Give Hancock Go BY"

The people Of Hancock, Md, and
Berkeley Springs, w. Va, are much
worked up because the new schedule of
the Baltimore x Ohio Railroad which
went into effect yesterday does not
permit the stopping of any through
trains at Hancock Station, which il
the junction of the Berkeley Springs
branch, with the exception of one No.
So, which leave Baltimore at s o'eleck
in the morning. Only local trains with
this exception now stop at Hancock
Station. For many years all passenger
trains stepped at Hancock, but now
the through trains make the run be.
tween Cumberland and Martinsburg,
IS miles, without a stop. Recently i'm
provements have been made at Han
COCK Station, including the straight
ening of the tracks and the laying
OF additional track. To permit the
running Of the trains between Cum
berland and Martinsburg withot a
stop system has been installed near
Sir Johns Run, six miles west Of Han
cock, whereby trains can take water
while running. 1t is claimed that the
water supplied the engines at Han
cock had deteriorating effect GU the
boilers and this is given as one Of the
reasons for the abandonment Of tina.
point as a water station. 1t Is said the
business men Of Hancock and Berke.
ley Springs propose taking action look
ing to having the Baltimore and Ohio
revise their new schedule otherwise the
matter might be taken up with the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Firm ASSIGNS.

The F. LDunn Furniture Co composed
of Mr.. Frank l.. Dunn and his brothe
Mr.. Prince II. Dunn, made a form al
assignment of their business for the
benefit of their creditors, naming at
torney e. K, Martin as trustee.
The gentlemen have been in busi-
ness only since last spring making
their career less than year in dura-
ton. The irst named member OF the
firm married Miss Adams, Of Front
Royal, Va, and learned the furniture
business with his father-in-law, at
that place. They are both the sons OF
Mr.. thomas l.. Dunn aud are respect
ed young men and good business men,
The cause of their failure was their in
ability toIrealize on heavy book ae-
counts having large amount OF
goods out on installment plan. Bills
for goods bought had to be met and In
order to protect all and to treat all
alike the assignment was made.
We hope they will soon be on their
feet again and that they may have bet
ter luck the next time.
