The future is full Of possibilities
for Bei kelley. Daniel Cornelius is
going to take possession of the Bath
Squsre-that much is certain. He
may be enJoined. If he is the courts
will decide the matter. 1t is not a
remote contingency that in the at
tempt to GUST Cornelius too much
may be proved and the cobwebs of
fancy which time has thrown around
the Bath Square grant be wiped
away ard it be clearly shown there
is to-day no legally constituted
board of trustees. In that event the
property would revert to the heirs of
Fairfax, and thus would be accom-
plished what the vast majority of
our people want-the development
of tbs property either by the Cor
nelius Company, the heirs, or by
some purchaser. In any event Ber-
kelley stands to win.

HOME lNTRREsTs-OUR TOWN.

Now that the sun wakens the
world early in the morning, and the
chirp of the little birds makes melo-
dy in the air, it behooves us to look
after re ,urr5ction in material home
interests. Business men have been
hard pushed on account Of financial
stringency, and credit has been be-
low par, even with good men, by
reason of unnecessary, unreasonable
AID really slAnderous talk by people
who are not the peers Of the workers.
Fortunately, the town has survived
this and the crows are on the fence.
Looking farther forward TO home in
terests, our factories are intact and
the prices recently paid for proper
ty on Queen street show an appre-
citation of value that is remarkable
and will 8 tand com par
ison with any neighboring town.
The B. & o. Il. r. Co. have recent
ly enlarged the amount of payment
and time of work at the shops here
and TIE indications are, that the pay
day for-labor will increase at this
place. We understand there is plen-
ty OF work in the shops here and the
completion of the tunnel at Balti-
more, decreases the necessity of such
a yard as they have at Brunswick.
The outlook is, that we will have a
large volume OF business with pos
sibility of a return of the old rela-
tions with the B. & o. Co. and its
work. The B. & O. never did as
much business at Brunswick as it
did at Martinsburg--the cost ie in
creased and there is no necessity for
it, and there is no reason why the
return should not be made to Mar
tinsburg.
