rs THE CITY PREPARED

For some time past the city of Mar
tinsburg has been facing a suit for
damages Several times this case has
been in court and always something
has come up to cause its postpone
Inent. Tuesday ii came up again in the
circuit court ald again it was post
goned because the city's counsel was
not ready to go TO trial.
Fortunately for the city, counsel
was able to show the court SUFFICIENT
cause for a deferring OF the case. 1t
was close shave, though, and showed
clearly that the city was in no wise
prepared TO defend itself against the
suit.
Not much over a month ago new
city attorney was appointed. This at
torney was not familiar with the case
end in the time he has held office II
would have scarcely been possible for
him to have prepared evidence which
would have been sufficient to combat
the evidence which would have been
submitted by the plaintiffs who have
been accommodating their evidence not
fer few weeks past but for years.
The latter part of last week additional
counsel was employed by the city to
assist the city attorney. 1t was not
possible that in less than week this
counsel could take up the case OF so
much Importance to the city a1d be
prepared to defend it as 1t should be.
The plaintiffs were present with an
array of witnesses which consumed
nearly an hour of the courts time in
ascertaining whether or not they were
all present The plaintiff was ready
for trial and urged that the court pro-
coed.
1t would seem that the city had not
taken the same precaution to provide
itself with proper defense of the
case as has the plaintiffs in their pre-
paration for the prosecution of their
quit In the postponement of the case
until the next term OF court the city
attorney, with the assistance of the
lately appointed assistant counsel, will
have sufficient time to prepare a pro-
per defense of the case.
The case is of importance not only
TO the city as whole but from the
list Of witnesses called 1t would seem
that many individuals will be inter
ested in the outcome of the suit.

NOTABLE BUILDING BOOM
NOW ON IN THIS CITY
Houses Going UP as if by Magic on
Rosenont and Elsewhere
in the City.

Contractor Joseph Artz is making
some notable alterations at The old
Valley House, now the Colonial. The
dining room is be ng enlarged by re-
moving the partition between that
room and the kitchen and throwing
the two into one, and in order to make
II more uniformly square a new frame
addition is being built at the north
end. The hotel kitchen will be moved
to frame house in the rear, a closed
passageway connecting it with the
main building.
The first tier OF joists is laid on the
large extension at the rear of E. r.
Millard's business block, 227 to 231
North Queen street.
c. G. Keedy's new brick business
block and residence at the corner of
North Queen and Race streets is up
to the sqaare.
The foundation walls for the new
United Brethren church on North
Queen street, near Pennsylvania
avenue will be finished this week, pas
TOT Gruyer says.
But out along West King street ON
the Rosemont extension the building
activity is the greatest of any section
Of the city, and nothing like 1T, per-
laps, has ever been witnessed in the
HISTORY Of Martinsburg. Houses are
going up as if by magic, new streets
have been opened and the whole land
scape changed by the builder in the
last few months.
The most imposing structure in the
neighIborhood is the colonial residence
being erected for Col. Stuart w. Wal
ker. 1t stands on an eminence lust
west of the tollgate and commands a
magnificent view of the surrounding
country, and the house itself will be
in keeping with it's beautiful environs
The tile roof is now being put on and
the mansion will be ready for occu-
pancy this fall.
Frank j. Trammels new brick house
east Of Col. Walkers will soon be I'M

II. P. Thorn, not content with hav-
ing built two of the most attractive
dwelling houses in town, has the con-
crete foundation mp for another adj
joining on the west and opposite the
baseball ground On West King street.
One of Frank A. Minors double
frame houses in the same neighbor-
food is under roof and the other is
NJ to the square.
The street on the Rosemont hill is
being widened and eventually a con-
crete pavement will be laid all along
there ON the west side of West King
street.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT HAS
AGAIN BEEN POSTPONED
Attorney for Corporation Not Ready
For Trial and Court Granted
Continuance,

Circuit Court convened Tuesday
morning at $50, with Judge Daily, OF
Romney, on the bench.
The case set for trial was that
4 B. B. Newcomer, 8. j. Dixon and
Fred. Snyder against the Corporation
of Martinsburg in suit for damages
| for $75, 900. The plaintiffs claim thai
| the pollution of the Tuscarora, which
flows through Their lands, has damag
CT their property to the amount of the
damages asked.
About one hundred witnesses had
been summoned in the case and near
" an hour was taken up by the clerk
OF the court calling the roll of those
summoned. The witnesses were slow
coming in and the counsel for the
plaintiff seemed exceedingly anxious
that every one of the number be
present before the case should be
taken up.
The witnesses came from all parts
Of the county and many of the more
prominent citizens Of Martilsburg
were included
After the counsel had been satisfied
with the number present and the
sheriff had been sent after several
absentees Attorney d. w. Snyder, for
the plaintiff stated to the court that
his clients were ready for trial.
Attorney ]. M. Woods for the de-
fendant corporation asked that the
trial be postponed, that counsel for
the defendant had not had time to
prepare for trial He stated that the
present City Attorney had just re-
Gently been appointed and that he
himself was only secured to assist in
the past few days. City Attorney VIII
lams stated that he was not able to
get hold Of the papers in the case as
soon as he assumed his duties but
that he had gotten them only a few
days before the opening Of the present
term of court and was therefore not
familiar with the case.
Counsel for the plaintiff took ex-
ception to this and endeavored to
|
ficient time to prepare for trial as he
had notified the City Attorney that
the case would come up at this term.
Judge Daily told counsel for the
defense that the only grounds on
which he could consider continuance
would be for them to show that they
had not been able to get the papers
until the tine stated Former City
Attorney Downey was called and was
put on the witness stand as was also
the present city attorney and the
testimony brought out there must
have been SUFFICIENT to convince the
judge that the statement of the de-
PENDANT counsel was correct for he
granted a continuance.
A motion was then made by defe1-
dant counsel asking the plaintiff to
file a bill OF particulars, which was
granted.
The case will c0me up again at the
January term of court
