HON. LLOYD LOWHDES.
One of Maryland's Leading
Men.
The Baltimore American one of
the great metropolitan newspa
pers of the country gives a bio
grapical sketch of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes who has many friends
in Clarksburg where he was born
and where his boyhood days were
spent. The American also gives
space for a large two column por
trait of Mr. Lowndes and speaks
concerning him as follows ,
Among the progressive men of
Maryland there stands no more
prominent figure than that of
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, of Cum
berland, and the only regret that
the city of his adoption has is
that it cannot claim him as one
of its children by right of birth.
To Maryland's sister State?
old Virginia?belongs that honor
and distinction, and when, on the
morning of February 21st, 1845,
Lloyd Lowndes first saw the
light oi day in Clarksburg, Mary
land had but little, if any, inter
est in the advent, It was not
until twenty-three years after,
when, in 1867, he took up his
residence in this city, that a
mutual interest at once manifest
ed itself and Cumberland began
to realize that a man of future
prominence had become a citizen
of Maryland, and watched with
great interest the commencement
of a promising career, and, from
year to year, with great gratifica
tion. noted his onward and up
ward path, marked by milestones
recording financial and popular
success.
Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., the young
est son of Lloyd Lowndes and
the subject of this sketch, was
born in Clarksburg, Harrison
county, Virginia, on the morning
of February 21st, 1845, and in
that city received the eariy part
#f his education. When he was
sixteen years of age he entered
Washington College, of Wash
ington, Pa. He spent two years
there and then went to Allegha
ny College, at Meadville, Pa.,
where a further term of two
years completed his scholastic
education, and he graduated with
! honor in 1865.
| Having some time previously
determined to adopt the law as a
profession, he entered the office
of Richard L. Ashurst, one of
Philadelphia's prom inent lawyers
where, with a course in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania as an
auxiliary, he devoted his entire
energy to the acquirement of
that Knowledge of law which
while engaged in practice at the
Allegheny bar, won for him the
enviable distinction of being
elected president of the
Alleghany County Bar Associa
tion and being a man whose
opinions were sought after.
Upon his graduation he settled
in Cumberland, and soon acquir
ed a large and lucrative practice.
His thorough knowledge of the
fundamental principles of con
stitutional law and his great per
sonal popularity made hi* a most
desirable candidate for Congres
sional honors, and, at the urgent
request of the leaders of the Re
publican party he accepted the
nomination for Congress, and
went into the campaign of 1872,
and was elected over the Hon.
John Ritchie, of Frederick coun
ty, the Democratic nominee, by
the majority of 1,700. In this
fight, Mr. Lowndes threw all of
that energetic and persistent ap
plication which had characterized
his work at school, the college,
the university and while practic
ing at the bar, and the "forlorn
hope" led by him at that time
was right gallantly won and
showed a reversal of 3,200 votes,
his antagonist having been elect
ed two years before by a majori
ty of 1,500. When he entered
the Forty-third Congress he was
but twenty eight years of age and
was the youngest member in the
House, notwithstanding which he
served ably on several of the
most important committees.
In 1874, after much persuasion,
he consented to the use of his
name for the second time, as a
candidate, and the effective work
done by him in the previous cam
paign was again gone through
with at a sacrifice to his practice
and personal interest. His op
ponent this time was the late
Hon. William Walsh, who, after
the most exciting campaign in
the history of the district, was
declared elected by the scant ma
jority of fifty votes. In this con
flict Mr. Lowndes was one of the
many Republican candidates wh?>
fell a victim to that political
cyclone of 1874. Since then ho
has resisted all appeals from the
many different committees and
delegations that have proffered]
him the nomination for either
Governor or Congressman. Not
a convention has assembled that
has not mentioned his name in
connection with either of these
two offices, but his last negative
has been as emphatic as his first.
He has been delegate-at-Urge to
the National Republican conven
tions, and in conferences of the
party his service and assistance
have been cheerfully and liberal
ly given as they have been in
variably sought.
Mr. Lowndes' means are vast,
and there is no infant industry
that will afford employment to
the artisan or labor that cannot
rely upon his cordial co-opera
tion, and be sure of bis sympathy
and liberal financial assistance.
More particularly is this true of
those struggling "bread-furnish
ers,' that have been, and may
hereafter be established in Cum
berland or Alleghany county.
The city, county, and State of his
adoption are his first considera
tions, and anything that will
promote their interests and en
lists his sympathies.
As an evidence of this, the fol
lowing will show : He is presi
dent of these corporations : The
Second National Bank, the Union
Mining Company of Alleghany
county, the Potomac Coal Com
pany and Frostburg Gas and
Electric Light Company. He is
vice-president ot the Cumberland
Paper Company, which is one of
the largest industries in the city,
and is a director in each of the
following well-known and suc
cessful business concerns : The
Black, Sheridan and Wilson Com
pany, the Fidelity and Deposit
Company, of Maryland, Elk Lick
Coal Company, Cumberland Im
provement and Investment Com
pany, Cumberland Electric Rail
way Company. Cumberland Ice
Manufacturing Company, Barton
and George Creek Valley Coal
Company, Merchants' National
Bank of West Virginia, the Al
leghany County Furniture Com
pany and the daily News Publish
ing Company.
As a recognition of his superior
executive ability, and a tribute
to his interest in the advancement
of the manufacturing, mining
and financial interests of the
State of Maryland, he was ap
pointed one of the World's Fair
commissioners, and he has de
voted a large portion of his time
towards securing a proper rep
resentation of Western Mary
land's developed and undevelop
ed resources at the coming Ex- j
position of expositions.
Mr. Lowndes' social character
is one that many older man would
envy. Notwithstanding his large
business connections, over which
he exercises to a great extent a
personal supervision, he always
finds time to attend to the de
mands of society, and being a
man of scholary attainments and
much devoted to the belles let
tres, he is fond of both literary
and scientific pursuits, which his
bread and liberal education has
eminently fitted him to thorough
ly enjoy.
He is a member of the Ameri
can Academy of Political and
Social Science, of Philadelphia ;
the New York Southern Society,
the Maryland, the Athenaeum,
the University the Young Men's
Republican Clubs, of Baltimore
where he numbers hosts of
friends. He has been vestryman
and warden of Emanuel Episco
mm
pal Church, of Cumberland, and
for over twenty years has been
one of the lay delegates to the
diocesan and goneral conventions
of that body. His charities have
always been as liberal as they
been quiet and unostentatious,
and many an institution owes to
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes debts of
eratitude for hberal subscrip
tions that have gone to the credit
of that ubiquitous individual
known as a ??friend."
By special arrangement the
Sunday School Convention will
adjourn in time for the lecture
by Jahu Dewitt Miller, on next
Tuesday evening. Get your
tickets before the delegates to
the convention take all the seats.
Over 00 reserved seats wore sold

Only a Youb* Girl.
HE OTHER day
while Jesse Mil
ler was digging
.a post hole, pre
paratory to en
o larging his
mother'sgarden,
he came upon a
box. Thinking
ho was about to
unearth a trcas
ure he carefully
. ro moved the
|.t box, taking off
the lid. Instead of finding a sum
of money, the bones of an infant
child were revealed. A young
girl was suspected of not leading
a virtuous life about two years
ago, and this discovery throws
considerable light on the affair.
?West Newton l'resn.
Was she? Was the young girl
suspected? Well then dig up the
bones and put them on exhibi
tion, label them with the name
of the girl ??suspected." Don't
let the grave bury her shame;
don't give her a chance to cover
it up, but scatter the news, stir
up the gossips, give her character
a racket, shake '<he whole thing
up, and let the young girl under
stand that her fault shall neither
be forgiven nor forgotten. A
-young" girl, did you say? all
the better for that; her heart will
break the sooner; has she a
mother? all the better again;
wring the woman's heart till the
blood oozes from her eyes with
the bitter tears. Public exhibi
tion will have a good effect on
the girl, the "young girl," and
teach her a lesson. No matter
if she hath suffered the pains
and shame for months; no matter
if she has been at death's door
while despair and anguish have
lacreated he poor tender heart.
No matter if she has stolen out
to a little grave in silent night
time and drenched it with her
tears. No matter if some gay
young man of fashion has won
her affections and wrecked her
young life?no matter if the
world has partly forgotton her
cne sin?for she was a young girl;
dig up the bones, uncoffin the
skeleton, parade the sin, hang
out a red flag, and say "here it
is again," come and see?and
don't forget the young girl.
Yonder she goes, run and tell
her "we have found you out.'
The sad smile which had begun
to creep over her young face
must be driven back into her soul
again, and the fountain of her
tears be opened. Oh, the in
humanity of man!?Monongahela
Bepublican.
A Tennessee preacher, clad In
a night shirt, straw hat and con
siderable dignity, climbed a
lightning rod during bis sleep,
End mounted the roof of the court
house. An attempt was made to
stop his flight by some one grab
bing his shirt, but the garment
parted and the next day the white
souvenir was secured by a young
lady, who will make it the cen
terpiece of a crazy quilt.
A curious will is to be placed
on record in Louisville. It was
written by the young woman w>o
poisoned herself with laudanum
I in such a sensational way recent
ly. In the last agonies of death
the girl had scrawled her parting
injunctions to her friends in this
world, on the pillow with a dull
pencil. This pillow case is to be
regularly recorded and filed.
TIT FOR TAT.:
What the Governor of Oregon
Said to the
GOVERNOR OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Portland, Oregon, May )3. ?
The following telegraphio cor;
respondence to-day passed be
tween Secretary of State Ores
ham and Governor Ponnoyer:
Washington, D. C.. May 8.
Oov. Sylvester Pennoyer, Salem, O:
Apparently reliable reports in
dicate danger of violence to
Chinese when exclusion act takes
effect, and the President earnest
ly hopes you will employ all law
ful moans for their protection in
Oregon.
(Signed) W. Q. ORESHAM.
Governor Pennoyer immediately
sent the following reply:
Salem, Oregon, May 3.
If. Q. Oresham, Washington, D. (',
I will attend to my business;
let the President attend to his.
(Signed)
Sylvester Pennoyer,
Governor.
Governor Pennoyer is a Demo
crat, but is not very fond of the
President. After the above cor
respondence he said to a reporter:
"The Gresham telegram is an
insult to Oregon. I will enforce
the laws of the State and the
President should enforce the
laws of Congress. It comes with
poor grace for the President to
ask me to enforce tho State law,
while he without warrant sus
pends the exclusion act."
Tho West Virginia State board
of agriculture met in Charleston,
W. Va., May 1st, in its fifth regu
lar biennial session. All the
members were present, namely,
O. R. Sperow, of Berkeley coun
ty; S. S. Jacobs, Ohio county;
