MODERN OFFICE BUILDING
Is One of the Things which should be
Numbered Among the improvements
Booked for Martinsburg.

An eight story office building is to
be erected i'll Fairmont.
This action of that growing town
10 the western part OF the State brings
to the mind the fact that modern
office building Is among the things
most needed in Martinsburg at pres
ent and should one be erected IN the
central portion of the business sec
tirn Of the city it would doubtless
paw the investors. This is about the
most accessible city in the valley.
centrally located and within easy
reach of large number OF cities and
towns Ii isa well known fact that
several firiis which wonld have occu'
pied several large rooms have recently
been prevented from locating here on
account % the lack of accommodate
tions. The most recent WAS he New
York Life Insurance Company, which
had selected Martnsbburg as its main
valley office and at thestart would have
employed half dozen hands; bur the
company located its office in Cumber-
land for the sole reason that suitable
Office rooms could not be secured III
MartiDsburg.
There has been some talk OF buy
ing one of the corners on Queen street
and erecting O large department store
and Office buildlnge in the place OF
the ancient buildings which now oc-
cupy the ground. Such move would
supply one Of Martinsburg greatest
needs and would without doubt meet
with success.

which said his books Were under ex-
animation by expert accountants
Stuart X. Young, city treasurer OF
Louisville, last evening went to the
rear of warehouse at Sixth and Mel
son streets and committed suicide by
shooting himself behind the right ear

A great sensation was created late In

an evening paper appeared with sto-
ry in substance that accountants We're
at work ON the books of the retiring
city treasurer, Stuart X. Young and
that it was reported that discrepan-
cies had been found In his accounts.
Immediately the friends of Mr.. Young
began to look for him, not believing
the reports.
Shortly after 6 p. m. Mr. Young was
seen at the ladies' entrance of the Lou
isville hotel ON Main street. where he
lived with his bride of a few months.
Two newsboys who knew Mr. Young
walked up and said: mr.. Young, don't
you want paper? It's got your pic
trfre in it,
One glance at the double column
headlines told Mr.. Young why the pa
per had printed double column pic

Young turned off between some box
cars. The boys feared to follow him
any farther and, returning to the

whose carriage stand is in front of the
hotel. Johnson was acquainted with
Young and. following the direction Civ
en- by the newsboys. finally found Mr.
! Young lying face downward in the Gill
ders. his right arm under him. Seeing
bullet hole behind Mr.. Young's right
ear, johnson turned the body over.
Then he saw pistol in Mr.. Young $
right hand. Life was extinct.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
A Headon Collision on the
Wabash Railroad.
CARLOADS y EAICRABTS KILLED.
Wreck Caused By hg
of Orders Near Seneca, Mich, L.
Thought to Have Resulted In
the Death of 100 Persons.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 2S.-One OF
the most disastrous wrecks in the his
tory of the Wabash railroad or any
other Michigan railroad occurred at
Seneca, Mich, a small way station
about seventy miles southwest of De-
troit, last night.
Train No. ID, an emigrant train. with
two engines, westbound, collided under
a full head of steam with train No. 4.
eastbound, about one mile from Seneca.
The result was that five or six coaches
on the emigrant train were crushed
and its load Of human freight sent into
eternity in a moment, while one coach
on train No. A. which consisted of Il
parlor car, diner and a baggage car,
was also telescoped, and four dead
bodies have been taken from the ruins.
1t is not known how many people
there were on the emigrant train, but
the death list will be anywhere from
sixty to 100.
The people on that train were caught
instantly and crushed. Then the wreck
caught fire, and those who were not
instantly killed were slowly roasted to
death, and none of the few spectators
who hastily gathered from the farm
houses near by was able to afford aid.
The whole emigrant train was soon
consumed by the flames, and every per-
son on that train, it is reported now,
was killed Farmers residing along
the track rushed in on the blazing mass
to rescue those whom they thought
might be alive. The bodies hauled out
of the wreck were taken to nearby
farmhouses, which are filed with dead,
and large number of injured were
taken to hospital at Peru, Ind.
Along the track long lines of burned
bodies lie covered with blankets, pre-
senting a grewsome sight. 1t may be
possible that the exact number of kill
ed or who they are will never be
known. At present it is impossible to
get anything resembling a list of in
jured or dead from Seneca.
1t is said here that the accident was
the result of misunderstanding of or
ders. II is reported in Seneca that No.
A should have waited at Seneca station
and No. Ii should have taken the sid
ing This was not done. Then the
crash came.
The net result is that one whole train.
No. Is. is burned, the engines complete
wrecks on both trains and on No. the
, coach between the diner and the bag
gage car is crushed into kindling wood.

mors of startling nature which threw
new lign, on the alleged accidental
killing of white hunters through reck-
less shooting on the part of their COM
panions have reached this city. 1t is
now alleged that in several instances
Indians have Intentionally shot the
men down. The invasion this fall by
thousands of sportslnen has resulted in
a wholesale slaughter of deer at the
very door of the Indian wigwam. This
is said to have driven the red men wild
with jealousy. Half civilized Indians
have informed old time hunters that
the only way to rid the pineries of city
sportsimen is to sc;'re them out by
means of sending q few stray bullets
here and there VIII rover the hunter
happened to be lyin4 in wait.
