radical change. however. in body design.
Side entrances continue in favor. In
seating capacity. and better upholstery,
and more attention seems 10 have been
paid to finishing touches and details.
Another interesting point for the
prospective buyer is the fact that the
ease of riding has been materially in
creased. as is shown by the following
haracteristics OF 1906 cars: The length
of the springs wherever the standard
forms of semi-elliptic springs have oeen
maintained. has been Increased 70 its
possible limits: the leaves have been
made wider and thinner wherever pos
sible adoption OF three-quarter full
elliptic springs. platform springs, and
cross springs. as well in the front of the
car as In the middle of the same. All
these indicate that this years car will
the cars OF last years make.
Buyer in Better Position.
To summarize these observations on
the general appearance and details. It
must be said that the buyer Is this
year in a better position than he ha~
been before. as it is not the outside
appearance OF the car alone which
might influence him, and whicI might
not be indicative of internal value.
II can he generally and broadly stat
ed that almost every car 1isptayed at
workmanship and of such thorough
mechanical and harmonious designing
that the intending owner will not re-
gTet the transaction of acquiring one.

NO MERGER WITH

cerned that no deal or combinatica look

way has been carried out nor is it ex-
pected that any such merger will be
made. The Old Dominion is rapidly ap

aqueduct bridge. and it is expected that
an arrangement viii be made with the
Capital Traction to accept transfers
from the old Dominion road. In fact,
II Is believed that a free exchange OF
transfers between the two roads will
soon be required by Congress should
there be any hitch in the arrangements.
The building up of Rosslyn into a large
manufacturing center IS accounted as
one or the advantages to be derived
from the coming OF the new road, which
Will furnish largely improved transpor-
tation facilities to that section, the state
ment being made that no less than 5000
persons use the bridge daily In crossing.
All the weird stories that have been
in circulation regarding deals and ner-
gers are set at rest by this denial from
a credible source.

The citizens of Martinsburg usually
feel a reasonable certainty Of having

Of power, but last Wednesday evening
complication Of mis-haps kept the
town dark until aoout 7.30. The Po-
tomac river reached such height
about o'clock in the afternoon that
the power plant at dam No. 8 had TO
close down, and when the management
attempted to get up steam at the old
plant in town, broken fiue developed,
which it took until 7.30 p. m. to repair.
A good many persons found themselves

News Paper Company Formed,

The proposition to form joint stock
company of Jefferson County republic
cans, TO buy out the eastern Pam
handle" in Shepherdstown, which we
mentioned last week, seems to have
materialized. The company capitalized
at $4,000 and Col. Boone, the former
editor, got 5000 for his plant. The
principal stockholders are postmasters
Nunday of Shepherdstown; Somers,
of Berkeley Springs. Erum, of Harpers
Ferry: assistant postmaster, b radley
of Charles Town, and Tracy l.. Jeffords
of Harpers Ferry; J. d. Billmyer, of
Shepherdstown, and others. 1t seems
to be a coterie OF postmasters and the
supposition Is, that it will be an Elk
ins organ from the ground up. 1t il
said that Mr.. Biilmyer will be the BUSH
ness manager, and that Mr.. Jeffords
will shape the editorial policy.

Call Was Defective.

Mayor Minghini took fall out OF
he City Council last Tuesday night.
A meeting had been called to consider
the Baker Bros. offer of 5000 for the
city's water right in the Big Spring,
and it has generally understood that a
majority of the members were In favor
o accepting same. Mayor Minghini,
however, is bitterly opposed to dispos.
ing of the franchise. He appeared at the
meeting and called it to order. The
reading of the minutes having been
dispensed with, that Mayor said, now
declare this meeting illegal and 1t Is
dissolved. Good evening gentlemenl 1t
developed that the object Of the meet
ing had not been named in the call
and therefore it was defective. There
was no getting around the informality
and consideration of the matter had to
be postponed.
