Mr.. John Carroll, aged eighty-one
years, died Sunday morning at an
early hour at the residence of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. M. A. Lally, No. 1923 Dewey
avenue, Grafton, after an illness cover
ing period of couple of months, of
disease incident to one of his advanced
age. The deceased was a native of
Ireland, but had been a citizen of the
United States for fifty five years. For
forty seven years he resided at Alta
mont, Md, where he was employed as
track foreman by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Co., serving that company
faithfully until he reached the age of
retirement. Mr.. CAROLS wife died
twenty seven years ago, and he never
remarked. He was the father Of sew
eral daughters, of whom, Mrs NJ. A.
Lally of Grafton; Mrs. Julia Clark of
Washington D. c.; Mrs. Harry Robin
son of Scranton, Pa, and Miss Mary
Carroll of Chicago, survive him. In
Garrett county where Mr.. Carroll lived
so long, he was universally respected,
and was one of those sterling and ex-
emplary citizens whose names figure
always with the best interests of the
home and the public. During the past
two years he made his home with his
daughter at Grafton, and he was the
subject of every kindly solicitude and
service that could be given by loving
daughter, an appreciative son-in-law
and devoted grandchildren. Since going
to Grafton to live Mr.. Carroll made
many warm friends, all of whom are
saddened to learn of his demise. His
daughter, Miss Mary of Chicago, arriv-
ed in Grafton to attend at the bedside
of the sufferer some days ago, and
other members of his family visited him
during his last illness. The funeral oc-
Cured here Tuesday morning at ten
O'Clock, with services at st. Peter

had been member for many years

WAR AGAINST VACCINATION.
Public Schools Crippled On Account
of the Fight.

If all reports are true, there is a vac
cination war on in DAILY township, across
the border in Pennsylvania from Grants
vile in Garrett county, that was never
equaled and has resulted in the public
schools being nearly all closed.
The patrons of the school object to
having their children vaccinated and the
school directors are determined to en-
force the law.
So much bitter feeling has been Gre
ated that the other day black cat be-
longing to one of the directors came
home wearing large placard on which
the following was written: Keep your
cat home or else get it vaccinated.
Patrons Of the school talk about car
rying the matter to the court claiming
that the law is unconstitutional.

TWO YOUNG MEN THE VICTIMS
Messrs Oscar KitzmiIIer ard Michael
Kildow Very Seriously Injured
Former vii, Lose Sight of Left
Eye.

Last Friday Oscar Kitzmiller, son Of
|. W. kitzmiller, and Michael Kildow.
son of Hopwood Kildow, had an expe-
rience which may have resulted in death
to both, but which fortunately will ter
inmate less seriously.
The men, both of them young, were
engaged in drilling and blasting lime
rock at the quarry located along the
river south Of town. They had drilled a
hole in the rock and placed a charge of
powder therein, firing it with fuse.
After waiting for the explosion to take
place for long time they came to the
conclusion that the fuse had been broken
and that it would not fire, ard resumed
drilling in the same hole, when the blast
suddenly went off. The men were Of
necessity Immediately over the hole.
Kildow handling the drill and Kitzmiller
driving with the sledge. When the
powder exploded the drill was carried
away and the charge of powder coming
up in the mems faces burned them bad
ly. Kitzmiller will probably lose the
sight Of his left eye besides having his
face disfgured for the balance of his
life with powder and particles Of rock
driven into his flesh. Kildow's left hand
was badly shattered and burned. His
hand was protected with a buckskin
mitten which saved it from being blown
entirely off or more seriously mangled.

Explanation by the Country Editor.

=
After good deal Of study and work
we have at last figured out why so many
country editors get rich. Here is The
secret of success:
A child is born in the neighborhood;
the attending physician gets $40; the
editor gives the loud-lunged youngster
and the "happy parents a send-off and
gets so. 1t is christened; the minister
gets $40, and the editor gets 500. 1t
grows up and marries; the editor pub
fishes another long winded fowery ar
ticle, and tells dozen lies about the
beautiful and accomplished BRIDE"
the minister gets $40 and a piece of
cake, and the editor gets 5000. In the
course Of time it dies and the doctor gets
from $25 to 500; the editor publishes a
notice of the death and an obituary two
columns long, lodge and society resolu-
lions, lot of poetry and free card of
thanks, and gets 10000.
No wonder that so many country ed
itors get rich Morehead (Alabama)
