Frederick wan pave street.

The city officials of Frederick, Nd
have just awarded the contract for
$4,000 worth of street paving. being
right up to date in this particular ano
going ahead with the improvement in
fine style. The contract was given to
a Williamsport, Pa. firm at $2.10 per
square yard, the specifications requir-
ing the Fairmont Dried, the kind that
made very favorable impression on
the members of the Martinsburg city
council, and which has been used ex
tensively in Hagerstown and other
cities. The price of 90. 10 per square
yard is an indication of what the
work in Martinsburg will cost, and il
in the neighborhood of what the coun-
#cilmen have been basing their esti-
mates upon.
In conversation with member OF
the special committee appointed to In
vestigate the paving proposition here,
and call upon the property owners for
their opinions. it ia learned that every
person so far seen has agreed that the
improvement should be made, and it
is not expected that any one will block
the progress Of the city in this direct
ion. This councilman also stated that
a plan had been formulated whereby
a loan at small rate of interest could
be secured for the city share of the
work, which will be one-third the
total cost. and that the project en-
braces Queen street from the Lutheran
church square to the lower part of the
public square. 1t is thought the total
cost of this would be about $1,000.
The work OF the special committee has
bece almost completed.

FATAL SHOOTING ARRAY
'Long Fannie" Sends Bullet Into
James Wilson.
BOTH LOADED WITH dope"
Scrap Between Negroes at Early Hour
Wednesday Morning Likely
He Msy Recover.

A probably fatal shooting af-
fray between two negroes took
place Wednesday morning about
2 o'clock at the place of man
named Charles Busch, in North
Martinsburg, when a notorious
negress called "Long Fannie"
Jefferson shot a negro named
James Wilson, infiicting a
wound from which the man
will probably die.
Just how the shooting Oc-
Cured the officers have been
unable to learn, as both parties
to the affair are very reticent
and will say little. The theory
is that Wilson was either spend,
ing the night with the Jefferson
woman, or went there shortly
before the shooting. Both were
pretty well loaded with cocaine,
"dope" it is called among those
who use the deadly stuff, and
it is thought that an alteration
took place. The woman had a
38-calibre revolver and she pro.
ceeded to get little target
practice on her companion,
shooting three times. The last
shot sent a bullet into Wilson
Immediately below the heart.
Officers Wigginton, Hollis
and Monegan went to the scene
of the affray. They found the
woman in the cellar, half dress
ed and under the influence of
the"dope" and placed her under
arrest. She is now in Jail. She
would say nothing about the
affair, beyond the statement
that "she was attending to her
business
In the meantime Wilson ran
from the place, going west
along the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road tracks as far as Intersec-
ton. He had taken the revolver
from the woman after the last
shot, and had it in his possess
sion. When he got as far as
Interse ction he was overcome
by the loss of blood and the
pain, and collapsed along the
railroad tracks. Some trainmen
found him there several hours
later and brought him to the
depot on an engine. DR.. Nc.
|Cormack examined the wound
and pronounced it probably fa'
tai. Wilson was removed to
| the county Jail.
An investigation is being con-
Quoted by States Attorney Noll
but nothing further has been
learned of the affair. The Off
GERS say the joint at which the
shooting took place is pretty
tough, and is frequented by a
motley assembly of both white
and black men and women.
