done too much toward making 1t q
place for pleasure and health, just
west of the divide chat separates the
waters of the gulf and ocean, the
town is some 5000 feet above the
restless Atlantic. Strictly in its in.
fancy, and so having no walks nor
improved streets there is ''as much
mud in the streets as if the waters
had but newly retired from the face
OF the earth" But this can only be
a matter Of year or so. The river
drainage of Beaver and Blackwater
to which the town slopes with some
judicious work, should make COM
plete drainage. These streams and
mountains piled one over against the
other afford facilities for the pleas
ure and recreation seeker, whether
il be hunting, fishing, sketching,
photographing, boat-riding, sight
seeing, or health seeking. Deer
abound for the hunter, with not a
few bear and wild cats, and the
streams are alive with trout Tor the
fisherman. while at the town the long
eddy damned makes a fine course
for boat riding. In summer the
sides Of the everlasting mountains
white with the blossoms of thick
matted laurel under the rich green
foliage Of untouched forests, and the
falls of sixty feet close by give the
sight-secr, sslSetcher and photogra-
pher an abundance of pleasureable
occupation. Maliara and snakes are
unknown here. The cxhilarating at

bookbinder, stabbed and instantly
killed his brother-in-law, William
Heath, Fifth avenue saloon keeper
The weapon, which was knife such
as is used by bookbinders, entered
the left breast and pierced the heart.
Heath married a sister ofthe murderer
eleven months ago against the wish
es of the latter and he has had q
grudge against him ever since. To-
night he came home and began using
the most abusive language. Heath
left the house to avoid trouble and
Hammers followed him into the yard.
In few minutes he returned for his
coat and addressing his father said
Il killed Bill but couldn't help it,
He then ran out and has not yet
been captured.
Heath was found lying in the yard
dead. His wife is in delicate health.

After short soiourn at my home

panied me. is now socially occupy
ing room on hall G., and seems to
be perfectly satisfied with his general
surroundings, and, from indications
is likely soon to recover from his
deep mental depression.
am pleased to say that the gener-
al health of the asylum is represent
ed to be good with many much
improved, mentally. This morning
it was my pleasure to accompany
young preacher to the depot, who is
greatly improved and taken out upon
bond by bis father to go to his home
in Preston Co. Bright, cheerful and
hopeful of full restoration. 1t is
hoped never to have areturn of his
mental trouble. Patients of Berkeley
and adjoining counties whom 1 have
seen, are in fair condition of health,
and from cheerful greeting to myself
and inquiries about friends indicate
improvement in their mental condi-
ton. Upon my return / found quite
number of interesting letters await
ing me from persons formerly inmat-
es who were under my charge, whilst
patients. Now occupying positions
of trust and employment in various
parts Of our grand country. One a
young man in San Diego, California,
who one year ago, from his greatner

friends in Wood county is now in
service and receiving FIVE dollars per.

feeling toward officers and attendants
who aided him whilst in his distress
is worthy of the man ahd grateful to
any who rendered him service, even

the treatment and kindness toward

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CTOCkHolp.

BALTIMORE, Mp, November l5.-
The annual meeting OF the stocahold-
ers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company was held to-day, Reverdy
johnson, Jr., in the chair. The re-
port Of President Garrett was presen-
ted showing the receips OF the main
stem for the past year to have been
$9,856,6 1913, and the expenses so ,026,
365, or $5,237,714, less than the
earnings. The cost Of operating the
road 59.1n per cent upon the
earnings. The whale value Of the
sinking funds is stated at $718,739.
The Washington branch earnings
were $325,320, and the expenses,
$90,815, showing net earnings OF
1924 ,505. The earnings of all the
branches including Washington,
were $18,422, 1876, and the expenses
$12 ,035,742, leaving net balance of
$6,3S6,694.
Speaking of the Philadeiphia
branch the President says: The
line between Baltimore and Philadel-
phia was opened for passengers and
freight traffic on tho 10th ultimo.
The road is strictly FIRST class being
laid with steel rails and stone bal
lasted. Commodious passengers
stations and freight warehouses have
been erected at many points. The
work on this part OF the route has
necessarily been difficult and tedious
but it's completion is anticipated in
the month Of December when pas
seugers from New York viii be car
carried with out change Of cars to
Baltimore Washington and all points
on the system of the Baltimore and
Ohio Company. The Delaware
branch Railroad extending from o
point on the line OF the Schuylkill
River East Side Railroad is also
nearing completion. BY this branch
the principal docks Of the large manu-
| factoring establishments on the Della
ware river will be reached
"Of the telegraph he says: "The
increase in the earnings OF the Bal
timore and Ohio Telegraph Company
for the fiscal year ended September
80, has been 172 per cent compared
with 1884, and Alps per cent com.
pared with 1885 In the midst of
acute competition the large and in
creasing patronage thus commanded
demonstrates the strength of the
company and the value and efficiency
of its service. The fact that the Tel
egraph Company in addition to its
value in facilitating the varied bust
ness opertions Of the railroa com
pany has not paid only to that COM
pany the agreed annual rental for
the use of the wires on its railroad
not needed for railroad purposes but
has also shown a satisfactory net
