CHANCE FOR BALL TEAM HERE
FINE PROSPECT IF LAST YEARS
DEBT CAN BE PAM
Manager Thompson Has Received
Applications For Places From a
Number of Good PLAYERS.

Col. James f. Thompson, manager
of the harrisburg base ball club
stated today to a representative OF
this paper that the prospects for q
fine club in Martinsburg the coming
season are particularly bright, pro-
viding enough money can be raised
within the next few weeks to pay of
the Indebtedness of the club from last
year, but that unless some arrange
ment is made to discharge this in
debtedness there would probably be
no team here this season.
Col Thompson has received letters
from many fine players who wish to
come here upon reasonable terms, and
could easily get together splendid
team at less expense than last year.
Among the applicants are several
members OF last years club. and vic
Miller, Of Berkeley Springs, sentz, Of
Baltimore, and others. Miller and
sentz are now playing with Fort
Worth, Tex.
The $500 for the release Of Tonkin
has not been received here, and Tom
kin has refused to report to Dcs
Moines until that money is paid. An
other effort win be made to get Cam
tillion to settle the matter amicably.
and failing in this suit will be en-
tered in court.

POLITICS OVER IN MORGAN
WILL BE FIGHT FOR THE STATE
sENAToRsHIp THERE.
Attorney A. c. McIntire and Mr.. P.
II. Lawyer Are After the Demo-
cratic Nomination.

What promises to be an interesting
contest for the honor of representing
this senatorial district in the upper
house of the next session OF the legis-
lature has begun in Berkeley Springs
where The friends of Attorney A. c.
Mclntire and Mr. p. X. Lawyer are
urging their claims upon the democrat
lie party.
This district is hopelessly demo-
cratic, and a nomination is equivalent
to an election Under a tacit agree
ment among democrats, the nomina-
ton is sent around, each county TAX
ing its turn. If this agreement holds
good this year, the honor will fall to
Morgan county. Some time ago am
nouncement was made by friends of
Attorney McIntire that he would be q
candidate for the nomination, and
now comes word that Mr.. Lawyer viii
also enter the race
Mr. McIntire is one Of the rising
young lawyers of the eastern panhan-
die and will make ain aggressive fight
II he enters the race. Mr.. Lawyer has
been chairman Of the Morgan county
democratic executive committee 4 for
several years, and has strong follow
ing in that county. The contest be-
tween these two aspirants promises 10
be an interesting one.

'TOBE NOMORE BIG MEETINGS
AT LEAST FOR THE PRESENT,
SAYS THE COMMITTEE.
Series of Sunday Afternoon Meetings
1t the Central Opera House Ended
Until a Later Date.

Members of the committee having
in charge the series of mems meetings
in the Central Opera house Sunday
afternoons during the month of Feb
ruary have decided to call the meetings
off for the present, owing to the fact
that they have been compelled to sew
eral times postpone the meeting that
was to have been held in February,
and to the further fact that these
postponements caused the interest to
drop off to considerable extent
1t was the intention of the commit
tee to hold one more big, rousing
meeting and wind up the series in a
blaze of enthusiasm, but the fact that
a speaker of national reputation
could not be secured at the opportune
moment caused this to fail. It is said
that another series Of meetings may
be held later.

COUNTY COURT TO GET EII, kIl4LgvuNCT|oN
viii Compel Standard Lime Stone Co. and The Baltimore Ohio
to Keep orr The Charles Town ROad--WI Sue For DAMAGES

Al the session of the Berkeley Coun-
ty court Friday evening, the members
Of the court decided to proceed at
once and with positiveness to put an
end to what they claim is an intolera-
BILE situation along the Charles Town
road at the quarries of the Standard
Lime & Stone Co., south of this city,
and the states attorney was instructed
to proceed forwitll TO take such action
as is necessary to make the temporary
Injunction granted by Judge Faulkner
in 1904 permanent one.
1t Is claimed that the Baltimore G
Ohio railroad and the Standard Lime
81 Stone Co have been encroaching
upon the public highway at the south
quarries until conditions there have
become decidedly dangerous to those
who travel past that point, especially
after nightfall. On March a petitio.
signed by number of persons residing
south and east of the city, and which
asked the County court to take some
action, was presented, and the clerk
was notified to summon the limestone
and railroad officials TO appear be-
fore the court March 8. On this date
the attorneys for the companies Sc
cured postponement Of the case until
the next day, and IL has been put of
from day to day since that time.
Friday, however. the court decided
to take summary action, and the in
structions to the states attorney to
secure permanent Injunction against
the railroad and limestone companies
was the result. In 1904 Judge Faulk :

Romanded to Jail.
DECISION WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY
Probable That the Charge Of Abduc-
tion viii Be Dropped By Mother
Of the Girl With Whom Beard
Eloped on Sunday.
Eloped on Sunday.

Amos Beard, the young man OF this
city who was arrested Monday last
on warrants sworn out by States
Attorney Nol and Mrs. Emma Clabaugh
Of Hedgesville, charging him with per-
Jury and abduction, was given d hear
Ing in Justice Thompson1s court Fri
day, as stated in The Evening Jour-
nal Of that day. Justice Thompson
withheld his decision. taking the case
Under advisement until today, when he
handed down his decision.
Beard was held for the action Of
the grand jury at the next term OF
the Circuit court on the charge OK
perjury, the charge OF abduction not
having been heard. Justice Thompson
fixed the bond ut $500. and as Beard
was unable to furnish this he was
remnnded to jail. where he viii remain
until the next term Of court.
At the trial in Justice Thompson's
court Beard offered no testimony III
his defense, although II was shown by
the evidence Of County Clerk Bender
that he had appeared at the latter's
Office Saturday evening last and SCI
cured license to marry Miss Edna
Clabaueh, of Hedgesville. swearing
that she was 81 years Of age. The
mother Of the girl then testified that
she was but 16.
Beard eloped with the girl Sunday
afternoon to Martinsburg, where they
were married. The mother Of the
girl swore out the warrant for abb
duction, charging that Beard induced
the girl to go away with him by ques-
tjonable means.

Beard for abduction will now be drop
ped, for time at least, but Beard
