James Rumsey's Successor.

Frank L. Johnson has bought himself a
splendid little gasoline motor, and is hav-
ing boat built to which it will be at
tached. The motor is a handy little en-
CINE IF two-horse power, compact and
easily manipulated. and he has had it
temporarily driving a rowboat this week
on the river. Ii sends the boat Swimming
over the water in lively style, and it will
afford Mr.. Johnson and his friends, we
have no doubt, vast deal OF pleasure as
they sail over the Potomac around Shep-
herdstown. The river here is beautiful,
and the boat can be driven up stream
about five miles before it meets a bar
rier-the fishpot wall at StillhouSe spring.

Another Deadlock.

AT the council meeting on Monday
night Caledonia Lodge Of Odd Fellows
made answer to the offer of the council
to give the lodge $500 if it would abandon
its quarters in the old market-house
building. The lodge refused to accept
the offer, whereupon the council with
drew its proposition. There is general
regret that the efforts to get rid OF this
unsightly old building have thus received
another setback. Ii is an undeniable
nuisance, and if it shall be abandoned by
the town council and the firemen it will
become even more so. Public sentiment
favors its removal, and we hope that
some means may yet be devised by which
if can be gotten rid of.

Mingled with the song he's humming.
That sounds TO me very sweet.
But interrupt his melody.

And ask him il he can't see
An occasion for wind.
Take this tear from mine eye,
And LEI me smile once more,
And cheer the people till they die,
