He watched the little figure in pink

THE RAILROADS,

The improvements on the main line
OF the Baltimore & Ohio between Mar
tinsburg and North Mountain, were
completed November l. They cover a
distance OF nearly four miles, starting
three miles west OF MartInsburg, and
extending some distance west OF Myers
Hole, which Is near the North Noun
tain station, At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ
jectionable curvature, and,the road-bed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating
two grades OF forty-two feet per mile,
which came together at Myers Hole,
and substituting therefor an almost
level trdck. This point on the road
has always been a dangerous one and
many freight wrecks alVe occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature OF two sharp
down grades coming together, as was
the case In this instance, the saving in
operation OF the road by the change
win be very large, as It enables the
tons per train to be greatly Increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
the minimum, At Tablers the road
bed has been lowered about thirteen
feet and the same at Tabbs, besides
taking out Objectionable curvature and
reducing the rate OF grades at these
points from forty-two feet per mile 90
ten feet per mile, thus increasing the
cars that can be hauled per train.
Though these improvements have cost
quite a sum OF money, the expenditure
is fully justified by the great saving In
operation.

THE JuRY's VERDICT,
Guilty of Murder in the First Degree
Life Imprisonment,

Guilty of Murder in the First Degree.
Life Imprisonment.
The jury got the case of James Edward
Jones (colored), at about 2:45 p, M, and
was out only one hour when they came
back at exactly 1890, with verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree and
further that Jones was to be punished by
confinement in the penitenuary.
Before the verdict was read by the
clerk, the Judge ordered the sheriff to
place his deputies through the large au-
dience present in the court room and for
them to prevent any expression OF salts
faction or dissatisfaction with the YER
diet
The counsel for the defense announced
to the court after the verdict that they
would not make motion for a new trial
and that the prisoner could be sentenced
at once The murerer was then caused to
stand, facing the court, while the judge
explained 10 him what the jury had done
and asked him II he had anything 10
say why such a sentence should not be
pronounced.
The boy stood calm and unmoved as he
had been through the trial and without a
twinge OF a muscle or movement OF any
part of the body, he received the SEN
tence of confinement IN the state peni-
Tertiary for the period of his natural life.
He win be taken to the penltenuary
this morning.
The verdict of the Jury seemed to sat
isfy all right thinking people, A few
more hotheaded think the boy ought to
have been hanged.
