How O'Rourke Lost.

Duncan J. Sloan, of North Baltimore,
Ohio, sent this week marked copy of
the Columbus (O.) State Journdi of last
Sunday containing an account of the
death recently of judge Norman S. Buck
in Spokane, Washington, pioneer resi-
dent of that city and section. He Is
represented as having been 'widely
known and popular" He was men,
Der of the legislature at the time of his
death, but his chief distinction grew out
of his record as a jurist, one decision
particularly arresting national attention
during the late sos while sitting in the
Occur ID Alene mining region. The
ownership of the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan Mine-the greatest silver lead pro-
Queer in the world, was at stake-a
property said to be still worth 10 mil
lions and having an annual output of
over 3 millions. The journal concludes
the story as follows:
The mine was located by Phil O'Rourke
and his partner during prospecting tour in
the winter of lSS4-S5 as a result of the I'M
covering of the outcropping through the
paving of pack mule which they had
found astray and appropriated. Dutch
jake GTtZ and Harry Bar owned the
mule, and Judge Buck decided that they
were therefore entitled to a grubstake in
terest in the NINE. They sold their interest
for 300, 900, which became the foundation
for much greater fortune accumulated in
business in this city
During the early '7O's Philip O'Rourke
was a resident of Vale Summit-then
Pompey Smash, and a citizen Of more
than the average of intelligence and en-
terprise. He took prominent part in
the politics of those days, dissenting,
however, from both the great parties.
In 1877 he was "Workingmen' party
nominee for the House of Delegates,
and of the 800 votes cast he polled LILO.
In 1889 the JOURNAL, on a western
tour. stopped day in Spokane to see
him, but he was then nearly 100 miles
distant-in the region, no doubt, where
the borrowed mule compromised so
materially his fortune.

The Cumberland Fair and Agricul-
tural Association meet next week-5th,
9th, 7th and Sth inst's will be an inter
esting occasion. At least, the prepara
tons making comprise an attractive
forecast.
Live stock. poultry, agricultural, hor
ticultural and mechanical exhibits will
be interesting features, while purses
and premiums aggregating $4,000 will
reward those who help to make the dis
play profitable and instructive.
The speed program, too, for each day
will draw; an air-ship will sail; auto
mobiles show up their best and several
sporting features will lure the lovers of
athletics to the grounds.
Altogether. the Fair will be worth
seeing.

Over the National Pike.

An interesting letter from a Grants
vile lady, September goth, indicates
that the ladies are also observant and
appreciativeo of goodroad improvements:
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Mrs Marion Broadwater, accompanied by
her daughters-Misses Ethel and Viola ;
Miss Kate Bruce, of Cumberland; Miss
Haidee Frost, of Kansas City, NO.. and Mrs
George Roger, of LOUISVILLE. Pa, made an
automobile trip. NJ. J. Miller owner and
chamfeur, to Uniontown, Pa, on Monday
9th inst, to visit the widow of Wallace J.
Frost, a cousin and four children making
a company of ten cousins who had not met
for a number of years.
We could not but note the growth of the
city, the fine buildings and handsome resi-
dences, and having the appearance of Pitts
burg from the numerous industries, coke
ovens etc.
The round trip of nearly eighty miles
needs to be taken to be appreciated. The
Summit HOuse-a splendid structure six
miles east of the town, may be mentioned,
and many other places of interest, and last,
but not least, the five miles of macadamIzed
road in Pennsylvania compared to the rough
and neglected roads of Garrett county.

YOU'VE GIANTS VS.. WHITE Sox
The second game of a series of three
between the white Sox" and Young
Giants" was played last Saturday at the
Frostburg Base Ball Park.
The latter won the second, as it had
the first. thus clinching the series, $50,
and 1.-The championship of the town.
The "Y. c." were in no danger at
any time during the game, winning easily
by 8 too.
The features were-the superior pitch
ing of McDade and the home run in the
first inning by A. Spitznos.
To the foregoing correspondent
adds
Lammert, at first was there with the
goods in the eighth inning when he stopped
a ball which would of caused the white
Soxn to score.
Well George Hunter, at second, was there
too. having seven chances, accepting and
taking all of them.
But how about Mater, at short? guess
he was there also. AT least, they all say So
Taddy, at third was there all the time the
game was going. If you don't believe it,
ask him.
A. Hunter was there likewise in the
second inning when he pulled one down
which caused lots of excitement when 1t
was hit.
Gerlach and Reldler also can tell you
about the game.
Well, guess Pfaff and his jump ball " ont

but by very clever work they were pre-

Carroll caught and gave very pref

Rodgers, at short, and Salb, at third,

Cooper, in left-feld. did some good
stunts, and he hit the ball harder and
oftener than any OF his teammates.
Stevenson, for Midland pitched a
good game, but his support at times was

A serious Crisis for the Counties.


A proposed amendment of the Constr
tuition of Maryland, limiting the sutf-
rage to white intelligence, is before the
people of Baltimore city and the coun-
ties for adoption or rejection.
One month from to-day it Is to be de-
termined by the States intelligence and
illiteracy, in joint convention at the
polls. whether the latter element OF the
States rOr D0puli shall continue to enact
the role of rOr Del in State government.
II is a momentous climaCterlc IN the
States history-the more intense because
the vote of the States chief city is the
factor that will most likely achieve the
result in either yea or nay event.
If, therefore, Baltimore favors the
amendment the negro will be disfran-
chised. and the contest utter for city
supremacy IN State legislation will be
waged between the whites OF the city
and the whites of the counties. with the
chances favoring the whites of the -.
IF Baltimore defeats the amendment,
however, the negro vote in 1911, i'll
already promised reciprocity. Will be
added en- aaSsf to the city's vote for city
imperialism over thessState.
To prevent this drer catastrophe,
at period so early the real fight should
be waged now-in electing Legislature
that, in spite of all party platform be
travals, will rote domn all propositions
embodying submission to the people two
years hence of city sovereignty over the
counties
Otherwise, people
