REPUBLICAN A~SSEMBLYMEN
STILL MUTE ON r. r. RATES.

The Republican legislators are shirk-
ing the rate-ffght query of the Com
muters' League Of New Jersey.
The silence of the eleven members of
the House of Assembly from Essex
county is exciting ~unfavorable COM
ment from the officers of the league.
The questions asked each lawmaker
are, first, If he is in favor of a special
session of the Legislature, and, second,
If he woul vote, in h event of such q
session being held, in favor of con-
ferring upon the Public Utilities Com
mission the power to fix railroad rates
of fare.
Senator Harry v. Osborne telephoned
Secretary e. ID. McKown yesterday,
apologizing for not having written be-
fore, but explaining that he has been
busy. He said, however, that he is in
favor of the special session would
vote for giving the rate-making power
to the commission. Senator Osborne is
q Democrat. while all the Essex county
Assemb ymen and Republicans, which
accounts, in the view of the league, for
the promptncss of the one and the
dilatoriness of the others.
II have always been a red-hot Re-
publican" said President Howard Mar
shall, of the league, "but I am certain
that the conduct of the legislators in
this matter will wipe the Republican
party out in this State next fall. The
Governors attitude has also been q
great mistake, I believe. If he fails to
call the special session of the Legis-
lature the death of the Republican
party in the State will be ~chargeable
to him."
Our failure to hear from a single
one of the eleven men from Essex
begins to look significant" said Secre-
tary McKown. Nineteen have n
swered in one way or another so far,

ATT'Y-GEN. SAYS BOARD
CAN'T STOP RATE RAISE.
[rrom a star Correspondent

TRENTON, July 5.-The Board of
Public Utility Commissioners was adj
eral Wilson today that proceedings to
prevent the Erie and ~Susquehanna rail-
roads from raising their rates could not
be successfully maintained in the Court
of Chancery.
The commission recently gave a hear
ing to determine whether a lease be-
tween the roads authorized by an act
of 1898 was still in force. Counsel for
the railroad argued that 1t was not,
n that therefore the commission
could not enforce a provision of the
act of 1898 prohibiting any raise of
rates.

but not one Of these Republican Assem-

but not n OF these Republican assem-
blymen.
"They are the men on whom we
ought to rely to help us in our fight
against h higher rates, but we have
not had a word from them. 1t speaks
i'll for the Republican party, to say the
least. I venture to predict hat next
fall these men will be shown the error
of their ways, If not at the primaries
then at the election in November. 1t
will mean the utter out of the party,
for the Commuters League has many
thousands Of votes back of It,"
McKown said that he had heard it
reported that the State Republican
Committee contemplated issuing a de-
nunciation of the Governor for his fall
ure to answer the challenge of Presi-
lent of the Senate Joseph 8. Freling-
huysen to call a special session Of the
Legislature.

1 The Eckhart Branch Railroad was
built by the Maryland Mining Company
about 1916 People walked from and to
| Frostburg to get on and off t'ainS. The
writer's grandmother was one of the
many who did this during her school
days.
The old Washington mine was opened
| by Crawford Shearer, mine foreman, in
| 1913.
The old Stone Church which used to
stand near the present grave yald was
built by a man named Robertson, and
used bv the Episcopal denomination,
later as ii schOol-house. 1t was torn
| down by the Consolidation Coal Com
pany about 10 years ago
The first store in Eckhart Mine was
owned by Mr.. James II. HoblitZell, sit
uated on the site now occupied by the
| Wilson store.
The first house built IL Eckhart Mine
was IA log structure on the lot now
owned by Mr.. f. j. Decker. 1t was
| built over so years ago and torn down
i'll 1882 to give place to the present
structure. There was also IL shanty
built at The Granville Spring" occu-
pied by an old woman named Granville
The old mill, of which [ have made
mention, was occupied during those
early days by man named Winter
who was killed i'll the water wheel.
| For a long time thereafter the old mill,
believed to be haunted, was was given Il
wide berth by many residents.
The Aetna Mine, Mr.. William Parker,
superintendent, was opened i'll 1870, but
operated only IA short time.
In those days Indians travelled down
the National Road through Eckhart to
see The Great White Father the
President of the United States.
About o'clock every evening six
stagecoaches would pass-one Il mail
coach. A boy would take two horses for
each team from Eckhart to tlar, sville,
making SIX horses for each coach, to en-
able them to get over the mountains on
their way to st. Louis.
Great drOveS OF cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep and turkeys passed very frequent
ly through EcEhart from the west to
the eastern markets.
In 1873 James X. Polk passed through
Eckhart on his way to Washington to
be inaugulated President Of the United
States.
The first public school editice built in
ECkhart Is the one on the mn now OCcu-
pied by MIR. James NJ Mar.

Eckhart can boast of being the birth
place and home during It's history of Il
great many of the county's best and
most prominent families
The town has "A population of about
1000, public school second in efficiency
to none in any place of its size, with an
attendance averaging between 300 and
100 pupils. Moreover, we can safely
lay claim to having the cleanest and
prettiest mining town i'll the Georges
Greek coal region.
Coal is mined here by the Consolida
ton Coal Company and the Piedmont
and Georges Creek Coal Company with
up-to date system, including electric
haulage.
Eckhart has two fine churcheS-Meth-

not incorporated, owing to the fact that
most of the land and prop"lt y is owned
by the Constellation and other coal
companies.
The town is well supplied with natu-
raj gas for light aud fuel as Well as coal
In short, we have fifteen stores. seven
saloons, three barber-shopS, one cold

room, one free library, two public halls

both Eckhart and Frostburg, as "A camp

1909 from Fort Meyer. Virginia, to a
State cncampment at Somerset, Penn

The inhabitants of Eckhart consist
entirely Of the white racc-maiuly of
Irish, Welsh and German descent.
Our town has been the scene of several
turbulent and serious labor troubles, es-
pccially the "StrikeS' Of 1882 and 1894
and one or two others of minor import
anCe resulting in loss to the working
people. In 1894 terms had been agreed
upon through delegates at Cumberland;
the men had accepted them and resumed
work, but the famous labor leader. Will
liam Is. Wilson, now Congressman
from Pennsylvania, came along and
stirred them up to AGAIN quit work.
All did quit except the E.khart Mine
employees, who had to fight their way
to work, and, with the assistance of
their noble women, they continued to
work notwithstanding the protestations
of the labor leaders. 1t became ueceS-
sary for Governor Frank Brown to call
ont the State militia to restore order
The Cumberland and Westernport
Electric Railway was built through
Eckhart in 1902, and is great convent
ence to the people.
During the Civil War the Government
established and maintained a hospital
