In the Nature of Complaint

\ prominent commercial gentleman,
one who visits FrOStburg frequently, re-
marked to the JOURNAL Il few days ago
that the prospect Of FrOstburg enjoying
the convcniences and profits of the Belt
Lime is very remote. Indeed, =" he said,
"the cars do not run to the end of the
line now When the road was first put
in operation the motor-men ran as near
to the end as they could, but now, owing
to some sort of pressure from somewhere,
they are steadily but surely receding so
as to shorten their run much as prac-
ticable. One having business, as have,
at west end of Union street, is lucky
now if he can land beyond Broadway"
The JOURNAL is informed that this dere-
LECTION inticts loss of benefit to patrons
of the road and to business people be-
yond the terminus of the road, and both
would like the carmen to resume the
original custom of all cars going far us
they can.

Paving Suggestions

Engineering work having begun on
Broadway, several considerations, oUt-
side the OrdiHdncc, should appear:
/, The grade along depressiOns should
conform nearly as practicable to the
natural surface.
,, Natural-ga people should make a
thorough canvass of the street for those
who want gas, and urge them to have
their street excavation and piping done
mar.
3, The foundation for the brick should
be thoroughly rolled by one of the coun-
ty S steam rollers. This is rcryimporiaDt.
1, Council should make payment of
the property owners shares of the cost
contingent upon the result of the Union
street contest. If owners on that
thoroughfare go free, it will be forever
unjust to owners on Broadway, or any
other street, TO be compelled to pay no
matter what the latter are required to
promise. This should be doneif it takes
another Ordinance to do it.
These suggestions reapplicable to all
streets i'll town that may be hereafter
paved.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Town Council.

4 special meeting was held Monday
evening, with Mayor j. w. Shea and
all members present, to discuss the pass
age of an Ordinance to pave Broadway.
Mayor Shea called Council to order,
stated purpose of meeting, and called
upon the Clerk to read communication
pertaining to the Union street paving
matter, but Mr.. Dillon objected, saying
we want to settle Broadway first. y
Mayor Shea said that inasmuch as in
most meetings of this kind there is con-
siderable wrangling, which we do not
want here, we wish it to be known that
anyone may be heard, but he must say
all he wants to say on any topic while
on the floor, for no one may speak twice. y
Messrs. Dillon and Brown moved that
the Clerk read the proposed Ordinance,
which was agreed to.
The Ordinance provided at tirSt-''tO
pave that portion of Broadway between
the intersection with Mechanic street
and -- street" it being the purpose
to include the entire street through to
Park avenue, i'll the event that the resi-
dents on block from Loo street to Park
avenue desired it done.
John w Arnold spoke, saying that he
had conferred with every property
owner i'll that block and found only one
i'll favor Of paving that section.
William Angwin stated that he be-
lieved that they would be willing to lay
sidewalks, but not to pave the street.
Walter w. Wittig favored the paving
of Broadway and as many other streets
as it is possible to pave.
William G.. Bowden, representing the
owner of 272 feet frontage, made quite a
nice address. Hethought Council ought
to be congratulated on their public
spirit. He referred to Meyersdale, Pa,
and Keyser, w. Va, both of which
towns have great deal more paved
streets than Frostburg. He said paved
streets are a good Investment for any
town, as they give an air of industry
and thrift that is not apparent other
wise.
John Gungerman favored paving, pro-
vided it does not work an injury to or
interfere with his sidewalks as now
graded and laid.
On motion of MessrS. Dillon and
Brown, the Ordinance was read by sec
tions, and again by title, after which
the roll of Council was called and every
member voted to pave Broadway from
Mechanic street to the south side of Loo
street.
Otto Hohing came i'll at this time and
stated that he opposed the paving of
Broadway.
Walter w Wittig asked what PROPOSE
ton Council would make to the property
owners on Broadway i'll regard to plac-
ing a sewer along said street, and was
told that Council would put sewer
pipe below frost line, provided the
owners of property would pay for pipe,
as they had done III other sections of
town.
Rev. c. f. Metger asked whether it
would not he possible to make some
kind of agreement SO that after the paw
ing was put down, that gas and water
companies could not tear up the paving
i'll short time again.
Mr.. Dillon replied-'no nobody can
legislate for the future
There being no further business to en-
gage attention of Council adjournment
took place at 800 y. M

Own Life at Sanitari0m
FACTS ARE LONG CONCEALED
Young Woman Was Noted as a Musician
and Had Come Here for Treatment
Was Found Dead in Bath
Tub Sunday Night
(From Tuesday 5 DaiIyl

Miss Evelyn Murphy, daughter Of
John J. Murphy, a banker at Woodstock,
Ill.,, was buried in the family plot at
Woodstock this afternoon and the
burial marked the close of a tragedy
which occurred at the Pennoyer Sani-
tarium in Somers on last Sunday night
when the young woman drowned herself
in a bath tub She was found In The
tub by Dr. Adams, but the members OF
the family pleaded so hard that the of
fcials of the sanitarium as wen as the
officials Of the county who We're told
Of the death Of the young woman did
not give the facts to the public
Miss Murphy was twenty-five years
Of age and was widely known through
out the middle west as musician. She
had been for several months suffering
from an attack of nervous prostration
and had Of her own volition gone to the
sanitarium of Sanger Brown at KeniI-
worth When she was found there by
her parents eight weeks ago she was
brought to Kenosha and placed under
The care of DIR. Adams
On Sunday evening she seemed to be
in good spirits and the physicians
thought that she was recovering.
Just before eight O. clock in the even
ing she started with her nurse to the
bath room to take a bath and the nurse
waited outside the door as was her
custom. When the young woman failed
to show any sign of coming out of the
bath, the nurse became alarmed and call
ed Dr. Adams The bath room was
opened and the young woman was
found partially on the floor with her
head buried under the water in the bath
tub. DR. Adams saw that the young
woman had been drowned and he made
an effort to resuscitate her but in vain.
He then notified Coroner Andre and DIR.
Andre went to the Sanitarium and made
an examination of the effects of the
young woman and returned a verdict of
suicide. In the room was found a letter
which had been written to thn IT'S
of the young women and t. s4.o, ed
plainly that she had intended to take
her life. The remains were taken to
Woodstock, ILL.,, on Monday evening and
the certificate Of the death was fled
with the registrar of the town of Som
ers. This certificate gave the cause of
the death as suicide.
On account Of the prominence of the
party the facts in the case were held
back until they became known this af-
ternoon at the hour of the young
woman funeral
At Woodstock where Miss Murphy
wss buried the cause of her death was
given as heart failure

WILL RAISE FUND
Former Kenosha Life Saver Starts
Movement To Secute Private
Fund for Pensions
PENSIONS FOR DISABLED MEN

An effort is being made by Charles
A. Meyland 962 Winnebago street, Mil
waukee, secretar of the Life Savers
National Benefit Association, to raise
money for a fund to care for men dis
abled in the United States life saving
service and for the widows and orphans
of men who have lost their lives in the
work of rescue.
These men receive no pension from
the government, save that a provision
is made that if disabled they receive
their pay for two years thereafter, and
that in case of death the payment of
the salary is continued to a dependent
mother. Efforts have been made for
years. to secure pension legislation for
the life savers, but it has been defeat
ed, the opponents Of the movement con
tending that to take this action would
be the first step toward establishing a
civil pension list.
Charles A. Meyland, who is circulat-
ing the subscription list in Milwaukee,
has been honorably discharged from the
lifesaving service after fourteen years
of service as a surfman in the stations
at Milwaukee, Kenosha and Chicago.
He is suffering from disability said to
have been contracted in the service.
The object Of the association, which,
is formed of disabled men formerly In
the service, is stated i'm the subscription
paper as follows:
ITO obtain the means OF a modest
living for ourselves and the dependents
of our dead comrades SO as to steer
clear of the poorhouse and thereby
maintain our honorable standing among
our friends and in our community. We
think we ought to be entitled to that
much consideration after faithfully and
honorably serving the nation through
a long series of years and we hope to
meet the assistance of every true
American to accomplish it. We hope
to raise pension fund through public
donations and contributions. The fire
men IS pension fund of this and other
great cities was raised in this way. We
also want to put up contribution boxes
in every great city ia the Union in such
places as hotels, railroads stations,
stores, etc.
The lifesaving service on the coast
Of the German empire is maintained in
this way and we should be able through
this contribution box system to raise
enough money to take care of the 200
crippled members Of our association and
the 800 widows and orphans of our
dead comrades. Sumner 7. Kimban
general superintendent Of lifesaving
service at Washington, D. c., has been
asked to aid in The just distribution of
the fund Our association has been
organized without any capital and in
order to produce about 1000 contribu-
tion boxes we need about $1,000. After
we get started with the 1000 contribu-
ton boxes we hope to be able to take
care of ourselves.
