rlayor of Terra Alta Resigned.

TerrasAlta, W. Va, is in the market
for government by commission or any
other form of municipal administration
with peace-on-ea rth-good- will-towards-
men as a basis. The chief executive,
DR.. S. NJ. Scott, ST., threw up the
sponge on Thursday and very en-

ment would, develop wings and be ready

being human and occasionally under
stress inclined to iracibility, stood for
the situation some three months, and
on Thursday night rendered his resigna-
ton in rather high dudgeon.
The grievances of the warning fac
tionsssingularly enough center in the
town cemetery, or rather in the man
agementlof the silent city of whited
sepulchres. " The mayor is said to
have been in favor of keeping the
cemetery gates locked and even went
so far as to fine one gentleman for tres
passing q The sexton of the cemetery

OLD MILL CHANGES HANDS.
w. E. Stanton Succeeds Eli Stanton q
Son in Milling and Mercantile
Business.

An important change has taken place
in the ownership of the historic Stan
tons mill, at Little Crossing, at the
foot of the ridge on which the town of
GrantsYille, Md, is situated. By deal
contaminated last week, the old mill
passes to the sole ownership of William
E. Stanton from Eli Stanton & Son, I'M
der whose joint ownership it has been
operated for some years. The senior
member of the firm, who owned and
conducted the mill for the greater part
of his lifetime, practically retired sew
eral years ago, leaving the active man.

while his father, who has reached his
three score years and ten, will no longer
have his name associated with the prop

The new owner is of the third genera

operated the mill at Little Crossing

the late William Stanton, who was the
chief miller in this loyalty half a CEN
fury ago. The present mill was erected
in 1856 on the foundation Of primitive
mill built on the old Braddock road in
the early part of thenineteenth century.
The original mill at Little Crossing was
erected before the National Pike was
built, and for 100 years, at least, the
water power Of the Casselman river
has been utilized at this point to drive
the whirring millstones.
Many historic associations cling
around this old MILL 1t is one Of the
best and most pictureque mill sites in
this entire section of country. The
beautiful stone arch which spans the
Casselman at this point is one of the
most enduring landmarks on the old
National Pike. The Little Crossing
bridge is now nearly 100 years old, and
but for the fact that its side walls have
been toppled over into the river by
vandals and mischevous boys, it is as
solid and enduring as the day it was
built Stanton's Mill and the Little
Crossing bridge are two landmarks
that will always be associated in the
minds of former residents of Grants

Gen. Grant on his trip abroad was re-

President. His splendid courage, his
remarkable ability, his fighting quail

his wise efforts for the worlds peace,
his hatred of rottenness in public life,
his frankness of speech and his defense
of the common people against the en-

people and attracted the attention of
the people of other lands. All Ameri-

WEST VIRGINIA WON.

All danger of war between Maryland
and West Virginia is averted; the long
standing boundary line dispute has
been settled by the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, de-
livered through Justice Day. West
Virginia wins, and Maryland extends
congratulations There are no hard
feelings on this side of the Potomac.
and West Virginia, having secured the
low-tide slice for which she was con-
tending is, of course, willing to hold out
the glad hand and swear eternal friend
ship. The survey, in accord with the
court finding, is vet to be made, but
that is mere matter Of detail. West
Virginia may take possession Of the
disputed territory at once and fence it
in if she so desires.
The matter of political boundary
lines has not operated in the past to
prevent an extensive pooling of inter-
ests between the two states. They are
literally bound together by bonds of
steel. Baltimore takes pride and sat q
faction in the reflection that, COM
mercially speaking, this city is Just as
much the metropolis of West Virginia
as of MARYLAND. Baltimore capital has
been going into the Mountain State for,
loi these many years, and Maryland
during the past half century has sent
thousands of her young men and young
women across that disputed boundary
line.
West Virginia is not merely regarded
as being within Baltimore's sphere of
influence is one of the most
cherished and highly priced areas with
in the sphere She is Baltimore's Col
conda, whence have come black dia-
monds in quantities sufficient to string
a mile-wide necklace around the world.
She is our land Of promise, overlooking
with milk and honey. We have lost
the low-tide strip, and, having lost it,
we are mighty glad that West Virginia
has got it. Baltimore News.

GOVERNMENT AND THE RAILROADS

From Washington comes the lmpOr-
tant announcement that the President
and representatives of the Western
trunk line committee of railroads have
agreed upon a modus vivendi. The rail-
road companies agree to withdraw the
increased rates which had been made
effective June l and to abide by the
terms of the new railroad law which is
about to pass IN Congress. In consider
alton of this new attitude the President
agrees to withdraw the suit for an in
junction as soon as the new law becomes
effective.
This seems to be q wise compromise.
1t will leave the question of the propri-
ETY. or admissibility of higher freight
rates to be settled under the new law.
Just what the exact terms of the new
law will be cannot yet be told 1t has
not been determined whether the House
will accept the Senate amendments or
whether the bill go to conference.
But, IN any event. the bin will shortly
become law, and the present conten-
ton about the advance in freight rates
may serve to test its efficiency. More
than likely, it will be left to the Inter
State Commerce Commission to deter
mine the matter in controversy. 1t that
case, it will be determined IN an orderly
manner after a full and fair hearing.
The agreement will almost certainly
avert anything like panicky condition,
and the railroad companies will doubt
less have the good sense to drop all talk
of reprisals, such as countermanding
orders for equipment and the abandon
ment of construction.
