Acquittal Were Arrested For
Smashing Windows.

The charge against Mr.. William II.
Jacques, who was arrested Tor help
ing to break windows and ''ors on
North Queen street, was dismissed to-
lay, it being clearly shown tia he
vas at home at the time the affair

aaye been implicated in it. Mr JAG

ways borne good reputation and
.aturally feels badly over the arrest.

ates Mr.. Jacques on being able to
20 easily establish his innocence.

The trial of John Taylor, who was
llso arrested on the same charge,
vas held in Justice Felker's court

dismissal Of the case. There was no
evidence against Taylor to show that
he was in any manner connected with
the disturbance, and the justice
promptly set him free.
AS stated in The Evening Journal
Thursday, both were arrested for
smashing windows and doors along
North Queen street Wednesday night
BUT it appears that mistake was
made.

The members of the Martinsburg
Public Library association, which has
been in existence here for the past IL
years, held their last meeting before
turning over the library to the board
of education Thursday evening, and
took the necessary steps to make the
formal transfer. Hereafter the libra
ry will be under the control Of and
be conducted by the board of educa-
ton, through the trustees appoint
ed by that body, under the provisions
of the law passed at the last session
OF the legislature. The legal papers
necessary to make the transfer are
now being prepared, and will be made
a matter of record within few days.
The reports Of the officers of the
association for the year 1907 were
submitted and approved. The report
of Mr.. Edward Rutledge, who had
acted as treasurer Of the association
for the past 10 years, showed that
there was balance of cents, and a
resolution was passed to draw a
check for that amount and present IL
10 Mr.. Rutledge for his long and
faithful services. Mr.. Rutledge
laughingly accepted the gift.
1t was determinede by the members
of the association to preserve the or
ganization, although the members
viii have absolutely no control over
the affairs of the library in the fu-
ture. However, being an incorporat-
ed body, it was decided for sentiment
tai reasons to keep the association
alive, and a resolution to this effect
was passed. The officers Of the old
| association are as follows;
President--Max Robinson.
Vice President-Miss Seibert.
Secretary--Miss Mary Stribling.
Treasurer-Edward Rutledge.
Librarian-Miss Tabb

cation to assume the management OF

The last session of the Legislature

education to levy small tax upon
ehe property Of the city for the pro-
per maintenance Of hei Institution,
and the amount that will be so de-
rived. it Is believed, will be sufficient

Fitzgerald Offered Splendid Place
|. With Illinois Central.
A. ". THOMPSON HIS SUCCESSOR
Former Second Division Man May
Be Made General Manager of the
Baltimore & Ohio Road
Authentic Statement.

Authentic Statement.
General Manager Thomas Fitzger-
aid, OF the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
who resigned Saturday afternoon fol
lowing violent disagreement over
the operating policy of the road with
Vice President G. l.. Potter In the gen
eral offices at Baltimore, it is stated
on pretty reliable authority, has been
offered a place with the Illinois Cen
trail railroad with headquarters in
Chicago Mr.. Fitzgerald after his res
ignation Saturday, left hurriedly for
Chicago. 1t was reported in Balti-
more that Mr.. Fitzgerald had recon
sidered his resignation, and that q
new place would be rendered him BY
President Oscar G. Murray, of the Bal
timore & Ohio. This, according tc
the Chicago story, would not be ac-
cepted by Mr.. Fitzgerald, though his
relations with President Murray are
of the most pleasant character.
The position offered Mr.. Fitzgerald
with the Illinois Central 1t is under
stood, is equally as good as that he
has just resigned with the Baltimore
& Ohio.
General Manager Fitzgerald and
Vice-President Potter did not agree In
many points on the operating policy
of the Baltimore & Ohio system. Mr.
Potter represents the Pennsylvania in
terests In the Baltimore & Ohio. Penn
sylvania end Baltimore & Ohio poll
cies have never harmonized very
well when brought into contact with
each other.
According to a report from Chlcag
the confirmation OF which is not civ
en-, Mr.. Fitzgerald met President Har.
ahan, OF the Illinois Central there
and was rendered a place with the bic
western road. President Harahan
many years ago, when Mr. Fitzgerale
was getting start with the Bait
more & Ohio, was also an employee Of
that system. Their friendship has
been of long standing.
Mr.. FitzgeraIds Successor.
A rumor, which is now going tn,
rounds, but which has not yet been
officially confirmed, is to the effec;
that A. w. Thompson, former su-
perintendent of the Cumberland divis-
ion OF the Baltimore & Ohio, Will be
made general manager to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation
Of Thomas Fitzgerald, which became
effective Wednesday,
Mr. Thompson is a promising young
railroad man who has all the quail
ficatlons essential to fill a position OF
this kind. He is now superintendent
Of the maintenance Of way depart
ment to which position he was advanc
ed from the superintendency of the
Wheeling division, and it is said that
the promotion Of Mr.. Thompson tc
this position was one Of the factors
which caused the difference between
Mr.. Potter and Mr.. Fitzgerald to come
to climax so soon.
Mr.. Thompson is well-known here
where he has many friends and stands
high among the railroad men.
