FLORENCE LOCALS.
The Fair.

The Fair at Florence is over and
it met with the success of the most
sanguine expectations Of the pro-
motors of the enterprs,
Something of the starting of it
might be interesting to the read

of other beats or to those who

At one Of the meetings of the
Farmers Union last spring the sub

ter the adjournment of the Union
the body resolved itself into a citi-
1zen's meeting and called another
meeting at a future time. This
meeting was not we'll attended and
! the prospects were rather gloomy
but a board of directors was APP
pointed consisting of men from

t-fne next call we had a pretty full
attendance.
The board Of directors was CON-
posed of good and energetic men
and men who wanted the fair and
they went to work and the public
knows the rest.

Different from Noses Time.

The Norwalk CO., Evening Herald
has an idea that things have changed a
good deal since the days of that great
but meek man Moses. 1t quotes Dean
Walter Williams of the school of
journalism at the University of Mis-
souri, as saying:
"Moses was the first great editor.
He wrote more graphically than to-
days newspaper would dare"
Maybe he was, replies the Herald
"But at that we will just venture the
guess that if the late Moses were in
the newspaper business today he would
have his troubles. Irate relatives of
Adam and of Noah and of Abraham
world hotfoot it down to where he had
his office and demand instant satisfac-
ton. The people of Sodom would order
their paper stopped to man and refuse
to pay up their back subscriptions.
And lawyers fees, defending him from
libel suits. would eat up his substance.
Furthermore, on top of all this, We'll
bet he would find himself in trouble
with the postoffice authorities before
the end of the first week.

PLANS FOR YOUCH
RIVER DAM MATURING
Garrett County Land Included in
100000 Acre Merger.

The purchase and merging of 100, 600
acres of coal land and coal properties
between Confluence, Pa. and Kendall,
Md, and the building of dam on the
1oughiogheny river above Kendall suf-
ficient to generate $50, OOO-horse power,
are features of a gigantic scheme dis
closed Friday.
For months engineers and draughts-
men have been busy on secret plans.
At the same time real estate men and
civil engineers have been active in the
field between Confluence and Kendall.
Friday it became known that merger
and power development scheme is well
under way and that Clarkson & Co.,
bankers, of New York, are back of it.
Pittsburg men also are interested.
The New York firm has agreed to
underwrite and take over the whole is
sue of bonds, covering the purchase of
more than 100000 acres of coal land
and properties along the Yough above
Connelsville. This will include the
Huff company mines. holdings and rail
roads, the kutz estate, its holdings and
options, all the mineral rights and mines
of the Whites creek branch of A. W.
Cook & Co., the Listonburg Coal Com
pany, Elk Lick Coal Company, Somer-
set Fuel Company and the Smith, Myers
& Co. mines at Anspatch.
1t is the intention to transmit electric
ity over a radius of so miles for manu-
featuring industries. In the general
scheme is the extension of the Ursina
& North Fork railroad into Somerset
county, opening up a virgin territory
rich in mineral resources. Another
branch will be extended up Whites
creek and another one up the Yough
valley to tap the coal fields being taken
oyer.
Connection with the Baltimore &
Ohio, with the proposed connecting
link between the Pittsburgh & Lake
Erie a, Connellsville and the w stern
Maryland at Cumberland, will place the
new concern in an advantageous posi-
ton. The third-rail system will likely
be used on the new roads

.FR|ENDSV|LLE REMAINS
DRY; THE VOTE IS TO 81
Drys Carry the Day Overwhelmingly
in the City on the Yough.

On Tuesday the annual municipal
election at Friendsyille was held when
the voters of that place cast an over
whelming vote against the proposition
to make the town wet.
Under the provisions of the charter
the question of license or no license
may be submitted to vote every year,
the election on Tuesday resulting the
same as that of one and two years ago
when the voters cast their ballots
against the proposition after two years
of extreme aridity. The town will re-
main arid for another year at least, and
if one is to judge by reports coming
from Friendsville yesterday it will be
in state of perpetual dryness for all
time to come, for the people have spoken
in no uncertain tone, the vote on Tues
day being Is for license and 81 against
license.
Outside influences were at work in
Friendsville to carry the day for license
but the interference of these non-voters
on a question vitality affecting the well
fare of its citizens was rebuked by the
people to such an extent that ii will be
a long time before the oratory and
influence imported from Oakland to
Friendsville to control municipal cleo
tiOns is again invoked
There We're two municipal tickets in
the field composed of candidates for
mayor and members of council, the win
nIng ticket being composed as follows:
For Mayor, John T. Geary; for Coun-
cilmen, William F. East, Alpheus
Welch and James w. Friend.
Their opponents were; For Mayor,
William H. H. Friend; for Councilmen,
B. F. Friend, Clinton Ringer and Charles
Glover.
The vote in detail was as follows:
For Mayor: John T. Geary, AZ;
William H. H. Friend Is.
For Councilmen: William F. East,

amendment at the next election of
members of the Legislature. The bill
was sent to MIR. Pairo by the Woman
Suffrage Association of Maryland
which has no interest in the bill giving
local suffrage for women in Baltimore.
Republican Floor Leader Pairo has
sent to the House engrossing- a
bill to amend the election law of the
State in regard to the printing of bal
lots. The bill, which will be introduced
in day or two, provides that the
Supervisors of Elections shall hold open
meetings to arrange the names on the
ballots. 1t also provides that the boxes
on the ballots for the cross marks shall
not be placed more than four inches
away from the longest name on the
ballot. In the counties where the law
does not provide for the alphabetical
arrangement of names, the bill pro-
vides that the names shall take position
by lots drawn by the Supervisor.
The bill further provides that the
voter may take with him to the polling
place any memorandum other than a
fac-simile of the ballot. The voter
may also insert on his ballot any name
not on the ballot.

Other things have, of course, been
done. Bills have been introduced and
referred to committees after the force
of clerks have engrossed them. These
bills number possibly $50. 1t is, how
ever, the net results for which the peo-
pie are paying, and these results can be
estimated by the pills passed.
While the net results have been
rather small, so far as the people are
concerned, the politicians have done
something for themselves. They have,
for instance, put 10 men on the pay
rolls. These men are put on the rolls
as favor to the members. They are
expected to appreciate the favor aud to
stand by the men who helped them to
help their friends. Buttressed with
this support, the members are expect
ed to line up to do up the Governor, if
he should invite doing up, and help
out generally in doing the things that

ONE MAN KILLED AND
TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED
BY Being Run Down by Train No. SIS
tuesday Afternoon Near Oakland.

tuesday afternoon at point two and
a half miles west of Oakland train No.
So, which passes through here at 1888
O'Clock, ran down three of a total of
SIX section hands engaged in repairing
the track, one of whom, Columbus La
fayette McRobie, was killed instantly,
and two others. George McRobie. son
of the dead man, and Ellis C. Taylor,
were seriously injured, the former
probably fatally
Tram 90 was running on the east
bound track owing to the breakdown of
a freight engine at the station here and
the blocking of the westbound track as
a consequence, the passenger train
having been shifted to the opposite
track at Mountain Lake Park with or
ders to occupy that track as far west as
Hutton. The trackmen, being located
so far from telegraph station, had no
notice that the train would run on the
wrong track and they were caught I'M
awares while performing their duties in
making necessary repairs to the east
bound track.
According to a statement made by
one of the men train 50 did not sound
an alarm and the men knew nothing of
its close proximity until it was almost
upon them when one of the trackmen
happened to look up and saw the engine
very close. He jumped and at
the same time gave a shout of warning
to his companions, two of whom es-
capped without injury.
Mr.. McRobie was struck full in the
head and was thrown a distance of
more than thirty feet, his death being
instantaneous.
His son, George, was struck in the
small of the back and received a bad
wound in the back of his head. Since
his injury he has been unconscious.
Mr.. Taylor's right leg was broken be-
low the knee, his left leg badly strained
and he also received two cuts on his
head.
The dead man as well as the injured
ones were picked up by the train and
taken west to Terra Alta where the re-
mains of the deceased were prepared
for burial and sent to his home in Oak
land yesterday morning. His age was
past fifty-three years. The funeral
will occur tomorrow with interment
near Deer Park.
The two injured men were taken on
to Fairmont and placed in the Miners
Hospital where they are receiving treat
ment. Jack McRobie, brother of one
of the INJURED men returned from Fair
mont yesterday afternoon and stated
this morning that his brother had not
spoken since he was hurt and that his
chanches for recovery were slight.
Mr.. Taylor is doing extremely well and
unless something unforeseen occurs he
will recover The latter was recently
married to Miss Daisy Glaze, young
woman of Oakland, while the former is
unmarried.
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was
held by Coroner E. |. West for the pur-
pose of fixing the responsibility for the
death of Mr.. McRobie. The jury view
ed the remains and after due delibera-
tons brought in verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by the meg
ligence of the B. & O. r. R, Company
through their engineer on train No 50
on said date by not giving proper warn
ing to said employee who was then and
there working on said eastbound track. "
