The Proposed Lease of the The joint special committee on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, of which Senator Bowlut is chairman, had their first meeting Wednesday evening in the canal office. President Baughman, of the canal, was present. The resolution under which they were appointed provides that they Rhall inquire into the affairs of the canal, and in their discretion report a bill to the This is a movement of importance to canal interests, and by its friends the hope is entertained that it will lead to a settlement of the 6tatus of the canal and relieve the State of the burden which it now entails. The proposition is to device legislation that will result in the lease of the eanal to parties who are interested in the Cumberland and Wesi Virginia coal companies, especially to those which are not controlled or closely identified witli the Baltimore and Ohio or any other tidewater railroad.

This will insure the canal as a permanent competitor of the railroad. The lessees will organize as a transportation or towing company, which will be equipped to do coal carrying independent of the railroads. The plan also contemplates a scaling of the principal aud Interest on the preferred debt of the canal and the amount to be paid for the lease will insure the payment of thiB interest and also pay a sum into the State's treasury. The parties to lease the canal are said to be prepared to enter into the agreement. A prominent friei.d of the canal says the State has invested $7,000,000 in the canal, but that it has been for a long series of years of much benefit to the people of Baltimore and elee'vhere as a competitor of the railroads.

It at one time cost $5 a ton to have coal brought from Piedmont to Baltimore. The rate is now $1.30, and the canal has done its share in breaking down the exorbitant charge. The ca; nal could not sold as the State conI stitution now as it requires that a Legislature two years after must ratify the sale. Therefore the plan to lease the eanal is the best that can be devised. The canal has been necessarily closed for three months because of the winter.

Now that the opening season is at hand, the miners are thieatening to strike at the coul mines, which, if it occurs will perhaps leave the canal without business for some time longer, and a disorganization of affairs in the coal region may cripple the canal all next summer. The strike of a couple of years ago lusted all summer. The I canal cannot afford to be optraiedat a cost of $10,000 a month or more, and be without business. Therefore if a strike occurs in ho coal region, a general dropping of canal envployees may be necessary Baltimore Sun. Conference The Baltimore Conference of the M.

Thursday evening the Mecklenburg Reading Club of Shepherdatown diverted itself from the "feast of reason" which distinguishes its weekly meetings, and gav? its full attention to a feast of more substantial an unutterably enjoyable supper and the critical discussion of what the markets can afford to please the palate. The supper was held at the roomy and comfortable residence of Dr. Reynolds, and? perhaps because there have been so many enjoyable entertainments held under that hospiuble roof? was a source of pleasure from the very start. Clever and beautiful ladies, with the gentlemen also looking and acting their best, the flow of wit and the sparkle of humor, ard the thousand and one pleasures that are the natural accompaniments of such an occasion, all helped to make up a truly delightful evening. Durng the evening a representation, or rather perversion, of some of Shakespeare's characters was given by some o( the young ladies, and was exceedingly interesting.

The supper then followed, and a good one if was. The ladies who prepared it must have felt highly complimented at the appreciative manner with which every one attacked it. It had been liberally and artistically gotten up, and it was demolished in the same manner. The balance of the evening was devoted to music and other means of enjoyment, and when the time for departure came no one was ready for it. But it was impossible to stay forever, and the company had to disperse reluctantly All who were present, including several visitors from other places, expressed themselves as having had a highly enjoyable evening, and oik that would long be remembered.

Those are our sentiments, and we hope the Reading Club may soon have another similar affair. Ilealh of Mrs. Eliz abetii Hess, wife of Mr. John Hess, the esteemed County ot Schools of county, died at tier residence near on Tuesday. She had been ill but a few days, of typhoid pneumonia, and her death was quite sudden.

Mrs. Hess was a woman of many qualities, and was beloved by a very large circle of trituds and reelatives. A faithful wife and mother, a kind friend, ami lovable and charitable iu all her ways, she leaves a place that cannot be filled. Mrs. Hc.ss was the mother of a large family, and her tons and are among the best of our citizens, and are worthy children oi excellent parents.

Coal Wtrike. In compliance with the order of the Executive Board of the National Federation of Miners in District No. 3, the coal miners in the Cumberland region struck last Monday for an advance often cents per ton. Nearly all of the miners have quit, ami there are not more than one or two mines being worked. Whether or not the strike will be a long one depends on the soft coal miners in" other regions.

If they strike also, the tight is likely to be a long one, with the chances tor winning in favor of the miners. If the strike is not a general one the Cumberland men will return to work.

The first year it is broken up they fertilize with cotton seed meal, which they claim to take the sourness out the ground, so say the natives. Lumber sells cheap here. The best of dressed lumber $15.00 per thousand, best hard pine shingles $3 50 per thousand flooring, tongued and grooved $15.00 per thousand, fencing hoards $8.00 per thousand; this puts house-building cheaper than it is in Virginia.
