STREET IMPROVEMENTS rs.

The street committee of the City
Council have decided upon a number
OF material Improvements at various
points about town.
Three new brick crossings were or
dered laid ON West King street, one at
the corner of church, one at the corn
er of Winchester avenue and one at
the crossing near the Cumberland Val.
ley railroad. A new brick crossing was
also ordered laid at the intersection Of
High and Llberty streets.
A car load of terra Gotta 36-inch pip
ing was ordered for the culvert on
West Stephen street. This piping is the
largest made and the sections, which
are 2 IL feet in length, weigh 100
pounds. This order settles the matter
Of the opening up of West Stephen
street between Maple avenue and
Queen streets, and the work will start
as soon as the piping arrives. IAls IS
one the greatest improvements made
by the council for some time, as this
street has been an eyesore to that end
of the city. There is large amount of
business on that street and when it is
once opened up there will be large
amount of traffic over it.
TIE concrete wall In front of the
property of Mr.. G. G, Smith, on East
John street, which is one foot over the
line, was ordered placed back. Several
her matters of minor importance were
discussed before adjournment.

Democrats have some consolation In
the result OF the late election. They can
90 to bed al reasonable hour or sit by
a nice warm stove and talk to their
wives, sisters or sweethearts and do not
have to be running about over the
country. drinking the remnants of the
c,mpaign whiskey, carrying torches
add yelling to beat baud and getting
up in the morning with sore throat
and head ache. No sir we have been
saved of all that qisagreeable work by
the nasty old Republicans. 1t is strange
that they don't get tired of it. For our
p ,rt we don't care il we don't see re-
publican for year.

WABASH.

The Wabash invaded Hancock yes
terday morning with force of men
aud the first dirt on the extension was
thrown up within the corporation
limits in the west end of town. The
grading and making fills will proceed
as rapidly as possible through the town
and the track layers are following
with speed. The track has been built
to within less tn n a half mile Of h an
cock. Workmen are engaged inerecting
the bridge over the Big Tonol way and
as soon as the structure Is completed
the track will go on to Hancock. 1t
will require but few weeks to accom- E
plish the, work and the Hancock people
are ready to throw up their hats.
Trans will be running from that place
to HagersSown within month.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER is, 1904.

Our Republican friends in Berkeley
have decided to play the baby act.
They were beaten honestly and fair
ly in the election on last Tuesday a
week and yet they demand recount
with the idea of getting those oat
who are elected and getting thfir
places. They have had the election
machinery SO long in Berkeley coun-
ty and had their own way so long
that it is hard to come down to an
honest ballot and fair county. 1t has
tor yeats been the custom of the Re-
publican organization to bring peo-
pie here who have no legal right to
vote and vote them here in droves
against the protest of the Democrats.
Even in the late election there were
numbers OF negroes brought here from
Pittsburg aud elsewhere and voted
who have families in their new homes
and have been voting there. One ne
gro brought here on Republican
pass told us Of four others who had
come here with him, who were mar
ried and voted in Pennsylvania. 1t is
safe to say that they all voted here
and voted the Republican ticket. To
hear these machine politicians talk
one would think there were none
honest but Republicans, none were
patriotic but they and that Democrats
cannot hold an honest election.
A recount has been asked in the
interest of Messrs. Sites aud Clenden-
ing against Messrs. Westphall and
Hutsler for the legislature, Mr.. Zeph
Morgan against Ar. NJ. L. Payne, tor
assessor by whom he was beaten by
IS majority and J. +. Roberts against
Mrs. S. S. Felker and H. S. Thomp-
son for magistrate. Roberts was beaten
by these opponents by 90 and 81 re-
spectively. OF couse the object Of the
contest to begin cause to carry up
to the legislature upon which they
may rest an excuse for throwing out
our duly elected representatives anu
putting in those whom the people re-
iected and in the other cases to carry
them up to partisan Supreme court
that never fails to reverse itself to seat
a Republican. There is no justice in
the gang and the peoples will count
nothing with them.
Though Mr.. c. w. Stuckey beat
; Mr. E. S. Henshaw but so votes the
latter declined to demand a recount
and to enter into any contest over
th matter.

MARLoWE.

Marlowe, Nov, ID, 1904. Pain and
snow here yesterday the first snowfall
of the season. Tie pleasant weather
has enabled the farmers to get il most
of the corn. which seems to be little
above an average crop We hope the
weather may continue favorable to
the growth of the late sown wheat, 40
the dry weather during the past
month has been very unfavorable.
The excitement of the recent pc
litical contest has about died away,
leaving our people to pursue their
reg ular occupation in peace. Many
heated discussions occurred here over
the new tax law, aud the result OF
the election throughout the State
shows plainly the corporate interests
OF our state have grown in magnitude
until they are able to fasten upon the
agricultural people of this eastern
panhandle and law they may choose
no matter how odious it may be, but
we are glad TO know that the voters
OF ''Old Berkeley" have way OF
dealing with such questions at the
polls, that leads us to believe tina
there is life in the old land yet, and
to know that, SO long as democracy
stands as the safeguard of the people,
our own representative at least will
be compelled to consider our peoples
interests above party rule. Among
those home for the elebtion were
Messrs John A. Ditto and c. Z. Drake
of Baltimore and Charlie lack, of Nc
Keesport. 1--WE were very glad to see
the boys, but wish they would make
it suit to come some other time than
election day.
