Westminster Gets a Jar.

Westminster, Md, Jan. "a. .-Specula-
tion is still rife here concerning the mys-
terious force by which this city and the
county along the Western Maryland Rail-
road from Falls Station to Thurmont
were shaken shortly after 9 O'Clock last
night, but no solution or explanation of
the phenomena has been found. That
the force was not confined to narrow
limits seems certain, as its heavy deton-
alton was heard at Thurmont, at the
foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 20
miles west of this point. DR.. H. M.
Fitzhugh, physician of this city, who
was making professional visit at Car
rollton, five miles east of Westminster,
heard it distinctly and thought it was
caused by the explosion of powder
house. Like every other person in this
city, he is unable to account for It.
1t sounded like an explosion and pro-
duced jarring effect dissimilar to that
felt in an earthquake. 1t has been sug-
gested that this might have been caused
by the explosion of meteor in midair,
but as no unusual light was seen by per-
sons on the streets when it occurred that
theory is not regarded as satisfactory.

HOPES TO SAVE $500. 900.

Washington, Jan. 24.-By an or
der issued today, PostmasterGeneral
Hitchcock expects, according to esti-
mates made, to effect a saving to the
Government of approximately $780,
900 year. The order requires post
masters to account for the excess rev.
enue derived from the sale of stamp
ed envelopes and newspaper wrap
pers, singly and in lots,
Heretofore stamped envelopes and
newspaper wrappers have been charg-
ed to postmasters at specified sum
thousand. In sales of lots, how
ever, a few cents were gained over
the fixed charges and the profit or
excess was retained by the postmast-
ers with the knowledge and ap proval
of the department, and was applied
to the correction of errors in the max
ing Of change and to like purposes.
Under the new order, postmasters
will have to charge themselves with
the difference between the invoice
value of the stamped envelopes and
newspaper wrappers and the amount
received from their sale.
The auditor of the department fig
ures that the savings will amount to
fully S15O,OOO year and, perhaps,
to 100000.
Catoctin clarion., 1910-01-27

number of the leading magazines will
send representatives to Washington
to enter an emphatic protest at that
time.
Arrangements have been made by
the War Department for the maneuv-
ers to be held in various parts OF the
country during the coming sum-
mer. 1t is expected that Congress
will appropriate 81, $4,000 for these
Joint maneuvers in which the regular
forces and the state militia partici-
pate. An allotment will be made OF
$3.50, 900 for coast defense exercises,
to be held at forts along the coast in
the neighborhood of the big cities and
in which a limited force of state mill
tia will participate. The schedule
which has been prepared embraces a
larger force than has hitherto been
engaged in these exercises. The De-
partment is convinced that the gath
ering together in joint practice of
state and regular soldiers works a
great benefit to both classes of soldiers.

SEGREGATION OF CONsUMPTIvEs

One of the farthest reaching items
in the Legislative program OF the Ma
ryland Association for the Prevention
and Relief of tuberculosis for this
year places this Association on record
in favor of the segregation in state
institution of those people who are
suffering from tuberculosis in such
an advanced state as to make them a
danger if allowed to remain at large
in the community. Such persons
are known to physicians and health
officials as ''pus distributors. AS a
rule they are not careful to see that
all of their sputum is destroyed, SO
they pass tuberculosis along to other
other people. Each consumptive who
dies, unless he has been very careful
in his habits, may usually be charged
with at least three other cases con-
tracted from him during the period
of his illness, when he was a pus
distributor"
The legislature of Maryland which
for the last eight years has been in
clined to seek and accept the best ad-
vice in matters relating to tuberculo-
sis will be urged to make some pro-
vision for the isolation of advanced
consumptives. The State Association
will ask it's friends and supporters
throughout the State to discuss the
matter with their local delegates and
senators with a view to urging the
establishment of care for advanced
cases, to supplement the splendid
work now being done for incipients
at the State Sanatorium at Sabillas-
vile and at Eudowood, near Towson.

The home of Mr.. Thos. E. Lycett was

Flood Subsidies At Port Deposit.

Flood Subsidies At Port Deposit.
Last week Port Deposit, situated on
the Susquehanna river, experienced the
worst food in its history. A dispatch to
the Baltimore Sun, Monday, says:
"The danger of the ice appears to be
over here. The waters are receeding and
ice from the upper stretches of the run
seems to be moving freely.
FIFTY houses have been washed away,
two plants destroyed and railroad sta
ton moved across the track of the Col
umbia division of the Philadelphia. Bal
timore and Washington railroad. The
track for three miles is covered with ice
to the depth of from 2 to Is feet, and al
though steam shovels are working at
both ends it will be day or two before
the tracks are cleared.
''The property damage, it is estimated
will approximate $500, 900.
1.-THE Pennsylvania Railroad station is
wreck. Fifty feet of the roof has fall
en-, and it's foundations are seriously
damaged.
1.-THE waters, as they recede, leave the
streets piled high with ice. An employe
of the Pennsylvania railroad found by
actual measurement that the ice in front
of the railroad station reached height
of "a feet.
The Pennsylvania Railroadha 800 mer
engaged in clearing up the debris. The
Town Commissioners had between rs and
100 men at work clearing away the Is oil
20 feet of ice which blocks the main
street. The water is two feet deep ir
the street."
