Interesting Case In Court.

Interesting Case In Court.
A very interesting case was heard
here on Tuesday before Magistrate
Rentch. One of the men who is in
strumental in securing workmen for
the electric plant at Dam No. 4 had
gone to Pennsylvania and secured
nine Slavs to come back with him to
work on the job. He paid their way
from Harrisburg here, and was to get
his money back when their wages
were due. The Slavs went to the
dam, and after working few hours
decided to quit and return to Penn.
sylvania. The man who had hired
them wanted them to pay him the
money hs>had advanced for their car
fare, but they wouldn't do it. He
thereupon swore out warrants against
them for obtaining money under false
pretenses. They were arrested and
taken before Magistrate D. s. Rentch,
and he had hard time understand
ing the gibberish they use for Ian
guage. AS well as they could be
understood, they claimed that they
had been deceived and the work was
not what it was represented nor the
accommodations of the right sort.
The magistrate decided that they
would have to refund the money and
pay the costs, and after good deal
of chafering they yielded up the nec-
essary coin and were allowed to de-

New Railroad Bridge at shepherdstown.


Toe Norfolk & Western RAILWAY
will shortly begin the erection of
new bridge across the Potomac rive
at Shepherdstown. This work hai
been in contemplation for the pas
year or two, and it is believed thai
operations will be commenced very
soon. Surveyors are expected here
today to begin the necessary prellmi
nary work, and the stakes and other
material are already on hand for theil
use.
The new bridge is to take the place
of the present iron structure across
the Potomac. The first bridge, erect.
ed by the Shenandoah Valley Rail.
road, was a wooden one on high stone
piers, and this was afterward replaced
by an iron bridge. This will be
abandoned, and an entirely new
bridge, piers and all, at different
point, will be built.
For some time past the present
structure has been unsatisfactory. 1t
is not heavy enough to carry the big
engines that are now being adopted
by the railroads. and in addition it is
believed that the foundations Of the
piers are not entirely safe. When the
bridge was originally constructed the
piers were built on wooden cribs. AS
long as these cribs were all under
water they were perfectly sound, but
since the dam ut the cement mill =
mile below has been destroyed, the
water in the river has receded from
four to six feet, and the woodwork is
exposed to the action of the air and
water alternately, causing it to decay.
Besides this, the approaches to the
present bridge are not up to the
standard required by modern railroad.
ing. On the Maryland side there is a
very steep grade for half mile or
more, with sharp curve right at the
bridge, while on the West Virginia
shore there ia grade and reverse
curve.
1t ID not known definitely just
where the new bridge is to be located
One report says that the route will
leave the old line near the water-tank,
above the station, and 60 to the east
of the Reformed Cemetery, crossing
the river from point on the Stipp
farm. Another route spoken of is to
straighten the line through town, fol,
lowing pretty close to the present
line, crossing the river few hundred
feet east of the present bridge, joining
the old line at the big cut on the
Maryland side near the summit oil
the hill. This would call for bridge
diagonally across the river, and
would make it lengthy structure.
1t is believed that wherever the bridge
shall be located it will be from ten
to twenty feet higher than the old
bridge, which is almost a hundred
feet above the water. This puts It up
in the air sufficiently to get good
view of the landscape.
The erection of this bridge will
mean the expenditure of very large
sum of money. 1t will require great
stone piers that will probably be from
100 to l25 feet in height, while the
iron work will take a long time for
completion, as the bridge will proba-
bly be from 1000 to 1900 feet in
length.

A Straight
Talk on Paint.

To Put off painting Is wastefnl
negligence.
To use poor PAINTS false economy.
Good paint used when needed is
a profitable in0eSfment-not an ex-
pense.
No argument needed on these
points, no investigation-but the
selection of a good paint is prob
lem, and hard one, too.
Why? Because there is so much
fraud in the paint business. It's
so easy to fool the people on paint.

our county officials to take notice OF
this carelessness and vandalism, and
those guilty of infringing the law
should be punished. 1t is wrong to
permit this destruction and the con.
sequent littering of our public roads,

authority will wake up.

everything in q thres-ring circus.

interest the visitor for day, while
the races and music and amusements
were such as to demand continuous
presence on the grand stand. The
airship didn't fly any, because OF
constant winds. it is said. but there
was plenty to be seen without it.
The horse show, which was held We'd
nesday and Thursday nights, was
not entirely satisfactory, as the cold
weather made it uncomfortable for
the spectators. and besides most per-
