HOW 1T WAS SOLD.

The property was offered for sale in
New York. Southern railway interests
were willing to pay $4,000, 900 for the
control, provided an option was given,
and investigation revealed the fact that
it was worth that amount. The con-
Germ was in urgent need of money,
however, and Mr.. Garter made bid
for the two properties. He offered
g., 500, 900 cash. Several additional
attempts were made to sell the control
at higher figures, but it was finally de-
cided at meeting of the Clinchfeld
corporation to accept the bid Of Mr..
Carter. A contract was thereupon
made and the money was paid over,
and Mr.. Garter received the assets of
the holding company. Practically at
the same iuncture when II was known
that contract had been made for the
sale OF the property the Zimmerman
party began to buy in the outstanding
stock of the Clinchfeld corporation.
A majority was obtained, and an effort
was then made to set aside the sale Of
the two essential assets.
1t subsequently developed that Mr.
Carter, having obtained control, solo

AGGRESSIVE EFFORT.


1t developed yesterday, however,
that the Southern railway is making an
aggressive effort to capture the South
and Western railroad and the 49,
acres OF coal lands of the Cranes Nest
Coal company. For this purpose it
has bought through banking syndi-
cate a majority of the stock Of the
Clinchfield corporation, but the assets
of that corporation have been sold. No
losses will be sustained, however, for
the money received from the sale Of
the coal lands an railroad will be di-
vided among the stockholders, of which
the Southern railway syndicate is now
the largest holder.
The fight over the control OF the
Clinchfeld corporation is of recent
origin, but the formation Of that con-
Germ dates back to the receivership OF
the Union Trust company Of Balti
more, which failed nearly two years
ago.
It was found that the Union Trust
company had secured an option on the
properties OF the railroad and the Goa
lands and was attempting to develop
them through syndicate of which the
Trust company was the manager
When failure overlook the Trust com
pany, it was found that the two prop
critics had contracts TO fulfil which re
quired immediate funds. Syndicate
participants did not pay up their allot
ments and it was decided to sell tht
property. For this purpose the Clinch
field corporation was formed which
held the shares Of the railroad and tn,
coal company. Ono of the directors o
this corporation was George L. Garter
who was familiar with the enterpris
aud had q substantial interest in th
two properties. He turned ever addi

NO COMPUTATION
Members of Band Have Been
Cut So Per Month

Great CONSERVATION has been Great
ed among the members of the Naval
Academy band by the decision of the
assistant comptroller of the treasury.
The members of the band who are
very poorly paid few of them receive
over $l.04 per day have for many
years been granted IS per month in
addition to their pay as quarter com
mutation in order to pay house rent.
Under the decision this commuta-
tion cannot be made and the men
many of whom are married with fam
lilies will have to make use of the
quarters provided for single men at
the Naval Academy on board the
Santee. The s. per month has been a
great aid to the men and the new rul-
ing will compel many of them to give
up their positions.
1t is claimed by those who ought TO
know that the ruling was made for
the purpose of getting all of the mem
bers of the band to enlist which would
bring their wages up to $45 per month
with rations.

And Faithful Service In
Roman Catholic
(-I.---.I
Church

Today. May 20th the Rev. Father
Augustine J. Mclnerney, q. IS. n.
celebrated the thirgieth anniversary ii
his ordination TO the Priesthood.
Father Melnerney was horn in New
York city November S. 1873. made his
religious profession December s. 1867
in the Convent Chapel of Annapolis
and was raised to the dignity of the
Priesthood on May 90. 1879. at Ilches.
ter, Md. the Seminary of the Re.
demptorist order.
For smauy years Father McInernev
was employed in preaching missions
he was rector of ST. Mary's Church. this
city. from May. 1884, to June. 1887.
During his wise administration st.
Mary's Church underwent extensive
interior repairs until it became the
magnificent church edifiee in which

Father Mclnerney was also rector OF

UNCLE SAM and CITY DADS.
The City Claims That Licenses
Should Be Secured BY
Drivers of Mail
Wagons

A clash between the city and Fed
eral authorities which will probably
result in police officer being jailed
by the Federal authorities will he
piecipitated within the next few days.
The contention, which will bring
about the clash is along lines identi.
cal with those which were hashed
out in Baltimore recently.
Several days ago. in conversation
with Alderman Williams and Counsel
lor Riley il was stated by Chief Of
Police Hahn that he had ordered the
two rural mail carriers who come into
Annapolis daily to secure city licenses
for their rigs. This they refused to
do. Counsellor Riley advised Chief
Hahn to make the arrest in the event
of the men refusing to comply with
the ordinance and that the city
would back him up.
It became known that Postmaster
Tuck has stated that should either OF
the men be- arrested he would at once
place in Jail the man who arrested
them on the charge of interfering
with the movement of the mails. In
spite of this it is said that the arrests
will be made. In Baltimore the own :
ers of the delivery mail wagons which
carried the mail between the postoffi-
ces and the depots had refused to get
out licenses. They were arrested and
i'm long line taken before police
magistrate, who decided that they
must secure licenses.
They paid their fines, got out the
licenses and the issue was closed. 1t
is claimed by the postmaster that the
case here is entirely different, as the
men do not operate within the limits
of the city. but simply enter it for
the purpoee of getting the mail, and
that they do not come under the PRO-
visions of the ordinance which calls
for a license for every rig which is
operated in the city. Farmers who
bring truck into the city do not have
to secure Licenses. but if they engage
in the milk business, they have to
secure the permit.
Ii matte not whether they carry
the milk III huggy or "a wagon, the
ordinance eomp4ls a license TO be Sc
cured The police state positi vely
that the drivers of the two wagons,
one of whom makes single aud the
other double trip each day, will
be arrested.

When Miss Alice Roosevelt the much
courted daughter of President Roose-
velt alighted from the train of the Balti
more, Washington q Annapolis Rail
road at the West st. station this after
noon she was greeted by large crowd
as would have been present had the

clusively in yesterdays Capital.
Miss Roosevelt was met at the train
bv Mr.. and Mrs. J. p. Storey, of
whitehall, the residence of Governor
Horatio Sharpe, whose guest. at their
pleasant home she is to be for several
days. Eluding the large number of
interested spectators Miss Roosevelt
unassisted entered the carriage and
was driven rapidly away. The party
took in the boat race between the
Navy and Columbia and then proceed
ed by carriage to Whitehall. which is
about twelve miles from Annapolis.
There III is expected that she will
remain for several days.
Although the visit of Miss Roosevelt
to Whitehall had been expected for
some time, it is greatly regretted that
Miss Brownson, daughter of Admiral
Brownson, is in the east and that
Mrs. Brownson will leave next Mon
day, Efforts will be made to have
Miss Roosevelt remain over to the
closing exercises at the Naval Acad-
emy. to be held one week hence. To-
dav Miss Roosevelt was attired very
plainly and was said by several who
are supposed to be the ne plus ultra
eonnoisseurs in the matter of dress, to
look very attractive in a plain summer
costume in old rose with large hat.

FIREMEN MAY NOT GO
Contagious Disease May Inter
fere With Plans.

Ii was given out this morning that
the fire companies of this city would
NOT attend the State Firemen's con-
vention TO be held next month at Ha-
gerstown. A telegram has been le-
ceived from there stating there are a
number of cases-fourteen it is said,
of a contagious disease in the city of
Hagerstown, and il is not wise for
the health of Annapolis to have her
fire department attend the convention.
There may be some change In the
condition of affairs at Hagerstown be-
fore the date of the convention to
make it possible for the firemen to
attend. Today, in answer to tele-
gram and communication addressed
him by the firemen of Annapolis, the
Mayor of Hagerstown sent very sem
sible and comprehensive letter to Mr..
Harry Il. Brewer, of this city. In
his letter the Mayor states that there
are now but eleven cases of smallpox
in Hagerstown, and these are isolated
and in quarantine. He says there
have been no new cases developed in
the last fourteen DAYS, and he be-
lieyes the disease will be entirely
stapmed out before the date of the
convention.
The Mayor also SAYS that the people
of Hagerstown would not invite nor
permit people from other cities to SUBJ
ject themelves to contagion by COM
ing TO Hagerstown under existing cir
cumstauces. It is not thought the
conditions will be such as TO permit
th fireemen to attend the convention.
