Introduces Ransom Bill.

Congressman Frederick N. Zihlman
last week introduced bill in the House
to refund to the city of Frederick, Nd,
5000, 900 paid as ransom to Confederate
troops, under penalty of burning the
city. The city of Frederick was invaded
by large Confederate army under Gen.
Jubal Early, July 9, 1864, and ransom
of 5000, was levied, demanded and
paid by the corporate authorities.
Mr.. McComas, late United States Sen
ator from Maryland, introduced on jan
uary 20, 1890, bill in the 5lst Congress
to refund this ransom. On January 25,
1892, Mr.. McKaig, at that time one of
the Representatives, introduced a similar
bill, and a bill was also introduced by
Congressman David Lewis during his
encumbency in Congress.
Mr.. Zihlman's bill provides that the
sum appropriated shall be applied by the
corporate authorities of Frederick to the
retirement of an equal amount of its
bonded debt. Representative Zihlman':
bill was referred to the Committee or
War Claims, of which he is member.

Progressive Bank.

The Emmtsburg Savings Bank which
completed extensive rebuilding opera
tions last fall, and now occupies one of
the most spacious, handsome and mod
ern banking quarters to be found outside
of the largest cities, has made a still
further improvement to the exterior of
it's building by placing two massive solid
cast bronze name tablets on either side
of the corner entrance on Center Square,
while gold lettering on the doors and
glass screens add to the interior adorn-
ment. At the same time the name of
this progressive institution has been en-
blazoned on the rear of its building in
characters that can be easily seen and
read at a great distance, approaching
Emmitsburg from Thurmont. The man
agement has been highly complimented
far and wide for the progressive spirit it
displays, the latest instance of which
has been the installation over it's vault
of large self-wndihg clock which is
illuminated at night and can be seen
from any point on the square.

Change Of Orders Made To Aid
Moving of Troops.

Secretary of War Baker, announced
last Friday that Maryland's draft troops
would be sent to Camp Meade, Admiral
station, Md, instead of to Petersburg,
Va, as had first been planned.
1t was announced at the same time
that the men from the District of Col
umbia would alsogo to Admiral, and that
these two bodies of men would be con-
soidated with the Eastern Pennsylvania
ans to form the Seventy-ninth Division,
commanded by Maj Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn
president of the Army War College.
A total of 4O,S 1884 men will train at
Camp Meade, made up of 1896 Maryland
ers, 929 from the District of Columbia
and 80, S29 from Pennsylvania. The Pc
tersburg camp will consist of AZ, OS6 men,
to be made up of 13, 9s5 Virginians, g. lO4
W. Virginians and 54, 600 Pennsylvanians.
For field purposes two divisions will be
trained at Admiral. These divisions will
be composed OF 10000 men when they
reach France, but for purposes of inten-
sive training one division commander will
have command of the whole 40, 1884 men.
General Kuhn is one of the most dis
tinguished soldiers in the army. He
graduated from West Point at the head
of his class and at once went into the
engineers as an honor man. He has
built some of the greatest military works
in the country and has had charge of
some of the most important river and
harbor improvements including that at
Norfolk and Hampton Roads. He was
sent to the Japanese Russian war as an
army observer and went through the en-
tire campaign as an attache of the Jap
anese General Staff. This means that
the Maryland draft army will be trained
and perhaps commanded in France by
one of the most talented and most dis
tinguished officers in the entire army.
Troops comprising the various Mary
land companies of the national army will
train at Admission, Alabama, 700 men un-
der Gen. Gather having arrived at that
place Sunday night. 1t is stated that
the trip from Baltimore was tiresome,
the train arriving l6 hours late.
Thousands of visitors were attracted
to Camp Meade, at Admiral, Nd, last
Sunday. The throng came by rail, auto
mobiles asd wagons. and many of them
were surprised by the continual click of
the carpenters hammers, for there was
no rest day for them.
Officials of the camp remained on duty
all day at the camp. Beginning at 5
o'clock Monday morning last every per-
son who entered the camp had to have a
pass issued by Major Proctor.

Various Places.
Last week superintendent of schools
for Frederick county, G. Lloyd Palmer,

fence to those who will have charge of

Drew Large Crowd.

Camp meeting at Emory Grove, near
Baltimore, drew very large crowd of
people. The special attraction last Sun
day was the music under direction of
Homer Rodeheaver, of the Billy Sunday
party. The Sunday Western Maryland
train going east and west was taxed to
its utmost to accommodate passengers.
In the evening this train arrived at
Thurmont more than an hour late be-
cause of the crowd. The camp closed

A Wise Move.

Since work has begun on the street
through town a number of property own
ers are having the service pipe connection
at the water main renewed and others
new connections made. Doing this work
now will likely save digging through the
bed of concrete some time in the future
and save considerable expense.

CAMPING at Sandy Hole.

On Monday of this week about twenty

here with complete outfit for camp

Hole resort on Hunting creek. The boys
will remain here all week and drink in
the pure mountain air and water free
from limestone and cement dust preva-
lent in their home town. They mingle
freely with the young people of the town
and are apparently having bang-up
good time. May their outing here be of
