The Streets To Be Oiled.

AT the meeting of the town council on
Monday night an order was passed au-
thorizing the street committee TO oil any
street or any block in Shepherdstown
where the proDery owners raise the funds
for The purchase of the oil, the town Off
Gals paying for placing il properly on the
street. E. Rush Turner has raised by
subscription fund sufficient to oil the
three principal blocks on Main street,
and the property owners along Princess
street are now raising fund TO oil that
street between Washington and Rocky
streets. An effort will also be made TO
secure funds for at least two more blocks
on Main street and several blocks on
Duke street. The benefits OF oiIing
the streets were wen exemplified last
summer when the dust nuisance was so
thoroughly abated where the oil was ap-
piled.
The town officials are now in CORE
spondence with the the Standard Oil
agent in regard TO the purchase OF tank
car of oil. Buying it by this method
would mean a considerable reduction in
the price, and if the people on all the
principal streets of the own would get
busy, probably use tor full tank would
be found. The past couple OF weeks
have been very dry, and the dust was al
most intolerable at times.

Bridge Project Fails Again.

bT1Qxc FFOIcCt Tdiio hSdiH.
The County Court of Jefferson county
last Saturday decided not TO submit to the
voters of Charles Town district the ques-
ton OF erecting a bridge across the Shen-
andoat river at a cost of some $40, 600.
1t will be recalled that at the last election
the question of erecting such a bridge
was submitted TO the voters of the county,
and was defeated by large majority.
Captain H. c. Getzendanner, who is the
most earnest advocate or the bridge
proposition, succeeded in getting through
the Legislature at its last session bill
authorizing the County Court to submit
to the voters of Charles Town district
the question as TO whether or not the
bridge should be built. The court has
since that time given considerable atten-
ton TO the proposition, and on Saturday
the matter came up for final decision.
Messrs. Burns, Snyder and Heflebower
v.ted against submitting the question,
and Mr.. Miles cast the only vote III favor
OF it. So the bridge fails again.
The majority voting against submission
took the ground that the cost of the pro-
posed bridge and the necessary roads
and approaches thereto. added TO the in
debtedness Of the district and of the coun-
ty ard municipal corporation therein,
would exceed the legal limit OF five per
cent of the value Of the taxable property
in the district.

Baseball.

Baseball.
In very warmly contested game oil
baseball last Saturday Shepherd College
met and defeated their ancient enemy, the
team representing St. James School, by a
score of 10 to g. In the early part OF the
game the home team held the lead, but in
the fifth and six innings the visitors found
Phillips and ran their score four ahead oil
our boys. In the seventh by some lucky
hitting our boys made two more runs and
in the eighth managed to get one more,
which put them one behind the visitors.
In the last inning the rooters seeing
chance for victory put new lie into the
team and two hits and stolen base
brought the tying run. Then with two
out Irwin came up and got TO first base on
scratch hit, and on the next ball he
stole second. At this point Frank Bill
myer drove out two-bagger to right
field and the game was ours. The game
was well played on both sides and the
visitors are to be commended for their
good spirit and gentlemanly conduct.
An interesting game is scheduled for
Shepherdstown on Saturday at 2 O'Clock,
when Shepherd College will play the
boys of the Maryland School for the Deaf,
of Frederick. Admission Is cents.

Going On With Firemen's Building.

VII oaha"6s
Work has been resumed on the con-
struction of the new building ofthe Shop
herdstown Fire Department at the corner
of King and New streets, and Contractor
Hunter B. Grim has force of halt a
dozen or more brick-layers busily en-
gagged in pushing the erection of the walls.
The walls are Is inches thick, faced with
good-looking red pressed bricks laid in
red mortar, and enough work has been
done to indicate that it will make fine
appearance. This new building will not
only be a large and substantial one, but
it will be handsome and imposing and
an ornament to the section of the town
where it is located. II is worthy the aid
of all OF our people, and we hope that
there may be no difficulty in providing
the firemen with funds TOR its completion.
The fire department made PROPOSE
ton to the town council on Monday night
to provide in the new building room
SuitdDiC iOi SOuuSH ilICCuuSo dHu Hudit
for the lookup for the very reasonable
rent OF SIS year until such time as the
building shall be tree from debt, when
the town shall have the privilege at a
nominal rent. The council regarded the
proposition with favor and il was unani-
mously accepted, subject to agreement
on some minor details. We regard this
as very generous offer upon the part of
the firemen. II is another step toward
the removal OF the old market-house
building, as it will mean its abandonment
by TIE town and by the firemen when
the new building shall have been conf
pleted. The firemen will have suitable
accommodations for the fire apparatus,
with modern improvements that will add
much to their efficiency, and will be much
more comfortable. The new building
will AFFORD also large and commodious
public hall-something that is very greatly
needed in our town at present, as there
is no general place of assembly such as
IS so often needed.

concerning rhe oId Market.tIouse.

concerning the Oid Ndfhct-hooSS'
The town council at its meeting on
Monday night heard report from COM
mittee concerning the hoped-for removal
from King street OF the old market-honse.
the upper floor of which belongs to CAL
edonia Lodge of Odd Fellows. II was
not found possible to accept a PROPOSE
ton made by the Odd Fellows. namely,
that suitable lot be donated to them and
the old building replaced upon it. for the
reason that no location could be pur-
chased at price within limits. The
council, after discussing the proposition,
passed a resolution agreeing to pay CAL
edonia Lodge the sum OF $500 if il would
surrender its lease on the building, this
being in the opinion of the town officials
as much as the corporation could afford
TO pay. The Odd Fellows will present
the councils offer to the lodge atan early
date.
Two suggestions were made to the
Odd Fellows at the meeting OF the joint
committees last Thursday evening. One
was that they take long-tem lease on
the room in the Register building at
present occupied by the Masons, who
will move into their proposed new build
ing next year. The other was that the
building of Benjamin Hartzell, on Prin-
cess street, be purchased, Mr.. Hartzell
having offered it for sale. AT this meet
ing the committee that had been appoint
ed TO secure a location to which the old
building might be removed reported that
it had been unable to secure feasible
site. II is hoped that ultimately a salts
factory solution of this vexed problem
may be reached, for almost everybody
would like TO see this unsightly obstruc-
ton removed from the center OF the
street.
