NEW B. & 0. STATION
TO OPEN THIS MONTH
Grafton viii Have One of the Finest
Passenger Depots On the
System.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
planning to open its new passenger
station at Grafton to the travelling
public on or about the 18th OF the
present month, the new terminal be-
ing part of the Improvements Presi-
dent Willard has provided fer West
Virginia and one of the finest passen-
ger stations on the Baltimore and
Ohio System. The station and facils
tiles will cost in the neighborhood of
S125 900. The completion of the ter
minal provides modern and adequate
facilities for one of the busiest cities
in the state of West Virginia.
The station building is three stories
in height, built of concrete with ter
ra Gotta and pressed brick facing The
interior is trimmed throughout in
quartered-oak The Offices Of the d.
vision officials are located in the sta
ton building. The ficors in the offices
are of wood and in the public rooms
they are of marble and tile. The gen.
eral waiting room, women's retiring
room, mems smoking room and toilet
rooms are finished with marble wains'
getting and beam ceilings of plaster
The architecture is modern Renais-
sance.
Separate eastbound platforms. coo
feet in length and covered with an
umbrella shed. will protect passen
gers from the inclemency of the
Gather. The plans were prepared by
NJ. A. Long. architect for the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, and the work
constructed under his supervision.

BERRIES STALL TRAINS.
Black and HuckIeberries So Abundant
at Doe Gulley Tunnel.

Another one from Paw Paw says:
Never before in the history of this
section has there been such an enor-
nous crop of huckleberries growing
wild. At Doe Gulley and the deep cut
approaching each tunnel the banks
are a mass Of tangled berry vines and
bushes, growing into the tunnel and
covering the track almost to depth
of six inches, and heavy trains have
become stalled, necessitatiag help
er on account of the crushed berries
and juice wetting the rails. Section
Foreman II. P. Apple has been work
ing night and day to cut out the vines
but the hot weather brings them out
more abundantly each day. The
huckIeberries are as big as marbles.
A special order has been issued
prohibiting trainmen from stopping
their trains to gather them. One
conductor took a caboose full of ber-
RES to Cumberland last night.

NEW MACHINERY
Thousands Of Dollars Appropriated
For Improvements in Shop Here
and Along The Line.

Things along the line of the Balti-
pering. Everywhere the appropria-
| tons have been largely increased and
il looks as IL the company intended to
spend vast amount in improvements.
Every available man that can be got
ten is being hired en- the track gangs.
In the shops more men are being en-
Ployed and all the shops are working
| full time.
The shops here are no exception
and men are being added to the pay
roll right along. There is more work
at the local shops at the present time
than the force can get out. The new
system Of paying for labor, which is on
the bonus plan, with every man guar
anteed his days wages, is working out
well and the company will save con-
siderable overhead expense.
An appropriation OF some twelve or
fifteen thousand dollars will be made
shortly for new machinery at the
shops here This is in addition to the
new machines that have been install
ed in the past few months. These
new machines will require more men
ard the present force will be increas-
ed probably twenty-five in the course
OF the next few weeks.
All these things are encouraging to
the people OF Martinsburg and show
that we will probably have more
substantial prosperity in the near fu-
ture than we have had heretofore.
There is only one thing lacking to
have Martinsburg an attractive place
from railroad point of view and
that is new station and there is
promise of that some time in the fu-
ture.
The road contemplates extending
its four track system through here as
soon as the work now under way west
OF this city is completed. This will
mean the expenditure of probably a
million or more as the grades are to
be taken out and the tracks raised,
new bridges built and the addition of
new tracks.
This will mean the change of the
line Of the road through here and it is
said that with contemplated change
will be a fine new station thoroughly
in keeping with extensive work that
will be done here and in accordance
with the importance of the city as
revenue producer.
The trouble with all this contem-
plated Improvement is that it is not
yet in sight and some of the people o:
Martinsburg are afraid that they will

was confronted, but the weapon miss
ed fire. He escaped, pursued by the

great industries of America, but it IS
only in its infancy We have only
commenced to realize how varied
and great are the uses T. which Co.

A jolly party, composed Of some
well known gentlemen OF town, went
to Falling Waters this morning where
they will camp for two weeks at We
tumpka club house. That they will
have a good time down along the Pc.
tomac goes without saying.
A gifted member of the party has
promised to keep the readers of The
Evening World posted from time to
time of the doings of the campers
and he will doubtless tell some good
fish stories. He did the same thing
last year and his letters were read
with much interest
The dozen or more campers took
their musical instruments along, max
ing pretty good band and they play
a lively tune as they left town this
morning in a big wagon with their
camping outfit. Thus the boys will be
able to give n band concert every
evening while in camp.
The camp, as was the case last year,
will be known as Camp Gehr, in honor
of Mr.. L. Dewitt Gerhardt, one Of the
leading spirits in the camp and one of
ats most successful fishermen. At
night he will direct the band with the
bass horn.
