B. & O. R. R. SOLD ITS MINES.
Western Maryland Railroad Still
Owns Large Coal Interests,

{ -NA So SooA AhACLCSiSt
Baltimore railroad men are very
much interested in the case to test
/ the commodity clause" of the
Hepburn law prohibiting railroads
from owning commodities shipped
over their lines, except such as
, are regarded for their own use as
. common carriers.
The Baltimore and Ohio antici-
pated the operations of the law
when it separated the Georges
Creek coal mines, most of which
i owned, from the railroad pro-
perty some time ago. This is the
Consolidation Coal Company,
which was an adjunct of the rail-
road corporation, the executives
OF the one also directing and cor
trolling the other. This property
was sold to Messrs. c. W. Wat
son, J. H. Wheelwright and their
associates more than a year ago.
They now operate and presumably
own it, though it is admitted that
they have so years in which to
make payment, the instaIlments of
price covering that length of time.
In the meantime the Baltimore
and Ohio derives its profit from its
haul of the output and to this ex-
tent it is certainly no worse off
than when it owned and operated
the mines.
The Western Maryland Railroad
Company owns extensive coal
mines in West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg branch. This is
recognized as one of the chief
sources of revenue to the company
as it sells the bulk of this coal,
though it also consumes a great
deal in the operation of its trains.
The Western Maryland being in
the hands of receivers by order of
the United States Circuit Court, is
necessarily ward of that court
and Will continue 10 be until re-
organization is effected and the
receivers discharged, If the pen
altles provided in the Hepburn
law, therefore, were now effective
and enforced the receiver would
naturally refer the matter to the
court, of which he is only an off
Ger, for adjudication and settle
ment What the court would do
in such an emergency cannot be
conjectured. AS was aptly said
in the discussion of the matter bv
transportation official, 1T is
bridge which probably will not be
crossed until it is reached.
Mr.. Winslow S. Pierce. former
president of the Western Mary
land Railroad, and now general
counsel for George J, Could, is in
Baltimore in connection with the
receivership of the Western Mary
landr He is stopping at the Hotel
Belvedere, Baltimore.
Mr.. +. 5. Landstreet, former
vice-president of the same road, is
also at the hotel, and called upon
Mr.. Pierce. 1t was rumored that
they were in consultation with a
prominent attorney regarding the
receivership, but this was denied
by both. Mr.. Pierce said that he
was here in an advisory capacity
for the convenience of the re-
ceiver, and for that reason only.
Later in the evening Mr.. Land
street consulted his attorney, Mr..
Edgar H. Cans, and said that his
visit to Baltimore was in connec-
ton with the suit instituted
against him in the county court,
which case was called at Towson
yesterday.

Light From Windmills.

On the Danish island of Sjalland
there is an electric lighting system
which is driven by a windmill.
The wheel is 10 feet in diameter,
and is sdpported by a tower -
feet high. The area of the blades
exposed to the wind is $40 square
feet, and with a wind blowing at
the rate of % feet second the
mill will give SO horsepower.
The speed is then ~ revolutions a
minute. Current is supplied to
378 incandescent and six arc
lamps, besides several small mo-
tors.

the pupils and IS also arousing
much interest among the farmers
Of the county. Some of the county
papers are devoting part of a
column each week TO the Calvert
school. The principal visits other
schools in the vicinity for the pur-
pose OF getting their teachers and
pupils interested in agricultural
subjects.
The regular work of the school
begins with the seventh year, but
at the present time some sixth
grade work is being done in order
to allow the other schools to bring
their work up to a point where it
will marticulate with the Calvert
course.
Professor Sampson is assisted by
his sister, Miss Nevada B. Samp-
son, of Mason City, Iowa, and
Miss H. Louis Mann, of Wash
ington.
Being out in the country, the
pupils have to come in from a dis
lance, many driving their horses
and stabling them in sheds near
by. A more enthusiastic lot
have seldom seen. The girls are
fully as much interested as the
boys. When a corn show was
held in the town a year ago the
girls asked that they, too, might
compete, and made as good show
ing as the boys.
They propose to use the suitable
land-about five aCres-for expert
mental plots. They have helped
the farmers directly by spraying
orchards, under the direction of
Professor Sampson, compromising
rations, mixing fertilizers, treat
ing oats for smut and testing
seeds. The work has been so
practical that the plants and far
mers generally appreciate the good
work and are the most enthusiastic
supporters of the school. Surely
such practical education is in itself
a blessing, and not only engenders
a love for agriculture but inclines
those receiving it to avail them
selves of the higher education of
our agricultural colleges, and puts
them in proper shape for what is
given there.
There has been $1,000 granted
by the state for a new building.
Up to this time what has been
done has been by local support,
with the aid of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington in de-
failing Professor Sampson for this
work in an old dilapidated build
ing and with crudely made ap-
paratus. Edward Van Alstyne,

UNION CHURCH
Annual Meeting Held and Reports of
Good Year Made Officers were
Elected.

The annual meeting of the Union
Church which was held at the Parish
House last Saturday was most sue
cessful The dinner served by the
women of the church was unusually
good, and was partaken of by 1877 peo-
pie. including the walters. This was
more than was expected, because Of
the bad weather.
Nearly sixty people stayed to the
church meeting after the dinner The
meeting was opened by singing
Christ for the world we sing" a
scripture reading by DIR. Thomson
and prayer by the Rev. Howard Hud-
son. The pastors report showed that
good year had been passed, and at
the same time asked for greater spir-
ltual earnestness and more time spent
In prayer. The report Of the assis-
tant pastor showed the great extent
OF the outside work Of the church.
The West End Chapel has been built
during the last year. the Blue Lick
house and that at Narrow Gap have
been improved, besides the carrying
on OF regular meetings at these places
and at Bear Knob and Ferristown.

The report of the clerk showed that
there are now AIS persons on the rolls
Of the church, there having been 26
additions by confession Of faith and
seven by letter in the last year, while
sixteen persons have been dismissed
by letter. two have died and two have
been dropped
The report OF the treasurer showed
that the total receipts in the year
had been s3.45762, as follows: From
subscriptions sl.494.71. from the mis-
cellaneous collections s63.67. old sub
scriptions s61.25. college s699.95, room
rent and use of building s51.00. benev-
olences si93s4, and for extension
work. including $3.50 borrowed. sS93.10
Beside the amount given thru the
church for missionary purposes 1t was
learned that members of the church
have contributed enough to make the
total contributions of church MEM
bers for missionary purposes S354.72
or this all has been spent but $3.50.
The church debt remains where it
was at $500. 1t was hoped that this
would be greatly reduced during the
year, and the treasurer reported that
there were enough unpaid subscrip-
lions to pay 5000 OF it. AS 1t is, the
extraordinary expenses of the church
were about $3.50. SO it is believed
that IL the income keeps up during
the present year the debt can be re-
duced
