EMMITSBURG.
February 19th, 1895.
It is with sadness that we announce
the death of Mr. James Bak u r, a well
known resideutof this vieiuity. His re
mains were laid beneath the sod in
■ Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, on
last Tuesday raoruiug, at 10 o’clock,
Itev. Father Kavinaugh officiated.
Mr. Cornelius Gelwicks, engineer on
tiie Emmiisburg Radroad, is suffering
severely from being frozen while snow
b.uud during the recent blizzard,
which prevailed here a few weeks ago.
His place is being tilled by Mr. Theo
dore Burtuer, his fireman. We hope
that Mr. Gelwicks will soon be able to
get about again.
There are many large snow drifts to
he seen now wherever you look.
On last Tuesday morning, at St.
Joseph’s Catholic Church, of this
place, at 9 o’clock a. m., Mr. Authouy
Weveil and Miss Annie Sanders, both
of Emmitsburg, were united iu matri
mony by Rev. Kavinaugh. The
groomsman was Mr. Harry Rider and
the bridesmaid was Miss Mamie Trnx

HARMONY.
February 12, 1895.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to burn tiie large woolen mill, at this
place, last Thursday eveuing, a little
after 12 o’clock. The mill, which is a
large brick building, stands iu the cen
tre of our village aud is owned by the
heirs of the late George W. Summers,
aud has beeu staudiug idle for the
past twelve years. The tenant house is
occupied by Mr. Harvey D. Baker,
who discovered the tire. Noticing a
light iu the mill he gave the alarm,
aud in company with some others has
tily made an investigation, i'liey dis
covered the fire on the second floor im
mediately under one of the card ma
chines. The miscreant who started
the fire had gathered a pile of rubbish,
which he coal-oiled well before he
started the fire. Mr. Baker and party
managed to extinguish tiie fire just
as it commenced to burn the flooring.
About thirty of our young people
met at the residence of Mr. Harvey D.
Baker last Thursday eveuing, where
they held a social party aud enjoyed
themselves until the wee small hours.
Those preseut pronounced the party a
grand success.
Mr. Harvey Rideuour, assistant
teacher iu our public school, failed to
make his appearance last week. Con
sequently Prof. R. G. Harley, the prin
cipal, has been over-zrowded this week.
Friday, Prof. Harley started out as an
exploring party of oue to hunt Mr.
Ridenour. He reported that tiie roads
would be opened sufficiently by Mon
day to allow Mr. Rideuour to return
to his duties.
Our public roads are still in a deplor
able condition owing to tiie snow
drifts, many of them being impassible,
The road from here to Middletown is
filled with suow from eight to ten feet
deep, and no attempt has been made
to open it.
The Harmony Cornet Band, of this
place, is hustling around trying to
raise funds to buy a band wagon. The

them success in their venture.
Miss Katie Bussard, who lias been in
Ohio several years, lias returned to this

On Wednesday, February 13th, fire
destroyed the house and part of the

a swift gale blowing it could not be
controlled.

JOHNBVILLE.
February 18, 1865.
During the last cold spell much dam
age was dime to tiie contents of cellars
iu this vicinity. It is thought that at
least half of the potatoes are frozeu
and much canned fruit spoiled. Bnow
drills were the largest ever seen iu this
section of the country. Owing to our
town’s elevated location, it contilns
many large snow banks; the largest is
about the center of the town, ju-t
around the corner of the M. E Cnurch
and is nearly as high as the building
itself.
The debate at Mountain View school

SHOOKSTOWN.
Febuary 18, 1895.
One of the most terrible snowstorms
in the memory of our oldest residents
passed over this section last week.
With ihe thermometer ranging from
four to twelve degrees below zero, „ur
people found it somewhat difficult to
keep warm with their rooms heated to
the highest degree. The horses and
cuttle were only sheltered by the p tor
protection of their stable rooms, many
of which were over strewu with suow
and iee during this terrible period.
Many fowls were frozen, some being
tound dead iu their usual haunts about
Hie bams, while a larger number were
blown from their perches among tne
trees, and frozeu iu the driving snow.
About oue-t bird of the wild birds are
repoited to he either frozeu or starved
to death, not excepting the hardy old
crow, who familiarizes himself, in as
much as lo linger about thebirns, and
eveu at times comes aud dines among
his domesticated cousius. The roads
were utierly impassible until a few days
since, being almost tunnelled through
at Hie expense of the county. Home of
tiie suow banks have completely hid
lieu the fences along the roads, w hile
the gravel and dust from the barren
fields are heaped in great masses.
Had uot this storm abated as soon as
itdid, great suffering would have occur
red lhroughoui the eulire country, not
withstanding the arnouut which
lias been exiierieuced.
Mr. Elias Grove, who supervises the
road leading from this place to Brad
dock, had a number of hands busily en
gaged opening that road the past
week, but since the show of Tuesday
uighl ibis road has beeu so overdrifled
as to allow of no traffic. Through the
kindness of the land owners, their
fields have been opened and used for
travel.
The Star Miustrel and -Comedy
Company, composed of a number of
members from this place, made tluir
first appearance in Burkhart’s Hall,
at Yellow Springs, on Saturday, tiie
16th inst. turther information con
cerning this event will be furnished I
the Citizen by their reporter of that
place.
The Sacred Heart Sunday School
opened at its usual hour, 2 o’clock p.
hi., ou Sunday last, with a large at
tendance. A good sermon is given
each Sunday by one of the teachers
of the Frederick Novitiate, which is
well appreciated by those present.
All are iuviied to attend, aud the
greatest care will lie taken to benefit
and interest those who will favor the
school by tbeir presence.
The Novitiate has rented of Mr. A.
A. VVickless, that tract of land ad
jo.niug Mr. J. F. Summers on the west,
and tiie public road that leads to Brad
dock outlie south, for the purpose of
converting it into a paik and play
ground for the following season. They
will build a large hall on the summit
from which a grand view of tiie sui
rounding country can tie obtained.
The beautiful panorama of the Au
rora Borealis lias once more come to
view. What a beautrul sight these ra
diant lights of the northern skies
preseut.
Ancient superstition has the ame
thyst for the birth-stone of the present
mouth, and according to their ideas,
it would prevent all passious of vio
lence, also us a safeguard against druuk
eu ness.
February, according to the best au
thority, derived its name from tiie
Latin word Februa, tiie feast of pu
rification, held on tiie loth day of this
month, by the ancient Romans.
One would scarcely imagine the pic
turesque notions on record iu that di- j
vision of the Patent Office which has
charge of railway cars. Yet to tiie iu- |
vestigator, no branch of the institution ;
will yield more interest. There is a
patent for a plan which enables two I
trains to pass each other on the same j
track, going in opposite directions. Tne
idea is for the one train to pas* over
the lop of the other aud resume the
track again. We should hate (o take
upon ourselves tiie responsibility of
suggesting which train would be ttie
safer to advise a passeuger to occupy,
Tne question, although simple as it
may seem, often comes to us from
scholarly persons, do nicks grow? As |
a general answer to this question l i
would say that the best authorities
have concluded (hut rocks do not grow j
iu the sense that plants do. By accre
tion they may increase in size, as (hey
may, and do undergo wonderful
changes. Old swa (aids that relifted
themselves up and were exposed for
ages, became stratified beds of lime or
sandstone. Volcanic ashes and lava,
strewn over bills anil plaius becomes
hard euough for building stone. And
as many of our readers have often no
ticed, the (tebbly stoues ot rivers, aud
eveu small streams, often transform
themselves into solid rock. A spark
ling prism of quarts increases into a
monster crystal of varying leugth and
breadth. Wonderfully slow this pro
cess is, but with a mathematical exact
ness, that is eveu uot a little surprising
to persons well up iu the science of
geology, very nearly the exact increase
in a given lime cau be ascertained. Iu
one -euse stones grow and in another
they do not, for while the ery.-td may
become larger, the boulder on ihe load
side will remain the same for a thou
sand years.
Valentine day, as it is generally
termed, at tiiis period, signifies Ihe re
ceiving of a token ot love, especially,
and regard, or an abominable carica
ture to insult and infuriate. The four
teenth of February is t lie day named,
nltuougli valentines may be sent until
the end of Hie month. As our merry
young people go ou with Hie pleasures
of this dale, I wonder if they ever pon
der to tniuk of whom tins day was
named. It was Bt. Vaeuiine.a charit
able Bih<>p who was beheaded at
Rome, 270 A. D., at tiie time of the per
secution of Christians by Emperor Clau
dius. Vuleuiine was a very kind and
loving man to bisflockof tormented
Christiana, and so greul was his exam
ple of love instilled into the hearts of
his followers, that when the date of his
execuiiou came around they would
mingle in brotherly union and liuger
at the altar in prayer to the Haint. To
absent friends they sent tokens of love
and friendship which were accepted iu
same spirit. That is when aud

Mr. Main Says He Bribed Several
County Commissioners to Secure
the Position of Superintendent.
Three Hundred Dollars the
Amount Said to Have Been Paid
—Granti Jury Investigation.
lu years past it lias beeu the boast f
the Democratic leaders in Frederick
County, that the affairs of the county
had beeu conducted on a business like
and economical basis, uud that there
were no jobs of any character by which
any oue could tie censured. The state
ments of Mr. Main, ex-suiieriuteiideut,
that three of the Commissioners had
been bribed by a Kilt of one hundred dol
lars each, to secure his appointment,
was a surprise to most of our people.
Rumors of such a deal and indeed all
kinds of rumors wereatliat ah iut the
time the Board of Charities and Cor
rectious decided upon removing Ml.
Derr, who had been oue of the best
Superintendents ever iu charge of
Moutevue. This unwise step was urg
ed as a blow to the Democratic leaders
and the general management of the
party. How unwise and how un
profitable it was, subsequent events
have demonstrated. Of course, no one
blames Mr. Main for trviug to secure
ihe place; lint the inmates had been so
kindly cared for; the poor watched
over with such zealous cure, that out
side of a few always ready to find fault,
our people. Republicans aud Democrats
justly gave credit to Mr. ilerr, for his
excellent mauageuient of the institu
tion. The Board of Charities ami Cor
rectionsafter having Mr. Main under
their direction foroueyear, decided to
request Mr. Derr to return. At a meet
ing recently held. Mr. Derr, who has
been in the city ever since his retire
ment from his position at Montevue,
was reappointed. As to the charge of
Mr. Miin of his having bribed the
Commissioners, we cannot believe
such a thing possible. The three
geutlemeu spoken of stand well
in this community. Mr. Morrison is a
high-toned citizen of Euiniitsburg
District; his eutire life is well known to
her people and his character has al
ways been beyond reproach. Mr.
House resides near Jefferson; his father
has beeu an honored citizen for years,
and his sou is looked upou in the
same light. Mr. Dclauder has been a
poor hardworking man living in Cat
octiu District, and in his nomination
aud election the fluttering vote receiv
e I, would indicate that no mistake had
been made in his selection. The geu
tlemeu accused are entitled to preseut
their side of the question aud judg-
I meut should be suspended until then.
We are well aware of the utter falsity
of many stories iu circulation, and are
forced to believe that ttiis is one of
the same kind; at auy rate, the Grand
Jury must do its duty, and thoroughly
investigate all charges, no matter who
may lie affected by the investigation.
Wickless vs. Gonso, Decided.
The damage law-suit of Wieklessvs.
Gonso, of this place, iias caused no lit
tle inconvenience to witnesses on that
case to attend Court during the terrible
weather of the past two weeks. Court
convened Wednesday morning with
Chief Judge James McSherry aud the
Associate Judges on the bench. The
plaintiffs witnesses were all present
tint two, when Court couveued. When
the case was called up neither the de
feiidant'.or his witnesses could lie found,
and us civil suits were to end on that
date, no time could ne spared. Mr.
Win. P. Maulsby, the defendant’s law
yer, proposed that the Judges should
view the damaged property, and then
render their verdict. The proposition
being accepted, the witnesses were dis
missed.
Pleasant Debate.
finite an interesting debate occurred
iu Odd Fellows Hall, in New Market,
last Friday, on the subject of “Ambi
! bitiou” and “Necessity.” The spa
cious room was well filled with people
from all over the district, and the re
sult of the friendly war of words was
1 the decision oy the judges in favor of
1 the defenders of “necessity,” who were
fiom Monrovia. Those taking part in
I the discussion were: Messrs Bruce Mur
j dock, J. M. Wood, Roy Sponseller,
| Noah Flickinger, J. C. Williams, Clias.
: Skegs, M. G. Buxton and C. L. Shee
| ler. The ability of the debaters adduc
ing strong arguments in support of
their ideas was most creditable to the
society which brought the matter to
such a pleasant termination. Debating
clubs are highly educating in charac
ter, aud should be formed in every sec
tion of the county. Every oue should
| take an interest and help the good
| cause along.
Free Soup to the Poor.
The Carlin House Free Soup Distrib
uting Association, formed during the
most severe weather of last week, for
the purpose of aiding the poor and
needy lu our community, has been
doing a world of good, and the crowd
that gathers daily at tile Market house,
when the strengthening soup aud a
loaf of tiread is handed out to each
worthy individual will make one
think how little is really known of the
destitution which exists iu our midst.
Whilst no one is literally starving, iu
the true meaning of the word, yet
charitable societies and even the above
worthy institution fail to reach the
most, deserving. Those who contrib
uted to the soup fund have been amply
repaid by the thought of the great
good accomplished and the number
of hungry mouths fed with nourish
ment day bv day. • Frederick cannot
be surpassed’.in the amount of chari
table feeling contained within her por
tals, uud is ready at all times to help
those who are unfortunate or iu auy
way needful.
A Prosperous Concern.
The recent organization of “The Press
Claims Company,” located in Wash
ington, bids fair to become a very im
portant concern. A uumb-r of well
known and prominent newspaper men
of the country are connected with the
organization. Mr. R. E. Freeman, of
the Danville Register, is President; A.
J Symond, secretary; A. L. Hughes,
treasurer, and John Wedderbum, gen
eral manager. Among the directors is
Col. Philip Averett. oue of the most en

of the State. The company will de

That the blood should perform its vi
tal functions, it is absolutely necessary
it should not only be pure "but rich iu |
life-giving elements. These results are
best effected by the use of that well |
known standard blond-purifier, Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
The entering wedge of a fatal com
plaint is often a slight cold, which a
dose or two of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
might have cured at the commence
ment. Therefore, it is advisable to have
this prompt and sure remedy always
at hand to meet au emergency.
