MARTINS FERRY.
Accidents and Incidents in that Thriving
City-Personnl and Industrial.


One might think that policeman
made big money in Martins Ferry, judy
ing from the way many men are hust-
ling for appointment. The salary is
only $40 so per week for seven days, or
81 80 per day, with fec OF GO cents on
each arrest. Each policeman is al
lowed so per year to purchase uni
forms. The members OF the day force
are often on duty until midnight. The
members OF the night force get up about
noon and are ON duty when on their
feet. 1t is common thing for the blue
coats to be on duty fifteen and twenty
hours for days work. The present
police force is good one. Said west
ern gentleman to the writer the other
day: 81 do not know your chief or any
ofthe police but they are all clean and
gentlcmanly looking men and look like
temperate men. II they are MS good as
they look, they are all fright" This is
from n. gentleman who has been around,
and is high complement.
