HORSES IN DEATH
SLIDE ON HIGHWAYS
THREE REPORTED KILLED ON ROADS
I'm PAST FEW DAYS.

Three horses killed as a result OF
falls on a comparatively short stretch
w State road III the toll which has
been exacted within the past several
days. These accidents are due, N n
said, to the frozen and slippery con
dition of the surface of the roads
which becomes very smooth from Oh
Farmers claim that as far az the
State roads benefitting them are con-
cerned, they are farce and fiat fail
ure. They can haul less produce now
than ever before. They can not haul
as large loads as before. This con-
dition prevails especially in cold
weather when the surface of the road
is frozen hard like it is now.
A resident of New Market district
stated that about a week ago horse
fell on the State road near Pearl and
broke its leg. The animal had to
be killed. Two other horses fell
between New Market and Ridgeville
and broke their legs and both animals
had to be killed. These were cited as
a few instances Of mishaps to the
animals, and it was stated that the
horses fall each day, but do not AL
ways sustain fatal injuries.
Rough shoes are OF no benefit Al
was reported recently that horse
freshly rough shod would make nt
more impression On the surface of (
State road In winter than a man;

GOSSIP SAYS BIG ENGINES
FAULTY
And W. NJ. Won't Take Balance OF
MaIIet Type Locomotives,

And w. NJ. Won't Take Balance OF
MalIet Type Locomotives.
According to local railroad gossip
the Western Maryland railroad has
countermanded their order for the
delivery of the remainder Of the new
Mallet type engines. The engines
are said to consume too much coal
and water for economical operation.
One engine was recently taken to the
Dickerson yards on account OF run
ming hot before reaching it, destina-
ton.
Five engines have already been de-
livered I'd the company and sixth
fs att McKees' Rocks. The remaining
nine will not be taken, IL reports are
correct
An example OF what hard matter
ii would be for the railroad to handle
one OF these engines in case OF de-
railment or wreck was shown when
one of these engines left the tracks
last week between Baltimore and
Cumberland, falling over 50-foot
embankment. Both the Western
Maryland and Baltimore & Ohio
wrecking crews were called out, but
the engine could not be moved. 1t is
declared that one of these engines
consumed IS tons of coal between
Baltimore and Cumberland when
hauling only a caboose. The big en-
gines also require plenty Of water
and member Of the crew said that
it was necessary to take water every
20 mles-Cumberland Times.

"a Merry Christmas For Knapp Com
BRny,S Employees.

As has been the custom OF the Fred
III. Knapp Company for a number OF
years past, a substantial Christmas
bonus was distributed to all en-
ployees OF the Company who have
been on the pay roll prior to No
vember 1st The bonus received by
each employee amounted to just 8
per cent of all wages received during
the fiscal year ending November 1st
1915, and averaged 1k weeks pay to
each person.
1t is good to remember that all OF
this money as well as the yearly pay
roll Of the Fred. II. Knapp Company
is money brought to the city Of West
minister from distant points and in
many cases from foreign countries
and that all or II il either spent here
or goes into the bank accounts or the
wOrKmen.
The Knapp Company are very busy
now with rush orders which will last
for several months and will carry
them well into the regular busy sea-
SON or the year They are working
full force and could use several more
good machinists and will have tc
have them as well az a few good
handy men"
1t is also well to note that none oi
the work being done is on war muni.
tions, and so the Christmas Spirit oi
Peace on Earth, Good Will to Mem
is being strictly adhered to hv the
management of this very progressive
concern.

al can be ascertained, the fire start

horses and hogs were quartered not
taking fire until after the stock had

Mr.. Brandenburg did not wait 70

sistance, rushed to the barn to save
what was possible. He succeeded in
getting out four of the FIVE horses
and twelve hogs before being forced
from the interior by smoke and
flames. One horse and one hog
could not be removed and had to be
abandoned to their fate. The four
horses saved were somewhat singed.
No cause can be given for the fire.
The loss will amount to about $500,

In EXTREME, WITHOUT MUSIC OR
ATTENDANTS.

President Wilson and Mrs Edith
Boiling Gait were married ut Wash
ington, att $50 o'clock Saturday with
simple ceremony, spoken in the
brides home, in the presence OF less
than 30 guests, virtually all OF whom
were relatives. They left soon af-

at Hot Springs, Va. The President
and his bride travelled in private
car attached to special train leay-
ing at lilo o'clock, which is due to

The President dined as usual at
the White House at Z o'clock with
his daughters and afterward drove
to his brides home, about a mile
from the Executive Mansion. A cold
driving rain which swept the city all
day cleared off at sunset and the
evening was cool and pleasant
Everything was in readiness for the
ceremony when the President arrived
and it proceeded without music
Neither the President nor Mrs Gait
had any attendants and there were
no ushers Oh flower girls. Neither
the Army, the Navy nor the diplo-
matte corps was represented and the
occasion was essentially what the
President and his bride had wished
1t to be-a home wedding.
Mrs William III. Boiling, the brides
mother, gave her away.
The wedding costume worn by Mrs
Gait was a travelling gown, well in
keeping with the orchid-decked bower
and canopy under which she made
her marriage vows. Her gown was
of black silk velvet with bodice Of
black embroidered net and velvet, in
shades of blue in lilly design evel
cloth and silver. The hat was &

BROUGHT IN The LIQUOR.

mysterious black trunk that h.
been travelling between this city and
Charleston three times a week ''got
Oh the nerves of local officials, and

The police here tracked the trunk
to rooming house, where raid was

liquor from this city to Charleston,
the black one more frequently and
made conspicuous to divert attention
from the other one.
