LOCAL NEWS.

Hrcvil ics.

Too much manual labor this weekcuts down the area of the Journal’seditorial observations. The threatpaper cannot do two things at once ;

it cannot set type and write at thesame time.

A former Frostburg boy was in thebattle ot Coal Creek, Tenn. He wasclose to one of the men who were killedand was himself shot through thecoat-sleeve.

Some dispute of the fairness of thefiremen's race has been raised. ButMeyersdale won it —if not in speed, in

that which is better than speed —skill-ful arrangment an 1 performance. Itis one thing to get there quick, and■still another to throw water quick afteryou get there.

Several good articles from tin 1 NewYork fl'iV/exs kindly offered, but toomuch crowded this week.

The Meyersdale papers glow withpraise of Fio-tburg hospitality.

In future all claims of newspapersas newspapers or as sole and onlychampions of the people’s rights oughtto be accompanied by a barrel of salt,or an affidavit.

Personal.Eli Lancaster, of Marshalltown,

lowa, is here visiting old home scenesand friends. Twenty-four years agohe was a citizen of Frostburg, ‘"sincewhich time,” he says, “both growthand improvement have wonderfullychanged the place.”

Miss Nellie licetz, of Cumberland,is the guest of the Misses Damlo.

Olin Beall, of Roanoke, is here look-ing well and expressing undiminishedconfidence in the future of his town.

(ieorge M. I’erdew, of Lonaconing,was here Tuesday. Like his town, hewas feeling the same interest in Story’sbaseball team that an incubator cher-ishes in tin* game cocks to which ithas borne a sort of maternal relation.There was Mansfield, for instance, andseveral other “country-horns” to whomLonnconing's proud lips allude asstellar lights, though they shine withdiminished and flickering rays. Mr.I*, left for home on the late trainthinking that the next crowd thatcame tip here to witness a shut-putwould be a minority of Lonaconing'spopulation, minus one.

Mrs. C. 11. Roeder returned to herhome in Washington, I*. C\, this week,accompanied by her niece, Miss EvaCrump.

Miss Grace Feaga, of Cumberland,is visiting Miss Lizzie Bath.

Misses Laura and Bessie Evitt,guests of Miss Mollie A. Thomas, havereturned to their home in Baltimore.

Miss Mamie Dobbie, of Lonaconing,is spending the week with (’apt. J. I’.Smith's family.

Mrs. J. E. Wilson, of Johnstown,l’a.. is visiting her patents, Mr. andMrs. R. M. Thomas.

Col. Vinegar Bitters, of Lonaconing,was taken violently ill on Bowery justas the firemen's parade passed a givenpoint. The sight of the rattlesnakeupset his predisposition to anti-biliousness.

Col. Whoop Koffkutter, of thekingdom of Allegany, viewed thefireman's parade from the corner ofMain street and Devil’s alley.

Frank 1). Russell, aforetime pre-scription salesman in R. G. Colborn'sdrug store, was in town this week.He has a position in Johns HopkinsUniversity hospital, Baltimore.

Messrs. C. E. Smith and CharlesWilcox, of the Meyersdale Commtrtbtland Register, respectively, paid theJournal a call last Saturday.

J. T. Engleby, of Roanoke, Va.,turned up unexpectedly here lastSaturday", and has spent the week withhis family at Mr. Staples’.

A. Porter, of the City Natiouallank, Norfolk, Va., is at home.

Miss Lucy Taafel, of Cumberland,spent this week with Miss Belle C.Wilderman.

Miss Maggie McDonald, of Pitts-burg, Pa., is visiting the family ofRev. A. C. Thomson.

“W. J. Purdy,” says the Salisbury(Pa.) Star, “who used to run a barbershop in this town, came over fromFrostburg, his present location, onMonday, for the purpose of renewingold acquaintances here. “Johns,” aswe used to call him, is looking exceed-ingly hearty, and says he is prosper-ing nicely, all of which we are glad toknow, for there are few better barbersand no better men on general prin-ciples than our old friend Purdy.”

The Ilyndman Bulletin (Pa.) reportsthat “ex-Mayor J. S. Metzger, ofFrostburg, was in town Sunday andspoke in glowing terms of Hyndmanwater works. The water, he said,could not be surpassed.” The ex-Mayordoubtless added—except by thatof Frostburg, but the Bulletin forgot toprint it.

Corporal Q. Cumber Pickles, ofBarton, expressed considerable disgustat the military pretensions of Mr.Pink Whiskers of Pocahontas. Hesaid he could raise a squad in Bartonthat could lick all the firemen inPocahontas. Mr. Whiskers, hearing ofthis bravado, started out to hunt forthe corporal and found that the latter,fearing he hud talked too loud, hadleft on footback to get home ahead ofthe train.

The Firemen's Picnic.Last Saturday was a great day.The greatness thereof began early.The firemen —for it was their day,

the 14th anniversary of their organ-ization—began activities soon, andthey flitted hither and thither inbrightred uniforms among the fast increas-ing tide of visitors that flowed in fromall courses. A goodly number of flagsand some bunting were displayed.

Before 10 o’clock the local Depart-ment and Meyersdale, which had comeoverland the day before, and bandswent to meet the visiting organizationsfrom Cumberland and the Creek. At

10f the line had been completed byFrank Spates, marshal, and AlfredJeffries, aid. A carriage containingthe Mayor and Council led the pro-cession, which was nearly a mile inlength, viz :

Meyersdale (Pa.) tire department—engine,reel and 20 men.

South Cumberland—engine, reel and 40men.

Cumberland hose company—engine, reeland 00 men.

Lonaconing fire department—reel and 20Allegany mines hook and ladder company

—entire apparatus and 25 men.Float carrying a Goddess of Liberty.Borden mines Lightning-Cure hook, lad-

der and bucket company—43 men, 15 boysand Fisher's menagerie of a hog, pig, rat,porcupine, fox and rattlesnake.

Eicliorn & Burton’s brigade, preceded bythe Goheen fire department—60 boys under13 years in uniform.

Itumsey’s Darktown fire company, oiPocahontas —Schofield's engine and 60 menin uniform.

Frostburg fire department—reel and bookand ladder carriage, COmen.

At intervals along the route the fol-lowing named bands marched andplayed :

Meyersdale (Pa.) cornet.Lonaconing silver cornet.Independent cornet and—-(Jerman Arion, of this place.The line of march was along Maiu,

Broadway, Frost avenue, High, Main,Bowery and Oak streets to Beall’spark.

One of the amusing features of theprocession was a burlesque coloredcampmeetiug scene. The venerablepastor howled the truth at his mem-bers with great voice and violent ges-ture. Just as the float passed theJournal office a trustee indecentlyspit in church and in the presence ofthe ladies.

The Allegany mines display was apleasing burlesque.

So was the Borden mines turnout,although this is to be, it is said, a per-manent organization.

A pretty portion of the parade wasthat occupied bv the GO odd boys in

uniform and directed by W. ScottBurton. They looked well and didwell.*

The Darktown division of the linewas most laughable. The diversityand gi otesqueness of the uniforms andthe marching were fine examples ofthe comic.

Schofield’s extemporized engine wasan ingenious contrivance—a barrel,surmounted by a tin smokestack con-taining au air pump, burning waste.

This was a striking burlesque of thesteam lire engine.

At tiie grounds a house that hadbeen carried in the parade was burn-ed. Burton’s Goheen compauy res-cued the occupants and extinguishedtlie fire with great success.

At 34 o'clock the race came off.Meyersdale made the run of 200 yardsand turned threw water in 40 seconds;Lonaconing in 50 seconds ; Cumber-land in 50 seconds. The judges,Messrs. D. J. Betz, D. F. McMullenand George Ort, awarded the prize,$25, to Meyersdale.

The greasy pig contest was declared“ofi"' in deference to a shower thattook up the portion of the day dedi-cated to that part of the program.

lion. George L. Wellington washere in the fore part of the day, Hon.W. M. McKaig during the latter.

Not an unpleasant incident marredthe day. The management was mostefficient in all respects and the depart-ment deserves all tlio praise and themoney that was realized.

lteligioiiN.Rev. Henry Homan, of Ridgeville.

W. Va., will preach in the M. E.Church, South, to-morrow (Sunday)at the usual hours.

Rev. A. G. Gekeler, of the Reform-ed church, is sojourning in Washing-ton city. While there he fills the pul-pit of Rev. A. Homrighaus. The lat-ter is visiting Frostburg and recipro-cating Mr. Gekeler's kindly office*.Each preached for the other last Sun-day, and will do the same to morrowat the usual hours.

Always on Top.A Southern Maryland lady writes a

private letter to a lady in this placedetailing interesting incidents of atripjust made to Annapolis. Amongthesewas an exploration of the State House.“In the hall of the House of Dele-gates,” she writes, “a desk was open-ed, and there the first object thatgreeted my view was a copy of theFrostburg Mining Journal lyingona mass of other papers. 1 captured it,brought it home and will preserve itas a memento of the trip.” As usual,
