VALUE OF A GIRLS LIFE.
Father of Terra Gotta Victim Accepts
Sum of $3,725.

Activity on he part of the Balu-
more and Ohio railroad to compromise
damage cases growing out OF the
wreck at Terra Gotta on December 30
last was evidenced Monday when Jo-
seph c. Cromwell administrator of
the estate of his daughter Carrie W..
Cromwell, who was killed in the dis,
aster. asked permission of the pro-
bate court to accept $3.725 in settle
ment. Chief Justice Clabaugh, who
presided in the court, granted the re-
quest Some time ago Mr.. Cromwell
asked for letters of administration on
his daughters estate, which he said,
consisted mainly OF the right OF ac-
ton against the railroad for causing
her death In his petition he stated
that he believes the offer OF settle,
ment a fair one and that he deems it
for the best interests of the estate to
accept it, He saws that he is the sole
Distribute of the estate, and that he
is willing to take the amount which is
a final offer by the company.

WAS NOT LOBBYING.
Mission of Mr.. BrlndIe to Charleston
M isunderstood.

Mr.. A. T. Russler, president of the
Martinsburg board of education
states that there appears to be mis-
understanding regarding the visit of
Superintendent G. w. Brindle to Char
lesion. 1t seems that some persons
are under the impression that Mr.
Brindle was sent to the state capital to
lobby in the interest of the bill to au-
thorize the issuance of bonds to erect
new high school building. This is
an error The World k nows II at Mr..
Brindle went to Charleston to attend
an educational meeting at the urgent
invitation of State superintendent
Miller, and that the board of education
took advantage of the opportunity
thus offered to send the bill to Mr..
George Ryneal, a member of the house
from Berkeley county. Naturally, Mr.
Brindle spoke word in favor of the
bill, and was assured that it would be
favorably reported in the senate and
the house, but this was merely an in
cident of his trip to Charleston, and
not the object of his visit. Mr.. Brin-
die is very much in favor of better
school facilities here, as are many 9th
ers who know the difficulties under
which the school authorities are now
working, and his efforts to secure the
new high school building are perfect
proper and commendable.

In discussing this subject, the Saturday Evening Post, one of the ablest publications, editorially, in the United States, says:
 What the country most needs, il such situation as developed in Wall Street the latter part Of Octc Der. is just word of umimpeachable author ity. Whoever, in that disturbance, withdrew bank deposit to hoard it, picked at the underpinning of the house in which we all live. Only tho people have money. It is their twelve thousand millions on deposit in the banks that carries On the commerce If the country. If wage-earners. sal aricd men, prCprictoTs Of small busi- nesses should concertcdly withdrew their bank deposits they would there by automatically throw themselves out of employment and into bank ruptcy. No one deliberately pulls down the roof over his head. There could have been no reasonable doubt of the soundness of practically all the banks. Yet there were some activi- ties in the roof-pulling line because q considerable number of persons were. for the moment, unreasCnably fright ened. What the country then needed was simply a convincing word of as surance; somebody who would be be- lieved, who could say, Don't shut off the water supply because fire alarm has been turned in; let your deposits alone, and you will certainly not be hurt.'
