ANDREW BERTRAM, was tried in
the Circuit Court at Martinsburg
Monday for feloniously burning his
fathers residence. The woman in
the case was a daughterin-law. The
two men had quarreled with the
woman, whom they subsequently
sent off to friends. To prevent her
return, the father made the son the
tempting offer of support for life
and all he could drink, if he would
burn the house. The inducements
were more than the son and misused
husband could resist. The jury
brought in a verdict of acQuittal.

AN ElGHT.HOUR DAY GOES,
Judge Adams Overrules objections to the
Thirtieth Street Improvement.

Judge Adams today announced his
decision oyerruling all legal objections
instituted against the ordinance for
the improvement of Thirtieth street
before the county court for con.irms-
ton. c. NJ. Osborn, of Chicago, him
self property holder on the street,
and representing a number of others,
filed objections to the validity of
the ordinance, particularly attack
ing the claim providing for an S-hour
work day. Arguments were made a
week ago, City Attorney Marshall
backing the ordinance. Mr.. Marshall
contended before the council that this
clause would not in his opinion, in
validate the ordinance, taking a di-
rectly opposite position to his prede-
cessor. and he naturally feels jubilant
over being sustained by the court.
A jury will decide the benefits of
the improvement next week, and the
work will be commenced and pushed
to completion this season.
