In Memory OF Mount e. Kirk.

Living as he did nearly all his life in
our Borough he was always interested in
everything that concerned its welfare.
He was man of wide acquaintance and
one who had an intimate knowledge of
the neighborhood and county. His many
friends highly respected and houored him
for his integrity, decision of character
and firm convictions. His advice was
often sought and he held warm place
in the hearts of the people who deeply
deplore his death.
While, owing to his i'll health, he was
able to meet but seldom with this Board
we valued his sound Judgment, his im-
partiality and his genial companionship,
and we feel that we have sustained a
great loss.

for study in our public schools on
Maryland Day, March %, 'The
Beginning of Popular Government
in Maryland, with a Review of the
Early Legislatures" "
Maryland holds a distinguished
position in Colonial government,
being the first State to institute an
independent legislative body of the
people and to insist upon freedom
from religion oppression by the
adoption of the Religious liberation
act. The first convention of a
legislative body was held at St.
Mary's in the early part of 1885,
but as the records have been des.
troyed little is know of the legis
latiOn enacted by its body. An
other session was convened on
January %, 1888, from which time
the records are more complete and
accessible.

TROLLEY LINES SOLD.
Promoters Of Mccall Ferry Dam
Buy Electric Railway and
Liqtlt System.

More than 200 miles of trolley
line operated by the Lancaster
County Railway and Light Com.
pany, together with the electric
light and gas plants in Lancaster
and Columbia, have been bought
by Bertron, Storrs & Griscom,
New York bankers, who financed
the Mccall Ferry Power Company.
By this deal control of the com
pahy is obtained, and 50, 100000 is
paid for 10000 shares Of stock,
which was worth almost nothing
only few years ago.
The New York firm, the protector
of>the great dam and power plant
now being built across the Susque
hanna river, is generally believed
to have the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company back of it.
1t is proposed to drive $4,000
horsepower from the dam to Ian
caster, where large industrial enter
prises are to be located, but even
more important is the proposition
to make Lancaster a great trolley
center. Lines will be extended to
Philadelphia, Harrisburg and
York, crossing the Susquehanna
river, which involves the scheme OF
converting the great iron and steel
bridge at Columbia into a ''double-
deckero for trolley cars.
By the terms of the sale 81 ,000,-
900 is to be paid for the common
stock and the same amount for the
issue of preferred stock.-Quarry

Heavy Snow Storm.

The heaviesU snow storm of the
winter swept over this section on
Monday. Snow began falling Mon.
day morning and continued fast
and furious all day and night.
With the approach of night the
northeast wind developed into a
gale, driving the snow with sting.
ing force through the air, making
the lot of all who were forced to be
out of door one of discomfort.
Fully a foot of snow fell and while
it drifted to a considerable extent
and travel was greatly impeded,
the roads were not badly blocked,
and afforded fine sleighing as soon
as the way was broken somewhat.
Train service over the Baltimore
Central was greatly interfered
with, the morning trains Tuesday
all being late, and the regular
schedule badly demoralized.
Shovels and brooms have been
welded with a will since Tuesday
morning and the walks in town for
the most part cleared of snow
The sleighbells are jingling and
with the mercury still ranging low
fires have been stirred up and
everyone has decided to make the
most of the real winter weather,
which, while a little long in
coming, is OF the healthy sort after
all.
