Mr. E. T. Grove, cabman, made a trip to Baltimore in his auto Sunday, those in the party being Messrs. Charlie Bailey, Harry Barnes, Harry Miller and Frank Geisbert. The trip was made in good time and proved to be a pleasant and suc cessful outing. The Marvel moving picture theatre, which has not been used since it was gutted by fire on May 1, opened for the first time on Tuesday. Extensive im provements have been made to the hall, so that it is more attractive than before the fire occurred. Messrs. George M. Zapf, Edward J. Meehan and George G. Ruppersberger, a committee representing the Old Town Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Associa tion, which will on July 17 come to this city on the annual outing of the associa tion, arrived in Frederick for the purpose of perfecting arrangements for the trip. Rev. C. W. Stinespring, a former min ister of the United Brethren church, this city, has been in Martinsburg, Va., for some time past, soliciting $8,000 needed to open the doors of the new Rocking ham Memorial Hospital. He returned to his home in Baltimore this week and will return to Harrisonburg later in the year. The Board of County Commissioners will make the tax rate for the year on Friday. This was given at the office of the Board of County Commissioners, and it was stated the levy might be made on Thursday if the revised assessment books can be completed by that date. The law compels the County Commissioners to make the levy in June so there is little grace yet remaining. The examinations for public school teachers certificates, which have been in progress at the Girls’ High School build ing, East Church street, were concluded by Superintendent John T. White. There were sixty-two persons who took the ex aminations, 54 white and 8 colored. Two persons took the examination for the first grade, and sixty for the second grade. Some time will be required to make out the reports from the examination papers. The new school building to be erected in the southern section of the city to re place the South street school, will in all probability be located to the south of Washington street, which is the street parallel to South street and one block south. The School Board has entered into a contract with Charles A. Poole, the owner of about three and one-half acres of land on this Street for its sale. The deed has not been executed but this will probably be done. The purchase price will be $3,500.
