Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-24

For years the Republican party has
been standing in with the trusts and
money mongers generally and giving
them everything asked in the
way of legislation in return for cam
paign funds, all at the expense of the
public, but the public is getting awake
to the robberies of the trusts and some
of the Republican leaders headed by
President Roosevelt realize that it is
unsafe to go further in that direction.
They appear willing to call halt before
the people take the matter in hands
and vote their party out of power An
other larger and more potent faction
protest and insist on the standpat poll
cy being continued and it remains to
be seen what will be the outcome of
the contention.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-24

If President Roosevelt is the honest,
sincere man his friends and disciples
claim and if it be true that the II :
publicans National committee had a
balance left from the last election of
S4O0 600, he will make his chairman
restore the money stolen from the wild
ows and orphans and given to the COM
mittee by Mccall, McCurdy, Hyde and
hers. We are inclined to the belief
that Teddy is little short on the grace
of restitution.

Work Goes on Day and Night on the
p. Road.

Work on the Improvements being
made on the p. V. branch of the w.
NJ, is being pushed as rapidly as time
will permit and a large force of men
can do it. Contractor Gilmore has be-
tween 400 and 500 men employed with
headquarters between McCoy's Ferry
and Clearspring. Between these points
and as far down as Ashton station the
heaviest work on the line is being exc
cuted.
In order to expedite the work Con-
tractor Gilmore has equipped an electric
light plant and wired the territory Gov
cred by his men, WIG are enabled to
work at night as well as the day. Are
lights are strung all along the line.
The powerhouse is situated near the
camp. The curves in the road between
McCoy's Ferry and Ashton have been
eliminated and the line will be straight
as string from one point to the other
when completed
Two of the deepest cuts on the road
are between those places, One is about
sixty feet deep and the other about
fifty feet. Heavy blasting is being done
to cut through there and steam shovels
are used to open the way. The roadbed
is being raised about 10 or 20 feet at
Ashton and lowered at McCoy's Ferry
All of the trestles on the line, which
were built of wood and some of them
unusually high and long, are being
done away with. Fills are being made
t. replace the trestles. The work on the
new bridge over the Conocheague creek
at Williamsport is nearing compile
ton. Bases for the piers and the abut-
ments are nearly finished. The bridge
will be built to accommodate double
track. The track will be raised four or
five feet on that end of the road
Work on the entire line will be car
ried on through the winter. Contract
Gilmore has purchased several acres Ct
land from Mr.. Teach, near Pinesburg,
and will get out quantities of stone 10
be used on the road.

A WondersuI Saving

The largest Methodist Church in
Georgia, used 81 gallons of l.. q M.

of other paint. Saved about SSC 90 and
al so got big donation of l.. q M. be-
cause their customers call for it, and
say they usedit Y, IA, and even 30
years ago.
Don't pay $3.50 a gallon for linsced

A Very Fast Kun.

In run made by special train
from Crestline, Ohio, to Clark June
ton Ind, on October "a, over the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, a
speed of 7455 miles an hour was made
for 257.4 miles, which gives to the
Pennsylvania Lines decidedly the best
record ever made for so great dis
lance. The train which made this run
was a special of four cars carrying a
party of railroad officers to the Chicago
meeting of the American Railway As
ISOLATION. The weight of the cars was
$40 GOO lbs. The engine was one of the
company's standard Atlantic type,
weighing 176, 800 lbs, and, with tender
320, 400 Id g., making total for the en-
CINE and train of about 400 tons. An
officer of the road, who makes this re-
cord, says that no particular attempt
was made to break records, but simply
to have comfortable ride to Chicago.
The distance from Cresline to Fort
Wayne l31.4 miles was run in 10l.2
minutes, a rate of 77.Sl miles per hour.
Front Fort Wayne to Clark junction
l26 miles was run in 1923 minutes, a
rate of 1915 miles per hour. The total
distance was 257.4 miles which was
run in 207.l 10 minutes or an average
rate of 74.55 miles per hour and this
included stop of three minutes and
% seconds at Fort Wayne.
The previous records most nearly APP
preaching this are those reported in
the railroad Gazette of June 80 and Au-
gust IL last. On the latter date a record
of 66.lS miles an hour for 800 miles,
was made by a regular train over the
same road as that w hich figures in the
present report; the Gazette also noted
records of 200 miles at 71.3 miles an
hour; 100 miles at 77.2 miles an hour,
and so miles at 70 miles an hour. The
special train over the Lake Shore Il
Michigan Southern on June Is ran 1872
miles at 1872 miles an hour: weight of
the three cars in the train, 175 tons.
1t will be observed that in the run
now reported no stop was made at
Clark Junction. If a stop had been
made here, adding, say, IL minutes
to the time, the average speed from
Crestline would have been aim ost eX-
actly "A miles an hour.
Besides making no particular at
tempt to break records the officer be-
fore mentioned gave instructions after
passing Fort Wayne, to ''check the
speed" How fully the engineman car
ried out these Instructions we leave the
reader to conjecture. The officer in
question may perhaps be one who has
zen service in the traffic department,
where in ancient times, orders ito re-
frain from rate cutting always sound
e well but sometimes failed of execu-
ton. Or, possibly the order to "check"
was not addressed TO the engineman
but to the men who sat in the observa-
ton car and watched the mile posts.

Don't imagine the Republican hos SEES
will lay down after loosing the first
round in the lateselection battle. They
have control of both Houses of Con-
gress, end the Speaker and the Vice
Pres dent. The railroads, trusts and
other corporations will fight to the
bitter end any curtailment Of their
vested interests and the Republican
machine will take their money and try
some pew dodge to fool the people.
Raj reforms are impossible except
through the Democracy, as the voters
evidently understand by supporting
Democratic candidates at the late cleo
lion.

Burn to Death

Francis Krider and Freshman
Hughes aged years and 10 months
respectively were burned to death al
their home IN Berryville on Tuesday
night last. The baby was the son OF
Charles r. Hughes, editor of the Clark
Courier and the little girl was the
daughter of his. wife by former mar
riage Little George Krider escaped
with but slight injuries. The children
had been left alone in room and the
Krider children were studying their
lessons when the baby playing about
fell againsta light table which held
large coal-oil lamp. The table and
lamp,were knocked over, the lamp eS-
ploded scattering burning oil on the
two children. They were both so badly
burned that they died in few hours.

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
simi liar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The &C t ION of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

Promotions in School.

School sessions for the second sem

grade children and high school stu

for work after a two weeks vacation.
Seventy-five pupils were advanced
from the eighth grade to high school
and there are now close to 375 pupils in
the building. This number taxes the
capacity to the limit and school was
dismissed at noon Monday that the
faculty may have time to adjust class
es. In grade schools the return to
studies was never effected with less
trouble. Many of the little ones were
advanced from the kindergarten to
the first grade. but owing to the school
training which they have already re
ceived their advent into the grades was
scarcely noticed, so smoothly was the
change made.

Becomes Violent Again.

August Suhl has become violent
again. Some time ago he barricaded
himself in his home out near the Mile
track and, armed to the teeth, would
not allow any one to approach the
fortress. BY strategy he was cap
tured while asleep and taken to Jail
The board of insanity commissioners
decided to send him to Mt. Pleasant
as a public patient. He was taken
there but escaped and came to this
city and to his home. He seemed to
be cured of his violent temperament,
and was therefore suffered to remain
at home as though under a parole.
Word now comes to the sheriff's Of
flee that he is again violent, and there
fore he will be taken and returned to
the hospital. without the formality OF
another hearing.
