ABOUT The END or n.
The board Of Trade ants the New
misunderstanding Company 60 Deposit
"a Certified Check Before steps
Are Taken 30 Secure
subscriptions

1t looks as if the Cross Axle Mann
featuring Company, which wanted to
locate in this citvand begin the manu-
facture of axles according to the new
patent Of Mr.. Cross, has about given
up the idea.
The Board of Trade was loathe to
60 through the ordeal of soliciting
subscriptions for the purchase of the
Baltimore and Ohio shop buildings
for the starting ola new industry and
then take the chances of the organic
ers Of the company changing their
minds about the time all the subscrip-
tions are secured. The proposed con-
tract into which the company and the
people of Martinsburg We're to enter
was all right. but before contarct
can be entered into the people must
get hold of the buildings. Having
passed through the ordeal of soliciting
enough subscriptions with which TO
buy the buildings once, all for moth
ing. the members of the Board of
Trade since that time have not been
overwhelmed with the desire to go
through all that work again unless
they. can guarantee to the people that
what they promise will be fulfilled.
According TO the proposition the
subscriptions were to be secured anu
the company were to be allowed 10
start their new plant into operation,
the title TO the buildings not TO be
turned over to them until they had
lived up to all the terms of the CON
tract, employing so many hands and
paying out so much in wages. etc.
After much correspondence, the Off
GERS of Inc Board of Trade have finally
sent to the officers of the axle compa-
ny the proposition that they send to
one of the Martinsburg banks a certi-
fed check for $500. which would be
held as a arantee that they would
locate here and live up TO the terms OF
the proposed contract. That PROPOSE
tion was sent to them about two weeks
ago and nothing has since been heard
from them. If they accept. it the
Board of Trade will at once call q
meeting of the citizens and take steps
toward securing subscriptions; if not
the matter will be dropped.

COURT OF CLAIMS VACANCY
SENATOR sCoTr PRESSES THE
CLAIMS or Ex-Gov ATKINSON
Called ON the Attorney General In
w ashington The senator's Views
%. the EFFORT OF the coal strike
rpon Republicans la w.

Washington, d. O., August s6
Another fight is 10 be made by the
West Virginia republicans to secure
the vacant judgesfip on the Court Of
Claims benchsin this city for ex-Gov.
George w. Atkinson, nj present Unit
ed States attorney of the southern dis
trict of West Virginia. Senator Ma
than b. Scott of West Virginia called
on Attorney General Knox in Washing
ton yesterday to press the Claims of
Mr.. Atkinson, who is presented as
about as loyal republican as there is
in West Virginia, and as possessing
every qualification for the place.
President Roosevelt set the claims Of
Mr.. Atkinson aside when the fight for
the vacancy first arose. and offered the
place to Senator McLaurin Of South
Carolina. IT will be remembered that
Senator McIaaurin finally declined the
offer, leaving the vacancy about rs it
was several months ago The PEST
dent has taken no action in the case,
aud as the West Virginia republicans
are hopeful that they may succeed i'll
landing Mr.. Atkinson. The withdraw
al of Senator McIsaurin reopened the
whole case, and all the old candidates
and number of new ones are again
being presented. 1t is understood from
an authoritative source that the Presi-
dent does not contemplate making an
appointment in this case before No
vember or December. The vacancy
on the Supreme bench of the District
of Columbia is in the same status, and
will not be acted upon for some time.
/ Senator Scott said that the coal
strike would hurt the republicans in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia in the
November elections. He did not say
that the strike itself was at the bot
tom of this, but said the republican
loss would be due to colored Iminers
and othres having gone from Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia TO other states.
1.-THE negro workman is somewhat
timid, 2 said Senator Scott. "and when
he is threatened with determination if
he takes the places of strikers in the
coal fields or wants to go back to work
in the coal mines he becomes frighten-
ed and emigrates to some other state
in search of work. This will lose us
some strength this fall. Other than
this, republican prospects were never
brighter. The people are in splen-
did condition in II business and finan-
cial way, and are highly satisfied with
the way things are going.

LETTER TO D. A. CLINE,

Martinsburg, w. Va,
Dear Sir: There is going to be. from
now on, in Martinsburg good deal
of painting done, that will last in
good condition from 3 years up--l0
years is common; we know of it good
in Is; and we know no limit--it seems
to be likely to last rs long as the
house lasts, in favorable conditions.
The painter that uses this paint
will get all the business he can do.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint.
1t looks as good as any costs no
more; and is ready-no tinting or
mixing to do. The zinc is ground
in with the lead by machinery-you
can't do that.
Test it youself, If you like; but
there's plenty of evidence for it. We
take the risk of how it turns out
there is no risk.
Do you want this work?
Yours truly,
+. w. Devoe g. Co

WESTERN UNION BUSTED
Postal Co. Taking Charge Along
the C. v. R. R.
ARE BUILDING A NEW LINE
1t viii Extend South through Hagsrstown to
Martinsburg and Winchester Western
Olol Constructing Line Along
Western Maryland.

-rle ousting of the Western union
offices along the line of the Cumber-
land Valley will take place just as
soon as the Postal Company is in a
position to take charge. The Postal
company's line will be extended from
Carlisle through Chambersburg TO
Hagerstown and on south TO Martins
burg and Winchester Its lines run
ming from Carlisle west passing
through McCalisters Gap, Roxbury
and across the mountain at Clark S
Krob via Strasburg, with offices at
Fannettsburg and Dry Run, continu-
ing on to Pittsburg. Twelve wires
will be strung from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg by way of Harrisburg and
the Pennsylvania road and four will
be required ON the line along the
Northern Central aud Philadelphia and
Erie branches: The wires will be
strung on the railroad company's poles,
which are already in the ground.
At Harrisburg the Western Union
Telegraph closed its Office in the Union
station Friday and an operator OF the
Postal Telegraph Company took charge.
The Postal company until that time
had only one desk in the women's
waiting room Now all the business
handled at that point will fall to it.
In the meantime the Western Union
Company is busy stringing wires along
the Western Maryland Railroad. Fore
man John Shreiner Saturday afternoon
completed the new Western Union tel
egraph line between Chambersburg
and Shippensburg, along the Western
MARYLAND railroad Foreman Shriener
with force of eighteen men during
the past ten days has strung l40 miles
of copper wire. Today Foreman Shrei-
ner with his force of workmen will
commence the work of stringing two
copper wires between Hagerstown and
Chambersburg.
An official of the Pennsylvania rail
road company is authority for the state
ment that the Western Union telegraph
company means totake out injunctions
to prevent the railroad company from
removing the poles and wires from the
main line. Reports had it that the
differences between the two concerns
had been amicably adjusted when the
contract expired, but it is now believ-
ed that measures are being taken by
the Western Union to put up a strong
fight in their efforts to retain right OF
way long the main line of the Pennsyl.
vania, which they claim belongs to
them.

at rapid rate of speed on Saturday
evening Homer Small met with an ac-
cident which completely upset his
team, himself. his two sisters aud all
the marketing which he was bringing
to town. on the bed Of The pike.
The cause of the accident was a long
pile of rocks which extends good dis
lance along the middle of the pike be-
tween the toll-gate and the CORPORA
tion limits He was hurrying in or
der to get to market in time and i'll his
haste he did not see the pile of rocks
when he came to it, The wheels of
the wagon struck it and caused the
wagon to upset. The occupants of the
wagon were thrown onto the ground,
all the marketing was spilled and the
top of the wagon was demolished. For
tunately the horses did not run away
and further damage after the upset
ting was prevented. The occupants
of the wagon were shaken up and
bruised by their fall, but they suffered
no serious injury. Numerous drivers
have driven onto the same pile of
rocks and have had narrow escapes.
STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
The driver of the wagon of J. Wal
per Snyder went to sleep on his way
home from town Saturday afternoon
and as he crossed the tracks of the
quarry railroad on the Charles Town
road backing train struck the wag-
on. The wagon was knocked to the
side of the road and the horses and
| occupant Of the wagon miraculously
escaped injury. One of the front
wheels of the wagon was smashed, but
further than that no damage was done.

sleeping driver and the quarry en-
Dloyes had to tug at him for several
minutes before they could get him
awake. The Standard Lime and Stone
Company replaced the broken wheel.
