Hall given by Mrs. Handley's pupils
drew large audience, which was
treated to a most enjoyable entertain
ment The program was varied and
the pupils certainly demonstrated by
their playing splendid training. The
occasion was something out Of the Or
binary and the applause that greeted
the performers showed the deep ap
probation of those present. Among
those who sang beautifully were Miss
Nettie Poser and Mrs. Feltham, and
those who showed great proficiency on
the violin were Max Fishel, Miss Lii
lie Bailey and others. We had hoped
to give the entire program and the
names of all the participants in the

Electric Railroad News.

We are pleased to be able TO give our
readers the news that the work on the
electric road is progressing most salts
factoriy. The Executive committee has
been authorized to advertise for bids for
grading the road from Frederick to Lew
istown, and bids will be received up until
noon on September 4th for this work.
The surveys, with profiles, maps, etc,
have all been completed for this section,
and the Board of Directors on Saturday
last ordered the surveying corps to begin
on Monday next to complete the line from
Lewistown to Thurmont, and to take the
best route, either by the way of Catoctin
or by way of Eicholtz's MILL When this
survey is completed, bids for that section
will then be asked. 1t was deemed most
advisable by the Board of Directors that
the road be laid off in sections, and as
each section was completed, it could be
placed in operation and thus begin to ga
Their in some earnings while the next sec
ton was being completed. A few con-
demnation proceedings will have to be
resorted 70 between Frederick and Lew
istown some of which ought not to have
been as the railroad will be Of more ben
eft than it will be Of damage to these
farmers. AS whole, however, the peo-
pie have been fairly liberal, realizing that
this means SO much to the whole section
of country through which this railroad
will traverse.
Arrangements are now being perfected
by which the Enmitsburg end will be
taken up and pushed vigorously, as it is
the intention of the Board of Directors
to build this section just as soon as all
arrangements have been completed for
the building from Frederick to Thurmont.
The first call of 10 per cent. payment
on subscriptions to the capital stock has
been made, and from this time on it
means 'going right ahead" and those
who have been skeptical about the road
being built, will soon learn of the dirt
"fying," and that the prediction made
by us heretofore will most assuredly be-
come fact.

Mt. st. Mary's Items.

Since the month of May, the domestic
life of the mountain has received severe
shocks by the death of six of those that
were closely identified with the commu-
nifty during many years. Sarah A Peddi-
cord, Elizabeth Mcbride, Jas. Hampton
Taylor, Ann Turbin, Peter Shorb and
Zachary G. Breighner, are names that
have been familiar from childhood to the
rising generation, and that have been in
tmately associated with the long life of
the generation fast departing from our
midst. These good old people were in
their day interesting characters, and they
all stood for those solid virtues that our
young people will do well to emulate.
Those that have departed within the last
few months were remarkable for their
strict justice, steadfastness of purpose,
endurance Of hard labor, fondness of
home, tender affection for loved ones, and
practical charity towards their neighbors.
We record with sorrow the death of Pc
ter Shorb who died last Saturday, Aug.
18th at a. m. He was born near Phil
adelphia and came to the mountain about
forty years ago. Mr. Shorb was about
70 years of age. He is survived by his
wife whose maiden name was Rose Ros-
ensteel, and his brother Augustus, at
Creagerstown, and two sisters, Mrs.
Sarah kolb and Mrs. Louisa Colsey.
Eight children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Shorb. Of these Maria and Mary
are dead, John and Joseph live near the
old home, Charles at Altoona, Pa, Mrs.
John Hoke near the College, and Mrs.
John Lune and Mrs. Harry Knott near
Baltimore. The funeral of Peter Shorb
took place at st. Anthony's church with
requiem high mass on Monday morning.
A large number of relatives and friends
were present to do honor to the venera-
BILE deceased. The funeral service was
conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. II. Ira
gesser.
Zachary G. Breighner after an illness
of over year died at his home at 800 p.
m, Sunday, August 10. Mr.. Breighner
was born near Littlestown, Pa, and NOV
ed to the mountain in his childhood. He
died at the age of II in the same house
where he had lived during almost all his
life. Mr.. Breighner is survived by his
wife, who was a Miss Grottle, and his
brother Alexander, who lives at Pixies
vile. He was kind, gentle man who
had deservedly won the affection and es-
teen of all that knew him. He was also
deeply-religious man, though living
four miles from the church, always attend
ed service when it was possible. The
funeral of Mr.. Breighner took place or
Tuesday morning at St. Anthony 8 church,
where the service was conducted by the
Rev. Pastor in presence of the relatives
and large number of the friends OF the
departed.
