That New Road.

The Improvement of the public road
leading from Thurmont to Graceham has
somehow come to a stardstill. Consider
able work was done under direction OF
the committee named to take charge OF
this work. A portion of the street was
filled with stones, the stones were broken
and dirt from side drains thrown on them
to make the road passable.
The road was then supposed to be
ready for coat of lime stone. That
stone crusher which was soon to be idle
and which was to be brought to Thur
mont to crush stone for the road, got a
new job thurst on it in the vicinity of
Sabillasvile and Deerfield. The new
crusher which was then 70 be unloaded
at Thurmont in a few days has never
been ordered
The road of which we speak is f. Mair
street, that portion taken in the taxable
limits of Thurmont last spring, has beer
made-made muddier than it has beer
for twenty years.
Residents living in that vicinity wish.
ing to cross the road are obliged to wade
through this mud, the Commissioners OF
Thurmont seeming loath to put down a
crossing for their convenience. If this
same condition is to continue to exist,
why should these people be asked to pa,
taxes. Surely they are entitled to some
relief.

Ice Plant AT ThurmOnt.

Owing to certain amount of trouble
and uncertainty about getting and stor-
ing ice, Wisotzkey Bios, confectioners,
of this place, some time ago purchased
the lot of ground and the building lately
known as the wrapper factory building
located on E. Main street, their intention
being to nse the building and machinery
for the purpose of manufacturing and
storing ice. Workmen are now engaged
in fitting the building for this purpose.
1t is now the intention of these gentle
men to put in machinery sufficient to
manufacture two tons of ice every twenty
four hours. If the demand for ice justi-
fies the expenditure of more money, ar
engagements will be made to install a
much larger plant.

Freight Wrecked At Logs.
Four Cars Destroyed; Canned
Goods Strewn Along Track.

Wrecks on the Western Maryland rail
road continue in more or less regularity,
the damage to rolling stock, and loss and
inconvenience to shippers generally be-
ing heavy.
The last wreck, perhaps, occurred last
Saturday night at Logs, this county.
The train was double-head through
freight going west, there being % cars
attached to the engines. The trouble
was caused by the heating of journal
on the car next to the engine, it becom-
, ing so hot that it broke into. Six cars
were deraied, four of them be complete
, ly demolished They were loaded prin-
cipally with canned goods, and much of
this was destroyed.
The track was torn up for some dis
lance and traffic blocked until late Sun
day afternoon. Passengers were trans
ferred around the wreck during the day.
1t is said the wreck could have been
avoided had the crew in charge of the
train left the car on the siding at Rocky
Ridge instead of trying to get it to the
Thurmont yard and leave it on siding.
On Tuesday another freight wreck &C.
Cured on the w. M. railroad. The train
was entering switch east of Deerfield,
and had cleared the main track only a
few feet, when the engine and five load
ed cars left the rail. The train was go
ing slow and but little damage was done.

Big Storm Sweeps Coast.
Much Damage Done Vessels
And Property On Ocean Front.
Conditions Locally.

The storm on Saturday and Sunday
last wrought havoc along the Atlantic
coast and further injured property dam
aged by the storm along the Jersey coast
on Christmas night.
At Atlantic City, Young's ocean pier
was entirely washed away by the mighty
waves of the ocean, and about 500 feet
of the Million Dollar Pier is gone. Cost
ly pavilions along the beach were dam
aged so much that they had to be closed
to the public. Much of the boardwalk is
damaged, and mary small crafts were
driven ashore and wrecked.
Sea Bright, Longport and Margate
City, were hit hard by the storm, many
cottages in these places having washed
away by the waves.
At Rehoboth, Del, number of pavil-
ions were damaged, boardwalks and other
property washed away.
While the coast was being dashed by
the waves, this immediate territory was
receiving driving rain and snow. Be-
ginning Friday night about II o'clock,
snow began falling. During Saturday
and Sunday many changes of temperature
took PLACE, snow and rain falling in turn
or both at the same time. This continu-
ed until Monday afternoon when the
clouds broke and let little sunshine
through.
From the foot of the mountains east
and south, little snow is to be seen, but
on going west and north from Thurmont
considerable snow is encountered. 1t is
said that at the high bridge on the W.
M. railroad two miles west of town, the
snow measures nearly foot in depth.
Further up the mountain the depth in
creases. Mr.. Harry Willhide of near
Deerfield left his home in sled to come
to Thurmont Monday morning. When
got to the edge of the mountain there
was no more snow and he had to borrow
a buggy in which to complete his trip.
All through the mountains and west thro
Washington county sleighing is said to
be good.
