FOR Better ROADS.
A Correspondent Suggests Means Of
Betterins the Highways.

There has been considerable ia k
about better roads through the county
papers and other papers and journals,
but all has failed to- bring the desired
effect, not because the sentiment OF Ike
writer was not right but because there
is not enough interest taken .:by tie
right parties. First, the taxpayers
should be interested in general; second,
the county commissioners; third, the
supervisors and unless this is done road
affairs are likely to go on the come day,
go day style.
There does not seem to be much law
governing road affairs. If there is it
never has been enforced, at least we
would have to draw that conclusion
from observation, knowing there has
been money levied uncertain portions Of
road and four summers have passed and
no work done by the supervisor or by
his orders on certain portions of road
referred to. That portion Of road be-
comes dangerous to ride or drive oyer.
There surely must be something mater
tally wrong concerning such affairs as
this.
1t is my opinion before there will De
any great improvement in road affairs
there will have to be some considerable
changes made, for instance weed out
the supervisors down to one or two to
each district, get the right man in the
right place, give him something to DO
with and he will do something that will
be Of benefit. Give the supervisor 50. 80
der pay and the men that work under
him 81 per day, hire able bodied men
and see that they do honest work and
in three years there will be improve
ments in Garrett county roads. Able
bodied men can't be expected to work
on public roads for 50 or Is cents less
per day than they can get else where,
that Is not business. Why not get out
Of the old ruts OF paying SIS per day
and hiring boys to do men 5 work and
get but little done. Pay the price and
get the work. The farmers pay more
taxes each year, and suppose all other
property owners do the same. Are we
getting the benefit Of it in the right
way?
Nor AN OFFICE SEEKER BUT TAX PAYER.

THE HISTORY p or MARYLAND.
Et Book In Use BY Public School
Children Full of Errors.
he Editor Of The Republican:

To the Editor Of The Republican:
A few days ago l picked up a copy o.
text book used in the public schools
of our county, "The Leading Events
of Maryland History" it being the re
vised edition Of the work.
l am surprised that work containing
50 many inaccuracies and misstatements
should be used as a text book on Mary
land history in our public schools
Of course no historian can please
everybody and we do not expect per
lection in him any more than in other
people, but it does seem to me that the
revised edition of this work should have
been more correct and the errors which
appeared in the original or first edition
should have been corrected in the re-
vised edition. Take the article on Gar
rett county. With all due respect to
the author of this article we do not
think that there is a teacher in our
county but what would have done bet
ter. In the list of Garrett county towns
we find that Of Friendship. Doubt
less this was intended for Friendsville
as the name of that progressive town
Goes not appear. Then we are told that
the rivers and streams Of the county
abound with game fish, bass and trout,
and deer, pheasants and wild turkeys,
etc, make it the same sportsmen' S
paradise it was in the days Meshach
Browning, hunter and author
This is certainly news" to the most
ef us as we had supposed that condi-
tons had changed very materially since
the days when Meshach Browning had
performed his great feats as hunter,
the stories of which we read and were
delighted in our boyhood days
Surely the author of this article on
our great county (Which will in the
future become one of the leading agri-
cultural counties of the State) must
be taking a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, and
it does seem to me that the children Of
eur county are entitled to something
better as a text book Of the history Of
eur great State than they are given in
this book
Then on page 2O7 we are given a pic
of Granite Quarry, Woodstock
county" Mr.. Editor where is Wood
stock County? Is it on the Eastern
Shore" or in Western Maryland?
The idea of text book used in our
public school talking about Wood
stock county"
Some of US think perhaps the little
town of Woodstock on the mainline of
the B. & O. r. R., between Relay and
Mt. Airy is perhaps intended as there
are stone quarries there, but Wood
stock County, Oh, my.
These errors are in the revised edi-
ton. In my opinion there should be an
other revision of this work and that as
speedily as possible or its use should
be discontinued in our public schools.
Better have no guide than false one.

With a ioud report, which could be
heard for several miles, 3. & O. engine
1712 blew up near Altamont tower, on
the Seventeen Mile Grade, at $50
O'Clock Monday morning, injuring En-
gineer Frank Smith, residing on Fair
view street, Piedmont, w. Va. Mr..
Smith was blown out of the cab of his
engine for nearly a distance Of $50
yards below the bank, where he was
found shortly afterwards by Engineer
Savage Dayton, of train ahead. He
was found lying on his face, in an I'M
conscious condition. He was picked up
by Mr.. Dayton with the assistance of
his fireman and others, and brought to
his home in Piedmont on B. & 0. pas
senger train No. s, accompanied by DR..
Henry W. McComas, of Oakland, who
was summoned Immediately after the
accident, being on the scene within half
an hour after the explosion occurred.
From what could be learned, engine
l772, which is used as helping engine
from Piedmont, pushing trains up the
grade, had stopped below Altamont
block, and the fireman had gone up in
the telegraph tower for orders, the en-
CINE having previously uncoupled from
a train which it had pushed up the hill
While waiting for the fireman to return,
the engine let 90 with fearful effect,
the force Of the explosion hurting the
freboX back into the tender, break
ing the couplings and sending it back
on the track distance Of several hun
dred yards.
The ground and track for d consider
able space had a gaping hole torn in it,
as if wrecked by an earthquake. In
the short space Of time, the locomotive,
1772, large engine Of the ''turtleback
class. was mass Of unrccognizable
wreckage.
As soon as they could the fireman,
operator and several Of the crew of the
train ahead began to search for the
missing engineman, and several minutes
elapsed before his apparently Hfeless
form was found yards away below the
tracks. The injured man was made as
comfortable as possible. How he es-
capped from instant death seems almost
miraculous
An examination Of Mr.. Smith was
made 10y DR.. McComas and two Pied
mont physicians, but they We're unable
to locate any broken bones, or even an
abrasion Of the skin. The probabilities
are that he will suffer no serious conse-
. Quences as the result of his miraculous
experience

IRAMPS ROB
Freight CARS
EFFECT ENTRANCE INTO TWO
CARS OF MERCHANDISE AT
ARROW JUNCTION-PR0BABLY
DRIVEN FROM LEWISTON.

The Northern Pacific company re-
ports the robbery OF two boxcars
left standing on the sidetrack at Ar
row junction last night. The cars
were loaded with general merchan-
disc and a quantity OF clothing
shoes, cigars, tobacco and butter
was taken. Entrance to the cars
was effected by breaking the doors,
and while no distinct clues were
left, the special agents Of the rail-
way company expect developments
on the case within short time.
The recent influx of tramps and
undesirable persons into the coun-
try has resulted in numerous petty
offenses being committed. The To-
cal police department has been per-
sistent in Kidding the city OF the
tramp element, and it is believed
the robbery at Arrow Junction has
been committed by parties who
were driven from the city.
