Bakerton Notes.

The Washington Building Lime Co.
are still making Improvements at this
place TO supply their growing trade. AT
present they are building large co7per
shop in addition TO the one they now
have, and if there are any apples this
fall we think the shippers can be sup
piled here The new plant or the Dan
iels property is running full force under
the management of Mr.. W. II. Link,
who can tell you what good lime is, as
that is the only kind he burns. Mr.. d.
r. Houser, the general manager, has
his hands full TO look after all the works,
but he can tell you good yarn between
times.
The company built at this place this
spring ten new houses, which are filed
with men that work here. so increasing
the size Of our little village, and who
knows but what some day Bakerton
will be a large town.
Thomas Hopewell, Of Shepherdstown,
has opened a barber shop over Moler
Bros. store, and Tom will give you a
good, easy shave at any time.
The public school closed last week
with a big picnic, which was enjoyed
by the little ones and some OF the large
ones. too Miss Hoffman, the prlncl-
pal. returned TO her home in Shepherds
town. very much to the regret Of her
many friends in this place.
And still the weddings 20 OF, and we
think Bakerton is furnishing lis share
of those who do not think marriage is
a failure Let the good work continue
but il is wrong to let some Of the boys
fall so hard, they should have some
warning at least.
Mr.. Wilbert Kidwiler, who is work

The Case of Sergeant Maddox.

Considerable interest has been Gre
ated in Shepherdstown and in the
county the past week on account OF
matters concerning the corporation OF
Shepherdstown, the Trust Company
of West Virginia, and John F. Mad
dex, the town sergeant. It is one OF
the duties of the town sergeant to col
let the corporation taxes. For this
reason he has to give bond, and the
Trust Company above named fur
nished the bond that Mr.. Maddox
gave to the town. A few weeks ago
when the new council went into office
committee was appointed to settle
with Mr.. Maddox, and it was dlscov-
cred that he was short of cash to the
amount of 1888. This discrepancy
seemed to be as much of surprise to
Mr.. Maddox as it was to the commit
tee, and it was at first thought there
must be some mistake. The figures
seemed to be correct, however, and
the town authorities notified the bond
ing company. w. G. Wilson, the
manager, came on and investigated
the affair and States Attorney James
NJ. Mason came over from Charles
Town. Mr.. Maddox was unable to
raise the amount of shortage at once
and asked for time to make it good.
Mr.. Wilson, however, swore out a
warrant for his arrest before a Charles
Town magistrate. A preliminary hear
ing was held Thursday afternoon
before Magistrate Lee H. Moler, OF
this place, G. NJ. BeltzhoOver appear
ing for the prisoner and j. NJ. Mason,
Jr., for the State. The hearing was
adjourned until Friday morning, when
Forrest W. Brown, of Charles Town,
appeared with Mr.. Beethoven to as
sist in the defense. The original
warrant was squashed, whereupOn an
other warrant was sworn out by l..
W. Pofinberger, member Of the
town council and its treasurer At
the hearing on this warrant before
Justice Moler the defense contended
that there was no crime in intent or
in fact, as Sergeant Maddexs books
showed his accounts to be correct IN
every particular, and that no attempt
at concealment or fraud could be
shown. The shortage was Admitted,
but this was not a felony in view Of
the fact that his accounts were
straight. After hearing the evidence
and arguments Justice Moler dis
missed the case.
Almost Immediately Maddox was
again arrested on another warrant
that had been sworn out by Manager
Wilson before Justice Gallaher, Of
Charles Town. The charge was the
same, and there was protest against
forcing another hearing before a diff
ferent magistrate on the same ques-
ton. Mr.. Maddox gave bond for his
appearance, however, and the hearing
was fixed for Tuesday morning before
Justice Gallaher. Messrs. Beltzhoover
and Brown again appeared for him,
Prosecuting Attorney Mason repre-
senting the State. Justice Gallaher
took precisely the same view that
Justice Moler held, and dismissed the
case, releasing Mr.. Maddox from
custody. The latter expects to be able
to make good his deficiency within
reasonable time, and his friends hope
that the affair may quickly be straight
ened out.
