Will Support Primary Idea.

While the sOcalled CARRIER Finley
wing of the party has not espoused the
cause of any candidate for senator, it
will support the state primary prOpo-
sition.
All the surface Indications tonight
are that the friends of Harvey c. Gar
Der, the Democratic state chairman,
are in control of the situation, but the
claims of CARRIER and his followers are
disputed by Mayor Johnson.
That Judson Harmon of Cincinnati,
attorney general in President Cleve-
lands cabinet, will be nominated for
governor by reclamation, is the claim
made by his supporters tonight. Atlee
Pomerene of Canton, who is his strong
est rival for the nomination., said to-
night that he was in the tight to stay
and that he would win. :

Instructions for Bryan.

1t is conceded that William j. Bryan
will be endorsed for the nomination for
president. and that the delegatoS-at-
large TO the Denver convention will be
instructed for him.
Mayor Johnson says all he wants
himself is to be national committee
man.
There is little probability that there
will be any kind of temperance plank
in the platform, either asking for more
legislation or extolling the virtues Of
that elected by the present assembly.
The convention will meet at 80 to-
morrow evening in Goodale Park audi
toTium, when Edward w Moore of
Youngstown, as temporary chairman,
will deliver the keynote speech.
At Wednesdays session a platform
will be adopted and state ticket nom
mated.

RAILWAYS WILL AID GOOD ROADS
The Transportation Problem is the
Most Important Encountered.

The railroads which gridiron Mary
land will do their part in building good
roads by granting reduced rates on all
carloads Of crushed stone to be used in
constructing permanent hard roads in
the state The railroad companies were
quick to grasp the benefits which they
would derive through freight rates and
throughm reprompt delivery of freights
if the roads leading to and from their
stations are hard and durable Hence.
their ready compliance with the request
of the state roads commission for lower
rates than the average.
1t was rather a difficult problem
which the ratemakers of the railroad
companies confronted when they were
asked to grant a reduced rate on crash
ed stone. If the cars hauling the stone
had to pass through another state, as
would be the case, for illustration. in
Transporting stone over the Pennsvl-
vania railroad from both Port Deposit
and adjacent quarries 10 any county on
the Eastern Shore except Cecil the
Interstate Commerce Commits ion would
have to be consulted and would have to
give its consent, after a notice of 80
days, to the requested reduction. since
the cars would have to pass through an
other state, Delaware additional to
Maryland The Baltimore and Ohio
and the Western Maryland companies
are similarly handicapped along certain
portions of their route, since the two
roads freely mingle in Maryland and
West Virginia, west of Harper's Ferry.
In the confines of Maryland, however,
the railroad and steamboat companies
are not hampered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the reduc-
ton in rates for crushed stone can be at
a figure which will cover the cost Of
transportation.
When the State Roads Commission
started out on its mission to build per
manent ighways it recognized the nee
essity Of low rates in order to bring the
building Of roads within reasonable
cost. Chief Engineer Crosby was in
structed to secure from the railroad
companies as low rates as possible.

SUNDAY SCENES At THE
MOUNTAIN CHAUTAUQUA
How the Residents Spend the First Day
of the Week in Peace And Quiet.

The Chautaqua at Mountain Lake
Park, which is located on q magnificent
plateau Of the Allegheny Mountains,
midway between New York on the east
and st. Louis on the west, is probably,
with one exception, the most national
and the most cosmopolitan of all the
Chautauquas of the country. Some of
the others may hire the same lecturers
and the same entertainers, they may
organize department. of instruction,
they may cultivate all the reforms and
they may move with all the movements,
but they remain more or less provincial.
At the Mountain Chautauqua, how
ever, there is to be found a distinctly
national, if not international breadth
and the spirit of the place is hospitable
to world ideas and world impulses.
This characteristic makes the place
delightful and congenial to the thous-
ands of agreeable people who come to
Mountain Lake Park year after year
from all parts of the country The
week Just closing, which is also the
wind-up of the second week of the
TWenty-SiXth Annual Session, brought
in large numbers from every section Of
the country. Indeed, the hotels and
boarding houses have become so crowd
ed for room that private residents are

everything will be as full as comfort
will permit and Mountain Lake Park
will have established the record Of hay-
ing the largest number Of people with

All this prosperity coming to Noun
tain Lake Park with such a rush is but
the expected response to the work and
energy displayed throughout the entire
year by the g NAL superintendent Dr..
W. w. Davis, who has Travelled inces-
sanity since early last fall, preaching
and talking in cities Of the first and in

tensions and in hamlets and villages,
always pushing Mountain Lake Park to
the forefront as the leading Christian
summer resort Of America Then he
has sent out thousands of vel written
and neatly printed booklets, circulars
and personal letters inducing people to
come. The honor, in great measure,
for the large crowds present therefore,
necessarily goes to DR.. Davis and his

THE COURT HOUSE ROOF.
imunication from Judge Robert
X. Henderson on the Subject.

To the Editor of The Republican.
My attention has just been called to a
statement in your issue of July Both
under the caption Copper viii Be
Used, " which unwittingly does Injustice
to the contractor of the new court
house, w. A. LiIler. The part of the
article to which | refer, is as follows:
'The contractor had already covered a
portion of the building with tin, said to
be low grade material, entirely unsat-
isfactory to all after it was found that
1t was of an inferior quality"
The facts are these: The contractor
had nothing to do with the change Of
material from slate, called for in the
specifications. to tin nor with the S dec
ton of the quality and grade of tin.
This was the act Of the majority Of The
Commission, at a meeting hastily called
to meet what was believed to be a
pressing emergency, without notice to
the other members. As soon as it was
discovered that the absent members
were strongly opposed to the use of any
quality of tin, the whole Commission
was called together and copper was de-
cided upon for the roofing material
There was, however, no doubt about
the quality of the tin, the whole ques-
ton being whether tin should be used
at all. The tin used by the contractor
was precisely that which the executive
committee of the Commission had order
ed, wit: Tayor's Old Style. double
dipped, Target and Arrow brand tin;
and that tin is the very best roofing tin
to be had in the market, and it is made
in Maryland.
1t follows that the statement that
Mr.. Liller was using an inferior quality
of tin is not CORRECT and does an MUS
tice to him, and to the commission,
which hope you will correct by publish
ing this communication
| am, very respectfully yours,
ROBERT r. HENDERSON.
lin making publication of the ar
ticle referred to above by Judge Hen
derson, it was not the editors intention
to cast any reflection either upon the
court house contractor or upon the
Cert House Commission, but simply
gg voice to well defined rnmor,
ana from a source which we considered
competent, that the tin used in the CON
struction of the conrt house roof was of
an inferior quality, or at least, a low
grade material. We trust this explain
alton of our position will be satisfactory
to AL concerned Ed. Republican.

OF Mountain Lake Park.
Sunday at Chautauqua is "a unique
. experience for the frequenter of other
summer resorts. The ubiquitous Sun
day eXcursionist and picnicker is en-
tirelY cut out. Trains do not stop at
the station after midnight Saturday
until the following Monday morning, so
that if one desires to be atss..Mountain
Lake Pack on Sunday the only way to
arrive there Is to be there Saturday
night or drive from Oakland or sDeer
Park Sunday. Trains fly up and down
the railroad track but they do not even
/ showdown at the depot. This restric-
ton usually strikes.the casual visitor as
a bit of Puritanical sabbatarianism,
but it has the virtue of preserving a
unique and characteristic Sunday for
the Chautauquans. The day is given
up to rest and religious exercises. and
one may rest and worship out in the
open air beneath the spreading branch
es Of the giant oaks, within the canvas
skirted walls of the magnificent am
! phitheatre or in ones own privacy with
out being disturbed by the cxcursionist
or his activities.
4 The eleven O'Clock services in the
big amphitheatrc last Sunday morning
drew a crowd of three thousand or more
to hear Dr. Charles ". Baldwin. Presi-
dent Of the Mountain Lake Park
Association, deliver sermon in which
the speaker urged the adaptation Of
the Christ-life by his auditors. At >
O'Clock in the afternoon the most do
. IlghtfuI and characteristic of all the
Chautauqua religious services. the
vesper service indigenous to the place,
was held in the Hall of Philosophy
under the personal guidanc of DR.. ".
L. Davidson, Hundreds crowded tie
Hall and participated in the beautiful
and worshipful IiturgicaI service of the
vespers.
One Of the most beautiful things Of
the day is the grand sacred concert and
song services in the amphitheatre in
/ the evening. The Guantanamo rhorIIs
with its many trained voices, the solo
lists, the orchestra and the mighty
throng Of the audience furnish some in
spring and soul-stirring sacred music.
No wonde' the casual visitor to Noun
tain Lake Park is likely to return again
and again and TO become at last con
tirmed Chautauquan,
Fortunately no one is compelled to
surfeit himself by attending these many
services. He may wander in the woods,
may drive through the country or may
stroll about the well kept streets but
Sunday at the Chautauqua is largely
devoted to other things than amuse-
ments. Never heless, have heard more
than one person ordinarily possessed
of little interest in the religious side of
life admit after trial Of it that Sunday
at the Mountain Chautauqua is not half
bad.
The most prominent features on the
program for the week beginning with
tomorrow are as follows

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Marks About His Head and Face In
dicate That He Might Have
Been FouIIy Dealt With.
jury Meets Again Today.

Was Theodore Friis, young Swede,
probably 25 years old, murdered and
his body thrown into the hay, or did
he accidentally fall from dredge No.
7 Monday night and drown?
Those are the questions which are
puzzling coroner's jury, summoned
yesterday afternoon shortly after the
body was picked up in the bay and
which held long session without rem
dering a verdict. having adjourned to
meet again this morning to further
probe the case.
Young Friis disappeared from the
dredge, which is at work opposite the
plant of the Parker Hensell Engineer
ing company, Monday night about $50
o'clock Further than the bare an
nouncement that the man had fallen
overheard and was probably drowned
nothing was known.
Yesterday, however, shortly after
noon, the body Of the young Swede
was picked up near the dredge by a
negro fishermen. Coroner Jennings
was at once notified and a jury was
summoned composed of the following
citizens e. L. Stephens, B. A Love
man, R. L. Brady. c. NJ Brady, A. M
Cook and S. NJ. Cornelius.
The jury met to investigate the
case and when the body was examined
several ugly marks were seen about
the face and head which indicated that
the man had probably been injured.
There was no witnesses who could
throw any light on the case In fact.
no one had seen Friis fall from the
dredge, but one of the members OF
the crew testified that he heard a
splash about $40 Monday night. On
the right side of the mans face was
a ugly-looking blow, his face being
otherwise bruised and under his jaw
was am ugly cash. The jury was IN
able to decide whether these injuries
were received in the fall from the
deck of the dredge to the water or
whether the young Swede had been
foully dealt with, and after being kill
ed or injured his body being thrown
into the bay
Efforts are being made to secure
further evidence and the jury will
meet at 10 O'clock this morning TO
further investigate the case.
Friis had been working on the
dredge for only short time and lit
tie is known about him. His body
was turned over to the undertaken for
interment.
