INTRODUCED BILL
War Claim OF Berkeley County For
Partial Destruction of County
Jail and Court House.

Washington, May 2S.-Representa-
tive woodward, with a denomination
for his fifth term in Congress, has re-
turned to the Capital. Representa-
tive Sturgiss asserting his assurance
of a denomination, Is back from his
district and smiles as he say he has
little to fear from the opposition to
his denomination. Hughes and Hub
ard are still away and Gaines left
last night for his first trip into his
district. He left here expecting TO
speak to a farmers meeting at Clarks-
burg. and to go on from there to Up-
shur county, where a primary election
will be held on June 9. Hitherto I'M
opposed, since the announcement Of
Captain Avis candidacy, the contest
in the Third district seems to have as
sumed an important aspect, and while
Mr.. Gaines apparently Is not alarmed
over the outlook. It looks as though he
would have quite a fight on his hands.
He has had word that the county
committee of Pocahontas county has
called a primary election for that
county on June "a.
Representative Sturgiss has intro
duced a bill in the House, which is ex-
pected to have the unanimous consent
of the committee, TO provide for the
payment by the government OF 1890
TO the County Court of Berkeley
county for damages done to the court
hause and jail Of that county by Tn
ion soldiers during the civil war. The
amount is that found by the court or
claims some time ago, but which has
never been appropriated by Congress.
The item was omitted from the omni
bus bill in the Senate, but the chances
are it will be placed In the House Dill
and possibly carried when the bill
comes to a conference.
Senator Elkins has been receiving
congratulations in person and by wire
for several days over the Senate's sus-
tanning his bill regarding railroad
rates and the failure OF the Cumnins
amendment. The fight on the Cum
Minis amendment was hard and the
principle at stake was n or the IS
sues in consideration of the bill. AT
first the majority apparently was
against the measure and favorable to
the amendment. Senator Elkins has
devoted almost his entire time for
weeks to this measure and 1t was
largely owing to his skill and tact
in the floor management of the meas
ure that 1t was adopted.
Representative Gaines has recon-
mended w. w. Nolan for postmaster
at Pence Springs, Summers county,
and on his recommendation P. A.
Blake has been appointed postmaster
at Williamsburg. G%reenbrier county,
and Andrew G.. Boyles at Wikel. Mon
roe county.

ELKS HOUSEWARNING
Eighth Anniversary Of Lodge Marked
BY Large Public Reception
in New HSene.
IN New HWe1e

From The World Of Saturday:
The Martinsburg Eks celebrated
their eighth anniversary by giving a
public reception last night from 5 to
II O'Clock. The affair was entirely in
formal and the four hundred or more
guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Many ladies were present and they
added a charm to the occasion.
The reception partook Of the nature
OF a big house-warming party, coin
c;dent with the completion of the fir.
nishing OF the new Elk home in the
srcdgrass building ~ West King
street. The Elks were in their iolliest
alood and everybody was mad. to fa,.
happy and ~perfectlv at ho-na
Az the guests arrived they we're met
a.. the door by vari us EIks aa1 were
shown to a room on the second floor
where they were requested to register
their names. Then they were served
punch. after which they were shown
to the rear game room and the other
apartments of the house, winding up
in the lodge oom proper, on the sec
ond floor where luncheon was served,
consisting of sandwiches, veal salad,
with lettuce dressing, olives and Nea-
politan ice-cream.
While the reception was in progress
the City Band Orchestra Of twelve
pieces, stationed in the back parlor
on the first floor, discoursed some
sweet music.
The house was p~rettily decorated
with flowers for the occasion. the Elks
being assisted in the work by Mrs. L.
Dew. Gerhardt, Mrs. Stephen r. Snod-
grass, Mrs. Robert H. Stewart and
Mrs. C. C Westrater.
Among the lodge members from out
Of town at the reception were Messrs.
Clarence Litten and j. S. Lanford, two
b. G. o. officials at Cherry Run.
After the ladies had taken their de-
parture about 1890 o'clock the Elks
had an enjoyable session that lasted
till midnight. Altogether the recep-
ton was a pronounced success and
was enjoyed by the guests quite as
much as by the Elks themselves.
The new Elk home is very hand
somely furnished, the furniture
throughout being either in leather or
old mission, while costly carpets or
rugs cover most of the floors and pic
lures adorn the walls. The house was
very much admired last night by all
and compliments were heard on every
hand. The lodge now numbers two
hundred members and they have ev-
cry reason to be proud OF their new
home.

Wedding Gifts That Are Different.

course, when the bride-to-be is a dear

Aect a present, but when she is com

silver sugar-tongs, with the brides

Martinsburg Is to have a brand new
industry this year that is destined 10
be an important factor in the CONNER
cial life of the place namely, a vine
z mandatory. That such an indus
try should be located here the size of
Berkeley county's annual apple crop
well a~ttests.
Recently Messrs. Thomas J., James
M. and Robert f. Kistler, of Strouds.
Burg, Monroe county, Pa, bought a
tract of eight acres of land from Mr..
Triplett G. Smith, just west OF the
Cumberland Valley Railroad between
Fourth and Fifth streets. On this land
in the extreme southwestern section
of town the vinegar plant and later Il
canning factory will be located.
The Kistler brothers have already
erected a frame building 40x1S feet OF
the land in which to manufacture con-
crete blocks for their new buildings
which will be erected this summer and
TALL. They do not, however, contem-
plate beginning to make vinegar be-
Tore next spring, The Cumberland
Valley Railroad has already begun to
grade for the switch into the plant.
The first building to be erected
will be a two story concrete structure,
so feet long and 40 feet wide with
basement. Adjoining this will be the
concrete power house, 40x30 feet in
dimensions and equipped with a 30
horsepower engine. Nearby will be
the generating building. 70x30 feet and
two stories high. This will also be
of concrete. Later a large storage and
tank building will be erected, which
will be either of concrete or brick.
The canning factory, as intlmated, will
come next and will likely be built next
year. This is to be proportionately as
large as the other part of the plant.
From the size and character Of the
buildings that will constitute this
plant it will readily be seen that il
is to be on an extensive scale. The
capacity of the vinegar factory, n o!
The Messrs. Kistler told an Evening
World reporter today, will be $4,000
barrels, approximately, or about 500,
900 gallons, amounting to about lot
carloads annually,
Kistler Bros. have a vinegar plan
at ~Stroudsburg of about the same ca
pacity that the one in Martinsburg i:
80 be. They are practical men, ant
navine , thorough knowledge OF thf
business, they will undoubtedly sue
coed in their enterprise here. Theil
factory at Stroudsburg is n of the
largest in the country making exclus
lively cider vinegar, and that Is the
Rind they will make here.
