London. Dec. "A sensation has been
stirred up III London society by the news
that the suit for divorce brought by
Captain Albert Carstairs. formerly OF the
Royal Irish Rifles, against his wife. who
was Miss Fanny Bostwlck. daughter OF
the late Jabez A. Bostwick. the STANDARD
oil magnate. has been transferred from
the list OF defended to that Of undefended
actions
II Is rumored that when the case comes
up on Wednesday the accusation of i'm
propriety will be admitted and on formal
testimony a decree nisi will be granted.
Francis Francis. playwright, we'll known
I'm London society and son OF a wealthy
London publisher, was named by Captain
Carstairs as correspondent.
DECREE MAY NOT BE ABSOLUTE.
Interest in the case has been heightened
by rumors that the decree may not be
absoutey the courts regarding new de-
velopments as savoring of collusion. IL
Is even said that the king proctor may
intervene TO prevent the divorce from be-
ing made absolute These reports have
followed new phases OF the case which
have constantly cropped out since the
tain Carstairs
IL was In 1901 that he went 10 South
Africa and during his absence his wife
made the acquaintance OF Francis Fran
els at Homburg. The filing of papers in
a suit for divorce quickly followed Cap
tain Carstair's return from the war. He
originally claimed 5000 damages as an
additional issue TO the divorce suit
Captain Carstairs Is not a man OF
means and II Is said that he resigned his
commission in the army at the request of
his wife She not only had large
dowry but inherited several millions at
the division of the Bostwick estate.
Both Mrs. Carstairs and Francis en-
tered a defence to the suit for s2oOuOO
damages. This suit was mysteriously
withdrawn and coincdent with this ac-
tion was the withdrawal OF the defence of
Mrs. Carstairs and Francis. Captain
Carstars was permitted TO proceed with
out opposition in his effort TO obtain a
divorce.

Our Electric Light Plant Accepted.

The town council Tuesday night
formally accepted from the Jacob
G.. Schaf Company the electric light
plant established for the corporation
of Shepherdstown, and made final set
Element with the contractors. There
were some differences, but these were
all amicably adjusted without serious
difficulty, and both sides were satisfied.
We have an electric lighting sys-
tenn of which the town should be very
proud. While small, it is sufficient
for the present needs. The engine,
boiler and dynamo are of 6rst-class
standard makes, the line is well-con-
structed of the best material, and the
lamps are excellent-the whole result
ing in system of lighting that is en-
lnently satisfactory. The streets are
lighted with FIVE arc and 50 incandes-
cent lights, and every part Of the
town is well lighted. They burn
steadily and brilliantly and are all
that could be desired. The lights for
business places and residences are fine.
1t has been remarked frequently by
visitors from other places that they
are exceptionally good-really much
better than the average in cities and
towns.
The problem now is to make the in
vestment paying one to the corpora
ton, and our people have the solution
in their own hands. We have no
doubt that the incoming council will
manage the plant judiciously and eco
nomically, for this is an absolute ne
cessity on their part. 1t is then up
to the business men and citizens gen.
orally to do their part by subscribing
literally for the lights and pstroniz-
ing the project extensively.
If the people do their duty in this
respect the revenues will be ample to
pay expenses, provide for the sinking
fund and perhaps give revenue be-
sides. If it is not well patronized the
deficit will have to be met by in
creased taxation. Those who have
installed the lights are thoroughly
pleased with them, and they will I'M
doubtedly prove satisfactory to every
body.
We must commend the Jacob G.
Schaf Co. for the excellence of the ma
chinery, materials and workmanship
that they have given the town. Ed
ward N. Beebe was the superintend-
ent in charge of construction, and he
did his work well. Jacob G. Schaff,
the head of the company, carried out
his contract to the letter, and in the
settlement his business ability and his
fair dealing won him the respect of
those associated with him.
The engineer in charge Of the i'm
provement on the part Of the town was
c. E. Hewes, of Hagerstown. His work
was entirely satisfactory to the coun-
ell that employed him, and his SER
vices all that could be expected. He
has given ii as his opinion that our
plant is thoroughly excellent one in
every respect.

OUR New Railroad.

Uur new hallIU2u.
The indications continue to increase
that the main line of tbs Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad will soon pass through
Shepherdstown. AS we have hereto
fore stated, the proposed new route
begins near Cherry Run and extends
to point near Tabb's Station, a dis
lance of about nine miles, Here it
again strikes the main line, but soon
leaves it and heads for Shepherdstown,
thence to the connection with the main
line a mile this side of Harper Ferry.
Orders have been issued, it is said,
from B. & 0. headquarters to begin
work at once on the construction Of
the first section, that from Cherry
Run to Tabb's. From Cherry Run
the road now crosses the lower end of
North Mountain, causing a heavy
grade both ways. The new road will
continue the route down the river
from Cherry Run, running upon a
bench on the mountain side around
the end of the mountain to the viclnl-
ty of Little Georgetown, where 1t
turns to the right, coming back to the
old roadbed near Tabb's Station, about
FIVE miles west CT Martinsburg. Col.
J. A. Hunter, real estate agent for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is now
looking up the right of way for the
cutoff between those two points. With
the assistance of the railroad company
local attorney, he is busy examining
the records in the Berkeley county
clerks office, and as soon as the right
of way is secured the actual work of
building the railroad will be COM
msnced. While the actual orders for
the construction of the Shepherdstown
section have not yet been issued, it is
asserted that they will soon follow,
and that the work will begin this sum-
mer. By the building of this cutoff
the last heavy grade between the
mountains and the seaboard will be
eliminated. 1t is said that the strong
est grade on the proposed line is just
east of the Opequon creek, and there
it is but three-tenths of one per cent.
1t is fondly hoped in Martinsburg'
and so stated, that the cutoff will be
for the use of freight trains only. 1t
is not likely, however, that smooth
straight track without grades will be
neglected by fast express trains for q
roadbed with heavy grades each way
A road that is good for the easy hand
ling of freight trains will be still mora
desirable for the swift moving OF pas
senger trains.

The Town Goes Wet.

The annual corporation election was
held Monday in Shepherdstown, and
resulted ina victory for the advocates
of license for liquor saloons by ma
iorlty of fourteen, the vote standing
125 to Ill. The Peoples Tickle"
was elected by large majority, every
candidate on the Business Mems Tick
ct, which was in part composed of the
members of the old council, being de-
feated. The following are the town
officers elected:
Mayor-B. F. Harrison.
Recorder-George W. Billmyer.
Councilmen-J. W. B. Frazier, L.

shans.
The temperance people made a
strong fight against the saloon, but
the opposition was so strong and was
so thoroughly organized that victory
was hardly possible. The colored
brother, as usual, was almost unani-
mously in favor of the saloon, and
this was lead that could not be over
come. They were also solidly arrayed
against the other ticket, which was
composed of well-kncwn temperance
men. The election passed off very
quietly, and there was no disturbance
Of any sort, although the workers on
both sides were earnest and aggressive
all day. The total vote cast was 243

as Garrison and George Wlnebrenner,
sent up for twelve years for assaulting

by the Board of Pardons on the ground
of failing health, and was an act OF
mercy on the part of the Governor
1t is reported that one of the condi-
tons of the pardon was that the men
should not remain in the State, but
we do not know whether it is true or
not.
