Wet Rails Cause a Wreck.

twenty persons were injured In a street
car collision here last night. The crash
was due to wet rails. A Madison street
car ran into a Western Avenue car which
was crossing over Madison street. The
efforts of the motorman to stop the cars
were vain because Of the cars sktdding
along the tracks. Both cars were derailed.
Many escaped injuries by jumping.
When the carr met all the lights were
extinguished and the Western avenue
train was carried along toward the curb
ing. Panic seized the passengers and the
screams of women and children aroused
residents in the vicinity. Robert H. Smith,
the most dangerously injured, was caught
between the two cars and SO severely
crushed that It is believed he will die.

Mrs. Lee Padian, young widow oil
Martinsburg, and Mr.. Guy Allen
Kerrick, of Shepherdstown, were the
principals in a romantic wedding
which was solemnized at midnight
Wednesday night at the home of the

about 1890 o'clock in the evening.
after talking the matter over with the
lady, it was decided to have the cere-
mony performed yet that night. The
court house being closed. and Mr..
Bender absent from the city, the SER
vices of Attorney Wilbur 81. Thomas,
who is acting county clerk, were called
into requisition. Mr.. Thomas was
routed out Of bed about IL o'clock,
and the couple were speedily in pos
session of the necessary permit to wed.

and stated she was widow with one
child. The groom stated that he is a
native of Fauquier county, Va, and
is at present engaged in the lumber
business at Shepherdstown. After
procuring the license the party started
in search of a minister, but owing to
the lateness of the hour it was neces.
sary to visit the homes of several
clergymen before one could be secured.
They were successful, however, and
Rev. W. B. Evers performed the.cere.

II tell you, the people Of this country
do not want the railroads to carry pass.
engers for two-cents mile. They do
demand first-class, safe service, and
they are willing TO pay q fair price Tor
it. That is what we want and intend
to give them. il we are permitted to do
so.> 1t is only guesswork to hazard an
opinion as to the outcome OF the rate
fight. Practically every road In this
country has rate fight on its hands.
The Pennsylvania is contrasting the two
cent rate in Pennsylvania, and in Ohio
and West Virginia, where the two-cent
rate is in effect under the law, the roads
are losing money.
The above remarks are attributed
to Mr.. L. E Johnson, president of the
Norfolk & Western Railway. In our
opinion Mr.. Johnson is utterly mis-
taken in his assertion that the people
of this country do not want two-cent
fares. This is exactly what they do
want. 1t is this imperative demand
upon the part Of the people, who will
not be denied when once they are
thoroughly aroused, that has caused
the conventions of great political pa
ties to declare for two-cent rate |;
that has impelled legislatures to enact
laws to provide for the reduction. 1t
is the will Of the people that has
strengthened the bands of State off,
Gals and enabled them to force un-
willing railroads to obey the laws, in
spite Of the conpivance of federal
Judges and the exercise of every in
huence that the companies could exert.
And it is this same determination on
the part of the people that will bring
two cent passenger fares as the per-
manent rate all over this country.
The blindness of railroad officials such
as Mr.. johnson is peculiar affection,
and if they atill refuse to see the light
they will but add more trouble for
themselves.
AS to the statement that the rail-
roads of West Virginia and Ohio are
losing money because of the two.cent
rate, we don't believe a word of it.
