ushered in.
Bad Practice.—A number of peo
ple complain of finding their cows
milked when they come up morning
and evening. One gentleman advises
ns that two parties who commit this
description of theft are known, and
that he is in a humor favorable to
exposure of their names. Milk-steal

notice and quit.

Money, taste and skill are lavishly

Greenback-labor clubs are forming
in neighboring towns with a view to
a brisk prosecution of a county can

The coal region is tolerably well
re[ resented on the republican ticket,
though the workingmen pan out little
or no better in representation than on
the democratic ticket. Some like it;
some don’t.
A knowing republican says “this
has been an awful year on “slates.”
Conventions of both parties have
broken them remorselessly."

Death of an Old Citizen— End c
of a Long and Useful Life. —The fam- *
ily of Robert Tennant, sr., Esq., were 1
much shocked last Saturday morning
to find him dead in bed. He had
retired the evening previous in ap
parent good health, and not getting
up at the usual hour he was found an
stated. He had beon feeble during 1
two years past, not being able to ;
work or move actively about. His
appetite was good, however, and he
appeared to enjoy life with as much ■
zest as could be expected of one of
his great age. Mr. Tennant was born
in Lismohagy parish, Lanarkshire,
Scotland, March 8, 1803, and died
Sept. 17, 1881, aged 78 years, 6
months and 9 days. In August, 1838,
be came to Frostburg. Upon the or
ganization of the Frostburg coal com
pany in 1845 he was engaged by that
corporation as boss miner. This po
sition he hold until 1864, wheu the
company sold out to the Consolida
tion coal company. The last named
company, appreciating the fidelity
and skill which had distinguished his
services to their predecessors, con
tinued him in employment until a
short period prior to his death, when
failing strength prevented him from
' discharging his duties with his accus
tomed ease. He was a contemporary
1 from boyhood of Judge Douglas Percy,
1 of this place, with whom sixty-five
years ago he sat in the church where
their fathers worshipped. He was a
' i charter member of Mountain Lodge,
i No. 99, A, F. & A. M., instituted in
: 1854, and subsequently a member of
1 Frostburg Lodge, No. 49,1. O. O. F.
' Sixty years ago he joined tho Eng
lish Lutheran Church and remained
a consistent member to the day of bis
death. Of a retired, domestic dispo
-1 sition, the world abroad saw little of
him. His honest, sober life won him the
[ confidence of all who knew him ; his
. industry and amiability the affection
, of his family and relatives. His eur
, viving children inherit his exoellen
; cies and emulate his usefulness in
various fields of labor. Tho eldest,
. Thomas, resides in Soottdale, Pa;
k Alex. W. in Baltimore; George W.
. and Misses Mary and Helen V., at
j- home, and Robert, jr., in this place.
The funeral took place last Monday
at the English Lutheran Church, at
i, tended by a numerous concourse of
', friends, and the remains laid to rest
, in the old Methodist graveyard by
- j the side of his wife who died twenty
one years ago,
Frostburg in Mourning. —When
the news flashed over the wires last
Tuesday morning that the President
had quietly passed into his eternal
sleep at 10;35 the evening previous
our citizens, although prepared to
hear of his dissolution at any moment,
were sorrow-stricken. The nows was
soon carried from neighbor to neigh
bor and door to door aud the message
fell heavily upon the hearts of all—
from the little child with its indistinct
knowledge of our President to the
hoary-headed sires who wanted to see
him well again.
It was but a short while after the
nows bad been received before the
business men commenced giving pub
lic expression to their feelings in the
shape of draping their places of busi
ness with the dull sombre black—
Sad tokens of death—
Enwrapping the carta—
and in an incredibly short time the
entire business portions of Main street
and Broadway were draped in tho
"weeds of mourning." About 1
o'clock the balls of tho different
churches commenced to toll-announc
ing to those living in the suburbs the
sad intelligence. Business was vir
tually suspended although the stores
did not close; the miners came out of
tho mines and hurried home. Every
thing talked of was the untimely tak
ing off of one of Nature’s gifted no
blemen. Early in the day tho schools
closed and very soon our citizens were
out upon the streets promenading and
discussing the grave situation of
affairs.
Of tho draping we can only say
they are in accord with the occasion
and those who have only a flag draped
can feel as sincere with that mute
tribute of respect as those who have
draped more extensively. The drap
ing on the churches is neat and
tasty. The citizens of Bowary street
can feel proud of the magnificent
funeral arch they have erected from
Mr. W. H. Evans’ store to the vacant
lot opposite. It is beautiful and at
the same time a moat graceful tribute
ta the deceased hero. Mechanic,
Bowery, High, Ormand and Water
streets and Frost avenno and Broad
way are sombre with the habiliments
of mourning hung from the dwelling*
on th u se thoroughfares. The post
office is richly draped on the interior
with heavy folds of black muslin and
crape while immediately over tho de
livery window is a life-like picture of
General Garfield, around which is
tastefully twined the dark cloth so
typical of death.
Wednesday afternoon, subject to a
call issued in the morning, a large
crowd of men assembled in Graham's
grove to do honor to the memory of
the departed one,
Tho meeting was soon organized
with tho following officers :
President —J. P. Moody.
Vice-Presidents —John Bath, John
Brimlow, Wm. H. Evans, John Pen
gelly, Isaac Auderton, John Hanis.
Secretaries —Morris G. Thomas, R.
T. Powell.
The president stated that the ob
ject of the meeting was to draw up a
set of resolutions expressive of the
grief of the citizens of this section
and to determine whether or not the
laboring classes should resume work
on tho following day and take a holi
day on the day of the funeral.
Tho following gentlemen were ap
pointed a committee to draft resolu
tions of condolence: R. T. Powell,
Dr. J. J. Jones, James Dando, Thomas
Cosgrove and James Main
After consultation tho committee
returned and recommended the fol
lowing as suitable to the occasion:
Whereas, Tho band of tho assassin in
striking down our beloved President,
Jmnca A. Garfield, on the 3d of July last,
and the stricken one lias heroically Strug
gled for life from that time until the even
ing of the 19th inst., when death interven
ed and put an end to his sufferings, we as
a people—lovers of our great and free Re
public—law-abiding, looking for the pres
ervation of the Union, do hold in utter
horror the crime that hs 3 placed our na
tion in mourning, feel that wc should ex
press our grief In some outspoken man
ner; therefore be it—
Remin d. That in the death of our Chief
Executive and Ruler of these United
States, we feel that we have met with a
loss that is national—a loss to tho people,
a less to the Republic and a Joss to the
government; wo have lost a leader, a pub
lie-spirited, honorable gentleman, a scholar
and a Christian, a man from among ns—
one uhv rote from the ranks of the wurkimj
clauses —from the towpalhon a canal to the
Chief Magistracy of this great Republic;
further be it —
Resolved, That wo, tho people, Irrespect
ive of creed, nationality, party, sex or con
dition, do deeply deplore this heavy loss
arid bow our heads in humble submission
to ttic decree of the Omnlpoter t One, aud
iielleve that He in His All-Wise Provi
dence docth that which is best fur all; bo
it further—
Resolved, That the sorrowing mother, at
her homo iu Ohio, and the grief-strikon,
noble woman—his widow—who stood by
bis bedside tenderly giving words of en
couragement and cheering him with her
loving presence, and to the fatherless
children —tho Nation's orphans—we ex
tend our sympathy—gushing from hund
reds of hearts—and our coudolence; fur
, ther be it—
. Resolved, That to our President, Chester
1 A. Arthur, wc pledge our allegiance aud
t loyally aud believe that he will see that
r | the laws of this great Republic are en
forced without lew- or partiality; further
• j be it—
Resolved, That a copy of these resold
i tions be published m the PnosTnuno
Mining Journal.
The resolutions were adopted by a
rising vote.
The men agreed after discussion to
resume work on tho following day
(Thursday) and would observe the
day of the funeral.
Mr. Wm. H. Evans being called
upon delivered a short speech eulo
gistic of Gen. Garfield. _

Chamber tho Mayor was requested to
act as chairman and tho citizens were
invited to participate in the delibera
tions.
It was decided to appoint a com
mittee of ton to act instead of the
twenty-five, who wore discharged at
their own suggestion, to make neces
sary arrangements for the proper ob
servance of next Monday, the day set
for the funeral. The following gen
tlemen were appointed : Nelson Beall,
Enoch Clise, Thomas Hill, R. T. Pow
ell, Rev. D. M. George, C. H. Walker,
J. B. Oder, Walter Edwards, Jethro
Jeffries and Isaac Anderton.
The Mayor was requested to issue ,
a proclamation requesting all tho
business places to close.
Tho pastors of the several churches
are requested to toll their bells from
12 o'clock noon to 3. p. m., and that
all citizens should wear a badge of
mourning on their breast or coat
lapels.
The committee have decided to hold j
an open air meeting in Oapt. Nelson j
Beall's grove which he very kindly j|
and voluntarily placed at their dis- -j
posal and to have eulogies delivered
by prominent speakers. The male
citizens will be notified by handbills v'
to meet at some designated spot and
form in procession headed by the
bands playing funeral dirges and
march to the grove to participate !in
the exercises.
As we go to press we are informed
by the committee that they have se
cured Hon. Henry W. Hoffman as
orator of the day.
In the Woods —The Emancipation J
Celebration Thursday.— A large and
orderly crowd of colored people gath- j
ored upon the Borden mining com
pany’s grounds, Thursday, to celebrate
the emancipation of their race. 1
Cooper’s Cornet Band, of Cumberland,
was present in dazzling uniforms, and j
enlivened the occasion with music
excellently rendered The dancing ;
and refreshmeut stands were well i
patronized. No disorder occuned to
mar the pleasure of the day and the
enjoyment was of a subdued charac
ter owing to the death of President
Garfield.
During the afternoon Mr. B, F.
Stewart, of Cumberland, delivered an
address, in the course of which he re
ferred in touching terms to the calam
ity that has bowed down a nation in
grisf.
About 6 p. m. the concourse re
tired to tho hall on Oak street, in
Brownsville, where the festivities
were kept up until a late hour.
The celebration throughout was ad
mirably managed, reflecting great
credit upon the committee having it
in charge.
The fair of the Crystal Comet
band has been a most complete suc
cess in every particular. The ladies
with their winning smiles and enticing
ways have drawn dimes from the
male visitors in exchange for some
thing" useful and the ooffeto of the
Baud will be refilled thereby. Don’t
forget that this (Saturday) evening
is the last of the fair with its pretty
Women, choice music, and good com
pany. Next Tuesday evening they
will give a grand ball at Odd Fellows
Opera House, the proceeds of which
go toward uniforming themselves.
Give them a "lift;” they deserve it.
The present street lamps are in
a miserable condition. Especially
noticeable are those on Main street
at the top of town, and the one in
; front of Wright’s barber shop. The
i bare post still stands at the corner
of Main street and Broadway with
. out a lamp upon it. See to it, Coun
cilman, that repairs be made upon
1 them.
