“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.

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.

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-

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.

,| Fine Apples.
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

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.

Another Good Witness.
'William Hammers, of Woodland,
this county, here last Saturday, vol
untarily and frequently stated the
fact that “the centennial is at least
five years too late.” His parents, em
j igrating to Ohio, reached here late in
the fall of 1807, but the winter set in
so severely that they had to remain
until spring, by which time they
“changed their minds” and determ
ined to settle here. Which they did.
Mr. Hammers is an old man, and as
the fact stated is one of his first rec
ollections of immediate family history,
{it can be accepted as true. The con
j elusion, then, is inevitable —there
must have been in 1807 —a year later
I than 1806, a house or houses here.
