Will Not Affect Reunions.

The ruling Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission prohibiting railroads from
giving commissions to the committees
working up and managing picnics and
conventions will not affect the big church
reunions that are held every year at Pen
Mar. Several prominent church men,
bers feared that the annual church gath
erings at Pen-Mar would have to be dis
continued on account of lack of money,
the greater part of which was raised by
the railroads. Mr.. F. M. Howell says:
"While the Interstate Commerce Law
prohibits the giving of rebates or COM
missions to committees working UP ex-
cursions, on the ground that such rebates
are illegal, yet the Western Maryland
Railroad has made legal and satisfact-
DRY arrangements with the Presbyterian
reunion, the Reformed church reunion
and the Lutheran church reunion, by
which they will be enabled not only to
hold their reunions this coming season,
but for years to come"

Death Of Miss Laura Cadoyy.

After brief illness of about ten days,
Miss Laura Cadow, daughter of the late
James and Elizabeth Cadow, fell asleep
on Monday afternoon, July 9th.
So little was known Of her indisposi-
ton by the community in general, that
her death came as great shock. Miss
Cadow was born in Baltimore on July a,
1852, ard at the time of her decease was
aged IS years and 4 days. She was edu-
cated. in the public schools of that city
and proved an apt pupil, graduating at
the Western Female High school in her
seventeenth year with high honors and
receiving the Peabody gold medal for
scholarship and general proficiency, be-
ing one Of the first recipients of the latter
honor. The remainder of her life was
spent alternately i'll Baltimore, Chicago
and Thurmont, the summer home Of the
family being here for many years. Since
the death OF her mother which occurred
during the past winter, Miss Laura and
her brother Robert have been occupying
temporarily the Boblitz house on W.
Main street preparatory to moving into
their new home in course of erection on
Lombard street, but she has been called
to highe. home mot made with hands,
eternal, in the heavens" Miss Cadow
was one of those rare characters, who by
a sweet, gentle, unohtrusive life, won
general respect and attracted warm
friends, VINO found in her the consistency
of right living and the embodiment OF
true friendship in its highest form. She
was absolutely unsclfish, and her life
made deep impression here, as is evil
denced by the very general sorrow and
regret because of her death. She was
member OF the Westminster Presbyterian
church of Baltimore. She is survived by
a sister, Mrs. Clarence Harvey, of Bloom
ington, ILL.,, and Robert e. of this place,
to whom the heartfelt sympathy Of our
people is extended Funeral services
were held at her late home on Wednes-
day afternoon, July 10th, and were con-
Quoted by Rev. Chas. d. Shatfer. Inter-
ment was made in the U. b. cemetery.

Making Good Progress.

Making GOM Progress.
The electric road is making good pro-
gress, the grading forces at the Freder-
lick end being very near Yellow Springs,
and Mr.. Ramsburg and others are doing
good work at the Lewistown end and are
but short distance from Bethel church.
All the concrete culverts are put in from
Frederick to Lewistown, with the excep-
ton of the one at Bethel. Over 1000
tons of rails are now on the grounds in
Frederick and track connections are made
with the Penna. R. r. on East street ex-
tending across the lot of the railway to
4th street.
Track laying will now be rapidly push
ed in the country, SO that if weather con-
ditions are favorable track will be laid
to Yellow Springs by August LIST, and
it is hoped that track will be laid to Lew
istown by September LIST, at the latest.
The engineers have finished leveling
the line to Thurmont and as soon as pro-
files can be drawn rights of way will be
secured and condemnation proceedings
substituted where it is not possible to
effect an agreement.
Much fertilizer could be hauled to Lew
istown if the road could be gotten through
in time for seeding. The merchants of
!, Frederick are anxious to get connections
with the w. M. r. r. at Thurmont SO
that they may have better facilities for
getting freight from Baltimore and else
where.
Indeed there are great possibilities for
the W., F. & G. Ry. and while we are
not in position to state facts, yet we
are informed that it is likely that the line
from Frederick to Washington go miles,
will be completed almost as soon as the
line to Emmitsburg, thus practically as
surfing the line from Washington to Get
