One theory abroad is-the Electric

Hill and the State Normal School.
"Patience,' writes Mr.. Pink Whiskers

will have no use for the Belt Line, 1t
will either come or not come" Not

4 Brave Town.

The town authorities of Mt Vernon
n. Y, have passed an Ordinance pro-
hibiting the use of soft coal within cor
porate limits after August 10.
The big New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, however,
has paid no attention to it, as Is usual
with those creatures of the people
after the created gets bigger than the
creator.
But Mt. Vernon is on its mettle, and
the company has been served with the
following notice:
You are hereby notified that the Ordi-
nance will he strictly enforced. and II
within forty-eight hours the use of soft coal
within the corporation limits OF Mount
Vernon by your engine-drivers shall con
tlnue the most drastic methods VIII be
adopted to prevent it. There will be no
hesitation in taking your engine-driver from
any train and arraigning him for trial for
the violation of this Ordinance.
The authorities do not take into ac-
count the fact that their Ordinance
probably reaches to prohibition of the
use of soft coal on the entire system, or
to costly locomotive establishments on
each side of the town. "Their action,
the report states, might result i'll tying
up the entire Consolidated SYSTEM" but
they k"o" they have full power to stop
what they regard as a nuisance, and
they have the courage to do it.
To localiZe the moral of this instance
it is well known that the town of
Frostburg permits the Electric Railway
company to carry people about seven
teen times every day over section of
road within the corporate limits kno~"
to be dangerous to limb and life of the
hundreds who board the cars between
Hotel Gladstone and Chant street for the
Homecoming end of the road.
With such knowledge, is not the town
mourning liability that i'll an individual
would be criminal:
The thing TO do is-cOmpel the COM
pany to take up the Grant street chute
track and keep it unlaid until, i'll con-
nection with the Belt Line, a new and
safe connection can be made with the
Homecoming end.
1t must be within the power of the
town to do this, and if there is not Il
lawyer in the county who is not i'll some
way retained by the company, semi ont

Raley, of the Westernport team, was
lucky Tuesday. When he came to bat
he was recalled, several sacks of rice
poured over him, and the Club gave
him with clock. Then the umpire pre-

Thomas Dennison of Omaha has been

robbery and receiving stolen goods in
connection with the robbery of twelve
years ago of William l.. Pollock, of
$4,000 worth of diamonds. Pollock
is member of the wholesale firm of
Pollock & Son of New York. While
on his way from Omaha to Sioux City
he was slugged near Missouri Valle~
by man who demanded the diamonds
he carried in sample case. When he
refused to give them up the robber
slugged him twice and, snatch;ng the
case, jumped from the train and es-
capped. Later Frank Shercliffe was ar
rested and convicted CT the crime, re
ceiving a long penitentiary sentence.
1t was on Shercliffe's confession that
he committed the crime at the will OF
Thomas Dennison. from whom he re.
ceived $1,000 for his work, that Denni-
son was indicted.
