FAIR ASSOCIATION FINED.

The Hagerstown Fair Association
which was recently indicted for per-
hitting gambling at the recent fair,
pleaded guilty through its attorney,
Mr.. J. Clarence Lane, to the sixth
count in the ndictment-knowingly
permitting the gambling.
Judge Henderson imposed fine of
800 and the costs, the latter amount
ing to $3.50. The maximum fine is
$500, with an imprisonment clause.
Attorney Lane, in pleading guilty,
stated to the Court that the men who
were at the head of the fair associa-
ton were persons of honor and integ-
rity, and the practice of permitting
games on the fair grounds had grown
up and was tolerated by the people.
He spoke of the custom of having
raffies at church fairs.
Judge Henderson, in a few re-
marks, stated that in view of all the
circumstances and as the fair associa-
ton would have to stop the practice
of allowing gambling devices on the
grounds, he would not impose the
maximum penalty.

To Mark Old BraddOck Road.

A movement has been started among
patriotic societies of Maryland and the
District of Columbia to mark the old
Braddock road, leading from Baltimore
to the Ohio. The proposition is to out
line the road for the most part with
cairns of the special rocks or marbles
peculiar to the different localities along
the way. As practical Inauguration of
the movement the Janet Montgomery
Chapter Daughters of the Revolution OF
Montgomery county,. will shortly make
a pilgrimage to the Devils Feather
Bed" near Gaithersburg, and there erect
cairn Of the beautiful white quartz rock
with which that section abounds.
1t is not simply as remainder OF
Braddock's march that the Daughters of
the American Revolution would save the
old route from obliteration. When the
United States built its first highway, the
National road, the general alignment OF
Braddock's route was followed. Brad
docks road in turn was merely widen
ing and deepening of the Indian trail
used by Washington for his expedition
into Ohio Valley two years before.

Mrs. GlOninger's Summer Home at Mt.
St. Mary's Burned to the Ground.


Mt. St. Mary's, Nov. 3O.-On Sunday
morning about noon fire destroyed Valley
View, the summer home of Mrs. Ledlie
Gloninger, near Mt. St. Mary's.
The fire was first noticed by one of
Mrs. Gloninger's children. who at once
alarmed the neighbors, who ran to the
scene. Through the prompt action of
her neighbors and the students of the
college al the furniture was saved; but
owing to the scarcity of water and the
strong wind it was impossible to save the
structure. In less than three hours after
the fire was discovered the house was
burned to the ground. The cause of the
fire is unknown but it is thought it was
caused from defect in the chimney.
The loss, which was heavy. is covered by
insurance.
Valley View was formerly the resi-
dence of Miss Mary Elder, and is stu
ated about one-half mile south west
from Mt. St. Mary's College, but re-
Gently was purchased by Mrs. Gloninger
from Mr.. E. G. Eckenrode of Baltimore.
Mrs. Gloninger wishes to express her
sincere thanks through the columns of
the CLARION to all who in any way as
sisted her at the fire on Sunday.

the country within the economical
reach of every citizen. The telegraph
service is closely similar to the mail
service and it ought to be no more
difficult to send telegram than
letter. It is probable that at an early
day correspondence may be possible
by wireless messages; in such case,
Congress ought to prohibit it, except
as controlled and regulated by the
Government.
The fight between the insurgent
Senators and those who support Aid
rich and Cannon is already begun.
It could not wait for the assembling
of Congress. Speaker Cannon is de-
Tending himself like veteran OF the
10th legion, but it is remarked that
he is on the defensive and there is
significance of apology in this atti-
tude. The trip of Mr.. Aldrich
through the West as missionary to
teach and to learn, it is said, had
other object than proposed central
bank bill in view. 1t is claimed by
the insurgent Senators that his real
object was to ingratiate and strength
en- himself with the adherents OF
those who opposed his tariff policy on
the floor of the senate. 1t is possible
that four or five Senators from the
East may control the legislation OF
the country for a few months longer
but the West is felt more and more
in the halls of Congress and its asser-
ton cannot be kept down forever.

A new organization of ice-cream
manufacturers of the state was form
ed last Saturday night in the Hotel
Raleigh, Baltimore, and will be
known as the Association of Ice-cream
Manufacturers of Maryland. The
object is the protection of ice-cream
manufacturers against those who
manufacture ice-cream in an unsani-
tary way. The organization intends
to bring to the attention Of the next
Legislature the fact that its members
have some suggestions to make for
the national pure-food law before it
is passed in its present shape.

sold large quantities of goods in Wash

tice Hartle at Hagerstown of selling goods
without peddler's license. Four or five
witnesses, who bought goods from them,
testified. The defendants sold cloth for
mems suits in various parts OF the coun-
ty. They took out traders license and
claimed they did not need peddler's H.
cense, as they sold by samples, having a
room in Hagerstown, where the patterns
were cut. The justice imposed fine OF
$25 and costs on each. Attorney Weant
who represented the defendants took an
appeal. Mr.. Weant contends that ped
dler's license, which costs 500, is not
necessary in case in which the party
does business as the accused were doing
