RAILROAD NEWS.
Matters From Here and There Concerning the
Great Corporations.

The trunk lines have at last come
to the conclusion that it will pay them
to offer inducements TO people to 90
to see the Worlds Fair, and they have
accordingly determined TO make one
fare excursion rates to Chicago on
certain trains and under certain con-
ditions. 1t was finally agreed that
special trains composed only of day
coaches will be run to Chicago on a
sch edule of not less than thirty hours
at the rate of one limited fare for the
round trip by the route travelled. Tick
cts are to have a return limit of ten
days, and are not to be good in sleep
| ing. parlor and chair cars and no stop
over is to be permitted in either di-
rection. Tickets are TO be sold to chill
dren between five and twelve years of
age at 70 per cent of the one-way rate.
Baggage checked upon tickets is con
fined to 100 pounds personal baggage
only. Two excursions will be run on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Saturdays Of each week, to be alter
mated by the several lines with the
dates to be assigned by the commits
sioners. The dates assigned to the b.
& O. are July "a, August 4, and -.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is
preparing to put all its tracks in bet
ter condition than ever before. New
rails, new ties and new ballast will be
laid, short curves heightened and i'm
provements generally made. The Ba-
ker Bros. have contracted for great
quantities of ballast. Two stone
crushers have been set up on the
third division and two others will be
placed on the Wheeling branch. The
crusher at kearneysville has been
running at full blast, and Baker Bros.
have recently purchased and put in
use a large number of new cars built
especially to handle the stone ballast.
For some time past it has been ru
mored that Mr.. J. 7. Odell the popu-
lar general manager of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, was about TO re-
sign that position, owing to differ
ences Of opinion with Vice-President
King. The rumor is revived and gen
orally credited among railroad men.
Mr.. Odell is at Chicago taking in the
fair, and it is said his resignation will
take effect August LIST. Mr.. Odell is
one of the best railroad men in Amer
lea, and the Baltimore and Ohio IS
said to be very 10th to lose his ser
vices, but he insists upon going
Curtis Martin brakeman on the
third division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, shot himself through
the heart on Monday at his boarding
house at Grafton. He had only been
married one week and was u well
educated and intelligent man. Let
ters left to his sister and wife showed
that the deed had been contemplated
several days. Financial difficulties
are assigned as the cause.
The b. & O. Railroad hes found it
necessary to put on another passen-
ger train from Baltimore to Chicago.
The new train made its first trip last
Sunday. 1t leaves Baltimore at 100
p. H., and goes by the Pittsburg
route.
Reading, smoking and bathrooms
have been fitted up in the new Nor
folk and Western and Cumberland
Valley transfer building in Hagers-
town for the comfort Of employees.

Ananue TO Mornnn's Grove.

As Morgan's Grove is becoming
more popular and to some extent the
only available resort now for picnlcs
and social gatherings, and as the
Morgan's Grove fair i becoming from
year 10 year more firmly established,
and as the period for it next eXhibi-
ton is now fast approaching, increaS-
ing public interest in the grove sug-
gests the thought of an effort TO make
it more easily accessible by q direct
route thereto. \ material step in
this direction has been taken within
the last year, in the laying out Of
Trussells Addition and the openin E
up of Princess street two squares
south of town toward the grove. y
personal inspection OF the LAY OF the
land" from the present terminus OF
said street will readily show how
short, easy grade and practicable
a route can be made available by
simply continuing this street or an
avenue therefrom direct TO the grove.
This would be an Improvement con
tributing greatly not only 10 public
convenience but 10 the appearance
of that section, and thus 10 a more
favorable impression upon strangers
passing along on the railroad. 1t
would bring Morgan's Grove, by the
shorter and easier route, practically
nearer town and thus enhance its
value aud enjoyment and at the same
time would open up and make aces
sible property along the way that
would amply compensate the owners
thereof
Think over, take hold Of, and let Us
have the avenue for Use at the
coming exhibition.

Their Cruelty Cost Them S2t.45.


Two men from MartinsburS came
down to Shepherdstown Tuesday at
ternoon in a buggy drawn by II nice
looking sorrel horse. BY making the
time between drinks very short they
quickly managed to get quite drunk.
Then they amused themselves by
driving the already weary horse
around the town, beating it cruelty
when it could no longer travel fast
enough to suit them Their brutal
ty to the poor animal finally caused
their arrest by Sergeant johnson.
The men were placed in Jail and the
horse put in livery stable. Later
Mayor Ray very properly taxed them
each ten dollars and costs, and when
they had forked over S2l.4jthey were
released. They quickly started for
home, one of them weeping bitterl y
at his unfortunate experience.

He Had to Drop.

Mr.. Melvin Ronemous met with q
painful accident last week. He was
doing some carpenter work in Mr.. E.
II. Remnants barn, below town, when
a rope broke with him and he lost his
footing. He hung on to the rope,
however, and shouted for the other
men to quickly bring a ladder. Real
izing the fact that he was % feet
above the floor he did his very best
to hang on, but the ladder was some
distance away and very heavy, with
only two men to handle it, and it
took some time to get it to him. Mr..
Ronemous kept his grip as long as he
could, but just second before the
ladder was placed within his reach lie
had to drop. The ladder was so near
that it partly broke his fall, and ne
escaped without any broken bones.
His foot was severely sprained and he
was much bruised, but he's thankful
it was no worse.

strange death last week. 1t was at

away the flies it became entangle in

entwined themselves around the an

it and choke it. The next morning II
was found hanging in a network OF
the grape vines, stiff in death.

1t Makes an AwfuI NOISE.


One of the factories at Martinsburg
has been fitted up with an enormous
steam whistle which, by series Of
blasts in the morning, indicates the
sort Of weather predicted for the day.
1t is supposed to be of benefit to the
farmers particularly, and in order
that it may take in wide scope the
whistle is about as loud as they make
them. 1t certainly fills the bill, for it
can be distinctly heard in Shepherds
town, ten miles away. We don't
blame the Statesman for raising a rum
pus about it, for if it may be heard in
Shepherdstown its roar in Martins
burg must be simply awful.

ers regarding the geography of the CITY

TX firmly in your mind the fact that

stand facing the lake with beth arms
outstretched, the lett hand will point to
the North Pole and the right hand viii
point straight down the tracks of the
Big Four Route to the Worlds Far

OF the city. Paste this in your hat and
you nave the key to the entiresituation.

Big -Four Route, which is the only rail.
ro9d having an entrance on the south
sue along the lake front, where all the
hotels aud boarding houses are located,
you VIII ma yourself passing practically
magnificent panoramic view of the Fair

AT the Worlds Fair Station Of the
Big -Four Route, if You step off nj the
right side, you are at the entrance cate ate
=. 70 the Exposition and can begin doing

lett side, you will find yourself in the

hyou prefer to go down town. ten
minutes ride will bring Won to the new
Twelfth Street Station In the heart ~
the city. Now bear in mind the mani.
i le advantage OF entering Chicago on
the big -Four Route. In the first place
you avoid entirely the bother and
trouble OF tedious transfer across the
city, which is necessary via ali other
lines, being landed directly at the Ex-
posiuon Grounds. an advantage offered
py no other line; and in the second
place you can so fix the geography cf
a ene CITY IN your mind that you viii at
once become as familiar with Chicago

Another point in favor OF the Rio

you enter Cincinnati on the Oneen x
