ISep-atolican Oand.icLate For Congress SixtH
Of Ivf aryland..
Charles Dahlgren Wagainan was born in Washington County, Mary
hind, on the 2. r th day of January, 18G4, at Beaver Creek, the son of John
Wagainan and Cordelia 11. (iantz.
His educational advantages were obtained in the public schools and
high school of Washington County. Circumstances closed this doors of a
higher education to him. He taught for a time in the public schools of
Washington County and devoted his evenings and Ids vacations to the study
of law under the direction of the late Judge Stake. After his admission to
tlie Bar, he applied himself with untiring zeal, energy and industry to his
profession until he has won for himself a place amongst the leaders of the
Bar of Maryland.
In politics Mr. Wagainan has always been a consistent and active
Republican, a firm believer, in the soundness of the political doctrines of
Lincoln, (Irani, McKinley and those other exponents of the Republican
creed represented by its line of distinguished Presidents.
Coming up from the ranks of the people, without wealth or friends,
in high places to push him into prominence, he stands a representative type
of the self made man who has won his way to the front.
He is the kind of man that the people, regardless of class or condition,
can trust, for no one knows or appreciates the peoples wants and needs
1 letter than he. A close student of the law and of his fellow man as well, a
member of the Christian Church and a humble follower of that greatest
leader of men, he has all the elements in him that go to make up a true
Representative of the people.

GREAT SEA DISASTER!
(iiant StennuT Titanic Crashes
into Iceberg 400 Miles off
Newfoundland Coast.
Drowned, 1,302: Saved. SOS.
(From the Baltimore Suu.)
The Titanic, of the White Star Line,
bound from Liverpool to New York on
her maiden trip, was sunk in collision |
with an iceberg 400 miles off the coast of I
Newfoundland Sunday night, the collision |
occurring at 10.25 p. in., and the vessel]
sank at 2.20 a. m., Monday morning.
The list as given out shows that 2,170!
souls were on board the vessel, 1,310 be
ing passengers and 860 comprising the
crew. Of these according to latest ad
vices, 1,302 were lost, and 868, mostly
women and children, were placed in life
boats and saved. These were picked up
by the ship Carpathia and are being
brought to New York, the vessel expect
ing to reach port Friday.
The Titanic was one of the newest and
finest ships ever constructed. She cost
$7,500,000, was 882 feet 6 inches long,
height from bottom of keel to top of
Captain’s house 105 feet 7 inches.
From the steamship Bruce, comes the
first detailed reports of the sinking of
the Titanic and the appalling scenes at
i tending her end, her story being obtained'
| from wireless messages picked up from
| several ships which had been in closest
] touch with the last hours of the ill fated
vessel.
When the Titanic struck the mountain
I of ice that sent her to the bottom, she
was steaming at the rate of 18 miles an ,
hour. The shock almost demolished the!
vessel. Her decks were ripped and torn, !
her sides and bulkheads were split and
. shattered. Though the ship had hit the
monster obstruction head-on, as her bow ■
| rose clear of the water, smashed to an
I unrecognizable mass of bent and shiver
ed steel, the vessel listed heavily to port
! and threatened to turn turtle before the
recoil slid what was left of her proud
I form back to an even keel. The force of
! the blow had been so tremendous that
everything movable throughout her su
perb equipment of luxurious cabins and
saloons was tossed into heaps,
j It is supposed that John Jacob Astor,
' Archibald Butt, military aid to President
Taft; Wm. E. Carter, Isador Straus and
; many wealthy and influential men who
were aboard have been lost,
j The loss financially is estimated to be
$20,000,000. This includes the vessel and
its furnishings, cargo, securities, jewelry
1 and registered mail.
Making Improvements,
i Mr. Chas. C. Waters, of Frederick, is
adding improvements to his Aurora Cot
-1 tage property and also that occupied by
5 Mrs. W. A. Wisong, at this place. A
beautiful graded lawn has been made in
front of the latter home by Mr. Benedict
Knott and preparations are now being
made to put down concrete sidewalk in
front of both properties.
1 Mr. Rob’t A. Tvson’s handsome home
is located directly across street from the
above, and Mr. Tyson is also making
preparations to put down concrete side
( walk.
COLLEGE MAY MOVE
Faculty Anxious To
Leave ITiion Bridge.
The item published two weeks ago
stating that Blue Ridge College would
remain at Union Bridge, in a manner
blasted all hope of having the College at
Thurmont in the future.
Last week, however, matters took a
change and it seems the College Faculty
is bent on getting away from Union
Bridge on account of the annoyance
caused by dust from the Tidewater Ce
ment plant.
Upon certain conditions being complied
with by the members of the Church of
the Brethren, its friends and communi
ties wishing to have the college, depends
whether or not the college will be taken
away from its present location.
Acting in accordance of these condi
tions, the citizens of Thurmont held a
meeting Monday evening in Town Hall
and discussed the matter. A committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions and
learn what inducements Thurmont could j
give the college to come to this place and j
be able to report Wednesday afternoon '
to a committee appointed by the college
to secure a location.
This committee got busy Tuesday morn
ing, and Wednesday afternoon met the
committee, Elder W. M. Wine, President
of the College, Mr. J. C. Walker of Mon
rovia, and Mrs. Annie R. Stoner, a friend
of the College, and laid before them
what had been accomplished.
From what we learn the college does
not wish to leave the State. Three places,
Thurmont, Myersville and New Windsor,
are being considered by the Faculty as
suitable for the college.
As for location, light, water and rail
road conveniences, Thurmont has decided
advantages over her competitors. Every
citizen of the town and community should
get wide awake and help secure this in
stitution.
Will Re-Dedicate In May.
Salem Lodge No. 60, I. O. O. F., of
Westminster, is making arrangements to
re-dedicate their handsome new building
recently erected in that place, on May
10, 11 and 12. At the same time there
will be a reunion of Odd Fellows in Car
roll county. There will be a big parade
with the Patriarchs Militant of Baltimore
in full uniform acting as escort. The
exercises on Sunday, May 12th, will be
held in the Opera House. Prominent
i members of the organization will make
addresses.
Summoned to Annapolis.
Senator John P. T. Mathias and Dele
gate Wm. O. Wertenbaker of this place,
left Tuesday morning for Annapolis, to
which place they were summoned as wit
nesses on the O’Malley bribery case.
This case will likely occupy a week or
ten days.

MANY BILLS SIGNED.
Governor Finishes .lob Last
Monday. 105 Bills Vetoed.
Governor Goldsborough finished the
task of signing bills on Monday last.
After signing the bills he announced that
he had vetoed 105 bills. We find among
the list of those vetoed, one pertaining
to the placing of a signal bell at the
railroad crossing on Carroll street, at
this place. This is the second time an
effort has been made to have safety ap
pliances placed at this crossing.
The Senatorial Primary bill, considered
important by many, was vetoed by the
Governor. The bill as passed, deprived
voters of certain privileges, and to ibis
the Governor objected.
The bill empowering the State Roads
Commission to build roads within muni
cipal limits of any town was also vetoed.
Whether or not this applies to the State
Road passing through Thurmont we are
not able to say, the State bought the
road, and likely will keep it in repair.
The bill amending the charter of Mid
dletown is among the vetoed list.
After making a number of vetoes and
and reductions the Governor approved
the appropriation bills for 1913 and 1914.
By his reductions he saved the State
$247,600.
In the general appropriation bills the
Governor vetoed the annual appropria
tion of SIO,OOO for maintenance of the
Maryland Agricultural College. The
University of Maryland Hospital loses
$15,000 for 1913. Appropriations for
Springfield State Hospital for the Insane
were reduced from $150,000 to $140,000 a
year, and those for the Maryland Tuber
culosis Sanatorium from $150,000 to $125,-
000 a year.
Other bills signed and are now laws
are as follows:
Amending the charter of Emmitsburg.
Relating to Sisters of Charity of St.
Euphemia’s School.
Sanctioning bequestof Dennis J. Flynn.
Refund to Alfred Lewis.
Elective franchise; constitutional a
mendment; vote seller to be exempt from
penalty.
Authorizing Thurmont to borrow money
for improvements.
To protect black bass in Frederick
county.
Empowering the Governor to cede pro
perty to the United States Government
for roads.
Requiring Frederick County Commis
sioners to publish annual statements.
Amending the charter of the Middle
town Savings Bank.
Amending the charter of the Emmits
burg Railroad Company.
Amending the charter of Emmitsburg
Savings Bank.
Amending charter of Frederick and
Middletown Electric Railroad.
Authorizing Thurmont to borrow money
to establish water system.
This last bill was somewhat of a puzzle
to the people of Thurmont, because it
says, “establish a water system.” The
bill referred to is the one asking permis
sion to provide funds for the installation
of an auxiliary power plant, the object
of which is to furnish power for the
Lighting Plant at times when water is
very low.
