Hagerstown. They were placed in
the Updegraff store on w. Wash
ington street The Messrs. Upde-
graft had special opening and
the electric lights proved quite
IN innovation. Electric lighting
was a new thing and no doubt
proved a drawing card TO the store
The fine light which flooded the
store was of much benefit to the
buying public and advantage to
the proprietors in showing the
exact good quality of the articles
Of ali kinds offered The electric
light system was put in the Upde-
graft store with the aid of Gen
eral Boyd, of the c. V. R. R., who
brought a car here, containing
the battery system. 1t was not
long afterWard that the city put
in an electric light system in
which carbon was used. To keep
these carbon lights going it was
necessary to go over the city and
renew the carbon sticks which
were made with two carbon sticks
having their points touch each
other and placed in a perpendicu-
lar position. 1t was at this con-
tact of the points that the light
was produced Charles Frownfel-
ter, Harry Mundey and John D.
Sanders were among those whose
duty it was to cover the city and
look after the lights, drawn down
by means of rope and then let
back again in position in the same
way, the ends Of the rope being
wrapped around a pin in pole
at the street corner and thus
held firmly in position Mr. San
ders recalls the weather made no
difference = they were compelled
to make their daily rounds
Before this the town was lighted
by coal oil lamps. Jacob E.
Fisher, "Dody" Oliver and Dallas
Premier were three men who had
this work to do. The globes were
renewed or cleaned the wicks
trimmed and oil replenished. and
they saw to it that the lights
were in first class condition for
lighting the streets of the town.
Oliver used a horse to make his
rounds and attend the lamps.
Fisher carried little ladder on
his back And beware if you
hitched your horse to lamp post
when you drove to town.

was issued at a special meeting
If the Mayor and Council of Ha-
gerstown. concerning the demand
made on the city for money and
clothing during the Civil War; a
refusal carrying with it the burn
ing of the city.
The order follows:
I'm accordance with the instruc-
tions of General Early, a levy of
100000 is made upon the inhabit-
ants of Hagerstown. A space of
five hours is allowed for the pay
ment of this sum in U. S. funds.
reauisition is also made for
stores. The following articles
will also be furnished from the
merchandise in the hands of citi-
zens or merchants: Fifteen hun
dred suits of clothing, 1,500 hats,
1900 pairs of shoes and boots, l.
500 shirts. 1,500 pairs of drawers,
1900 pairs of socks, II four hours
allowed for this collection. The
Mayor and Council are held re-
sponsible for the execution of this
order and in case of non-compli-
ance the usual penalty will be en-
forced upon the city. Signed,
John McCausland."
The minutes of the Mayor and
Council meeting state that latter
many Intellectual plans proposed
for raising the money, J. d. Ro-
man. president of the Hagerstown
Bank. proposed that if so to 100
of the prominent citizens of the
town, of both political parties,
would sign note to said bank
for $4,000, the bank would fur
nish the money and call upon the
other banks to make up the bal
ance which was finally agreed to
by them whereupOn the Mayor
and Council. in their official ca
pacity, passed the following reso-
lutions: Resolved, that the citi-
zens of the town are hereby re-
quested to sign the said notes to
the several banks for the purpose
aforesaid, and in consideration
thereof the said Mayor and Coun-
ell pledge the corporation to in
demnify and save harmless the
signers of said notes and pledge
themselves that they will official
1y join with the citizens in petit
tioning the Legislature for any le-
gal authority which may be
deemed wanting to secure the
passage of law to carry out the
object"
The minutes then continue:
"The sum of $4,000 was prompt
ly furnished by the said banks
and paid as set forth in the said
requisition, it being ascertained
that the merchants had removed
nearly all their goods to places
of safety. consequently the de-
mand for the number of outfits
could not be complied with, when
a proposition was made through
the mayor that we would furnish
such outfits as could be obtained
in the town, provided said Nc
Causland would sign a receipt in
full for the full compliance of the
said order and requisition and
also a guarantee that no further
demands or requisition be made
on the town, which proposition
was finally acceded to. The mer-
chants of the town then furnished
such outfits and piece goods as
they had in store, amounting to
5000"

REFORM COMES
TO JUDGEMENT

in its 54th annual report tells
us This year has seen an in
dreasing growth of public in
terest in the merit system I'm
epualed since the days Of the
popular movement which culmi
mated in the passage of the
Civil Service Act of 1888. This
interest has been manifested in
news columns and editorials of
the press, in activities of non
partisan reform organizations,
in studies by progressively lar
ger numbers of young men and
women in colleges and univer-
stiles, in declaration by leaders
of all political parties, and in the
public opinion polls" The estab-
lshment of an office in Wash
ington by the National Civil
Service Reform League to keep
tab on the actions of Congress,
the resolution of inquiry just
adopted by the Senate and the
apprehensive tone of h com
missions report to the effect
that, During the past year
friends of the merit system in
Congress have had to main
tain a constant struggle to pre-
vent a complete triumph of the
spoils system" all indicate the
seriousness of the situation.
Senator A. J. blended of
Louisiana, sponsor of the re
solution of inquiry stated. that
most of the senators feel t h e
way l do about it. They want
either a re a merit system in
operation. or they. want t h e
whole thing discarded and re-
turn to the spoils system" On
