BERKELEY SPRINGS BUDGET.
Chronicle of the Happenings in Nor
gan County.


Messrs. NJ. s. Harrison and II. T..
Allen are joint owners OF a tract OF
900 acres OF land in Hardy county.
which has been swept by forest fires
for the past four days and we were ex-
ceedingly glad to see the rain falling
when we arose from our beds yester-
day morning. The loss by this fire
to these gentlemen will be very heavy
in the timber destroyed as the land
was heavily covered with prime oak,
pine and walnut; but at this writing
Mr.. Harrison is unable to estimate
What the loss will be.
We are informed that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad will put a gasoline
engine ON the Berkeley Springs branch
this week to carry the passenger traf-
fic between Berkeley and Hancock in
order TO avoid the delay caused by
switching cars at the sand mills along
th road.
Mrs. Peter Hoyermale. of Allen dis
trict, dropped dead Monday at her
home, near Alpine Station, from heart
disease. She was about 60 years OF
age and leaves husband and several
children TO mourn her demise.

From The World OF Wednesday

From The World OF Wednesday:
The city council held an adjourned
session last night, Mayor Cushwa
pres ding The members were all
present except Messrs. Alderton and
Snodgrass.
The meeting was notable one by
reason OF the opposition TO Abram
Snyder's proposed building operations
in the south section of town that
found vent in council hall last night.
About fifty citizens were there to pro-
test and three sent written remon-
strances, so things were quite lively
for while, which was In marked con-
trast with the usual placid delibera-
tons of the councilmanic body.
The ball opened with the reading by
Recorder Letter of Snyder's applica-
tons for some eight building permits.
Then the three written protests were
read. when the citizens present were
allowed to make their verbal protests
against Snyder's so-called improve
ments. The burden OF their com.
plant and opposition was in regard To
the cheap character of the tenement
houses he proposes to erect, and has
built in the past, and the class of peo-
pie that generally occupy them; that
such conditions are a menace TO the
moral and physical development of a
section of Martinsburg that might
otherwise become one of the most de-
sirable residence sections of town.
Snyder's applications fer building
permits on the boom were unanimous
~ turned down by council. Further

rected To have the new house remov-
] ed that Snyder had already begun to
build on South Raleigh street at the
site of the recent fire on South Raj.

An incandescent light was ordered

City Attorney Martin was author

bridge on East Martin street with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
A bridge across the b. q 0. tracks al
that point should have been built Ions
ago, everybody in Martinsburg con
cedes, net to mention the sentiment

affected, but with the present ex
pansion and respective growth OF
| the town a bridge on East Martin
street is practically an imperative
necessity. This is not the first move
in that direction, but it Is to be hoped
that more may come out CT 1t than
ever before. 1t is one of the most
important projects that could possibly
claim the attention of the people OF
Martinsburg.
A. L. Schutt was allowed to repair

MARYLANDERs ARE STRONG.
Georgetown Cannot Expect Easy
Time With Bunch From Baltimore.

With Anderson. the star twirler who
famed out twenty Of the Navy. batters.
In the box and presenting their strongest
lineup the ball tossers of the University
of Maryland will attempt to take the
measure OF Georgetown on the hilltop
field at pm. tomorrow. They come
to the Capital city with a string of VIC
tories hanging on their belts and with
a confident hope OF being able to trim
the locals.
The Blue and Gray lads, however, have
learned by bitter experience that easy
foes are not always what they seem to
be, and hence no chances are to be taken
against the Marylanders. In all proba-
bility Balzer will be on the rubber, with
Duffy on the receiving end, and no SUBJ
stitutes will be used unless a big score
warrants ii.
Today Georgetown is clashing with
North Carolina. The Tarheels are stronger
than they have been for a number of
years. and their victory over Virginia
has placed them in the running for the
Southern championship. AS today's bat
tie would give them a big boost toward
the honors, Georgetown is expecting a
tough time Of it and every precaution
has been taken to stave off defeat. Mont
gomery. will be in the box for the Hill
toppers and Stuart for the visitors.

MIX-UP IN CREW.
Two Captains Of Georgetown Props
Cause Trouble.

After enjoying the distinction of being
captain of the Blue and Gray prep crew
for over week, Ben Brady this morning
woke up and found another claimant for
the position in the person of ]. Ennis Nc
Quail, who.> after having twice announced
his retirement on account of parental OBJ
jections, Is again back in the harness
with the intention Of rowing with the
preps at Philadelphia May -. At frs,
there were signs of trouble in the air,
but all difficulties were finally settled by
the executive committee Of the athletic
association, which approved Of McQuails $
election after Brady withdrew.
Manager O'Connor Immediately an
nounced the news to the school and made
another call for candidates. with the re-
suit that enough men to fill two boats are
again out for seats. Naturally, change
was made in the lineup. the new lead
er. McQuail. going into the stroke seat
at No {. The rest Of the boat was only
made up tentatively and many OF the men
will probably be changed this afternoon.
The choosing of McQuail for the cap
taincy has met with the approval of all
of his schoolmates since they realized
that he had a better claim for the posi-
tion than Brady. both because Of his SEN
iority in class and his longer record at
the school. Brady, ON the other hand.
will lose nothing, as he will probably be
the unanimous choice for next years
leadership.
McQuail rowed No. on last spring g
championship eight, being both the heavi-
est and tallest man in the boat. He en-
tered the prep school three years ago.
coming from Pottsville, Pa. In his first
fall he played guard on the prep foot
ball eleven. which licked everything in
sight, easily carrying off the District
title. In the fall of 1907 he was shifted
to tackle. at which position he played,
throughout the season. Last September
he accepted the leadership of the embryos
and succeeded in getting together a grit
ty buncli OF warriors. despite the fact
that he was greatly handicapped by lack
of material.
Besides losing two or three more days
of practice on account of rough water,
the crews have been deprived of their
coach. DR.. Russell. since Friday, and II
reports are true he may not be able to

is expected that definite word will be at
hand by today, so that. il DR.. Russell is
found unable. to- continue his duties, q

not doing their share toward the ac-
complishment OF this result. hut. not

tournament will be quite affair.
In the first place. there should he that
sectional pride to make this the greatest
event in bowling history and a credit
to this greater city. The American

to be held In Chicago. After that. by
voting strength on the. basis of tourney
representation. the organization was
dominated by western men. and when the
eastern bowlers pitifuliy asked at Mil
waukee and Louisville that they be given
the annual meet they were told to go
to the bow-wows. After the treatment
OF Louisville three years ago they went
and the n. B. A. was organized The
two meets of this association at Atlantic

glittering success. for. while the repre-
sentaton of teams compared favorably
with the early events of the A. B. G..
the western bowlers again laughed at
what they called the puny efforts of the
easterners at Imitation.
The first suggestion of real tournament
In Madison Square Garden received
earnest support. which led to the organi-
cation of the United Tournament Com
pany. formed for the purpose of financing
the y. B. \. event and arranging ali the
LEGAL details which are customary in all
tournaments. The capital stock is I'm the

finish the removal of the alleys. Large
financial returns are not expected from
these national meets. which are held an
