For the first time in many years
the Eagle Hotel, Gettysburg, Pa, is
without a proprietor. This famous
hostelry was closed Monday when all
guests were given notice to vacate
their apartments and the help, with
the exception of a Waterman and
fireman, was discharged. According
to advice of the administrator, Will
lam Hersh, Esq.,, this action was
necessary because there are NO funds
on hand to meet current expenses.
A Waterman has been employed by
the Westminster Fire Company to
look after the fremen's building at
night to see that no one will usv the
building except those who are mem
bers. In the past few weeks a lock
was forced and lights were left burn
| ing, which Is contrary to the rules.
The building will be visited each
hour and any person not a member,
found in the building, will be reported
to the president, who will look into
| the matter.

The Baltimore Sun OF Saturday
contains the following item: MANY
are of the opinion that Mr.. Gray, the
newly elected president of the West
ern Maryland Railway Company, will
first devote his efforts to having a
double track, 1ow-grade line con-
structed over the Blue Ridge. This
will make the tunneling of the noun
tain a necessity, and 1t Is thought
this project, which was drawn to the
at ention of John ID. Rockefeller, j.,
on his recent trip, will be among the
NJ first of the big moves made after the
new executive has become well set
tied in the saddle" This will connect
with the main line at Westminster.
