INJuRIUos ERROR.


Martinsburg is in sad plight, 50
TO speak. The failure of the bond
bills places the town in the position
OF having to repair the old pumps at
the water works, which expense
would be a practical waste OF money.
And there seems to be no means by
which to obtain money to legally
purchase new pumps, the bonds that
would have provided for them hav.
ing been turned down by the festive
voter.-State Journal.
The above is possibly, an uninten-
tional error, but nevertheless, is a
very injurious one. There has not
been any vote on the issue of bonds
and therefore, no such project has
been turned down by the voter. The
water works, under the competent
and experienced engineer, still sends
volumes of water, thrilling through
streets and into the houses of Mar
t.nsburg, and will continue to do SO,
regardless of the do less recent leg
islature. The voters and the people
here are all right.

An Innovation in Sleeping Car Service
introduced by the
BAL TiMoRE & OHIO RAILROAD.

Commencing Monday, February
18th, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
will introduce new feature in its
Sleeping Car Service, between Balt,-
more and Newark, Ohio. inaugural.
Ing what will be known az Che
sOrdinary' Sleeping Cars, in addi-
tion to the regular Standard Sleep
ing Cars. One of these cars will be
attached to Train No. Z, leaving

Ia Newark 1922 a. m. next day. re-
turning on Train No. 8, leaving New
ark $50 p. m and arriving 10 Balti-
more 1858 p. m. next day.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
is the first line to introduce this SER
vice in the eastern territory for
special accommodation of the travel
ing public. In theses Ordinary"Sleep-
ers the Pullman rate is reduced one
half, so that passengers have. the
choice of paying the higher Pullman
rate and occupying Standard Car or
take advantage of the cheaper rate
and occupying the "Ordinary" Sleep
er.
These cars are new, have been es-
pecially constructed for this service,
and differ from the Standard Sleep
ing Cars only in being less elabor-
ately furnished. The seats are up
holstered in rattan, and the sleeping
berths, when made up, have all the
comforts and conveniences of the
Standard Cars.
Z Tickets will be on sale at regular

Boats in Charleston Streets,

Charleston w Va, March. -.
The night was one Of discomfort
and actual suffering. The slow fall
ing OF the water, added to the lower
lempature, made tho situation u
gloomy one.
Many business men were compell-
ed to use boats to seek provisions
and fuel. Even the Governor WAS
forced to use a boat to go from the
Executive Mansion to his Office IN
The State House.
Much drunkenness and disorder
prevailed. The loss to timberman
up Elk river will be heavy. That
river traverses tie heaviest logging
district in the State.
Immense RATS are torn loose and
90 rushing down into the Kanawa,
sometimes doing heavy damage to
coal docks, barges and tipples. The
Wintfrede coal docks are gone, with
several barges, and an expensive
lipple between East Bank and Bel
mont has been swept away.

A SERIOUS MATTER.

Water is en- imperative requisite,
not only in towns, but, to the human
system. Martinsburg has been bless
cd with a plentiful supply, through
the very economical and worthy sys-
tenn, that has blessed the people for
years. 1t is self sustaining, practi-
cally, and has, so far as machinery
is concerned, been of no .considera-
bic expense. But time wears on the
machinery, want of funds, for one
reason or another, has prevented
any renewal of the original outfit.
Water consumption has increased
and the mechanism has been wear
ing out. What are we to do? Higg-
ing and qusrreling about the legis-
lature not passing this or the other
bond bill, brings not help. To do,
is the issue. The engineer in charge
knows every motion and the tensile,
strength of every fibre of the ma
chinery and all know he has kept it,
by good attention, strong in its Old
age. Now, we are sure that one or
two thousand dollars will make the
pumping machinery all right and
the concensus ofopinion must surely
be, that it should be accomplished.
No necessity Of waiting,-no neces-
sity of talking OF lost bonds or mis-
applied ones. Do the work and do
it at once, without jobbery or ex-
cessive CAB.

THE COURT HOUSE.

The project to improve the Court
House and give to the records of
the county, security against destruc.
ton, is eliciting considerable dis
cusslon, pro and con. Those OPP
posing, demand the expenditure of
the money in improving, the county
roads. There is no reason why
both should not be done, and no
good reason why both have not
been done. But. little money has
been expended on the Court House
in the past thirty years, and in the
same space of time, thousands of
dollars have been wasted in patch
ing the roads. Just now, brevet is
almost impossible, but man cannot
stay the coming of the storms, nor
always stand up against their on
slaught and I'M aries. Cities were
isolated, great railroads stilled,
streams and rivers made impossible,
the waters of the deep stirred, ves-
sells and lives lost, and inunda.
tioDs at many places. Such, is the
record generally, and the present
condition of accommodations and
facilities is not confined to this
county. If this improvement can
be made for $4,000, do it. If it
cannot, and the vaults alone can be
built for 81 900 or more, do it. The
money will be well invested, and
there isn't county road, a farm or
q town lot, a contract or debt, but
will be the better of it, The rec
ords of the County Clerks Office
alone, cannot be replaced for hun.
dreds of thousands OF dollars. There
are the marriages, births, titles, as
sessments, liens, all, everything, of
value, almost incomputsble-not to
be measured by $4,000. The same
is true, in another sense of the Cir
cult Court Clerks office. The
State will build an annex TO the
Capitol building, for the preserva.
ton of public records, at cost Of
100000 As self preservation is the
first Law OF nature, ibis proposition
is practically, 3 measure q pce5erve
