FroHtlmrg, Jan. 27, 1883. The Maryland Encampment G. A. E. met in Baltimore Wednesday, Comrade Thomaa Hill, of Thoburn Post, (hie place, attended. By the way, the movement to im peach the Mayor and Council for al lowing a dangerous skating-rink all over town this week has been aban doned. The bad weather has played havoc with “pay week." The merchants complain of consequent dullness in the well known and highly esteemed popular business habit of liquidating last month's bills. We haven't taken enough money in this office daring the week to get into the skating rink cn a dead-head ticket. Temperance Meetings. Eev. Uriel Graves, of Baltimore, is an nounced to deliver temperance ad dresses at Mt. Savege, Jan. 29th ; at Lonaconiug, 30th and Slab, and in Paul's Opera House, Feb, Ist and 2d, at the usual evening hour in each place. Mr. Graves enjoys considera ble reputation as an orator.

The fourth quarterly meeting for this station, same church, will be held to-day and to-morrow (Saturday and Sunday.) Rev. W. G. Hammond, P. E. will be present. The meeting in the M, E. Church is going forward with good prospects. According to Vennor the out-look for February is not cheering. A brief storm period marks its entry, which will moderate at clcss of next week. A great amount of rain and snow is promised during the month with brief periods of cold, as also extensive thaws, The worst weather is likely to occur in the West, and in the Mid dle Seaboard States towards or after the 25th. Next week we will con dense his predictions for the period between the 3d and 10th. Real Estate Sales.—Mr. C. M.

Monday Evening Next —Buptez t£ Benedict's Minstrels. —This com pany will exhibit in Odd Fellows' Opera House. The Lowell (Mass.) Courier publishes the following con cerning a recent appearance of the troupe in that city : A careful enumeration of the audience present at the entertainment given in Huntington Hail oa Saturday evening would have given the exact number which the hail can at present accomodate. Every seat aud inch of floor space that aflordod a view of the stage was occupied, and it became necessary to stop the sale of tick ets. In fact many ol the settees were over-crowded, as a sixth person iu many instances crowded iu without permission while but five seats were allowed to a settee, according to the plau. This matter will doubtless be corrected iu the Inture, after the ushers huxe become better ac quainted with their duties.

Don't know about that. Here in Frostburg wc have water works and only two or three factories. But, come to think of it, sometimes we have no fluid to run the water works. * A young man of this city who was invited by his mother to lug a hod of coal from the cellar, offered an amendment, striking out himself and substituting thereof bis father, stating as his reason tnathc had just returned from a seven days' vacation, and that it was a well-known proposition, laid down by Greeoleafs arithmetic, that seven days make one weak. The amendment was overwhelming voted down, end the original motion pre vailed by a solid vote oa both sides of the house.

Paul, of Akron, is secretary. In a letter in viting us lo be present, the latter gentleman informs us that the insti tute will meet for mine inspection at Youngstown on the 9ih of May next. Personal. —A late issue of the Pittsburg Leader has an article upon “Maryland Clock-makers, and the Remarkable Ingenuity of Citizens of Allegany County." It begins as fol lows, the conclusion being taken up with a description to which our rea ders are accustomed: "Frostburg is in Allsgany county, Maryland, and is remarkable for nothing specia ly save its bracing atmosphere in all seasons of the year, and as the home of the only three men in America that have bad sufficient ingenuity to build clocks. Not any of your twenty four hour or eight-day Connecticut clocks, but clocks that ara astronom ical, musical, historical, apostolical, aid in fact all that you could and could not expect from any well-reg ulated, nicely behaved clock. The first, known as the Strasburg, because it was patterned after that structure, caused a marked sensation in this country, and scientific men regarded it as a wonder of mechanism. Then it was that a tanner away up there in the mountains forsook his trade, and, like Grant, sought his fortune in another channel. Thie man, however, spent twelve years in modeling what may, in all truth, bo termed marve lous, because it is a piece of mechan ism unprecedented. He is not a bright appearing gentleman, this cx tauner from Maryland, and docs not look a genius, but when our reporter met him yesterday at the museum getting his clock ready for exhibition, his face was all aglow as he expatiated oa the beauties of his structure, and as hs showed the machinery he beamed out on us like an electric light. The clock, however told its own story, and in fact told many stories familiar to Maryland.”—This article refers toH. W. Wegman. Mr. A. B. Pugh, of the law firm of Dyer & Pugh, Petersburg, W. Va., was the guest of Rev. A. M. Oackley, of this place, over Sunday. He was tn route for Baltimore. Jerry aud James Couleban return ed home Friday of last wtek from Wheeling. . Miss Grace Hoblitzell, of Msyers dale, Pa., is the guest of Frostburg friends. Messrs R. H. Vanhorn and William Henshaw, of Lonaconiug, are enthu siastic skaters. They sleigh ride eixteen miles to and from the rink, and say nothing of n run of forty miles an hour on the rollers. Many of our readers will remember Fred Shuokhart, formerly of Frost burg. He is away out in New Mex ico doing well in a prominent and responsible position. We read a re cent letter from him ii few days ago containing a message which does honor to a dutiful ion. At the meeting last Friday even ing R. W. Mason, Esqj., was elected representative of Fraternity Council iu next (Session of Grand Council of ths State. Serious Railway Accident.— About two o'clock Tuesday afternoon a coal train of 12 scows, 51 hoppers and 3 locomotives, going east on the Georges Greek and Cumberland rail road, became unmanageable at Mon tell'e and ran away. At Percy’s trestling the front locomotive and scows became detached, the rear loco motive and 51 hoppers leaving the crack and going over the trestling, carrying five men—William Lyons, James McQettigan, James Dolan, Martin Welsh and J. H. Baldwin. Of these Messrs. Lyons, McQettigan and i Bcldwin wore killed, and Dolan and Welsh badly hurt. The fall was about 20 feet. There were twelve men on the train, seven saving them selves by jumping. No blame at taches to any one, as everything i possible was done to arrest the flight 1 of the train, and the accident was j due originally to defective brakes on the B. & 0. hoppers. Messrs. Mo- Qettigan and Lyons were interred Thursday, the latter in Frostburg. The body of Baldwin was found Thursday in the mass of coal. The highest estimate of the less placed by General Manager Millholland is f 25,000. Extinguishing the Abtor Mine Fire —An Unfortunate Accident. — , The pump used for propelling the water to the mine is one of the Cam eron make (New York). Itscapaoity 1 ie 90 strokes per minute, though it was put to work here at between 35 and 40, a force which filled the pipes nearly half full of water. The pipes are G inches diameter and extend up grade a distance of 3,000 feet to the point in-Pompey Smash where the fire broke out. Here the water was poured through a grating or screen, into which also clay was shoveled, the design being to thus convey the clay dow into the burning portions of the mine. The pump was worked by the boiler (located about 100 feat distant) of a C. & P. locomotive, which became disabled during the suspension. The recent cold snap, however, bad a disastrous effect upon the pipes, a number of joints freezing and bursting. Those will be replaced doubtless and the work go on until extinguishment is complete, or the fire rendered harmless so lar as it threat ens valuable coal ureas. Died.—Friday morning of last week at Blaeu Avon, Mrs. Mary Spier, wife of John Speir, aged 35 years. She was a daughter of the late Terence McGee, of Lonacouing, and leaves several small children. The slippery sidewalks and streets for about three-thirds of the time be tween Saturday nnd Thursday were topics of general conversation among the few people that bed the hardihood to attempt sociable discussion. A pleasing incident in connection with an otherwise sad affair was the prompt offer of General Superinten dent Buiwell, of the C & P. R., to the G. C. & C. R. authorities to aid them all in his power. Married. —January 24th, 1883, at St. Michael's Parsonage, this place, by Rev. V. F. Schmitt, Mr. Charles L.
