That the Washington and Rockville Rail
way be allowed to enter the town. pro"jdco
II is cLteHlCd 10 the ertTrIic WcSfeTH limits: that
if the company agrees to enter the town
upon fair conditions the bill now before the
Legislature requiring the company to reduce
its fare between the District of Columbia
line and Rockville from 20 to II cents will
not be pushed, but will be allowed to sleep
that an ordinance he passed, which will pro
tect the property rights of the citizens of the
town.
Rockville, with about one-tifth the
population of Frostburg. wants an cX-
tension similar to that wished here, dnd

Because the towns people have the
enterprise to move and the spunk to lay
down the fair conditions under which
the company will be permitted to center
the town.
Why cannot Frostburg people meet
and unite i'll similar expression of
popular welcome, "prorided," etc?

Town Politics.

The republican primary of last Satur-
day evening was an unusually quiet
affair. But one ticket was offered and
that received only about l2O votes.
The result, however, is IL good ticket,
as follows:
For -Ndyor-Gcorgc &. Townsend.
Foj. CouJ,ciim0n-IIorace G. Evans. }. c.
Yungerman and Noah Skidmore.
The committee appointed to submit a
ticket to the citizens at Meats hall
Tuesday evening did SO.
After several disagrccments a ballot
was taken and the following gentlemen
were declared nominated:
FOR .N0yor-George Jones.
For Conhciinct-IIorace G.. Evans, Silas
W. Duggan and Henry Mayer.
Mr.. Jones has been both Mayor and
Councilman; Mr.. Evans is fortunate in
beinga republican nominee; Mr.. Duggan
has been Councilman, and Mr.. Mayer
is reported as averse to enjoyment of
municipal honors.
The JOURNAL is credibly informed,
and, like Mr.. Harte, it is
Really greved to relate
That the balot-boX was stuffed
Until it became all pulled
III way tlldl was great.
Otherwise it is averred that Mr.. Jones,
who is defendant i'll the street paving
suits, would not have been nominated.
Considerable dissatisfaction has re-
suited, therefore, and even republicans
have gone So far as to suggest to demo-
Gratis to put upa straight ticket, pledged
to maintain the original agreement be-
tween the town and those who petitioned
for the paving to be done.
The miX-up has become so complex
that ii is II pity the town cannot abrogate
the glorious doctrine of "hOme rule
long enough to have some State authority
appoint Il Mayor and Council to serve
until the people qualify themselves again
for government.
So far the JOURNAL does not favor nor
oppose either ticket, but 1t has its doubts,
one of which is-there was and is no call
for "old blood in Council. Mr. Jones
as Mayor will occupy an anomalous
position as prosecutor and defender of
his right to load the expense of his paw
ing account on the town as whole.
And Mr.. Duggan, charged with max
ing the motion which made the town a
whistling station on the electric road, Is
not in good position to make the com
pany ''belt the town, or go out.
The following ticket is submitted by a
gentleman who believes sit will meet all
objections to the others
FOR Ndyor-Dr. W. o. McLane.
For observation-disclosures Evans Charles
+. Tucker and George krause.

Joseph Lee and William Adams,
colorcd, had a joint debate about two
weeks ago, but no referee or umpire
audited the points, consequently, no
game. Saturday evening, however, the
two again met on Broadway near the
new sign of the Homecoming STIR of
FrostburG, when Gen. Lee, armed with
"A stone, executed flank movement and
let the artillery go The first and
only shot took effect near one of Mr..
Adams eyes, silenced that optic and put

Restored subsequently to in SfntU qno

who heard the case and taxed the gen

The Big Savage Fire Brick Company
began operating their plant, located at
Alicganv, about Il mile from town, about
two weeks ago and the results so far
have been most pleasing to all concerned.
In fact, the absence of jar and friction,
usual with the operation of new ma
ChiuCry, has been almost complete, all
going like clock work from the start.
The full daily capacity of the works
will be an output of $1,000 fire. brick, and
indications warrant the expectation that
the limit will be required at an early day.
The cost of the plant at this time is
$4,000, and the approximate cost of
completing the equipment is $40 ,OOO alto
gether at least 100000, making the
largest business or industrial corporation
i'll Frostburg.
The equipment comprises every essen
tial to complete operation, and every
piece of machinery is of modern type.
These comprise one dry and one wet
pan, with elevators and cOnveyOrs; one
$50 horse power boiler; one l25-horse-
power boiler; one hoisting engine, with
over , miles of wire rope, and one large
engine at the plant.
The main building is l00x150 feet, and
the kiln structure 15Xl15 feet.
The engine plane from plant to mines
is over , miles long, with ) curves, and
laid with 3o-pound rails. In short, the
transportation power is six times as
great as the consuming capacity of the
plant.
The clay found at the terminus of the
tunnel across measures is the old amt
tricd Big Savage" vein, the best re.
fractory clay i'll the United States.
The company will employ from - to
100 men and boys at mines and plant, a
pleasing reflection for all concerned in
the perpetuity of business and com
mercial interests in Frostburg.
The executive management is centred
here, and the directorate otherwise is
comprised of gentlemen of known bust
ness acumen and success, as follows:
ID. Armstrong of Frosburg, President
II. f. Weber, of Cumberland, Nlce-Presi-
dent ID. A. Benson, of FroStburg, Secretary
and Treasurer; j. n. Benson, of Frostburg,
General Manager; David Sloan. of Lonacon-
ing; f. =. Mckenna, +. A. Buckholtz, II
II. Dickey of Cumberland, and Otto Frey,
of lttsburg.
