On Sunday midnight. November
9th, the winter time table on the Bal
timore and Ohio road becomes effec.
tive The new schedule has not been
issued as yet, but 1t will be ready for
distribution about ten days before the
change takes place; however, 1t was
stated at the dispatches's office this
morning that there would be little
change In the departure and arrival
of the passenger trains at the local
station according TO the little informa.
ticn received at the Office from the
headquarters. 1t is not thought that
any train will arrive at Fairmont ear
ler than five or possibly ten minutes
under the rev winter schedule.
Freight car shortage has been a
problem that has been botherihg near
ly all the roads through the country
the past year, and last winter and
spring the supply was inadequate to
certain extent on the principal roads
in West Virginia. but 1t is an assured
fact, according to those who are In
position to know, that the B. and o.
will be able to supply all demands for
cars with considerable more prompt
ness this winter than heretofore, for
the company has had hundreds OF new
steel cars built during the past six
months and these are being put into
use. Business on the road promises
to be much larger this winter than last
season and the company has prepared
for such. Comparatively speaking
there Is a great deal more rolling
stock in. operation than for the past
several years, while all the cars that
have been used on the lake trade will!
be used on other parts of the line
from now until spring, as the ship
ment season closes upon arrival oil
winter weather. "

FIRFe
SEVENTEEN SCHOOL HOUSES
BURNED SINCE AUGUST
1909

Between August, 1909, and August
1910, there were seventeen school
buildings destroyed by fire in West
Virginia. all Of which are believed to
have. been OF incendiary origin. Dur.
ing the same time twelve saloons were
burned. Within the last decade no
less than three school buildings have
been burned from the same founda.
tion In Springfield district Monroe
county Each OF these fires followed
a controversy in the selection OF a
teacher and were undoubtedly Of In
cendiary origin.
The last school house to be burned
as far as known by the fire mar.
shals department-was that in Sher
man district OF Hampshire county on
October 90. and which was due to In
ccndiarism.
The burning of school buildings in
West Virginia has become so common
that extra precautions are being useo
by the fire marshal to apprehend the
guilty persons. In every instance
these fires have followed some contro'
versy with the board of education or
trustees or faction among the pa
irons, and almost without exception
the fires have occurred after midnight.
While there have been strong sus
picions as to the guilty parties In
almost every instance. efforts TO Sc
cure positive proof have not been very
successful.

AS the years 60 by It seems that
there is less business in any line
