Obituary,

George Pearson White, of Loeb Lynn
Heights, Garrett county, Md, departed
this life to be with Christ May 26th,
1908 He was the fifth son of Johnson
White and .Aseneth Gregg White his
wife. He was born July 8th, 1S49, at
what was then known as '"The Glades, -
but now known as Loeb Lynn Heights,
and was the last surviving member of a
family of ten children. He married
Miss Rachel K. Deets, of Aurora, ".
Va, Oct. 10TH 1878. Their married
life was happy one. They had three
sons, Albert T., Orlando NJ. and Alder
son b. White. They, with their mother,
survive. Brother White never aspire d
to or held a political office, though he
was chosen by his townspeople to serve
two terms as mayor and several times
as councilman.
He was man who aspired to be a
help to his fellow man and took part in
and was member of several fraternal
orders. He was prominent in the
Knights of Pythias and was charter
member of Oak Lodge No. s, l. O. O. F.,
which was instituted July -, 1895, and
filled the offices of right supporter to
noble grand, chaplain, vice grand, noble
grand, past grand, permanent secretary
and district deputy grand master. The
last Office he held at the time of his
death. Though he was so popular and
efficient in fraternal orders he was no
less 50 in christian work. He was con-
verted at about thirty years of age and
united with the Methodist Episcopal
church. He served as steward, class
leader, Sunday school teacher and su-
perintendent and efficiently in every
position. He transferred his member
ship to the Loeb Lynn U. B. church
about year before his death and was
very consistent in his christian life
there. He suffered very severely for
some time before his death but was
always patient and resigned. Almost
his last words were, II have about fin
ished my race, but it is all right. He
passed away peacefully surrounded bv
his family and friends. He was buried
Thursday, May 2Sth, in the Oakland
cemetery. The funeral services were
held in the old auditorium, Mountain
Lake Park. His pastor, Rev. J. F.

there and was assisted by Rev. John NJ.
Davis, of Oakland, and Rev. C. W.
Hudson, of Loeb Lynn. The services at
the grave were in charge of the Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias who at
tended in body, His body now rests
the bosom of mother earth awaiting
the time when his Master shall call him
forth to receive his crown.

EXPENSE of Railroad Construction.

An article in the local news columns
OF The Sun Saturday illustrates the
great change that has taken place in
the methods of railroad construction.
1t is therein satted upon excellent auth
ority that the estimated cost of the pro-
posed Western Maryland extension from
Cumberland to Pittsburg is $35, 600, 900.
This will be the cost of modern single
track road through the mountains $50
miles IN length. Between l849 and
January l, 1858, the Baltimore and Ohio
road was extended from Cumberland to
Wheeling, also through a mountain
country. The length of that extension
was 200 miles and the cost So. 900, 600.
On this road there are 10 tunnels, one
of which, that at Kingwood, is 400
feet long and cost $3.50, 900. There
were also on the extension ia bridges.
The whole original cost of the main
stem of the Baltimore and Ohio, from
Baltimore to the Ohio river, 1871 miles.
was ST., 800, 900. When the road was
douhle-tracked and equipped with loco
motives and cars the entire cost was
about S22, 900, 900. The capital stock
issued up to the time Of completion was
Sl3, O9l 800 and the bonded debt s., ST.,
OH. Since that day the whole idea and
method of railroad construction ;has
changed. Now the cost of construction
is not so much considered as the cost of
operation. For example, when the
Baltimore and Ohio was built it was
carried over PARIS Ridge and a round
house was.built at the foot of the grade
for lot of enginesi to help trains up.
The cost of maintaining those helpers
would nave paid far more then the in
terest on the cost of reducing the grade,
and so in late years PARIS Ridge has
been tunneled and the helping engines
abandoned. The rails used 80 or 40
years ago would not sustain lthe heavy
locomotives of the present day. There
has been revolution in the.scharacter
of equipments and in the rate of speed.
and while the cost of construction and
OIL equipment mas been greatly increas-
ed, the cost of transportation a ton a
mile has been reduced in a far greater
proportion. Baltimore Sun.

AKLAvD WAS INUNDATED
AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Clondburst Att the Head of Wilson
Greek Was the Cause.
A NUMBER OF BUILDINGS FLOODED
Monetary Loss Was Small, However,
The Oakland Model Bakery Being
Heaviest LoOser-Furniture Store
of d. E. BoIden Quietly Cleared OF
Goods.

For ting second within less than a
"ear thief business section of Oakland
BORDERING on Second street at its inter-
secn5ifwith Liberty street, was flood
ed on Friday afternoon last, when Will
son Creek, which passes through that
portion of the town, rose very rapidly
and flooded many buildings to depth
of more than foot and thee streets.
notably Third and Green, Liberty and
Second, resembling rivers uncomfortable
and wild.
The cause of the food was a cloud
burst which occurred about three
O'Clock at the head of the Creek. out
towards Hooppole Ridge, two or three
miles north of town. The waters came
down with rush, quickly Overlooking
the banks of the creek into Third street
and also into Green street. Liberty and
Second streets were soon flooded, the
water rushing over the bridge on Sec
ond street so rapidly that the men who
were engaged IN pulling boards and logs
from the water so as to prevent the
clogging of the culvert under the rail
way tracks, had considerable difficulty
in keeping their feet.
Among the buildings flooded were the
Oakland Bakery, D. E. Bolden's furni-
tdre store, the Mitchell building, the
opera house, W. G. Hinebaugh's res
taurant and Dixon & Kelso's store.
The Oakland Bakery sustained the
o.etest loss by reason of the flood, the
Drietor, Mr.. Henry Lauer, placing
u,oss at $125.
T,,o D. E. Bolden's furniture store,
~ ed adjoining the bakery, which
was packed with fine furniture, pic
lures, etc, was soon cleared by willing
hands, the goods being carried into the
the opera house and across the street to
the warehouse of Messrs. Dixon &
Kelso. Mr.. Bolden's damages will be
about 800, caused by the goods becom-
ing wet by the rain which continued to
fall while the furniture was being trans
ferred.
The occupants of the other buildings
flooded sustained comparatively little
less, the greatest damage being done
by reason of the mud which washed in
to the lower floors and covered them
with muddy mixture half an inch or
morefdeep.

formal reception was held. when the
Governor met quite a large number of
people, among them being the Normal
school students, who came down to the
station in a body.
A few minutes conversation with
members Of the Commission brought
out the fact that the Oakland meeting
was the most enthusiastic, the best at
tended and more harmonious than any
other convention held heretofore in the
state.
The party left Oakland on train No.
s, due at 10:11 O'Clock, for Cumberland,
where a similar meeting as that in
Oakland was held in the afternoon, the
train departing amid the cheers of the
assembled crowd

| Sunday morning the people of Oak
land were very much wrought over the
fact that dog, coming from the direc-
ton of Deer Park, and showing every
indication that it was suffering with a
highly developed case of hydrophobia,
had entered the town and had attacked
a number of other dogs belonging to
residents of Oakland, but fortunately
no human had come within the scope
of the brute.
The dog which was white. with a
number of yellow spots, entered town
from the Deer Park road, on its way
here having attacked the shepherd dog
of Mr.. Andrew Shartzer, who resides
on his farm mile and a-half out. AT
ter coming within the corporate limits
the dog attacked some five or six other
CANNES, among them being DR.. Bart
let's, Alpha Hinebaugh's, r. K MAJ
roney's, James Denmark's. Morrel
Jamison's and probably others.
The mad brute came down Second
street from the Deer Park road run
ming and swapping at every one of its
species in sight.
At the corner of Alder street the
dog fell to the brick pavement, probably
from exhaustion and was shot by Coun-
Gilman Painter who had been appraised
of its appearance here.
: On Monday night the Town Council
at its session passed an ordinance di-
rectlng the policemen to kill every ami
NAL which had been bitten by the dog
and to compel the owners of other dogs
to keep them tied up, otherwise the
officers are directed to shoot them on
sight. Following their instructions
Officers Browning and Nethken on
Tuesday shot three or four of the ca
mines that had been bitten and will kin
others as soon as they can locate them.
Mr.. Shartzer, whose dog was the first
bitten, took no chances with his animal
but had it shot early on Monday morn
ing, which is very commendable act

rett National Bank, was on his way
home, when he was appraised of tie
coming of the food. With quick wit
and the necessary material handy the
doors of the banking rooms were
caulked and although water to the depth
of four inches surrounded the building

MATCH POSTPONED.
Ingoldsby to Play Kinney in City Pool
 Tourney Tonight.

The pool match between Ingoldsby and Kennedy which was to have been played last night, has been postponed until tonight.
 Trudo is also to play Ingoldsby this evening so there will be a double header. These games are the play for first place as all three players are tied for the premier honors. There is also side wager or fifty dollars be- tween Trudo and Ingoldsby.
 A few weeks ago the present cham pion Trudo. was beaten by Ingoldsby loo to 91. but Trudo claims he was sick and unable to do himself justice. so his packer, F. Cameron, has any part of a hundred that Trudo can beat fngoldsby and what is more he bars no one in the city.
 The present tournament has with out doubt boomed the game to quite an extent. and as the players have been SD evenly matched. it has been difficult matter to pick a winner.
 The winner of this tournament will represent New Haven next winter al Hartford, in the state championship
 Last Tuesday night, Kingsbury of this city. beat the champion of Hart ford, 15 to 94. Kingsbury made a run of 81 balls and Britt made runs of 19 and 23.
 Tonight at Hartford kingsbury will play the Waterbury champion III l the state championship series.

YALE FIELD PLANS Baseball Grandstands to be Enlarged for Game With
 Harvard.
SEATS INCREASED TO 5000
Demand for Covered Seats at Com mencement the Cause of the
 Present Move.

Plans are now being prepared for en- larging the baseball grandstand at the field and if they go through Yale will be better prepared than last year to take care of her Commencement crowd at the Yale Harvard game. Attendance at the championship games has been steadily increasing for the last five years in spite of Yale's poor baseball record, and there is every indication that 1t will continue to grow. The present covered grandstand. holding about 3,1O0. was thought sufficient when 1t was built ten years ago to accommo- date all who would want to sit under cover for many years to come. Last June over 12.0OO people saw the Com mencement game, and. of these 12,00O 5000 applied for seats in the covered stand.
 The first plan was to make the covered stand double decker, like the one al the Polo Grounds in New York. and hold ing about 5000 seats, but the cost of such an undertaking was found to be prohibitive, in view of the fact that such a size would only be required for one. game during the season. A sub stitute plan now being considered is toe add six rows of seats to the back of the stand and four to the front. This would necessitate new roof, but the changes could be much more easily and quickly made and would increase the capacity by about 1000 seats, making a total of something over 1000.

LAST CAME OF SEASON.
x. II. H. $. Five 10 Play New Britain
 Saturday-Class Game.

Everybody who will be present at the Anderson gymnasium, S07 York street, Saturday night, will undoubtedly re- ceive . very good treat, for there Is 10 be corking good game of basketball between the New Haven High school and New Britain quintets, which will be the last game of the season for the local High. Besides the game another will be played between the sophomores and juniors for the class championships, the winners of which will be awarded their numerals. This ought to be a close and interesting game, as both the teams arc evenly matched. There will be many members of these classes pres ent to cheer for the teams. which fact will help make the game more excit- ing.
 After these games a dance will he given. consisting of a program of nine dances, which will take place after the games. Part of the program will con sist of barn dances.
 Manager Bird of the New Haven High school quintet deserves much credit for the good work he has accomplished. since he has had charge of the regular | High school team. He will give the ' spectators a great time Saturday night | by offering the fore mentioned induce | ments. He expects large crowd Tt | the game. and has stated tlot If his expectations are fulfilled, the High | i its debt incurred during the early part of the season, but probably come out l ahead.
 Grant Blakeslee. although unsuccess- i full in having good cheering at the High schools last game, will probably | he present to lead the cheering again. This time. however. there is going to be some good cheering. and it is hoped that the team will profit by it.
 Ii would be fortunate if kinsey. who had refereed the High school-Yale Con- solidated game Tuesday could he secur- ! ed to referee the games Saturday night By his rcfereeing. the game would be
 made intensely interesting for he is very
 familiar with the rules of the game
 and is an impartial official.
 This is the first time that a basket
 ball game and dance has been run of
 to gether in this city, and the members
 of the school will probably turn out ir
 full force. Tickets have been printed
 and are selling we'll, for unusual in.

The rain of yesterday turned the rapidly drying Yale diamond into a mud hole and the field was in such bad condition that instead of going there for fielding practice, the first of the season, the candidates for the Yale nine remained in the cage at the gym nasium.
 The pitchers and catchers were given a half hours practice and the other men had little to do during the after noon. Van vleck, one of the pitchers who has been away for the past two weeks, was at the cage and pitching in good form
