Killed by a TPain.-The remaips of
John Garter, son Of Mrs. Kate Garter, OF
Boyds, who died from the effects of injuries
received last Friday night, were brought to
Galthersburg from Washington on Saturday
and were taken to the home of his relatives.
The body was inferred at Pleasant Hill
cemetery, Darnestown, Sunday afternoon :.
The young man was struck by fast train
No. 46, it is believed. in front of the depot
at Germantown. He was with his friend,
Caleb Kendall, the two having left Boyd 8
together. Operator Schenck states that he
was on his way to his boarding house when
he came across Kendall, who was asleep on
the depot platform. He awakened him and
told him he had better get warm. Kendall
replied he couldn't leave his "buddy," who
had been struck by a train. Schenck did
not believe him at first, but hearing cries
for help he went to Carriers aid, getting
Agent Santman to assist him. Carter was
taken into the depot where he recognized
MIR. Santman and complained OF being cold.
He was afterwards sent to Washington,
where he died.
Mr. Schenck says he found young Carter
lying in middle of the track, with his head
against the guard rail- on the inner side az
the switch. His left leg was across the track,
and had been run over, no doubt, by several
passing trains. His fingers were severed
from his left hand, his head was badly con-
fused, and his sides and hips were badly
crushed.

Making Denatured Alcohol.

The Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, through DR.. IL. w. Wiley, chief Of
the bureau of chemistry, has undertaken to
educate the farmers regarding the manufac-
ture of denatured alcohol. Two bulletins
were issued last week devoted to the de.
scription of the sources from which indus
trial or denatured alcohol may be obtained,
the method of manufacture and to some uses
to which 1t may be put, as well as statistics
showing the possibilities in the development
OF the industry.
From DIR. Wiley's discussion of the sub
ject the conclusion is reached that the manu-
iacture of alcohol on q small scale Is not
likely to prove profitable. Because OF the
regulations under which the farmer would
be required to conduct his still If he en-
gagged in the manufacture, II ID evident that
he must be content with producing the raw
materials and that he cannot look forward
to becoming practical distiller.
"The principal uses of industrial alcohol
arc illumination, heating, motive power and
the manufacture of lacquers, varnishes,
smokeless powder, medicinal and pharma.
ceutical preparations, vinegar, etc. When
industrial alcohol is made at price at which
1T can compete with petroleum aud gasoline,
1t doubtless will be preferred for the pur-
poses mentioned because of its greater safe :
ty and more pleasant odor. Under the pres
ent condition it is not probable that indus
trial alcohol can be offered upon the market
at much less than 40 cents gallon of 95 per
cent strength"
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, however,
that by paying attention to unused sources
OF raw material and with improved methods
of manufacturing and denaturing this price
can be diminished.

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of ouI
dear son and brother, James A. Whalen,
who departed this life November IA, 1915
Death has been here and borne away
A brother from our slde
Just in the morning OF his day,
In youth and love he died.
Another link Ia broken
In our household band,
But chain is forming
In better land.
1t Is sad that the one we cherish
Should be taken from our home,
But the joys that do not perish
Live in memory alone.
All the years we spent together,
All the happy golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance
Fragrant sweets from memory's flowers
We miss thee from our home, dear brother,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

Suit Over School House.

One of the cases tried at this term Of court
is an ejectment suit brought by the School
Board against Henry r. Gingell. The case
was tried last Friday before Judge Hender-
son, and the facts developed at the trial are
as follows: Capt. James Anderson testified
that in 1858, when the public school sys.
tenn was first adopted in this State, John G.
Bohrer, together with other patrons of the
old Bethesda school house property, request.
ed the School Board to take charge of the
school and furnish teacher at public ex.
pense, which the Board agreed to do. The
Board has maintained public school there
ever since until January OF this present
year, when the school was transferred to the
new school house on the other side of the
Old Road and several hundred yards far.
ther east. The evidence showed that last
March one of the trustees Of the school
handed Mr. Gngell, the defendant In the
case, the key and told him to take the pro-
perty and he has occupied it ever since
Hence the suit which brings up the question
OF title and the right of possession. The
school authorities admitted at the trial that
they have no deed and had never bought
the property, and the evidence showed that
1t was reserved in the old deeds conveying
the property adjoining it. The building on
the site, says Capt. Anderson, was first used
as church by the Protestant Episcopals,
then private school was maintained and the
teachers were paid by the patrons Of that
community until the year 1858. About 1898
the School Board erected q new school
house, which the defendant occupies as q
dwelling. The School Board in 1905 sold
the school property for about 81 100, but, on
account Of the doubtful title, the sale was
never contaminated. The School Board
claims title by adverse possession, and the
defendant denies 1t and claims that the
plaintiff had only permisslve entry and
never entered into possession under any
claim of right.
Judge H anderson has reserved his decis.
ion.
The plaintiff is represented by Messrs.
Talbot & Prettyman, and the defendant by
Messrs. Alexander Kilgour and Frank Hig
gins.

Death OF a Former PastOr.-Rev.
Father James A. Cunningham died sudden
ly at few minutes before O'Clock last
Saturday morning while preparing 10 say
Mass at St. Thomas Church, Woodbury.,
Baltimore county. Heart disease was the
cause OF death, and the attack came with
out warning, although he had been i'll for
some time, and only recently he took trip
South in hope of improving his health.
Father Cunningham had been in charge
through the house to the church adjoining
he grew faint and went into the parlor,
where the weakness completely overcame
him. He had strength left to call Father
O'Neill and request absolution and the ex-
IRENE JUNCTION, which his first assistant ad
ministered. In the meantime messengers
were hastily dispatched for DIR. Richard B.
Norman and DR.. Harry @. Algire, but be :
fore either arrived Father Cunningham was
dead.
Father Cunningham was 81 years old and
native OF Ireland, where he received his
early education, finishing his studies at St.
Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He was or
dained to the priesthood in December, 1874
by Archbishop James Il. Bayley, in the Bal
tmore Cathedral. For three years he was
assistant to Monsignor McManus at st.
Johns Church, Baltimore. He was three
years at Rockville, this county; eight years
assistant at st. Vincent's, Baltimore, and
three years at st. Joseph's, also in Balti
more. Thirteen years ago he went to St..
Thomas Church, where he had built up
the membership and largely increased the
churchs prosperity.
