B. & o. at GraftOn.

1t is stated on good authority that
from 100000 to $1,000,000 will be
spent by the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road company at Grafton, W. Va,
the terminus of four divisions of that
line. This is necessary because of the
Importance of the terminal and the
fact that owing to the present condi-
ton of the yards it is almost impossi-
BILE to handle the freight with any
sort of dispatch. The traffic has in
creased 100 cars day since last sum-
mer and now on the average $500 cars
are handled daily at Grafton. A num-
Der of Baltimore and Ohio officials
visited Grafton few days ago and it
was decided to put in four miles of
additional track which will give facil-
tiles for handling 1000 cars in "a
hours instead of $500 as now. The
improvements contemplated also in
clude $685. 900 depot and the remoy-
al of the shops to more convenient
and commodious location. The COM
pany can secure the fair grounds, it
is said for this purpose, OF they can
move to their 65-acre tract below the
city.

A STRANGE CASE.
Bitten BY Dog Seven Years Ago and Now
She is Raving Mad.

SnS ID NdVing WaQ.
In a letter received at this office a
few days ago information concerning
very strange case of hydrophobia
was impaired.
The victim is daughter of Mr.
David Merrill, who resides along Saw
age River in this county, near Iona
coming. Seven years ago the girl was
bitten by dog while the latter was
having fit. The wound soon healed
and no trouble was experienced from
1t until Tuesday last, when hydro
phobia developed in a most violent
form, having taken five strong men
to hold her.
Saturday the girl was locked up in
room, but managed to escape bv
jumping out through window. She
was finally returned to the house and
a physician summoned, who man
aged to quiet the poor girl by admin
istering anasthetics.
While one of the women living in
the neighborhood was assisting in
holding the girl the latter scratched
the woman on the hand until the
blood rain. She is now almost fright
ened to death for fear that she too
will become mad.
The dog which bit the girl was a
valuable one and was traded to Lewis
Broadwater, of near Grantsville. who
last fall traded the dog to some one in
Frostburg. The dog is said to be still
living.

ANOTHER SCHEME.
How Census Takers May Aid in Partisan
biSfranchiSement.


bisfranchiSement.
The Republican State leaders have
discovered Democratic scheme to
disfranchise Republican voters by
the new State census enumeration, as
well as by the German election law
just enacted by the Democratic legis-
lature in the extra session.
The new election law requires
voters living out of the State to re-
turn within thirty days after the
passage of the law and make affidavit
that they intend to keep their home
at the place from which they remov-
ed" and also that they will actual
ly take up their residence at that
place on or before MAY LIST next
The census law provides that the
enumerators shall return the names
of all regular registered voters who
cannot be found in their respective
precincts.
1t is plain that the partisan enum-
orator could easily find all Democrats
at home on May /, actually living
there, while Republican might not
have taken up his actual domicile I'M
less he was sitting on his own front
doorstep. The effect of this plan will
operate harshly against the Republi-
can party on the Eastern Shore and
in southern and western Maryland.
Every Republican now without the
State who can be reached will be
brought to his home, so as to be on
hand when the enumerator calls.
