Mining^^Journal J. HENSON on EM, Editor. FROSTBURG, MD. - SEPT. 23, 1911. “LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.” Under this heading J. C. Schade, a prominent official of the Winona Inter- Urban Railway, Warsaw, Ind.,told the Central Electric Railroad Association, at Cedar Point, Ohio, last month, among other things that— “lt will be necessary for inter-urban companies to follow the practice of steam lines and cut down curves and grades, and build belt lines and cut offs through towns,” etc. The talk of public-utility concerns by public-utility concerns always fol lows the line of what is best for them selves—never for the advantage of the town or community whose franchises they enjoy. At the same time they claim, and very justly—great credit for up-build ing of waste places—those through which they are compelled to pass to reach populous sections. The Journai, has held, however, tljat these utilities owe enough to counties and municipalities for their franchises to extend their lines, now and then, to points where the public can be accommodated and sections up built without regard to the certainty of immediate re-imbursement in patronage. If, for instance, the provision in the original franchise, issued to what is now the Cumberland and Westernport Electric Railway Company, requiring the extension up to High and return, via Eoo street, had not been unac countably surrendered at the demand of the Company, there is no doubt but that by this time great mutual profit would have accrued to both the sec tion thus accommodated and the Com pany. The more that the people got accustomed to the convenience the more they would have availed them selves of it. It is an instance wherein the old proverb—“multiply the facili ties and the facilities will multiply the results,” would have been exem plified. The route leads by two large schools, close to a third, and a fourth is al ready reached on the main line. To one of these particularly it would have brought pupils—to the State Normal. And what an attractive advertising item it would be for this institution— “an electric-car line runs by its door !” Among the things the town is striv ing for, or talking about striving for, should be the extension of the Belt Line—a proposition ultimately good for both town and the road. And until the town gets this con venience, so far as this road is con cerned, it will never be anything more than “a whistling station!” SELF-PROTECTION. The Journai, is glad to see the Taneytown Record, an able county paper, come out strongly against the proposed amendments giving Balti more increased representation in the Legislature. Its argument is unanswerable—so conclusively so that the good city peo ple themselves, in their oivn interest, should assist the counties to vote it down ! Golden Wedding. September IS, 1861, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kneiriem, of this place, were married, and Friday evening of last week their golden-wedding anniver sary was observed by relatives and friends at their home. Many appro priate gifts and numberless expres sions of congratulation made the oc casion one of great gratification to the good couple. Now Is the Time. From the fact that Braddock’s Rock is to be protected from souvenir hunt ers, one judges it must be pretty well picked to pieces already.—Baltimore News. Well, it’s not too late —if only the D. A. R. and C. C. will remove and securely environ it, as proposed in the Journai, a few weeks ago. Scholastic. Glenn Beall, son of Olin Beall, is a freshman in Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, Pa. Miss Flora McElfish will take a course in the Maryland Art Institute, beginning October 2d. Miss Martha E. Thomas left this week for Western Maryland College to resume her studies.

The corner-stone of St. James Lutheran Church, Huntingdon, Pa., Rev. F. R. Wagner, formerly of this place, pastor, will be laid to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon with elaborate and impressive ceremony. Rev. Mr. Wagner will be delighted to have any and all his many Frostburg friends ! attend. Farmers’ Festival. A splendidly-constructed “Premium- List” booklet, forecasting the offers of the Lonaconing Board of Trade for exhibits at the Farmers’ Festival at j that place October 20th and 21st, next, has been received. The program for first day includes } addresses by Gov. A. L. Crothers, } Prof. C. P. Close, State Horticulturist, j and Prof. T. B. Symons, State Ento mologist. The proposed Festival is a substan tial evidence of Lonaconing enter prise, bound to be of great benefit to j the town and farmers roundabout. The Great Picnic. Notwithstanding the threatening as pect of the weather last Saturday morning, the picnic was a great suc = cess. The town people came out and many : outsiders lined the streets. ’ The parade, though a great feature, L would have been greater but for the . weather outlook. On the latter ac ; count also there was over an hour’s delay in starting. With the German Arion Band lead ing, the post of honor was awarded to i the Mayor and Council of Lonaconing : in auto-carriages, followed by the i Mayor and Council of Frostburg. The ladies contributed to the beauty of the parade in floats, and the Moose to . its cavalier impressiveness, and, alto gether, it was a creditable turn-out. Very much credit is awarded the , Consolidation Coal Company for the . two accommodations of paying a day earlier than usual and suspending work on picnic day. The leading number of the picnic 1 program was the tournament, ridden ( by six intrepid, dashing Knights. The big crowd who witnessed this great exhibition of fearless horseman ( ship—who saw the noble animals . plunge through water and mud, must . be convinced that the tournament, as a sport, is the leading thriller of the day. Renaissant of medieval times, . it excels all others in the chivalric traditions which marked its advent to the field of gallant contest in the 11th century. Hence, it is tinged with , both the garnishments of courage and the embellishments of romance. But to this instance : The track was slow, the mud so deep The horses jumped just like wild sheep. Each lance looked long, the rings so small That no rider could take them all. . Clear to the core the Knights were game— : To crown the Queen and win great fame. . When the tilt was over it was plainly seen The Knight of Federal Hill would crown the Queen. The second best by far was Alvin Race, Who rode the Peanut King’s swift mare with grace. Then came Cecil Engle, on his spotted horse, To feel delighted that the track is no worse. Louis McCulloh, on his Mustang mount, Got some rings, which for fourth place did surely count. The Knight of Palo, and then—Red Rose— Well, such is life, and the way life goes! F. Brooke Whiting, of Cumberland, delivered the charge to the Knights, telling them graphically and eloquent ly the history of the tournament—its origin in war, its survival in peace. He delivered also the coronation address. Here he observed an in stance of how men will strive for a triumph which entitles them to the royal prerogative of crowning a Queen of Love and Beauty. The Knights won in the following order—two last losing : Knight of Federal Hill— David McCulloh “ “ Red, White and Blue— Alviu Race “ “ Sand Spring— Cecil Engle “ “ Orman— Louis McCulloh “ “ Red Rose— W. H. Evans “ “ Palo— James Rankin The Knight of Federal Hill crowned Miss Elizabeth Hartig Queen of Love and Beauty, and selection of attend ants upon the throne were made, re spectively, as follows : Red, White and Blue—Miss Mollie Keller, of Eckhart, Ist Maid of Honor. Sand Spring—Miss Pearl Engle, of Sand Spring, 2d Maid of Honor. Orman—Miss Edith Ridgely, of Cumberland, 3d Maid of Honor. The officers were— Marshal —Dr. J. C. Cobey. Aids —R. C. McNitt, Owen L. Porter, J. W. Shea. Time-Keeper —J. B. Rees. Good Fishing. Otto Hohing and son—Conrad, lat ter of Fidelity Bank, are giving South Branch fish a hard time this week. Arm Broken. Miss Helen Crowe, 13 years old, had an arm broken in a game called “crack-the-whip,” of the foot-ball class, Friday of last week. Death of a Learned Man. Rev. Dr. John W. Nott, rector emer itus of St. George’s Episcopal Church, Mt. Savage, for 12 years, after having previously been the active rector 35 years, died Saturday, September 16, aged 90 years. He Was a native of Massachusetts, unmarried, and many years a resident of this section. Long time a teacher, longer a preacher, he was all his life a student. He mastered several languages, the last and “most difficult,” he alleged, being the Welsh. For several years he had been help less, and for 10 years or more nearly blind. He lived with George Barth. Sev eral nieces and nephews are the only surviving relatives. The funeral was held Tuesday; in- j j terment at Mt. Savage.

By MILLARD MALTBIE ( \ Copyright by American Press Asso- \ ? elation, 1911. ' ( t v/wwwxA/wwv/vv/ 4 t There are many stories in the life of Abraham Lincoln. Probably no man ever lived who was connected with j more romances. But in them all there l is something sad. It was a period of i war in which these events of which he : was the central figure occurred, and - only a very few of the romances ex ■ traded from war have happy termina ’ tions. No one can look upon the por [ trait of Abraham Lincoln without see ; ing there the solemnity of those four r years when the boys of '6l to ’65 were j being mowed down like wheat, when every family in the north and in the -south were mourners. There is one event in the life of r President Lincoln which, if certain r efforts that were made had been un successful, would have left nonexist t ent his leadership in the great struggle and he would have gone down in • history simply as the man whose elec tion brought it on. True, it would have been adorned with the crown of i martyrdom, but at the beginning iu : stead of the end of his career. 1 This is the story of his escape from i that earlier attempt to assasinate him which was a failure: It was in the spring of 1861, when , secession sympathizers were plotting against the lines of communication leading from the national capital, that a man, middle aged, muscular and with a determined though tranquil face, appeared in Perrymansville, Md. He was a Pinkerton detective and had been sent there to discover plots to damage railroad property. When Mr. Lincoln went to Washing ton for his first inauguration, having ■ passed through New York, he went r southward on the Pennsylvania and , Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Allan Pinkerton, chief of a Chicago detec tive bureau, learned through a master machinist of the latter road that a number of secessionists had bound themselves by an oath to assassinate Mr. Lincoln while journeying to the ' capital. There was but little time to act, for the president elect was about - to leave his home. When the assassi nation plan was conceived it was not known by the conspirators by what route Mr. Lincoln would go to the cap ital. They were therefore obliged to arrange for an attack upon him at sev eral different points. The Perrymans ville branch of the organization pre tended to be a cavalry company. Web ■ ster, who, though of a quiet exterior, • knew how to sham very deep feeling ■ against the Yankee government, at once enrolled himself in this cavalry company. But getting into the company was far from getting its plans, and unfor tunately there was very little time to discover them. Webster relied on his pretended hatred of the government to secure his initiation into the inner cir cle. His ruse succeeded. He was in vited to go to the house of the captain of the company, but not to say a word about the invitation. In a room every window of which was protected against hearing and seeing from the outside he met men from the central point of the conspiracy, Baltimore, and was received as one of the planners of the work to be done. Seated about a table, the party dis cussed different methods of assassi nating the president elect. Webster, being a new man and of a reserved disposition, listened to the others, only occasionally pointing out some weak spot in a proposition or suggesting a way to obviate it. Before the confer ence broke up it had been decided to shoot Mr. Lincoln at the depot as he was passing through Baltimore on the 23d of March. Webster now had the plans in his possession. Taking himself away from the so called cavalry company, he went where he could safely commu nicate with his chief, Allan Pinkerton. On the night of the 21st of February Pinkerton met Mr. Lincoln at the Con tinental hotel at Philadelphia and re vealed the plot. The question now arose how, having the plan, to defeat it. A ruse was adopted. Instead of going on to Wash ington direct, Mr. Lincoln was taken northwest to Harrisburg. But it was no easy job to turn the gaze of mil lions of people from the most promi nent figure in the land with hosts of newspaper correspondents watching his every movement. The telegraph wires leading out of Harrisburg were secretly grounded, thus cutting off that city from the rest, of the world. Mr. Lincoln now being able to travel without news of his passage being tel egraphed from every station, a private train was made Up at Harrisburg, and the president elect—it is said that he was disguised—was taken back to Phil adelphia and at midnight of the 22d Instead of the 23d, as had been ar ranged, was rushed through Baltimore and early the next morning arrived safe in Washington. This brief statement of the plan to assassinate the president elect and its defeat is essential to the story—a story of Abraham Lincoln as the central fig ure and Timothy Webster, whose quick work was instrumental in sav ing him for the great work he was to accomplish. It would have been well bad the president kept Webster by him until, his task having been fin ished, he should return to the less dau- The Sick.

Mealing and Conrad Lapp, of Frostburg. 1 gerous field of private life. But Web ster could net have brooked four years of comparative idleness. Be sides, there ■was a continued need for his services. The only railroad thor oughfare between the northern Atlan tic states and the capital was continu ally threatened. Indeed, there was no safety on any line connecting the capi tal with the rest of the country. Even dispatches were not safe in transit. The first work done by Webster after foiling the intention of the Baltimore conspirators was to carry some impor tant papers through to the president. Webster found the railroad bridges burned by the secessionists. Taking the route through Havre de Grace, where a long bridge was destroyed, he was rowed across the river and hired S wagon to take him onward. He was 1 obliged to pass through Perrymans -1 ville, and the wagon was stopped by 1 the cavalry company in which Web ster had enlisted for a spy. He was rec ognized, but fortunately for him the fact that he had revealed their plot to the government was not known to them. Webster traveled on in company with an Englishman whose confidence he won, and the man revealed to him that he was bearing dispatches to southern sympathizers in Washington. When the two reached the environs of the capital, Webster, meeting one whom he knew to be a Union man, sent word by him to the picket guard that be wished them to arrest both him and his companion. This was done, but as soon as they were sepa rated Webster was released and went to the White House. There he was at once admitted to Mr. Lincoln and, taking off his coat and vest, ripped open the lining and produced the dis patches. They and those found on the Englishman were of vital importance. Possibly the latter were the more im portant, since they revealed that the president was living in a city where numbers of the enemy’s sympathizers were plotting for the capture of the ' capital. Webster, though he did not serve Mr. Lincoln personally, accomplished a great work for him as president. The spy played a double game. He would go south as a southern man and enter the service of the government for the purpose of giving them information of the designs of the Federal govern ment. There he pretended to be a Federal spy when he was really a Con federate spy. He was from the first a Pinkerton detective, and when Pinker ton organized the military secret serv ice bureau of the United States gov ernment Webster entered that service and worked for the pay he received in it. Ordinarily it is hard to tell which side a spy playing this double game is really working for. But Webster in the beginning saved the life of the president elect and con tinued to take him important informa tion, while he had only to give the Confederacy information that was un true or would not avail it. This being a story of Mr. Lincoln rather than Webster, the many re markable romances in the life of the latter during his term of service must be passed over without even a cata logue of them. Finally, though suf fering from rheumatism, he started south in company with a Miss Lewis, who was in his confidence. The trip was to be his last incursion into the south. Unfortunately he was laid up a long while in Richmond with rheu matism. Miss Lewis nursed him. During this time nothing was heard from him at Washington, and the president and others who knew of his mission became anxious about him. It was determined to send the mem bers of the secret service force south to look for him. The two men went to Richmond. They learned that Webster was lying ill at a hotel and blundered by going directly to see him without communi cating with him. In his room they found a Confederate and were rash enough to hand him a letter from Al lan Pinkerton which, they said, came from a friend of his in Baltimore. They came again and unfortunately met an officer from the provost mar shal’s office. This meeting led to their examination. They were identified by a person who knew them, and all was lost. When the news came to General Mc- Clellan’s headquarters that the two men had been arrested as spies and had implicated Webster, Allan Pinker ton hurried to Washington to see Mr. Lincoln and discover if anything could be done to save them. Singularly enough, Webster had saved Lincoln’s life, and now Lincoln was called upon to save Webster’s life. Mr. Lincoln called a special meeting of the cabinet to devise means to save the spies’ lives. Nothing could be done except to communicate through the secretary of war calling the atten tion of the authorities at Richmond to the fact that the United States gov ernment had always been lenient to Confederate spies and had never tried or sentenced to death any one caught carrying information. The message closed with a threat of inaugurating a different code in future if the spies were executed. Neither the fact pointed out nor the threat availed. Webster was hanged Miss Lewis was imprisoned for l year, and the two men who caused the tragedy were imprisoned for twenty two months. It is not probable that they would have escaped had they not Implicated Webster. But it must be remembered that they had only Indi rectly been spies. The last event of similarity between Mr. Lincoln and Webster occurred three years later, when Mr. Lincoln was again the object of the assassin’s bullet The double tragedy contains two singular coincidences. Both died for the cause, though neither of them as a soldier, and both died tragic deaths, one being hanged for a spy, the other murdered. Removal. Jerry Coulihan, Mt.

Five big red apples—two on one twig, made one of J. W. Shea’s win dows attractive this week. They were grown by Henry Morgan, the Carlos farmer, from “an odd tree” planted in the fall of 1899. Mr. Mor gan doesn’t know the name, but thinks it is “Wolf River.” With this tree were planted 75 others —“Golden Sweet, ” “Summer Queen,” “Summer Rambo,” “Yellow Trans parent,” “Alexander,” “Rambo,” “Paradise Sweet,” “Ben Davis,” “Tawn Sweet,” “Stark,” “Baldwin,” “York Imperial” and “Fallawater.” These trees have been bearing 5 or 6 years. Hast year’s crop was quite full, but wormy. This year Mr. Mor gan sprayed for scale and codling moth, and has more and finer apples than in any previous year.

Love-Story Comedy. “The Arrival of Kitty” will be the attraction at the Frostburg Opera House for one night only—Monday, September 25th. It is one of the breeziest and bright est comedies ever written by Norman Lee Swartout, and is one continual laugh from the rise of the curtain till the finale. It deals with the doings, principally, of Col. Bell, a gay old chap with a wealthy old-maid sister, who imagines him to be an immaculate member of society. Kitty is a pretty concert-singer, a friend of the Colonel, and her arrival is a much-dreaded event. Matters are complicated by the love affair of Jane, a pretty niece of Aunt J'ane, and Billy Brown, a college stu dent, opposition to which results in the determination of Billy to don female attire and impersonate Kitty, which causes the Colonel much un easiness. Useless Kicking. The “World of Sport” man on the Cumberland News informs the Pied mont team and clientele that kicking by the mountain’s foot “won’t mend matters.” Cert. The thing for Pied mont to do is to keep still. Resent ment, especially self-defence, keeps the Piedmont team out of even inter est on the money the Cumberland team owes them. Tale of Two ’Burgs. The following paragraph, taken from an industrial paper, indicates belt lines are needed in other ’burgs, too: “J. D. Gallery, president of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Railways, has prom ised to take up with the engineers of the company the suggestion that a belt line of cars be established to con nect and encircle the downtown dis tricts of Pittsburg and the North Side. The plan includes a system of trans fers that will place either of the two large downtown business sections within reach of persons from all parts of the city for a 5-cent fare.” The Journal has set forth else where the advantages the town would gain from the High-Loo street exten sion—advantages in prestige to both town and company. It would be a little like the science of advertising— it would pay whether direct returns could be traced to it or not. Don’t you see ?
