A Crusade Started.

A strong crusade is being
waged against the sale of what is
known as stomach bitters" and
Jamaica ginger at Osterburg, a
town up in Bedford county.
Owing to the location of the
place it is alleged that the bit.
ters" and Jamaica ginger are be-
ing drunk in large quantities and
that men and even school children
become intoxicated on the decoc.
tions.
A day or two ago a teacher dis
covered four of his pupils in an in
toxicated condition and when he
investigated the matter he learn
ed that the pupils had been drink.
ing stomach bitters" obtained
from one of the local dealers.
The evil has grown until the
people in that locality are so thor,
oughly aroused that the local
dealers have been notified that
unless they cease selling the stuff
that criminal proceedings will be
at once instituted.
Some time ago a merchant in
another portion of the county
was charged with a similar of
Tense and it cost him $1,000 be
fore he got out of his trouble.

JUDGE 0YERRULES APPEAL.
Another Point Scored Against
Turnpike Company.

turnpike Company.
On Monday, says the Bedford
Hawkeye, Judge John M. Bailey
handed down a decision denying
the appeal of the Bedford and
hambersburg Turnpike Com
pany against the assessment of
damages as made some time ago.
The matter has hinged on the en-
tertaining or refusal of this ap.
peal. AS the case now stands
the only avenue left open for the
Turnpike Company is to carry an
appeal to the Supreme Court o
the State which convenes in Har-
risburg in May. This appeal
would be to determine the right
of the Judge to make the ruling
as recorded above. In case the
Supreme Court sustains the opin.
ion of Judge Bailey the case will
be settled finally andthe Turnpike
Company will be compelled to
surrender the property and ac-
cept the award of the damages.
Should the Supreme Court re-
verse the ruling of Judge Bailey
then the case will be in the same
condition as it has been for some
time past and the matter will be
tried in court as to the award
The Turnpike Company will ar
que for a higher award. The
county has been represented in
this case by Hon. d. S. Horn and
Hon. John M. Reynolds. The at.
torneys for the Turnpike Com
pany are Hon. John II. Jordan
and Hon. f. K. Colvin. 1t is APP.
parent that sooner or later the
Turnpike Company must submit
to the peoples will and abolish
the toll gate system and abandon
the road to the county. The best
egal opinion obtainable is to tine
effect that Judge Bailey's ruling
will be sustained by the higher
court.

Prolonged and violent blasts OF
number of steam whistles on the west
eide early this morning brought a great
number Of residents out Of bed and pro-
claimed that there was big fire IN
progress. For a time il looked as
though the Rio Grande shops were go
ing UP In smoke, but the prompt ac-
ton OF the volunteer iiremen ana later

TO the coal sheds where 1t originated

IL was found that about hall Oh the

loaded with coal had been destroyd.
The heavy rain that commenced 10 iall
about the time the Gre had got down 10

The origin OF the outbreak Is a mater
OF surmise, the most plausible explana-
ton being that one Of the Italians AT
work In the chutes left torch blazing
near the woodwork with the usual re-
suit.
Soon after midnight the men ceased
work, leaving all the chutes full OF coal
and four loaded cars standing on the
track that bisccts the long sheds About
a. m. Waterman Naylor noticed a
small tongue Of fire licking along the
roof. He instantly sounded the alarm
and the hose was run out from the
shops. Then an alarm was turned into
the city fire department. The big shop
whistles were also turned loose. Those
who looked out OF their windows on the
east bench were treated to grand
sight. From the distance II looked as
though half the west side was on fire.
The stiff breeze carried the danes
along the roof until the sheds were
roaring furnace.
Before the flames reached their height
a switch engine was hitched on TO the
blazing cars and they were hauled
down the track for some distance
where they were left to await the ar
rival Of the fire fighters from the city.
They were almost entirely consumed.
The fremen had their work cut out
as the heat from the burning coal was
terrific. However they succeeded in
putting out the blaze shortly after 3
o'clock.
