THE hack going from Berkeley
Springs to Sir Johns Run on Christ
mas eve, met with an accident which
narrowly missed being fatal one to
the passengers and driver. There
were but two passengers, Messrs. B..
w. Catlett and j. McC. Duckwall,
and Mr.. Chas. p. Jack was driving.
Being a little late Mr.. Jack urged
his horses into rapid gait. About
half mile from Sir Johns the road
runs parallel, for a hundred yards or
more, with a precipice, which is so
deep that very tall trees growing be-
low fall far short of reaching the
road above. Just as the hack reach
ed a point opposite this precipice,
where the road is only about twelve
feet wide, and while the horses were
trotting very fast, the hind wheel Of
the hack next to the precipice broke,
and the horses started into a run
and almost instantly che front wheel
on the same side broke and the hack
plunged towards the precipice.
When the second wheel broke the
driver fell from his seat into the bot
tom of the hack in such position
that he could not control his horses,
and from which he could see his
hack, his passengers and himself
falling towards the precipice, with
the certainty that the hack must
soon turn over, and hurl men and
horses to horrible death. But with
great skill and presence of mind Mr..
Jack worked himself into a position
from which he could manage his
now running and terribly frightened
horses, and in a few seconds he
brought them to misunderstanding
and panting-at the very brink of
the precipice. All parties escaped
without serious injury, and the gal
liant driver put his passengers on
horseback and safely escorted them
to the depot in time to meet the
train.

THE Corporation met the interest
on its bonded debt promptly on Jan
uary list. The Corporation has met
its financial obligations promptly
during the past two years, and is
getting into good financial shape.
All that is needed to place it on a
sound and substantial footing is the
practice of the same close economy
in the management of its affair that
has characterized the past two years.
There is demand on the part of the
citizens to have the street lamps
lighted, and the Gas Company has
made proposition for lighting
them that is very reasonable. Still,
they cannot be lighted without con-
siderable expense, and it is extreme
ly doubtful whether the corporation
is yet in condition to safely under
take it. We should be extremely
glad to see the streets lighted, if it
can be done without endangering
the certain carrying out of the pres
ent financial plans of the Corpora
ton. But it is our opinion that 1t
would, in theend, be much better for
our people to put upyet awhile with
the inconvenience of dark streets,
rather than risk endangering the
credit Of the Corporation which is
now being slowly built up again, and
in the end being forced to do with
out light from the very necessities of
the case as heretofore. Rather let
us use every economy until the float
ing debt is entirely paid off, and the
CORPORATION credit firmly establish
ed, when we can not only have our
streets lighted, and pay for it, but
will be able to reduce taxation,
which is matter that every citizen
is deeply interested in. This is the
object now to be worked for, and
with proper support on the part of
the citizens, it can be accomplished
in much shorter time than many
suppose.

The entertainment given by the
M. E. Church South Sunday School,
in Feller's Hall New Years night,
was decided success in every re-
spect. The hall was crowded to its
fullest capacity, and the general
expression was that it was one
of the best entertainments of
the kind ever given in Martinsburg.
The vocal and instrumental music
was of a high order, and elected the
highest commendation. The select
reading was rendered in fine elocu-
tionary style, and deserved the high
applause which it elected. The
music rendered by the school was
excellent, and showed good training.
The tableaux were the best ever put
on the stage in Martinsburg. The
vocal solos rendered by Miss Har-
desty and Miss Pitzer showed vocal
talent rarely found outside the pro-
fession.
