Prof. J. c. Beahm, until recently
principal of the Accident public school,

Grantsville public school, whose arrest
on criminal charge took place Wednes-
day of last week, as stated in these col

hearing before the Board of School
Commissioners in Oakland on Saturday
when the Board will decide whether or
not the charges standing against Prof.
Beahm are of a nature sufficiently seri-
ons to exclude him from filling the po-
sitiOn to which he has been elected by
the trustees of the Grantsville school.
On Monday Mr.. Beahm appeared at
Grantsville for the purpose of opened
y the school at that place, but the trus-
tees, so it is reported refused to allow
him to teach, hence the higher grades
in the school are without an instructor
and will so remain until the Board acts

employing an instructor to take his
place.

During the past year Bently Post col

MISS REBECCA RIDGLEY.

Miss Rebecca Ridgley died on the 5th
of September, 1908, at her quiet home,
three miles south of. Grantsville, in
Garrett county, Of an illness of two
years, aged about 50 years. She died
at the spot she was born, and where she
lived happy all her many years. She
was the youngest child of the late Ellie
Ridgley, one of old Allegany's most
prominent and worthy citizens. She
was tenderly laid to rest in the family
cemetery on the old home farm, accord
ing to the rites and forms of the Catho-
lie church. The family in all consisted
OF nine members seven daughters and
only two sons, all now deceased. Only
few years ago, Isabelle, a devoted
sister, died at the same ancient man
sion, in her ripe eighties. These two
unmarried sisters lived together in the
old hospitable Ridgley stone mansion,
and conducted the ample farm in a bust
ness manner. All the other sisters
were married and left a number of chill
dren, many of them well known. Among
them: Ur. H. S. Bevans. of Grantsville,
and Levi S. Hilleary, of Cumberland.
Thesa two last and youngest sisters
chose lives Of singleness, and so lived
happily all their many years in quietude.
comfort, purity and respect They were
ladies in the good sense of the term; no
i'll expressions or feelings could be held
or expressed for either Of the two. All
who knew them well know and feel they
have suffered loss in these two deaths.
By the death of this worthy lady the
Ridgly name, that had been prominent
in the county for century suddenly
became extinct but the family blood
yet flows in many warm veins.
