Hitch In Road Improvement.

A snag was struck Monday morning in
the efforts to abolish the four grade
crossings of the Western Maryland Rail
road in the five mile stretch of pike be-
tween Thurmont and Deerfield Just
when it was beginning to look like the
citizens of the community affected, the
county commissioners and the railroad
company would come to terms over the
Improvement trouble arose.
Charles Brown, who owns considerable
of the property in the section traversed
by the railroad, and where it is proposed
to abolish the four dangerous grade
crossings, has offered 80 foot right Of
way free of charge, he to retain title to
the property. Then the railroad baked.
1t wanted Mr.. Brown to convey the pro-
perty to itself or the county by deed.
This Mr.. Brown refuses to do. He de-
clared he is willing to do anything in
reason to further the project under way,
but does not feel called upon to transfer
title to his property to the railroad COM
pany or the county, after he has offered
the right of way, on the condition that
he retain the title in himself.
The railroad contends that while there
may be no trouble during Mr.. Browns
lifetime, yet should he die, and the pro-
perty be sold, the next tenant may cause
trouble. Now efforts will be made to
adjust the differences. Frederick News.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER II. 1916.
Live Temperance Meeting.
Big Crowd Hear Address Here
Tuesday Night.

The first and likely the only public
meeting in the cause of the DRY Cam
paign was held in Town Hall, Thurmont,
Tuesday evening of this week. A very
large number of voters were present, al
so numerous ladies' and children.
Ex-senator John P. T. Matthias, chair
man, after several selections had been
played by the Thurmont Orchestra, IN
troduced Rev. Geo A. Snyder, of Middle
town, Nd, who opened the meeting with
prayer.
The first speaker. Rev. Geo. II Trag-
essser of St. Anthony's Parish, was then
introduced. Father Tragesser compll-
mented the committee for having the
orchestra present, as he thought the
music would drive away the dry fleet OF
dry meeting. He stated that he was
in both dry and wet territory; that he
could see the difference between the two
and hoped soon to be able to say that ne
was living in dry district.
Hon. Harry G. Fisher. of Keyser, W.
Va, was introduced and laid plain facts
before the audience.
Mr.. Fisher has travelled considerably
and has been working for the dry cause
for many years. He helped rid his ma
tive state w. Virginia of the saloon. The
saloons across the Potomac riverin Mary
land are now menace to the temper
ance people of w. Virginia, and he is
now working to get Maryland dry.
His personal knowledge of business con-
ditlons in his State since the sale of liq-
uor has stopped tells him Prohibition has
been benefit to all. AS for the increase
of taxes he says such is not the fact,
except in cases where local laws were
passed authorizing expenditure of money
for local improvements, the same in no
way having anything to do with the
State being dry
He told the audience that he saw more
DRINKS in Thurmont (dry territory than
he saw in Frederick city, which has 36
places were liquor is sold, including gro
Gerry stores. The reason for this he said
was that in Frederick the DRINKS are
generally in back room and taken care
of by the saoonkeeper, while in Thur
mont they are left lay around on the
street where everybody could see them.
Such was the case here Tuesday evening
Wonder what his opinion is of the town
officials?
Mr.. Fisher is very forceful speaker
and held the attention of his many hear
ers throughout his address.
Rev. Snyder made short address and
closed me meeting with prayer and ben
ediction.

Delegation From Emmitsburg
See Tax Commissioner.

The matter of naming assessors FOR
Frederick county and that OF valuation
keeps the public generally on the anxious
bench while the subject grows warmer
and warmer between Senator German
and the County Commissioners
Last week the two gentlemen named
assessors to assess in Emmitsburg Dis

cause charges had been preferred against

met the persons appointed assessors in
Frederick and gave them instructions as
to what they should do.
Each man received small box which
was full of cards on which was to be set
forth the assessment data. These cards
are to be returned to Supervisor Gaver
and by him turned over to the county
commissioners for inspection. Later
thew are to be forwarded to the Tax
Commission, which, under the law, has
the power to raise or lower any assess
ment, as it sees fit.
While this meeting was in progress
the County Commissioners were holding
meeting, at which resolution was
passed demanding to know why Messrs.
Frlzzell and Rider were dismissed. and
why Edward H Rowe and Joseph Rosen
steel were appointed in their stead
Mr.. German declined to make public
the charges, and then the Commissioners
let it be understood that they would re-
fuse to pay the newly named assessors
A delegation from Emmitshurg app ear
ed at this meeting and asked that the
first two named be retained Mr. Cor
man again refused to yield, and the de-
cgation left, intimating that further
efforts would be made to have the men
reinstated.
The assessment papers go through four
sets of men-lst, the Assessors; End,

Detective Makes Arrest.

On Wednesday of last week one of the
W. M. Railway detectives, while looking
over the freight yard at this place, saw
George Black gathering coal and lumber
along the tracks and at once arrested
him. The boy was taken before Justice
Cadow, who, after hearing the case, gave
him severe reprimand and left him &c
free.
The matter of gathering coal and lum-
Der from empties left on the side tracks
has been in vogue here for years and
because of this fact this youngster was
left go. Justice Cadow says the detect
i've stated that the custom must stop.
Anyone arrested in the future will be
sent to the House of Correction.

SabiIIasviIIe News.

A most daring daylight robbery occur
red on Tuesday at the Mountain View
Cottage, the home of Mrs. Robt Har-
baugh. Shortly before noon Mrs. Har-
baugh and Miss Mamie Druen, of Balti-
more, a guest at the Cottage, left the
house for short visit out of town. Soon
after their departure Carroll, the young
son of the family, heard noise in one of
the upper rooms to which he paid no at
tention. About ten minutes later he
went up stairs to get his purse, he found
the beds in two rooms in great disorder
and his mothers purse lying open and
empty. To this the child gave little heed,
but went down stairs, locked the rear
and front doors, and put the key in the
place indicated to him and left the house.
When the ladies returned in the after
noon they found the rear door standing
open and the front door unlocked. The
upper rooms were much disordered,
bureau drawers open and ransacked, like
wise trunk in Miss Druen's room. No
jewelry nor clothing was taken, but $22
in money is missing. 1t has since been
remembered that about eleven o'clock a
strange negro was seen in the village and
at 1890 the same man was seen walking
the tracks toward the Summit. This
man bought ticket at Blue Ridge Sum-
NIT for Hagerstown and took the Chica
go Express. Wherever the thief was he
evidently secreted himself in one of the
rooms while Carroll was in his room and
after the child had left completed his
search.
On last Saturday evening surprise
party rendered Mr.. Chas. McClain at the
residence of his grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. McClain. Music and games
of various kinds kept the visitors in high
spirits until a late hour when refresh
ments were served. The evening was
one of great enjoyment and will be re-
membered by those present.
Miss Ruth McClain, who has been max
ing her home for some time with Dr. and
Mrs. Besore of Smithsburg. spent the
weekend with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John McClain.
The funeral of Mr.. Reuben Willard,
who died at the Frederick hospital Sat-
urday night, took place from the resi-

thence to Bethel church where the ser
vices were held Monday afternoon. Mr..
Willard has been in poor health for some
time, but when removed to the hospital
several weeks ago was suffering from
typhoid fever. He had his home with
his sister for a number of years and was
a devoted member of the Church of God

The play strikes home to the audience

was guilty.
The audience is made fully aware in
the very first act that the chief charac

is held not to her personal vndcation OF
herself, but to her blow at the old sys-

shots from a .32 calibre revolver, but
only one took effect that one going
ittto the abdomen on the left side.
Chief of Police Pegues separated them
and took the weapon from Ingram,
who is now in the Chesterfield jail
awaiting the result of the wound.
This afternoon Gregory is resting

recovery seem favorable, though COM

days.
