Sandy Hook to Remain Dry.

In Hagerstown on Monday the tenn
perance forces won their fight against the
opening OF saloon at Sandy Hook, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, east OF
Harper's Ferry. Judge Keedy refused to
grant the German Brewing Company, OF
Cumberland, license 10 do business
there, on the ground that the application
did not meet the legal requirements. 1t
is said that the Baltimore and Ohio,
which used its influence to have Knox
vile, several miles from Sandy Hook,
made "dry" by the Legislature, is also
anxious to keep saloons out OF Sandy
Hook, as many of its employees live there.
So far, every effort to locate saloons on
Maryland soil near the West Virginia
line have failed before Judge Keedy.

For Water Works.

There has been more talk the past
week or two on the subject OF water
works for Shepherdstown, and some OF
our leading citizens have expressed a
determination to push the project, with a
view TO having the corporation install a
system. II proposed as preliminary
step that an expert be summoned here
to look over the town and its environ
ment, and offer suggestions as to the
most practicable method of securing
water. The matter will probably be pre-
scented to the town council at its next
meeting. We hope that our people gen.
orally will interest themselves in the pro-
iect and work unitedly until we shall get
good water and plenty OF it.

Delightful Open-Air Services.


The first open-air service Of the season
in Shepherdstown was held last Sunday
evening on the college campus and was
a great success. Several hundred per-
sons were present. Every seat that had
been provided was occupied, and scores
Of persons sat upon the steps OF the por-
tico or upon the wall, while the children
sat upon the grass. II was very sweet
and impressive service, there under the
trees in the soft light of the setting sun.
The birds sang in the trees, the little
brook that flows through the campus
murmured unsteady, and all the sur
roundings were pleasing. The service
was in charge of Rev. DR.. Charles GhiSe-
lin, OF the Presbyterian Church. An able
and impressive sermon was preached by
Bishop w. L. Gravatt, Of Charles Town,
from the text, "Thy kingdom come"
The good Bishop seemed inspired by the
attentive congregation and the beauty OF
the surroundings, and preached with great
force and earnestneSs. His thoughtful
and helpful discourse was greatly appre-
ciated. The music was led by choir OF
our town singers, in charge of Prof. J.. D.
Muldoon, and the congregation joined
heartily in the familiar old hymns that
were sung. We think that all the people
were pleased with the service, and we
predict that the congregations will grow
larger each Sunday. Everybody is in
vited TO attend them-town and country
and neighboring places. More seats will
be provided next Sunday evening. A
collection will be taken at each service,
TO defray the necessary expenses. The
service begins at G, 30 and continues one
hour

 The Sacramento citizens committee withdrew it's verbal offer to furnish transportation for a distance of fifty miles to members of the army and the Sacramento district attorney vetoed any move toward assisting in the in ternal affairs of another county. These actions left Yolo county without the money or men to enforce it's ultima tum, delivered last night, that the un- employed must be moved before night fall.
 Sheriff Monroe. Of Yolo, induced the leaders of the army to consent to move eastward in units of fifty or less be- tween now and Monday, if Sacramento would give safe conduct through it's territory. Sacramento consented provided Placer and Nevada counties to the east would agree. Word was received, however, that the sheriffs of these two counties were arming deputies and that Governor Oddie of Nevada was prepared to call on his state police to prevent the army leav- ing railroad cars within that state.

Holds Out for
 Trolley Lines
NEW HAVEN UNWILLING TO pIS-
 POSE OF THEM.
A BONE OF CONTENTION
Railroad Officials and Attorney Gen. eraI Still at Variance-Disssree Also Over Terms of B. G Nj. Trustees.

Washington March 13.-Success or failure of the plan for a peaceful dis solution of the New Haven railroad system hinged tonight largely on two propositions-the length of service of the trustees, who it is proposed shall take over the stock of the Boston and Maine railroad now owned by the New Haven, and the divorce or retention of the systems Connecticut trolley lines. After an all day conference between counsel for the New Haven and at torneys for the department, it became known tonight that no agreement had been reached on either proposition. The conferences will be resumed tomorrow, and it is possible that the muddle over the trolleys, at least, will be clarified to such an extent that basis for com promise will be reached
 A Two Year Trustesship.
 So far as the trusteeship for the Boston and Maine is concerned, the two sides to the conference were ad- mittedly so far apart that this ques- tion was not taken up at all during the day. The department was said tonight still to be insisting that the trustees shall serve not more than two years, while the New Haven held the posi- tion that such a term is too short. For the present the Boston and Maine problem will be left to sIumber, and the trolleys and steamship phase of the dissolution will be considered in detail. If a compromise is found, 1t probably will be on two year basis with right of two year extension on approval by a court.
 Banks Take Up New HaVen's Cause.
 It was not believed here tonight that Attorney McReynolds would concede liberal terms, although agreement on the other parts of the dissolution plan may influence both sides in the Boston and Maine matter. Reports from New England tonight that many banks in that section have taken up the cudgels for the New Haven were received with interest at the department of justice.
 Several communications were receiv- ed from banks suggesting that the de- partment might show more leniency in the Boston and Maine matter.
 Claims TroIIsys Are Feeders
 The difficulty today arose mainly over the Connecticut trolley holdings of the New Haven. although the sep aration Of the stearnshhip lines pre- sents it's own troublesome problems The New Haven has taken the position that It's Connecticut trolleys are feed CTS to the New Haven itself. and es sential to it's operation. On the other hand. the department of justice main fains that these trolleys must be sep arated from the New Haven in order to rstore competition to New England transportation.
