The Western Maryland Railway Com
pany has acquired 40 acres of land from
John L. Miller, at Ridgley, opposite Cum
berland, for the improvement of yard
and shop facilities. The acquiring of the
tract means great improvements at this
terminal and erection of new car shops,
work on which is to be started as soon as
the weather is favorable. The shops
will employ $50 additional men.
The plans call for the Strengthening OF
the track and, the extending of the
yards. The newly acquired tract lies a.
long the present tract and is contiguous to
the Y. The improvement will eliminate
the use of the Y by passenger trains in
approaching Cumberland, it is stated,
and thus considerable time will be saved
on the schedule. The business of the
company has increased so greatly, espec-
ially from the Pittsburg and Connelsville
districts, that more yard room is impera-
tive. 1t is stated that the carrying
through of the plans will oblige the COM
pany to acquire number of dwelling and
business places in Ridgely which will be
razed.

Organ Recital.
Large Audiences Hear Music
By Prof. StOttlemyer.

The second pipe organ recital was
given in Trinity Reformed church Sun
day afternoon last, Prof. W. R. Stottle-
myer, of Waynesboro, Pa, presiding.
Mr.. Stottlemyer in this recital endeav-
ored to show what the organ was-the
effect various combinations of stops and
swells made in the production of music,
rather than play number OF difficult
classic selections without changing his
organ. In this he pleased large audiences
at the three services during the day.
The recital proper was given at p.
m., at which time the organ selections
were as follows:
Offertoire in A flat-E M. Read.
Pilgrims Song of Hope-Batiste.
The Rosary-Nevin.
Mediation -Sturges.
Gavotte, from Mignon-Thomas.
Pastorale "To a Wild Rose"-Mac-
Dowell.
The Hymn of the Nuns-Lefebure.
Sextet from Lucia
Postlude, Offertory No. 2, "St. Cecilia"
-Batiste.
Following the third selection Miss
Lillian Kefauver sang "Come Unto Me, y
by Coenen. A duett by Rev. Shaffer and
Mrs. H. D. Beachley, entitled "Glory to
Thee" by Gounod, and quartette by
Miss Kefauver, Mrs. Beachley, and
Messrs. Shaffer and Firor, entitled Come
Ye Disconsolate,' by Schneider, were
sung after the sixth and eighth numbers.
Miss Mary Freeze presided at the organ
for the vocal numbers.
The regular evening service was devot-
ed almost entirely to music. AS a pre-
lude Mr.. Stottlemyer played, (a) Offer
toire No. l, "St. Cecilia" by Batiste,
(b) "Fraumlied" by Frysinger, formerly
of Hood College Three hymns were
used during the evening. Special selec-
tions given were anthem. "Sing We
Alleluia" by Ashford; duett, "Seek Ye
The Lord,' by Lansing, Mrs. H. d.
Beachley and Miss Kefauver; qnartette,
"The Beautiful Hills" Mrs. S. l.. Shat,
fer. Mrs. H. d. Beachley, and Messrs.
Shaffer and Firor. Miss Freeze played
for these selections and also for the
hymns sung. For offertory Mr.. Stottle.
myer played "Andante," by Baldwin,
and "Handels Largo" perhaps the most
beautiful of all selections played during
the day.
Another day of music has been an
nounced, this to be Sunday, March llth
at which time favorite hymns will bt

for by Railroads, But Some Ad-
vances Are Conceded.

Washington.-On June % the inter

plea of the railroads of the United
States for horizontal increase of 10
per cent increase in freight rates.
In it's decision the commission indi-
Gated its willingness TO increase class
rates In the eastern district approx
mately II per cent Since about one
fourth of the freight handled is
moved under class rates, the decision
virtually allows the eastern lines about
A per cent increase in gross freight
revenue. Increases sought in rates ON
coal, coke and iron ore will be granted.
The commission found, as result of
extended hearings. that the carriers
generally show substantial and in
creasing financial prosperity and that
they have ample resources with which
TO conduct transportation.
Little sympathy was given the argu-
mcnts of the roads that they We're vic
tins Of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have profited
by the mobilization of troops.
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until October 2S, but it in
Dictated that no rehearing of the case
will be of value at this time and sug-
gseted cancellation of the tariffs.
